Booboo101 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I wonder where it says in Buddhist teachings that it’s OK for 10 men to beat up one guy, kick him in the head and beat him unconscious and leave him for dead, then just walk away without a thought........religion is such a wonderful thing !

See post #143. i think what really happen is two groups fight together. The English and the Luuk Krung gang. The Luuk Krung gang won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when they get their wife or partner pregnant, and then sod off to find another woman.. And do it all again. Leaving the woman and child with no support. That job normally becomes the responsibility of a farang. Probably one like they thought needed to be taught a lesson. Thai men have a lot to be thankful for about farang men. Take care of their offspring and families. While they don't seem to care, let alone know the meaning of the word child support. This is an illusion of a newcomer that Thai men are much worse than thai women After all thai man is a product created and shaped by a Thai mother.

Expat Tom Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This is one of the reasons that I am leaving Thailand. In February I was assaulted by Thai tour bus drive in front of hundreds of people. I made a police report but couldn't give details regarding the bus. I was able to fight the guy off but was very concerned that, if I really hurt him, I would have to fight 20 Thais. This place is just too violent for me. I survived war....combat....and don't want to be done in at age 70 by some punks. In fact, I have traveled to over 60 countries and have only had defend myself against assault ( Non-combat) in Thailand. the incident in Feb was the second time!

It is what it is. You no doubt will believe you're invincible until you are not. Best to learn that lesson early as eventually age catches up to you. You don't see 50 and 60+ year olds in the Octagon or the ring. That ends in your 40s if you're having a good run. But if you don't 'get' that now, well, you'll eventually get a clue. You're a better man than I. Best of luck, dude. It has nothing to do with what I believe , there is always someone bigger and stronger . Difference is I would never roll over or go down without a fight. more to the point , days of 500 baht fines are over. Fines are now now at least double if not 10 times fold and that is police fines where it was just a fight with no serious damage. anything as serious as this will get escalated to court, unless 3 punks are willing to make large financial contribution. Believe it or not but I once had to pay 20 000 for slapping 4 Indians , no blood, no cuts and yet 20 000. And before some smartass makes some retarded comment, they kicked my disabled pup, who could not even walk PS. And yes, totally agree on the age thing. Had s broken finger after punching someone out , never thought possible in my younger years ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctkong Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 3 hours ago, oobar said: At a night venue several years ago, a pack of Thais set upon a pair of tourists to teach them the ways of the LOS. The two tourists, however, were hardened Aussies. The boys from down under stood back to back and took on the horde as it came at them. The altercation ended with so many Thais busted and bleeding in the street that the few remaining wisely gave up the attack. The two Aussies, uninjured, walked away to go have a beer. Trink reported on this. Never wise to go have a beer after such a fight. Loss of face is never taken well by Thais. Given enough time, some of these crazies will regroup and come at you with guns.... thai mentality is to shoot first to assuage the loss of face first and only then think of the consequences. Anecdotal evidence abound about Thai short fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I could live with myself as opposed to the cowards who would allow others to be beaten. You think to yourselves, "Of course I'm a coward and a clone like all the others in society who only care about themselves and have no empathy for the victims of battery. But I'm unharmed and can enjoy my ignoble existence as a coward." That's it in this day and age isn't it? No honor, no sacrifice, just narcissism. How's that song go I here in the gym: "Me, me, me, me, only me; Me me me me, only sexy me!." Yeah that wraps it for today's values. I honestly am glad I was born in my generation. Different values than today's lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRoadrunner Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 If a Farang had beaten a Thai in a similar way he would have to pay the police and the hospital. What's the betting these Thai boys get off with a 500 Baht fine. If they want foreign tourists it should be 20 years for attempted murder. I notice how Thais will help other Thais in a fight, but if you are a Farang you are on your own, other Farang won't step in to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy777 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I intervened at an incident in Nana Plaza years ago. A young American sailor was being physically dragged out of a girly bar by some angry Thai security guys. I took a chance and walked up to them, grabbed the sailor by the shoulder and asked loudly where he had been and that I was looking for him everywhere. One Thai guy asked me if he was my friend and I said yes and hoped for the best. They pushed him hard toward me and told me to get him out of there or 'big problem'. I got him out of there. It was spur of the moment and I'm well aware it could have turned ugly quickly. I'm 65 now so I don't know that I'd chance it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai tour bus driver must have been provoked enough to justify his wrath. Usually the uncouth behaviors came from tuk tuk or van drivers. Tour bus drivers are normally better paid and more disciplined. Moreover victim is a farang and elderly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctkong Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 1 hour ago, toenail said: If a traveler is new in a country sometimes what is a “caring” or normal Western response to a situation may not be acceptable to locals. In Africa I learned if one had a car accident it was best to leave the scene and rush to your local embassy and report the tragedy than face a mob of locals stoning you to death. In Bangkok I once saw this young Thai man beating the heck out of his girlfriend. I started to walk up to him to stop his brutality until my friend warned me to not get involved; for he may hurt me instead of “cooling down”. In the States, a man helping single women (all ages)with a flat tire is frowned upon in some areas. I imagine this guy didn’t know how Thai men will suddenly join together to fight an individual even though these Thai thugs don’t know the whole story. Thai men join into the fight if one party is Thai because it is an insult to their Thai face if Thais lost the fight to foreigners. It is the nationalistic thing regardless who is right or who started first. Especially those uncouth Thais in the blue collar jobs or nightlife.

Expats are the antichrist, they must be separated from their cash before we beat them and throw them out of our kingdom. Thai economic factor is getting better and better through the years on one hand while the quality of foreign tourists especially those from the west are going down. Thais are looking at the foreigners with different eyes now and it is not a positive result .They are also better informed now through the internet and know their status better now unlike a couple of decades ago. Cheap air travel worldwide does not help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harriott456 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 when have you ever seen a fight kick off in the street and its 'queensbury rules'? i think possibly only the pikeys do it..and that when its organised, a punch up in the street is never 1 on 1, get off you high horses.! always the same on TV..blame thais no matter what...you really must have had some bad experiences here. it not just a 'thai' thing, being English i'd say watch any CCTV form uk at weekends! pretty sure it goes for any nationality too! if i were to generalise and judge a book by its cover i'd say sleeve tats and a footy shirt on stereotypical larger lout/beer monster look, if 1st time in Thailand probably though he's sort it being larger in size..add a skin full of booze..but maybe he's a perfectly nice chap. who knows. either way hope he gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
