chezy86 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Most of the trouble I read about is gangs of Thais attacking lone tourists or security guards. There’s trouble from all nationalities when there’s boozing involved and that’s a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you read the Mirror article and see the much more serious fighting by Ozzie school leavers and get back to us? It'll snow in h*ll before I read The Mirror.

miamiman123 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 “A pint and a fight” is the Brit mentality especially in Hua Hin. I’ve seen this kinda behavior there and not just on New Years. A father whose kid was criticized by a teacher at a international school in HH was ready to fight and he wasn’t drinking. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredandhappyhere Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If the brawlers were indeed British, then, yes, the Brits were displaying thuggish behaviour whilst abroad, which, regrettably, is not that uncommon once they have had a few too many. However, when the article appeared to claim that the locals, presumably meaning Thais, tried to stop the fight and were, therefore, some kind of heroes, that was stretching things just a bit! To the poster who implied that the fight was more like a sissy brawl than anything serious, I would suggest that any one of those bare knuckle blows could have caused one of the combatants to lose an eye, or even worse, to die if hitting his head on the pavement when falling. Still safer, of course, than using guns or knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverell Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 2 hours ago, smedly said: I see two drunken idiots falling around trying to fight, the headline makes it sound like there was a riot Personally I would label this as one of the much talked about "false news" stories we are exposed to more and more Is there nothing more important to report than this garbage "non news" seriously Agreed. Exaggeration in articles is everywhere, whether it is a forum or many international news sites. The crazy thing is that many people don't look past the headlines and jump to false conclusions as a result. Some of the exaggerations are to increase traffic to monetised websites, other exaggerations and false stories have a more sinister agenda...

TomJoad Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This is probably why so many local Thais in places like Hua Hin and Pattaya often have that look on their faces that says "oh no, not another foreigner" rather than the usual welcoming Thai smile.

jenny2017 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 : What about a fight between one local and a foreigner, when the 5- 10 friends of the local then almost kill him? Was there, done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I live in Hua Hin. This is the same area where the UK woman was beaten up by Thai gangs and the video went viral all around the world. And the same area where the Hua Hin bombing occurred and a Thai woman was killed. The police have been closing the Binabaht area at about 00:15 the last few days because the police don't want more negative news coming out of Hua Hin. You can see the women in the bars trying to get them to stop because they know all the bars will be closed down for the night if these two drunk morons are allowed to continue. The biggest "culture shock" I experienced moving to Thailand was the extremely low class farangs you see everywhere in Thailand. And it is very telling that many TV people comment here how this is common place in their town back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
