I figure she bumped into him, he said something like, "watch where you're f*cking going", and she started recording and attacking him, demanding that he wait for the police to arrest him. Likely she was convinced that the f-bomb gave her carte blanche to use whatever force necessary to subdue him and his wife.

Probably saw dollar signs the minute he swore, forgetting that her bumping into him and then attacking him afterwards would likely take away any chance of compensation for hurt feelings...

Thais are incredibly shallow, but they aren't really shallow in a nasty way. While you might experience a Western person treating someone badly because of their appearance, Thais are more likely to comment but not really care. I'm sure you will be fine.

I'm sure the prompt investigation followed by the harsh punishment of the perpetrators will soothe the victim's troubled mind...

Is this for me? That's what I was saying. The Chinese people bumped into the Brit, then attacked him when he swore at them.

Only Phuket?

It's the only way to find a bit of pavement without vendors, motorcycles or random street furniture.

Who? You? So go watch it. It happens exactly as I said. 🙄

Absolutely mad. Bump into someone, they swear at you as a result, so you attack them try to detain them. They even go as far as putting their hands on them and tearing their clothes, over words, and still think they're in the right and the police will help them. 🙄

He's not British. That's just something he made up for his latest troll persona... A lot of his posts are nonsensical and contradictory, as he just says whatever he can to aggravate people.

Sounds like one of those stories where someone has been sexually abused and confides in someone, who then starts to sexually abuse them as well.

A Thai scams a foreigner so the Thai police try to downplay it so the Thai can get away with the scam?

I don't. It's not like I'm looking down on them. It's just the way things are.

This is actually quite true. People often go on about the police like they're the ones who are letting the Thai people down, but it's fairly clear that Thais are fairly supportive of their hands off approach. Thais seem to break the rules all the time, and support weak enforcement while criticising heavy handed enforcement.

Sadly there's no limit to the level some trolls will sink to, even defending reckless drivers.

Plus actual enforcement of the road rules.

Probably turned them down.

If you enjoy the hug, is it pointless?

I understand it perfectly. You appear to not understand, and, in my opinion, appear to be showing bias against a foreigner and in favour of a Thai, since it seems like the Thai is in the wrong. As you do in your earlier comments. Hence I asked whether you would have any insult for the Thai, once you found out that he not only started it, but had friends with him, used a weapon, and called for armed backup. Otherwise, it comes across that you are raging against a foreign person simply for the fact that they are foreign.

From page two: "21 August, a 47 year old vendor who witnessed the entire event, recounted to reporters, that during the time of the incident, the traffic was heavily congested. She noticed a black, four-door pickup truck waiting in the jam when a group of teenagers on a motorcycle approached and began knocking on the pickup's window, trying to force the driver out of the vehicle. The driver of the pickup truck attempted drive away and flee, but one of the teenagers got off the motorcycle, armed with a metal rod, and opened the truck's door. The teenager then stabbed the driver, who was a foreigner, leading to a struggle as the driver fought back in self-defense. The event, captured on video, left the vendor frightened. She immediately called for nearby residents to intervene and quickly contacted the police." Maybe the Thai guy wanted to attack the foreigner with a weapon, so he did.

Sounds it was the Thais that started it. Any insults for them?

They saw their chance and took it. Can't really fault them for it. 🤷‍♂️

Nice that she did that for a foreigner.

He won the fight. It was the cowardly stabbing that he wasn't expecting.

"I believed my life was in danger."
