  1. I don't have intention to show who is boss here anybody and I don't think that what I done it was "tell them was to do". I asked with a smile and explained why I asked. Of course there was my inner belief that my wish to have a nice conversation with people is not less impornant then their wish to sit toghether and do the same. It's not even about law, it's about normal respect to people around without segregation on nationality. You can call it naive, but I think that I never felt any discrimination as a foreigner anywhere, I would say opposite. So for me it was not a point. Do you mean that Thai people would respect person more if he is local? 🤔 Alchohol its another point, thats true that risk is higher. And this is probable bad luck that I came to person who "get mad when she is drunk, but in the morning she forgot everything and now if to speak with her, she is very nice person". But tell that "she has a reason" just because of I came to her and provocate, it's the same as blame girl who was raped, that she wear a skirt and went to dance to club, where was drunk people. Both increase a risk, but there nothing bad about and quilty on a person who done crime. And would be nice to have justice) But I think I get your point, it's very realistic approach and defenetly would help me avoid this problem. My main intention was to know how law works here, because of if law mostly on Thai side because of nationality, I can't feel myself safe and welcomed here, I just prefer to leave a country instead of build a nest here)
  2. Yes, this happened to me just yesterday. We sat on the terrace of the hostel at the Pratamnak and tried to talk. We tried because for the second night in a row there was loud music playing in the laundry "Amporn" next door, making it hard to hear each other. At half past eleven I decided to go and ask the music to be turned down a little so that we could talk normally. When I approached the table, it became clear that the guys were drinking. I spoke calmly and respectfully, but suddenly the Thai woman very rudely told me to get out. I have already noticed a couple of times that in situations when Thai women don’t like something, they immediately raise their tone and begin to speak in a commanding tone. At that moment, I still calmly asked why she was talking to me like that)) She behaved as if I should obey her unquestioningly, although she was very rude at that moment. I don’t know what would really be better to do in that situation, but I joined the conflict and also raised my voice. In fact, it all took less than a minute. She stood up so that the chair fell over. After a couple of sentences, she tried to attack me, but her European husband grabbed her and began to hold her. At that moment she was so mad that she twisted around, grabbed a chair and tried to bring it down on my head. Then I realized that it wasn’t worth it and ran away from her. At this time, women from the hostel, with whom we were trying to talk, came up to me, the administrator guy and the man from the table. He didn’t speak English, but he started poking himself in the chest and I saw that he had a badge on his T-shirt. The hostel administrator explained to me that he was a policeman, this was his sister, and this was not the first such situation. She attacked the hostel owner when he came to talk about the same situation. And EVERYONE around began to convince me that I shouldn’t go to the police, because in the end they would blame me, and her friends would say that I attacked her first. And the people at the table really supported her. Her husband high-fived her, even though what she did was drunken animal madness. I would like to understand whether it is true that in the police a Thai will always be more right-wing than a foreigner? What is the best thing to do in such a situation?
