You need to focus on his left arm. You just missed it. It's at the very beginning of the video. You can clearly see his left arm pushing her to the floor. Look at the motion the arm makes. An obvious and forceful push. Yep.. thats what I'm looking at... He's got his arms coving his head. She's trying to wrench his left arm from his head. He either slips, or just lets his left arm go, and backwards she calls, because she's off balance and using all her weight to pull his arm... It only 'looks like a push' (to some) because of his arm movement, but thats just because he's let his arm go free rather than resisting her.... His arm is only lowered because she managed to wrench it free from his head, but in doing so lost her purchase of his arm and her balance. His other had remains on his head - I'm guessing if he wanted to push her, he might have done so with both hands. He was being very defensive, she slipped...

this is where you have it upside down… She falls because she’s pulling so hard on his arm…. When his arm slip away from his body, she loses balance & grip & falls…. That’s it… There is no push at all..

You keep saying he pushed her - there was no ‘push’ at all… She was grabbing his arming, trying to wrench it from his head, she was using her body weight & leaning back… … when his hand slipped off his head, she lost her grip & fell back… Its a simple slip… but because his hand moved away as she was was dragging on it & she fell backward some are incorrectly seeing that as a push…. perhaps because they don’t want to see it any other way than ‘bad farang’…. You are clearly seeing the push because that’s what you want you see… look where her feet are positioned when she’s dragging on his arms… one slip & she on her bum - that’s it…. Then she was slapping him around a lot… The Swede has a good case to file assault charges & against both the woman & the other men involved in the group attack. I still don’t see any trigger point from him & visuals show total non-aggression to the point of total submission. No idea what he may have said - it might have been something quite nasty to trigger her… or something mild & shes just an unhinged nutter.

Yes... the 'American Indian' above kind of gave that away.... ... though you didn't know 'how'... thus: my comment explains 'how' you likely or inadvertently gained access... You'll need to know 'how' when you try and reconnect as the connection between your phone and the dash-cam is not a permanent thing and you may need to go through the 'reconnection process' next time you want to connect.... Particularly if you have AppleCarPlay or reset connections on your phone etc.

This is the correct answer... A lot of Dash-Cam's (both of mine) - you connect to the CAM itself via Wifi-Connection... (which is not an internet connection - but just a connection over Wifi to the Dash-cam - thats it)... ... The phone recognises that there is 'no internet' from the Dash-Cam - because its not a Wifi-Router its just a dash-cam - nevertheless the connection between phone (app) and Cam is established and the App can the access the dashcams features. This type set up is fairly universal... Addtionally - IF you have AppleCarPlay (GooglePlay) connected to your car etc that connection will prevent you from connecting to the Dash-Cam Wifi-Connection, thus you may need to 'disconnect' the phone from the AppleCarPlay (GooglePlay)...

Very true... I saw something similar unfold... two guys out... one guy, got his bill, paid by QR code and left. The other guy went to leave 10mins or so later, called his bill and questioned the amount.. the bar tried to charge him for both him and his mate. A woman in the bar was going nuts at the guy... But he had the QR proof that his mate had paid. He was chilled, went to the casher to sort it... Meanwhile the woman was still shooting off her mouth... The guy paid his part of the bill and left... Maybe the woman made a genuine mistake and thought the other guy didn't pay - but she was extremely quick to boil over, shout and start throwing insults.... just part of the scenery and the guy didn't react... But it shows how quickly things can boil over when someone is mentally unstable.

I know you 'want' to see it that way, but are you really so sure he 'pushed her to the floor' ???... I doesn't look that way at all.. She slipped backwards. She was leaning back with her weight and grabbing his arms trying to pull them away from his head.. .. As she leaned back grabbing his arm, his hand slipped off his head (this is why you think he pushed, her, but he just released her grip because his hand slipped... ) ... She fell back onto the floor - she wasn't pushed, she lost her grip on his arm and fell... thats it... no violence from the guy. There is no indication that the Swede wanting anything else other than to get away... ... "why you said that to me?.." - is something the aggressive Thai woman said - she was was 100% the aggressor, no aggression from the Swede whatsoever - total submission throughout... But... What did he say ???... something clearly sent her way over the edge... Nevertheless, this man showed no indications of being aggressive to the woman, no reason for the Thai men to jump in at all.

I watched this yesterday - and was incredulous at how such an accident is possible... ... Such total lack of self preservation is so often displayed here by motorcyclists in Thailand.

The most surprising part of this story !!! Assumption: No driver training - using left foot to brake, right foot to accelerate... ended up wrong foot on wrong pedal ? ... I just don't see sow much a mistake is otherwise possible, but we read of such issues a lot here, usually with a car ending up nose down off a multistory car-park !

With respect, please expand on these powerful people to whom he was a danger Those who knew what he was up to, were either accomplices or took a 'piece of the pie' to stay quiet and now want plausible deniably (witness removal) - once they had this man cornered, he was going to sing like a canary and everyone knew it (or at least thats was 'people' would have been worried about). Graft as such a level simply does not exist in a vacuum without accomplices and other 'powerful' people in the mix. If you wish for 'names' as purely a point scoring exercise on a forum you are showing both a degree of naivety and misunderstanding of how things operate, perhaps deliberately so.... This was a very 'Epstein-esque' ending to this mans life... highly suspicious don't you think ?

These thugs, but also a lot of Thai's are no more Buddhist than I and many like me are Christian... The assumption that 'all Thai's' follow their religion and its philosophical elements is flawed... Thai's are just 'people' like any of us... some believing in their faith, others not..

The types of thugs who 'go in and attack' like this are very far removed from any Buddhist ideology... The juxtaposition between Buddhism and some of the behavior we see in Thailand is extreme - such characters are not the the types to be practicing any form of Buddhism or have any such points of views on life - they are just thugs.

I know what you mean about the 'trigger finger' response of Thai's... and in some areas of Thailand (i.e. area's of Pattaya entertainment district and Patong), there is very little in the way of 'triggering' before a very quick and potentially lethal response... .... but realistically, no one is going to get any sympathy for walking up to a group of motorcycle taxi riders and giving them the middle finger - but your point is valid... most would want to de-escalate... here, especially when its a group situations can go from zero degrees to boiling over in moments. But... I don't think this guy was completely innocent, he was surely complicity somehow in his beating - the guy nearby, even though they are mindless thugs, still require a trigger... I'd like to see a build up... what happened before, we only ever see the end results, the underlying cause is often missing in these stories.... this was surely more than 'just a verbal argument' between a guy and a girl. Thats not to justify the thugs behavior - their mob attack was the behavior of true Scum - potentially life threatening and they need to be brought to account... .. The way 'one goes in' and they all go in and pile on is verminous...

Sure thing champ.... You've attempted the play the morality card with your escalation and the 'how dare you mention my wife' approach when you brought her into the conversation in the first place with your 'faux-outrage'... Don't get too upset about it - she's smart enough to wear a helmet with a face shield so good on her.

I've watched the video over a few times... early on, it appears that it 'might be' the bicyclist that swerved across lanes... Very difficult to see with the poor cam quality and low frame rate... but something appears to cut across the path - unless its just a video artifact.. (at the 4 second mark in the video). IF the bike swerved - the pickup driver had no chance to avoid him really. IF the bike was positioned in that lane, it really shouldn't have been - but the pickup driver should have seen him. Driving off was a scummy think to do - its high time we see people charged for fleeing an accident.
