TBH shame on you! I wasn't Thai bashing. I never do. Just reminded how the response would have been if a Thai walked away after doing something like this. Really, why are we so biased?

Remarkably, the 72-year-old British driver reportedly exited the vehicle without speaking to anyone and calmly walked around 200 metres back to his rented accommodation. “After the crash, I saw him grab a wad of cash from the centre console and walk away like nothing had happened.” Remarkable indeed! IF the driver was a Thai?

Yes, some dislike foreigners for a number of prejudiced reasons, but this isn't the way things are handled by men. really, being kicked in the head & possibly killed or left with brain damage for slapping a woman? they don't like farangs with superiority complexes running around like they own the joint. Go about slapping a woman in public areas in most countries you are asking for trouble. If it was you sister wife or daughter slapped. Would you dial 999? Or maybe tourist police. Or make a formal complaint in the suggestion box as you leave? The above are a few comments that caught my eye. Anywhere in the world, in touristic places where liquor, drugs etc are rampant, no one can sport a gentleman like demeanor. TBH, I doubt a real gentleman would be present around those places! What makes a man sport a superiority complex, and run around like they own the joint (especially is a foreign country) ? - absolute ignorance & stupidity IMHO. Most times, these are the very characters that are involved in these obnoxious situations and paint a bad image on the majority of foreigners. So... is it very surprising that most locals dislike for foreigners? Is it really rocket science to understand these situations? Locals are cowards and foreigners are well behaved gentlemen? All the time, every time? In real, who are the worst racist & arrogant people - Thai people or foreigners?

...and the tough, macho foreign Rambos.

TBH no one said it's OK for 2 men to hit a woman, per se. But I see many trying to justify the action of the two foreign men - maybe it's only me?

Two macho men hitting a woman is OK compared to many men hitting the 2 tough guys?

Who's fault?

The Thai woman would have been a really tough nut, isnt it? It needed TWO foreign tourists to assault and control her? Would that be the "more to the story"? The quality of tourists are rising by the second... I guess we foreigners will get more special treatment in the future...

.it is pure rudeness and inconsiderate Thai behaviour. So you imply all Thai people are rude and inconsiderate? Just analyse your own behaviour. That might give a clue to the issue. (Reading the little you have posted, you sound arrogant and flaunting your authority. Today's generation doesn't tolerate that) IMHO

only bank in Thailand that requires you to update the book every month, I've had an account with Bangkok Bank since 2016 (with tourist visa) and never heard of this requirement. For many months, I have not updated the book and nothing has happened. Once, they sent a letter, saying due to inactivity that the account will be put in to 'dormant" state - but my TGF transferred 500 Bahts and it was ok. Now, every couple of months, I top-up my AIS SIM in multiples of 10 Bahts to extend its life - both, bank account and my SIM had been happy, since. I hope this will continue...

LOL never checked on that!!!

Loud mouthed foreigners with an entitled attitude, in public places - BTS, restaurants etc.

Now that's really positive thinking. I like the way you think.

Eat, drink and say I don't have money to pay and expect to walk away? That's, great! Where else on this planet can we do that?
