I can understand the anger behind many of the comments. But, aside from age difference, we who are older must use reason instead of emotion when confronted with young alcohol fuelled people. I am Irish and was brought up in a pub in ireland and learned quite quickly how to manage emotions in this situation. I dont know ho wexperienced this bar owner was, but really 5-10 years owning a bar and you become an amateur psychologist and laern how to handle this stuff. On the cultural front few of us, myself included, undersatnd the full complexity. Phrases like "losing face" are easy to put out thee but there be mmany other dynamics. In the tourist resorts "farangs" are quite often pushing the Thai economically to one side, and they may perceive an economic "colonization" by europeans, russians, and chinese to a point that they snap.. So my only request is don't rush for a simple answer; it may be much more complex than we think. Reflect; Observe; Reflect again and then suggest what might be the cause. There are rarely one minute answers to human behavior.
