The Buddy Beer Bar has been part of the KSR scene for over 25 years. A well oiled operation providing backpackers with their needs. I've never heard of trouble there before. Trying to go into a bar an spilling beer deserves a beating with a metal bar, got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSF Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 What so many foreign tourists do not understand is most of these Thai males are savages. If you go for a holiday to New Guinea and come across a dude with a hat made from peacock feathers and a bone in his nose and he's carrying a spear you ain't going to mix it up with this dude because you identify him as a savage and know that he won't think twice about killing you. But tourists come to Thailand and see Thai males wearing trousers and shirts and using smart phones and driving cars and naturally think they must be civilized, so a disagreement happens, the tourist thinks the Thai will react like a civilized person, instead to his dismay they Thai turns out to be a savage trying to kill him over some pissy thing that isn't worth thinking about in a civilized society.

The style is not good, but perhaps it is important to give some consideration to history, for it is not so long ago that a British boxing match resulted in no injures that a handkerchief could remedy, whereas it is not so long ago that a Thai boxing match was to the death, we really are coming from opposing takes on a fight and have somehow met in the middle.

Lowlifes wherever they are from. Kick them out... Thug/Bouncers got what they deserved too, you don't kick people in the head when they are down.

Laughing Gravy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I will say it again, though some people will mot like the truth. The land of pay your way out of trouble. For a country that has a deep religious sense that totally goes against paying people off, I find it to be the ultimate hypocrisy. 10,000 Baht is an insult. Try 100,000 baht and that might be a deterrent. Obviously this is a PR exercise to ensure no bad publicity affects Thailand, which seems to be a weekly occurrence. Sadly.

Ah, you mean Liverpool fans back in the late 70s and 80s. Yes they were sick, got all the English teams kicked out of European Competitions for 4 years while they themselves only got one extra year's ban.

There is nothing they could have done that should have resulted in violence from the bouncers AND then result in a 10,000 "we're sorry" payment. When I lived in Pattaya I once saw a bouncer hit an Indian in the head with a stick after the Indians were refused entry to a club and then tried to reason with the bouncer at the door. Instead of a conversation, he grabbed a stick (club) and smashed him in the head. Point is, Thais are not known for their reasoning or critical thinking skills. They either ignore you or try to kill you, one or the other. Those not so far along on the evolutionary scale tend to turn to violence immediately. I've seen it more than once with my own eyes.

A stranger, grabs a broom or something on a pole and gets in on the action, then tilts his hat to cover his face as he walked past the camera. Full of hate, just wanted to get in a few cheap shots on someone already down and unable to fight back. Cowards, every one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what was being referenced by the 'sickness' - an economic malaise. I don't remember this phrase being coined specifically with reference to Britain's having many football hooligans (which, unfortunately, it did have - to Britain's shame). But I may be wrong ...

sahibji Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 7 hours ago, Pimay1 said: So it was perfectly ok for the tourists to do this. Not. First they broke the rules of the bar which are reasonable and second acting like spoiled thugs in the toilets. They shouldn't have got one Baht and the bouncers shouldn't have been fired. Pinmay1 there are always some annoying and difficult customers. the bouncers' job is to contain or restrain them and report the matter to the police ( tourist police in the first instance). no law gives them the right to brutally beat up guests like that. the bouncers deserve more punitive sentence for taking the law in their own hands - having become prosecutors, jury and judge and executioners.

gemguy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Well now....Assuming what is written as the facts are true, then it was all just a misunderstanding that resulted in a 20 second scuffle and the British guys took more of a beating than they could manage to give back...which is often the case when very drunk people get into a fight and find out what the word impaired means during a fight. Alcohol...there was copious amounts of Alcohol involved ......... What more needs to be said. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
