A lot of posts here blaming the victim. The Thais are the ones conducting affairs that are In no way Ethical. There should be a recourse through the Police from these bar tramp scammers, but the police do nothing and this often results in frustration and anger. It's actually lucky it was a foreigner (only a few items knocked over) because if it was a Thai scammed the result would likely end in gun violence and bloodshed which we have all become accustomed to. Time the police step up and start investigating this fraud. Otherwise this will continue with ever increasing and dire consequences
