That's another thing about arranged marriages etc. There is getting alot less pressure to mary young as the generations go. My mates kids go University and afterwards get various jobs and share flats or houses with their friends, Never heard of before especially their grandparents generation.

I can only speak from my friends there parents and grandparents were arranged but my mates and their kids had met and married from their own social group who I used to frequent with now and then.

I agree but guys I know are 2nd or 3rd generation indians who live in London. They all have been here with their families. The TAT target are the well off indians who will fly in to one of the islands get the whole wedding package.

One of my Indian mates I grew up with in London family are in the garment trade. Seriously minted. His daughter also married into money and wedding reception was at the Dorchester Hotel in London. The pattaya guy who got into a fight with the security guards are the only Indian people alot on here see. So base their opinions on that. Those indians aren't the target of TAT.

I can confirm this. Only thing I'm upset about it shows how old I'm getting when it's my mates kids getting married. Agree they are huge events.

Oi you steven100 me and you are going to fall out. could easy have been an Australian from Sydney lol. had a few light ales with enough of your countryman over the years in pattaya who enjoyed the bright lights of pattaya and all of its delights. But it does make me smile to think of old Derrick from dagenham that gets off the flight all he is thinking about is having that first beer in pattaya with the girls and suddenly he's mobbed by TAT and news crews.

I know bloody fools. " I know what lads put your flip flops on we going back to the club to confront the security guys again" I know it was Indians but it not about that you don't do that. I imagine if it happened to me and I'm banging on my mates hotel door they would of said yes ok we will catch you up. Make the report let the police sort it out .

Thanks mate I do it sometimes not reading the article. I said some thing on another topic which I shouldn't of done and held my hands up and said sorry I was out of line. But we all agree that cowards like this attacker has no place here. I not here full time yet because I not retired but my girlfriend lives in Bangkok and can imagine if she witnessed something like this in the gym would really mess her up. I don't give a monkeys who he is and that the coward lives full time in pattaya deport his ass out. Think yourself lucky fat boy that you can pay money and walk away and not do any jail time . I apologise about ranting. alot of things I not get worked up about but it happened to someone I know in a gym In London in the 80s and the excellent surgeons at Royal London saved his life.

Clear out the bowels too then you good to go

Had a girl friend who was a nurse who used to do this when she was a student going to the petrol station to buy whatever and carried on doing it years later. She was cute so I let her off

That is one handsome Gorilla. I agree with everything you said. I seen it many times walking street over the years. Tourists getting in to it with the door staff on bars. It always escalates out of control. Not digging out any nationality in particular. You on bloody holiday get your "girlfriend " and go back to your hotel and party the tourist police are there speak to them if you got a complaint.

Going back with a possey of mates could of gone side ways really quick with his mates being assaulted by not just the clubs security but other guards from other bars joining in. Sounds to me the club manager/owner de escalated the situation.

I agree with you he will more than likely accept the money. And go home. Lets see what happens. Yes I agree the coward should do jail time.

Going to be interesting guys.

Are you really bringing this up as a thread. Do you know anything about music. You need to get out and enjoy a nice walk on the beach or go for a beer with a bit of grub. I know you do start a lot of threads about subjects and It is funny when people start to bite and get upset. But as Khun la Said they don't both sound the same withers and Ray Davies both talented singers. Don't start waffling on about the sun and soul brothers nonsense. And if you mention Davies and Jagger you got to mention a little feller from Manor Park East London Mr Steve Marriot of the small faces. Humble pie etc he had terrifick voice anything as good as Jagger and Davies. Who knows how far small faces would of gone if they weren't managed by Sharon Osbourns thieving dad. My old mum bless her went to school with Marriot and was a groupie. ???? I'm not having a dig at you but leave out the waffle about sunlight and stupid charts. And soul brothers in the sun. I know you write a lot of things I find interesting but leave out the white soul brothers stuff. Enjoy the music chill out.

I not going to have a go at you because I like alot of stuff you write especially thai language and other interesting things about living here etc But you are wrong to think he probably deserved it. The geezer was attacked and could of been alot worse for this guy even with what he ended up with to his eye And yes you can be banged up for one hit. The guy who did it is a bloody coward and I seen fellers like this in the gyms when I grew up. They don't last long walking the streets either knicked and banged up or he gets what he deserved by someone who isn't lying down on a bench doing some sets. I not having a go at you Neeranam and I know you did realise that you jumped the gun a bit with out reading the whole story. But I seen it happen and what the damage it can do to people. Sorry again mate

We was bloody idiots mate at that age. Never smoked in later life. It was a joke about knifing. (A bad one at that and i apologise) And the krays weren't a problem to us at 11 in the 70s. Im talking about canning town . Limehouse etc. But I take your point. I work at a lot of schools with local boxing club to get kids off the streets into to the clubs organise football matches get some of the lads onto the pads boxing. My son teaches jujitsu for the kids. I was an idiot to say about the knifing. If you knew Me I'm last person that thinks alot of the gang crime can be stopped. Off topic I know so I apologise mate.

Agency workers yes.

We used to play chew the butt. We had to share a cigarette and not let the Ash drop who ever had the cigarette last and the Ash dropped off they had to eat the butt. Great memories of being 11 years old in East London. Now they go around knifing each other.

Still goes on now .

He is a proper buffoon

A specialist ICE border unit who are probably more highly trained unit than anything Texas Police have were there to help and were stopped by local Police from entering. They did eventually with a master key from the school principal.

Sounds a fun festival ????

They were too busy arresting and tasering parents. Apparently ulvade haw a 9 man SWAT Team,where were they? Watching the police press conferences was was a joke. Squirming and lying
