You are guilty! But did you hear about paper bags and pastries...

Not really...

And then, in your and my home country, there are laws, which are enforced by the police. In our home countries the police are not regularly paid by all those bars to look the other way. And the bad guys are punished in front of a judge, after they are arrested by the police. Yes, our home countries are different. I came to Thailand before videos on the internet. I don't think I would not have visited Thailand if I would have seen that misbehaving aholes are beaten up. Living in Thailand for decades, I don't be afraid to go anywhere into a nightlife area, because I know the guards will make sure there is no trouble. And because I pay my bills and don't upset the girls, I don't fear any problems with the guards. The Thai punishment system has one big advantage. Punishment is done within minutes. Problem solved.

"Some Like it Hot" Yes, but the chicken with cashew nuts (at least that is what I think it is) in the picture is not hot. Those chilies are harmless.

What a strange behavior. She dropped it...

It seems the authorities somehow didn't notice that some loan shark is operating at least for 12 years. How did that happen? Are they all blind? Or is it possible that somehow, they deliberately didn't notice what happened for many years? In other words: All these illegal loan sharks would not exist if they wouldn't have the blessing of the local influential people. Or of course the influential people are at the same time the loan sharks. TiT.

Another option is that after you pay you go right away to the tourist police. I read about that about Patpong many years ago. It seems the tourist police does help tourist in such situations - or at least they did some time ago.

Really? Let's say you punch me, and I fall down and hit my head on a stone, and I need hospital treatment. Are you guilty and should the police arrest you? Would it matter if I told your gf that she is an ugly slut? And I told you that you are a little pu&$y? Personally, I think if I would do that then you would have a good reason to punch me. What do you think? Sorry, the above is not personal, just a clear example.

Thanks for the reply. I should have written that I am not aware of any farang being attacked by the guards for no reason. I try not to get involved in what Thai people do with each other. They have some "rules" which I just don't understand. I.e. a long time ago the sister of my gf borrowed money from someone in a bar. And then the sister didn't go back to that bar. My gf was approached to pay what the sister should have paid. And my gf settled the bill. Was that fair? I don't think so. But I gave up finding logic in Thai behavior.

If I remember the same incident with the couple and their son, I think I remember they started the problem. But obviously that was one of those videos which starts with the Thai guys punching and not the minute or two before that. There is a lot of creative editing going on. No, it couldn't easily happen to me. I pay my bills, I make sure the girls get their drinks and tips, and at least some of the owners, managers and guards know me. No problem.

I just have to look at the news to see how f$*& up they are over there. If Russia or China decided 20 years ago to destroy the USA from within inside, they couldn't have done a better job.

So, do you think it is acceptable when the USA invades other countries and overthrows their governments? Or do you believe they only do it to bring freedom and democracy?

Are you by any chance one of those Americans?

I have to admit I prefer three Thai guys beating up one guy for a good reason compared to one bad guy beating up someone else for no good reason.

The irony...

You could have written "many" instead of 100%. 100% = all.

Are the hells angles the good guys now? Crazy!

And that will keep some bad guys out of Thailand because they know there are consequences for their bad behavior.

I live here since decades, and I used to often in the night life streets. I saw a couple of fights, and I heard about many more. I never heard that anybody was harmed by the guards for no reason. If people molest the girls or don't pay their bills there are consequences, often severe consequences and it happens fast. And I am sure that is one of the reasons why most visitors behave and pay their bills. Great. Personally, I am happy that all in all we, the good guys, can visit bars and those streets without meeting the bad guys.

And now all those pictures of all those half naked women will go around the word. I am sure soon the officials with complain that this ruins the image of Thailand and the beautiful family beach resort Pattaya.

Elimination of the competition.

555 Obviously he would announce in public if he would (want to) retaliate. Or maybe not. He should just shut his big mouth and play with his grandchildren.

It seems you don't know many of those 100%. Or you don't know the meaning of 100%. Unfortunately, there are still many Thais out there who "think" he is the hero.

Advice how to be corrupt like him and be a criminal like him? Or advice how to get out of jail? He divided Thailand like nobody before him. Maybe that was the best he could. Others can do a lot better and shouldn't listen to the criminal.

I didn't read every post in this thread. Did anybody die? Source?
