Spot on and not at all a generalization, but rather a fact for a huge portion of the Thai male society. Insecure, impulsive brutal brats with HUGE egos and ultra-fragile egos.
To intervene with a drunk Thai is putting your well being (and your life) in grave danger. And not just for that moment. Thais are unreasonable even when sober. They are also vengeful and have LONG memories and the guys loathe us. Let's assume you had been successful kicking his ass and stopping him. You would then be faced with looking over your shoulder for your remaining days, months and years in Thailand. It's simply not worth it.
Quite ironic, but will not be televised. Sux...was looking forward to Faux news spinsters actually being expected to tell the truth. They'll prob self-destruct❗
If they "accommodate" 1
???????? religion/superstition...then they must accommodate all. See the problem? NOT an option. It's ridiculous. Show up for your job or GTFO and find another. As @KhunLAsaid, Chick-fil-A...unless gay, then NO WAY.
FYI...
A lovely Songkran painting of topless nubile women was formally displayed on Thailand's Ministry of Culture website years back. The artist is Sompop Budtarad and the painting..."Nang Songkran". It was hastily taken down in 2011 after the typical hypocrisy of their ways were exposed online. Links below to see the painting and further info.

OK, possibly...but this is not a disagreement. It's an optimistic prognostication. While I can't predict the future...I can observe the whackjob present with reference and comparison to the past. I hope you're correct, but not banking on it.
In Jomtien, I submit mine online early the day before it's due and always get confirmation back same day...usually within 3 hours. Am always prepared to do a walk-in if something goes awry. It's all of a 5 minute walk away. ????
These Thai punks & thugs have zero to lose, while most foreigners have everything to lose and nothing to gain by getting involved.
⚠️WARNING⚠️: Steer clear of all Thai males of all ages at all times. No good deed goes unpunished rings especially true here in Thailand.
