My GF knows many of them.
I've been listening to stories of the leadup to this for the last 4 days. 2 Thai LBs in particular have been showing up at soi 11, taunting and harassing the Filipinas, for several days in a row. 4 Filipinas went down to soi 4 to demand the <deleted>e stop. Words were exchanged and a group of Thais followed them back to soi 11, where they continued the verbal altercation. The action started when one of the Thais slapped one of the Filipinas, causing a minor ruckus, hair-pulling, name-calling etc. This was videoed bvy a Thai and posted online, calling for reinforcements. The Thais then gathered en mass and started assaulting the Filipinas as they emerged from Cit In Hotel eventually entering the hotel and dragging any Filipinas they saw out into the streets to be beaten. Police arrived and could not even escort the Filipinas to the police station safely.
