Let's see if I can break this down into simple enough terms.

 

I neither deny nor try to justify overcharging.

 

I also cannot deny or try to defend the multitudes of drunks who argue about their bills, correct or not. 

 

I certainly would not be surprised by an after-the-fact story by anyone so shamed to generate a story worded in such a way as to alleviate some of the shame.

 

In short, I do not believe his story; but I do not condone the assault he suffered--I just find it a little amusing. 

This comment is extremely stupid. Sorry Sir!

From the first time this was reported,Some TV members without checking the facts,quickly found the Farang couple guilty. Now that we have the other side of the story,backed up by witnesses,CCTV. and unbelievable the Thai police. These same apologist for this bar girl have amazingly gone very quite. Do they not realise that everyone sometimes make mistakes, and there's no shame in admitting it. So where are the apologises?

I,m afraid nontabury, you, I, and others are wasting our breath on the dimwit bargirl backers. Thank you for your kind support

Stop believe the bullshit that he is spreading that he is innocent. This would never have happened if he did not start arguing about the bill. What should have done was to say in a decent way that something was wrong with the bill and speak to the manager to sort things out. He got what he were looking for and now thinks people must feel sorry for his sake now.? Pay Caesar what belongs to him and stop crying. He made an arshole out of himself.!!

You are somebody that will never believe the truth even if it hit you in the face. I was NOT arguing with the Woman, my wife was over the prices on the tab. We had 4 drinks. We only popped in for one round whilst waiting for our friends finished their drinks in the go go bar opposite. The Wife checked the tab immediately as the bar bint looked a bit iffy. On it she charged us 350 baht each for three vodkas and 90 baht for a beer. She also charged 70 baht for a tonic and brought a full sugar coke not diet. The wife sent her back to get the right coke and she put the top on the unwanted one and placed back in the fridge. She said that one of the vodkas was a double but all were the same measures. The wife got her to see that she knew we were getting ripped off and settled on a more reasonable 650 baht..  still too much but hey let's get out of here. The bar Woman who was the owner then produced a further pot not from our table for another beer that she said my brother in law had had but he still had half of his first in his hand? We tried to leave leaving our un consumed drinks on the table and it was then I said she was a robber and the Wife also mentioned the tourist Police. That's when she went mental and for the first minute I was held in a headlock by a Thai geezer and pinned in my chair while she rained her cheap heavy shoe in my face. He released me when she got a bullseye on my conk and blood came. Now I hope this is detailed enough for the dim posters but I,m not holding my breath.

You can be streetwise and still be a victim. He didn't claim he was infallible to being ripped off, only that he knew the score. He states that he and his wife and two other relatives went into the bar. A little maths lesson for you: that's four people that equals four drinks. The bill was the same padded bill for four drinks, with an additional one thrown in later, that he was still expected to pay for, which if you've read his comments properly he agreed to pay for, but not the additional drink. The tipping point was the extra drink that this lady added to his already extortionate bill. It's immaterial exactly when he discovered the exorbitant pricing, the outcome was still the same one. Four drinks for four people = padded bill.

 

Clearly the reason why he's mentioned being streetwise is to offset the lies that have been made against his name that claimed he could get cheaper at a 7-11 store and set the record straight that he's no greenhorn on a short vacation. The violent barlady also needs to be sued for deformation of character.

There is a God. Thank you too. Xxxxxx

You gotta be trolling, right?

 

from the OP.... when my wife suggested involving the tourist police, I was grabbed from behind and assaulted by the barbatcrazybitch.... (not a direct quote)

 

he didnt make a decision to be assaulted... he just was assaulted, and the assaulter is being charged for assault

 

mary and partner, I sincerely hope the aftermath of this incident, physically, emotionally and on your "extended" family, passes quickly... you are standing head and shoulders above the crassness of a lot of nasty, vitriolic and hateful posters, and I commend you for that... well done, and thanks for coming forward.

Thanks a Million. Got to admit, I've never read such gobbledegook comments on here ever. Then again, I never normally have much to do with blogs, prefare going to the beach, having dinner, nice cocktail somewhere. Then off home to my hobby of sticking pins in Spiders. Each and everyone to their own though. Best regards kind Sir. David Lodge

I didn't forget anything.... and the origional story came from the mouth of the woman being charged with a crime... it was her story

 

her story was refuted on that thread, by the woman in white ( meryl here) and myfriendu.... and countless others simply refused to believe the bar girls story, or condone her actions

 

so you have the choice of believing first hand stories by two of the victims, plus a forum poster, who witnessed the assault... or the story of the bargirl who savagely assaulted a 64 year old bloke... like I say... your choice, ive made mine

 

But, for you to consider....the article says they decided to pay their bill, which appeared excessive.... and it is ( but not worth arguing about)

 

the article says that they were then then presented with another bill, which was fake... totally fake... Bigly fake... which is when the fracas started (assumedly... only assumedly, this was presented after paying the origional bill)

 

anyway... to appease you... 350 for a G and T (99 baht at my local) 

3 X 100 baht for a beer (70 baht at my local)

grand total 650 baht (309 baht at my local)

 

lets review the OP.... "a little over 600 baht".... job done... bill accepted... gouged... but you get that and it was accepted.

 

then came a subsequent bill, which was disputed , as is the clients right, but which resulted in the attack, for which the bargirl is being prosecuted.

 

seems, like me, the police believe the victims.

You explain well but still there will be airheads on here that will not get it. Thanks for trying though

I find your post incomprehensible, he paid the first bill which he thought to high, and is then presented with a second bill. She escalated the situation by attacking him!!! How many times had she pulled this trick in the past. Are you seriously suggesting tourist's should pay any bill presented to them without question.????

Are people really so unintelligent on here? Thank you for this comment Sir.

No I'm suggesting on the night of the incident he explained clearly to the police what had happened with the bill and hence this was the reason the bar girl had the menu out explaining it to the police.

 

It obviously wasn't a very believable story and hence she spent the night in jail.

Finally..hooray

Well said Sir

You have to remember, this is the story they tell now. Is it true? To argue over a B600 bill for four drinks is pretty bad, especially if the one drink was B350; then they claim another B90 for a beer. It simply does not compute.

 

And, from the video I saw, no Thai man was holding him; the bar maid was kicking his butt

That's because who ever filmed it started a few minutes later numptie

Well Mr Lodge I think you handled the situation better than I ever could. Best to you and I hope you recover from your injury as quick as possible. 

Thank you Sir for your kind wishes.

sure beer is cheaper in the convenience stores and no one is forcing people to go to bars for a beer. it is their choice and if so you must pay the bar prices.

For Gods sake, stop believing the 7/11 quip. It was never mentioned. She robbed us, we paid the extortunate bill, she then produced a further bill for an imaginary beer. We refused to pay anymore money for something we had not consumed, tried to leave and she went ballistic with said shoe

For all those posters who just read the last 3 or4 pages of this thread who thought they needed to give a valuable comment on their opinion!

Maryell is the lady who was also attacked by the cashier and gave here side of the incident.

All those not too sharp knives in Mom's kitchen drawer most probably refuse to acknowledge her side of the story.

Martell, you get a first hand experience of the quality of quite a few TV members.

Thank you for being one of the few intelligent People to post on here. The word 7/11 was never mentioned by me, the girl said that as her defence with the Police.

We paid her extortionate bill and tried to leave but she then produced a further check bin not on our table for an imaginary second beer consumed by my Sisters partner while he still had his one and only beer in his hand. When we refused to pay any more and tried to leave she went ballistic hitting me with said shoe!
