British Resident suffers broken arm over 40 baht parking fee in Central Pattaya

[rolfmajestic]

Why not just pay the 40 Bath?

[Number 3]

Welcome to thai prison Mr parking attendant ....

Firstly, obviously Burmese are the perps.

Secondly the blokes arm is broken and police stand there whilst the guy is screaming in agony.

Priceless shot ! What does it take to get help in this country ?

there are opportunists around every corner trying to take advantage of collecting a parking fee on public roads. This is also very common in sukhumvit - Bangkok, especially in areas were there are bars and clubs. In Sukhumvit area, they are usually around Thonglor and Ekamai, even most Thais pay up.

If a thai asks for money, always give it up or this will happen to you. About $1. US and you could actually get killed. This confrontation happened to me also on Soi 8 while trying to buy a Subway sandwich. The guy demanded B20 for a motorbike. Pattaya is getting real vicious nowadays.

Serves him right. He parked, he pays, end of story.

You sir are a muppet. When you're this guys age and someone spanks you with a weapon then maybe you will think differently. There is and never will be justification for violence and especially no for a stupidly small amount.

Its Brits like him that give other tourists a bad name. No wonder the Thais are pissed off with foreigners in their country. 40 baht to a parking attendant is a meal for him.

All this strong arm and bullying act wouldn't have happened if they knew there will be

consequences to face and pay, as such, right now, there are almost none..

they simply look around them and see the mayhem that reign supreme in Pattaya

and every one is some kind of a mafia person doing what ever they pleased....

You are exactly right.

The wild wild west is PATTAYA today. The only difference is THEY have weapons and WE don't. Its never a fair fight here.

Everyone is a Mafia Teflon Don.

Welcome to thai prison Mr parking attendant ....

500 Baht fine more like it

[realenglish1]

Nice story but you left out that he was arrested which is key to this story and whether he was actually a parking attendant working for the company or a beggar Poor reporting

At the end of the day, it comes down to this...

if you want to draw the line for 40 THB, be a bad ass and square off with someone at 2;30 AM ... the general idea is one of you is supposed to leave in a lot worse shape than when it started.

I looked at the picture of this "chap" and the one thought that did not come to mind was "bad ass."

In the words of Clint Eastwood, "A man has got to know his limitations..."

Street fight, Brit loses, cries like a baby ... which only makes him less "bad ass"

Move on folks ... nothing to see here.

So, are you sure the parking guy is not Burmese? Even Big C hires out

[Slotman]

Nowt down for violence against a 70 year old, no matter where they're from.

But we know these things happen in crazy town, so why not just swallow your pride & pay the $1?

Another case of 'Brit bashing?' Not necessary old boy. (I am from USA, BTW)

Thais in general are so quick to Violence-perhaps they are eating too much meat which is against the teachings of Buddha in any case-remember my Thai friends-AHIMSA-non-violence.It looks as if the monks are not doing their job,

Would you squeeze his arm real hard while I take his picture...we love to see farangs in pain...will make for good discussion among the Thais...

[Gandtee]

The attendant should have clarified the fee before he parked so he had the option of paying or parking else where, plus who pays for parking at 2.30 am when dashing into shop for 6 pack and condoms.

6 pack of condoms? At seventy? If he was going use them he would have had the strength to fill this young thug in.

[brewsterbudgen]

how convienent that a piece of wood was nearby.and look at the smirk on the coppers face as he squeezes his arm.

You've obviously never been to Thailand meatboy, or you would know that the man is a rescue (first aid supplier) officer.

Know your uniforms before you make stupid comments next time.......

Where would Thai Visa be without stupid comments!!

[Ve37]

I believe the old fart should have just paid the 40 baht. Talk about cheap Charlie. He should have never illegally parked or gotten out of his car. Not smart to challenge a younger man.

I'd imagine, from the Parking Attendant's POV, if you own a car in Thailand, you can afford a 40 baht parking fee where parking is no easy to come by.

I wouldn't dare try this in the US,...steal a parking spot for a few minutes while going into a downtown grocery. I'd get tasered, thrown in jail, and have my car impounded.
