Judging from numerous Facebook and YouTube comments, it appears that most Thais agree with what happened to him. Below, I’ve shared some of the most "liked" comments from Thais across various social media platforms: - "I don't support violence, but these freeloaders have gotten used to it. Go all out." - *"Was this foreigner prosecuted when they assaulted a Thai person?" - *"When they break the law, authorities hesitate to punish them harshly for fear of damaging the country's tourism reputation. So, do locals end up taking matters into their own hands instead?" - *"Excellent!"* 😊

Guess he <deleted> around enough to find out....

Suprised he hadn't already been deported

I think this is a good idea. It helps to keep most of the area clean, quite and safe for thsoe who want to relax or sleep early without being woken up by drunks.

Great decision! There's nothing worse than having to endure loud drunks on a long journey. Keeping things calm and quiet definitely makes the trip safer and more peaceful.

along with the Indians...

100% more to this story. Something does not add up

There are clearly a lof ot them in Thailand and SEA.

Exactly. They pretend to care so much about local businesses losing money, but that's just a smokescreen to hide their inability to control their alcohol dependency—or simply an excuse to take a dig at the Thais.

A nice pull counter right hook by the Security Guard.

First of all, at that age, he should know better. Secondly, he should understand the limitations of his physical capabilities. In his head, he may have thought he was still a tough guy, but reality soon kicked in and probably gave him the wake-up call he needed.

Oh yeah, I'm certainly not saying I agree with them—I just don't think it's an issue, and I don't understand why people get so freaked out by it. I guess I just feel indifferent about them when you consider the much bigger problems at hand.

The first time I came to Thailand 15 years ago for a vacation, I encountered a Buddhist holiday that I was unaware of. It didn’t affect my vacation at all. I simply respected the tradition and the local laws, and had a good 24 hours without drinking. As I said, it only affects people who are dependent on alcohol.

Let's be real here.. I doubt most ASEAN NOW members care much about how much local businesses lose on Buddhist holidays. Most of the uproar here is likely from people who can't bear the thought of not being able to sit on their barstool and drink from 9 AM to 10 PM with their 20 pints of beer. That's what I'm really referring to.
