Yes, there are some really nasty Thais online. You should see the anti-Cambodia stuff, it's very unpleasant. It's no great secret that a lot of Thais don't actually like foreigners very much. There are no shortage of incidents where Thais attack foreigners who are quarrelling with other Thais, even where the Thais were in the wrong. Sadly, a lot of foreigners seem to be completely unaware of this. (Or perhaps they purposefully block it out.)

It seems that you don't understand the phrase. If you use "old White man" as an insult, it suggests that these things, alone or in combination, are negative. That's how insults work. So, what's wrong with being a White man, old or otherwise?

Is "she" your wife or the woman your wife was talking to?

What effect does that have on how right I am and how wrong you are???

You actually need me to show you a video of someone defusing a drunk person? You've never seen it before?

I think the problem is that he was goading the whole crowd, so basically multiple Thai males felt like he had kind of put them down. This meant that they all felt that they needed to each attack him in order to make themselves feel better. It was all about fragile egos, since he was basically no threat to anyone at that point. It's sad that people cannot rise above these childish football hooligan like behaviours. And pretty sad that people are now celebrating it also.

Yes. It is online, isn't it? And Google is our friend, isn't it? Here it is: "But the woman at the centre of the altercation has reportedly told police the whole situation was just a 'misunderstanding'. A source close to the investigation told ThaiVisa the woman involved, waitress Rung-Arun Sangsuwan, had told police she and Mr Robb were 'just joking' and she did not feel under threat." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5392839/Fatal-Pattaya-bar-fight-started-misunderstanding.html See how you're wrong and I'm right? Isn't that cool? Especially after you not only made an incorrect claim, but then went on to accuse me of being the misinformed one.

I don't see much talking going on. So wait for them to turn up! 🙄 Simple, just get assistance from another venue, or not bash the guy before the police get there. It really is very simple. You're trying to make it difficult so that you can justify the guy being attacked. It makes you happy, because of something inside you. Just look how much effort you're going to.

You have evidence that your account of the incident is true?

1, Talk. 2, Call the police. 3, Restrain in superior numbers. It's very simple. There's no need to batter the guy. You just want that because of something inside you.

What's wrong with being a White man?

Unfortunately, a lot of foreigners seem to feel this way. They would probably like to see more foreigners being attacked and injured. They seem to really have a problem with other foreigners. What's funny about it, is how unlike Thais they behave, whilst claiming that Thais and Thailand are the best!

Agreed. Several years ago an Australian manhandled a girl on the 6 by lifting her up by the throat. American guy didn’t appreciate it and got into a fight with the Aussie. Aussie fell and hit his head and went home in a body bag. Wasn't that where the girl had actually asked him to do it and the American guy basically killed him for nothing? That doesn't seem like a good example to bring up.

No. It's tit for tat. That's why you didn't see any of this in his first term.

No. Security should defuse. That is their job. Not to batter the guy. Obviously the drunken aggressive person isn't going to defuse. Defuse what? He was the one being aggressive! 🙄

It's more about the fact that there is a lot of corruption in America (probably in most governments around the world) but it gets ignored because everyone is doing it. So politician A doesn't highlight the corruption of politician B because politician A is up to the same things. What happened with Trump is that people used "lawfare" against him and he ended up being in court for things that most politicians do. Now he is turning the tables and exposing a lot of corruption. Note that Trump didn't do this the first time he was in office, even though he obviously could have done.

I think this is a lot of people's experience. If the internet didn't tell them, they would have no idea that they were so unhappy.

Quite an odd situation. He actually didn't seem to realise the danger he was in, even after squaring up to men approaching him. Like through all that, where you can see multiple men wanting to fight him, he didn't actually think that they would fight him.

Yeah, but why do that? That seems to be something that would just make him worse. Give him an audience, and he's going to act up for them. Ignore him and tell him to go away, and it's more likely to be diffused. Or call the police. It also made Thais more aggravated and gave them a chance to gang up and attack. They need to learn how to diffuse things or end them quickly and safely. There must be a step between doing nothing and a gang of men trying to smash his face in.

Hardly surprising. There seems to be a lot of left-wing "activists" who are simply looking for an excuse to attack normal people. People are growing tired of this.

She sounds awful. Bullet dodged.

Seems to have been written by a foreigner who is desperate to criticise other foreigners. Probably doesn't realise how this actually makes Thailand look bad. I doubt most Thais would want this sort of message shared.

He means with a foreigner. When Thai people do it, it's ok and normal. When foreign people do it, it shows how bad foreign people are. (That's just how some people view this place. Thai = good, foreigner = bad.)

It's so weird the way that everyone has formed a circle around him. I wonder how it got that far.

It's a good way of reducing tourism.
