It's funny the way that the "farang-bashers" and Thai apologists work. To them, this is probably a righteous beat down of the "farang scum" who was causing trouble, while the attack against the Thai tuk tuk driver who (allegedly) stole from the Brit was an unprovoked and vicious assault. It's pretty clear what's really going on.

Either he was very busy being annoying (not impossible), or these people re going to great lengths to concoct a story that justifies a savage and sustained attack.

It's a pity your moral viewpoint isn't reciprocated when it comes to these freaks manhandling tourists against their will and thieving what they can. You're confusing morality (ethics) and moral of the story (lesson). There is nothing moral about what has happened here, but you should learn the moral lesson from it, even if it makes Thais look bad.

The problem is, this is only in your head and has nothing to do with what Thai people actually think.

I'm not sure I understand you. I was explaining that if "what it looks like" is what it is, then the driver must have stolen from the Brit before the Brit assaulted him. I think it's worth pointing out both sides, and where people only want to focus on what the Brit has done, ignoring what the driver did, then they're being dishonest due to racism.

"I just don't understand it. I gave them a helmet, I explained why they need to wear them, they seemed to understand, but now they aren't wearing them. When I asked why, they told me I didn't understand Thailand because I am farang and if I didn't like it I should go home."

And social media. When they think they can get rich by behaving like complete idiots online, they find they can't switch it off.

They're just playing at being like the joker to try to appear edgy.

They're way easier to avoid in Thailand. In the West they blend in with the various flavours of nutters there.

"Yeah, but I like the Thais..."

It looks like the Brit was asking for his money back. So the driver must have scammed him? OK. Glad you could be honest about that.

I'm sure you have something to say, but you aren't great at expressing yourself. 🤷‍♂️

I'm not really sure what point you're making. 🤷‍♂️

Hardly surprising. While Trump says and does a lot of daft things, his critics lie about him all day long. Luckily, courts are at least still impartial, so the accusations have to be proven. And when things need to be proven, the left-wing narrative often falls apart. 🤷‍♂️

All these people saying Brits are giving foreigners a bad name, when actually they're the ones making the most effort to assimilate into Thai culture.

Just another psycho who thinks it's OK to attack and seriously injure people for no other reason than they feel like it.

Only in Thailand would this be up for debate! I wonder what the "for" side has come up with... 🤔 "Actually, I think it's a good thing for an adult trained fighter to get pissed up and attack a 15-year old girl, seriously injuring her, based on rumours that the kid likes her ex and her friends egging her on. It shows that she loves her ex a lot." 🤦‍♂️

But one sees foreigners stealing from Thais, while the more recent one appears to be a foreigner complaining of a Thai stealing from him (albeit with his fists). The two don't seem similar, unless you are trying to make out that the recent case is also one of a foreigner stealing from Thais for some reason?

Well, the things you're claiming aren't true. How would you rather we describe it? Untruths? Factual errors? Whoopsies? Good ol' Liverpool Lou troll-abouts?

It is. Clearly:

It says he paid it. Who do you think he paid it to? Was there someone else there? 🤔

Actually, the topic is your weird reply, where I asked you about Thai police siding with Thai locals in cases where the foreigner is the victim, and you going on a rant where you listed bad things that you believed British people had done in Thailand. Completely ignoring the comment you were replying to spew racial hatred. This reply is now equally unhinged, as you are suddenly back to the OP, talking as though that is what was being discussed in the comment you are now replying to, which it isn't. you can't even stay focused on what is being discussed. You just spew hatred that is not what is even being discussed in the comments you are replying to. Safer? Were you planning to steal his money as well? Hopefully the truth will come out and the driver will face charges if he stole the Brit's money.

You say "A similar event", but go on to describe an event that is not similar... 🤔

What's the penalty for theft?
