lovelomsak Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Did not look like a brawl to me. More like a gentlemen's disagreement. As soon as one man was down the other quit. Not once but twice. 2 punchs 2 knockdowns fairly polite men I would say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle60 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Who cares what nationality they are. They are unable to hold their alcohol and seemingly not be able to behave like adults. Some men, have a deep sense of inadequacy within themselves. A lack of self pride. Most are not tough and would lose in any street brawl. But they are cowards and bullies. Always picking on people who they know either do not like to fight, or are not tough looking. People should name and shame them all over the internet. Show them up for the immature prats they truly are. Idiots of the highest level who spoil it for everyone else. It is pathetic to see grown men acting like teenagers who can not hold their beer and have to get nasty. I think the majority of people of all ages look on it with disgust and contempt. What total losers that they come all this way on holiday and can not enjoy themselves without losing their temper and scrapping. They have no idea where they are or how dangerous their behavior can be. SE Asia is not Europe and it is easy to be the victim of harsh justice if you pick on the wrong person. Grow up and my advice is leave us alone. Because we the majority can't stand you. We think your idiots. Morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe newspapers from other countries don't report what their natives get up to in Thailand. Are you trying to say that brittish newspapers are outstanding for good reporting, or are you just to confused to realize what media does for a living?

I will go out tonight or maybe tomorrow night and I wont give a flying **** that 2 Brits got into a fight on NYE and I doubt any of the Thai people I see drinking will mention it either. I see a group of teen kids walk towards me any time of day or night here and don't give it a second thought, even if I have just read a story that very day about 8 Thai teenagers hacking a disabled trader to death with machetes.

PerkinsCuthbert Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Historically, your British common soldier always behaved like a Neanderthal while abroad; read about them during the Peninsular War or in the C19th on the subcontinent. Without decent leadership they invariably lost control of themselves to drink and their ridiculous, overweening sense of their own masculinity. Modern times may have brought mass tourism, but the British male has learned neither good behaviour nor how better to hold his liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter48 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Brits already heading towards the odd marginalised people of Europe post Brexit vote; sterling dropping, high prices, squeezed wages and pensions, jobs going back to continent, staff shortages as EU workers go and tax revenues threatened. The Brexit bulldog tabloids like Mail and Sun typify a declining nation leaving 500 million other Europeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 9 hours ago, simoh1490 said: Why is it always the Brits., they need to stay home if they can't control themselves in public. There was a survey (poll) in a British newspaper some years back about what Brits looks forward to during a vacation; I was amazed to see that young British men rather looked forward to a fight, than dreaming of a holiday romance (sex, it said in the survey). I cannot easily Google it, so I'll not mention the percentages by memory. However an academic study from 2008 showed up about young Brits, German and Spanish holidaying, where 11.6% of Brits where involved in a fight, whilst it was only 4.8% for Germans and 1.7% among Spanish. Not surprising young males were the vast majority. A more recently published article from 2015 (available both in The Sun and in Daily Mail, however the latter I don't link to, as it's only accessable via VPN) says that young Brits prefer culture more than sex and nightlife, when travelling abroad; i.e. "No sex please, we're British"...

Modern times may have brought mass tourism, but the British male has learned neither good behaviour nor how better to hold his liquor. Funnily enough, I recently read a translated journal of a Frenchman, who accompanied many “Brits” on a campaign. he noted that in as little as one generation, the “Brits” had descended into barbarism.... the campaign... circa 1100 crusades that said.... any soldier abroad (to fight) generally behaves like a Neanderthal... it’s called aggression, and is a prerequisite for a successful soldier. (Admittedly, flashbangs are easier than maintaining a rage... but you get the point) your comment regards loss of control (during historical battles) is applicable to all armies without good leadership... even, at times, with good leadership (pillaging being a right of war, historically), and is in no way unique to the British army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmacleod Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 British young men when they go out to bars and nightclubs regularly fight in the UK, it has happened in the UK many times every night in the UK since time in the UK began. I don't know the reason why so many young British men fight across towns and cities in the UK, but they fight all across the UK! Unfortunately these UK fighters have passports sometimes, and like to swap the scenery of a female British ladies chest in a dodgy nightclub for a more exotic chest! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
