British tourists in Hua Hin throw punches in nasty brawl minutes after seeing in the New Year

[transam]

That is normal behavior on a Saturday night in most towns in the UK, why change their routine here, after all the venues here are made to make them feel at home...

I don't hate Brits., that would be illogical, I merely questioned why it's always Brits that are the subject of these news reports in Thailand, the ones that I read.

First of all, I'm not British, but this is obviously a "Brit-bashing" at it''s best. A fight is a fight, and this could have been ANY nationalities. There are a lot of better things to look at on New Years Eve night than a simple fight in the street. Want bashing? Let's look at the Thai Police Force!!!!!

Geez, so guys cannot even have a little fun on the day?  What is the World coming  too?

It could have been any nationality, except the title of the thread says "British" and the article itself describes "British", apart from those two small points you're right, they could be any nationality!

yes. it's true that, except we also drink and can do so without getting into silly scraps 555

Sounds like a lot more fun than the Khon Kaen "teetotaler" fire works .....not a beer to be found near the Central Plaza celebrations....  Bars and pubs were hopping, but concerts were beer vendor free....   Fireworks were great, but not a good time....

Pissy little fight hardly worth stepping around. The biggest Brit bashers are British newspapers.

[chrisinth]

To be truthful, if this was the only incident that happened in Thailand, being reported by foreign media at New Year then it was indeed a very well behaved New Year all round.

 

Regardless of whoever was throwing the punches. Over-reporting on events like this does nothing but increase sales and leads to negative comments as to why these two spat the dummies and threw their teddies out of the pram. IMO of course.

[mikosan]

I see a small punch up between 2-3 people, no nasty brawl.  No evidence that 'locals' were trying to break it up, in my experience they normally exacerbate the situation anyway.  No evidence that the protagonists were Brits.  This is bullsh*t reporting, by a British tabloid newspaper, that I wouldn't read if it was the last newspaper on earth.  One that I would have reservations even using for wrapping fish and chips in.

 

Of course, it does give the 'Brit Bashers' some more spurious and manufactured opportunities to do exactly that.  Get a life and the same to the Daily Mirror.

This looks like a brexit brawl flat cap and whippet north v remain south rolling around the gutter outcome nothing changed.

There's enough Brit bashing on TV without going to Hua Hin.

Personally I would label this as one of the much talked about "false news" stories we are exposed to more and more

 

Is there nothing more important to report than this garbage "non news"

 

seriously

Yes looks a bit more like handbags at dawn?

[mikiea]

looks like a couple few drunks having a hissy fit over something gayish .....

[PEE TEE]

Ban Alcohol  many problems solved 

[shackleton]

Well this is not good news

i always hoped these quality Brit tourists stayed in Pattaya and did their  stuff there so nothing new 

now the UK news papers will have a field day with them turning up in Hua Hin

and degrading it for the rest

[vogie]

If this incident is the best they can report in Thailand, two Brits having a handbag fight in Hua Hin, I would suggest it has been a very peaceful new year.

Didn't look that nasty to be honest, seen much worse, almost a nightly thing when I lived out there.

:)

You are right, it's not only the Brits. Unfortunately, very much so, quite a few expatriates, tourists and residents, behave in a way that they would never do at home. As far as they are concerned Thailand is a place, where they can behave as they feel like and do things they would never dare do in their home country. I am an expatriate myself and I must admit that sometimes I feel embarrassed to be one.

maybe they were not Brits, just because most Europeans speak English you may well find they just thought they were  Brits cos they herd the English language being spoken.

 

Indeed. Most Europeans speak better English than the Brits.

Throw them in Jail, then deport them. It will soon sober them up !

This was no big brawl, i was about 50m away from the fracas watching a few street fireworks and didn't even see it.

There's no glass on the road that's glitter from aerosols that many had, lots of spray string too.

People may not know but there was actually a well known undercover policeman in the video who didn't see a need to get involved, maybe tha'ts no surprise.

Dickheads fighting yes but no major incident.

They don't want broken glass in their own homes.

Can you read? If so then you'll note the article also refers to a mass brawl in Bali by Australian youths. You'll also be able to see that there fights involving tourists, expats, and locals in many holiday and seaside destinations. You'll also be able to note that the nationalities of those involved varies. That could be because every nationality is blessed with its share of idiots, thugs, drunks who turn violent, egotistical psychos and people who have personality issues.

 

Unless of course you have valid research otherwise?
