Catoni Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 20 hours ago, emptypockets said: The same way as you would have said Asian if it had happened to you. How would you know what I would say? Fact is, your analogy is a poor one. I would simply state skin colour and hair and eyes and anything else I could remember if I survived an attack from some criminal. I would say the person was white, black, light brown, dark brown, etc... and what they were wearing. Example: If the guy was black... I would NOT say he looked African. I would say he was black. If he was white... I would say he is white. I would not say he looked European. However over the years I have become better at guessing which country an Asian person comes from. Still wrong often,...but not as wrong as in the past. And if the bad guy spoke and I recognized the language, I would mention that also. By the way, Canadians and Americans are not usually European unless they were born there. I’m a white Canadian and although my distant ancestors were from Europe, I’ve never been to Europe in my life and probably never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvdf Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) So you're all mocking this critically injured Thai and making fun of the fact that he almost lost his life as a result of this assault? But hey, why should I be surprised as this is ethically acceptable amongst some here. Edited February 16, 2020 by mvdf 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn’t hear him, or see his passport, there is not way he knows where he was from-impossible-all Americans (except natives) originally came from Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Smith Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Whilst I agree that we get some dodgy characters amongst the western tourists, the location of the attack is not where you would normally expect to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... Did he have his wallet out taking pictures of it or? Or did he lose it tumbling down? No matter what happened a sad story, either because it really happened or the need to make something up... What's so odd about that? He was severely assaulted and someone went through his pockets most likely and took the wallet and the camera. Nothing unusual there. When you have been bashed over the head, you most likely lose consciousness briefly as well and blood loss, shock etc. If you are posing a theory of the report being fictitious then we are likely looking at a case of Munchausen Syndrome, which is quite rare. Or insurance fraud. I very much doubt it MS. I doubt it is an insurance job either. But only the investigating police looking at all aspects of forensic evidence, and other evidence in a totally objective manner could form the most likely conclusion, not a Thai Visa couch potato typing away his/her theory based off a journalist report.

So the odd thing is that he somehow had his wallet stolen too unless it was in a bag on the floor before getting hit. Anyway, I do not doubt he lost items and that this happened to him but would think it is very strange for a Farang to be on top of the mountain, just to wait for someone and club him/her, to then only get a camera lens and wallet containing perhaps 1K baht max? Would make more sense for a poor local to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thnk I read that he rolled down an embankment, perfectly likely his fell out of his clothing,camera equipment top of embankment, alledged assailant makes off with the equipment. Victim left.

ta158 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) many mentions of people saying this never happened and it is false claim, and all complain and get upset. But when an farang gets robbed, I always see comments saying they made It up. In conclusion Thais can never rob,and Europeans either. It must be an alien.

Sydebolle Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I am sure that the CCTV recordings so wisely installed literally everywhere will reveal it all ........ unless Somchai sold cameras and installed dummies ???? The story stinks to heaven, how can a student distinguish a Caucasian from an European and, unless the attacker had a personal vendetta it might be less than likely, that the attacker was an alien. Possibly not all facts are revealed but keep the farang bashing going, excellent to separate the slime from quality tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
