Maybe it is the translation but the police passing it off as a 'typical case of youthful recklessness ' when the victim only has a 50 percent chance of survival seems a bit of an understatement.

It's always passed off when the victim is a foreigner and when foreigners fight back in self defence they are charged with fighting. These types of attacks do absolutely nothing for the image of Thailand and the tourism industry here. How many times do we read about bouncers, taxi and tuk tuk drivers ganging up on one tourist and it's passed off as a "misunderstanding". It's all over YouTube and video doesn't lie. A serious wake-up call needs to be given and people stop coming here and spend their money elsewhere where they are more welcome and protected!!!

If I get a home visit I hope she's cute!

Much respect to the second IMO that did the right thing.
