Agreed. Pattaya people are used to seeing people drunk off their ***. That in itself would not provoke a beating. You'd have to be drunk and aggressive and annoying enough for them to snap.

And no word about the hundreds of thousands of Israeli refugees who had to leave their homes in the north due to Hezbollah bombardments, and the ones in the south near Gaza (now already returned). These things aren't black and white - there is collateral damage on both sides. Yes- I do feel sorry for the Gaza people who have been displaced, but Hamas overplayed it's hand and needed to be wiped out at all costs including the collateral damage. Hopefully the war will soon be over and things can get back to semi normal on both sides.

Bull<deleted>. Next. Seriously.

How exactly do you know that? Pattaya and other parts of Thailand are full of Muslims, and yes- they drink and party. And yes- many of them are good people. Assuming they won't attent a party because Muslims are not supposed to drink is just stupid. Many do. The end.

WTF? Sure let's also ban all Russians, Ukrainians, and everyone else who has a conflict. Are you trolling or are you actually this self centered?

Ohh STFU "Netizens". If the vehicle was stopped in a traffic jam there is no significant danger. It's amazing how they love tourists' money but don't want everything that comes with it. Guess what- you can't have one without the other.

Blame the victims? what the actual ****?

It will probably go easier if they don't have hordes of Indians, Chinese, and Middle Easterners clogging everything. It really is becoming annoying. Totally different demographics that do not go well together. It's only November and high season is already annoying.

Why did she threaten to call the police and didn't just call them? and keep calling them every time he shows up. Even if he doesn't get arrested and deported he'll get the message and move on to an easier target. Bullies talk big but back down as soon as you stand up to them.

Having lived in Patong for over a year, I have never been back. **** that place. The taxi mafia vermin have a lot to do with it, but the whole place stinks from the top down - they care only about money and give zero fs about customer welfare. Taxis are 10x times overpriced, nightlife is overpriced, bottles expire after 3 days. They simply don't care about you, period.

Probably because he was busy not being stabbed??

When I lived in Phuket every year around high season Phuket was full of various French (Algerian) gangs, resulting in daily fights and problems. Probably same guys. Absolute filth that Thailand does not need and should not tolerate.

What a joke. Thais literally stab each other on a daily basis and get off with 500 baht and a wai (ok not exactly but very little enforcement done), yet when a "rich" foreigner butthurts a "doctor" she goes to the supreme court? The guy already paid more than enough surely. There is no need for this vindictiveness or waste of public resources for something that amounts to hurt feelings at best. She was not injured. Move the **** on.

You're the 1%. Almost everyone at nightlife venues just assumes it's ok. A big pet peeve is friends who I specifically ask not to vape around me but they do anyway when drunk because they forget I asked.

For all the people saying cheap charlie - if the condo is next to the shop (no significant transportation time or cost), there really is no need to charge 1000 baht instead of the regular 600. That's a huge markup for no real reason. If there are tranportation costs sure charge 100-200 more but not 400. But yes- the obvious solution would be to find someone private willing to do massage at home for that rate. I wouldn't bother with the shop employees as they cannot leave the shop during business hours - you want a freelancer massage girl (that isn't looking for extras).
