Years ago i dragged a man down soi cowboy to get him away from a load of Thais that were going to kill him ( And that's happened down there by the way) i chucked him in a taxi, got him away and waited for my reward, namely his kicking.... luckilly the individuals just laughed and it was wais all round, but imagine if they hadn't been so friendly ?   

Hadn't been so friendly, or not drunk enough to do something stupid? It's often alcohol that makes people do stupid things. On both sides, Thais and foreigners.

What is the old saying " If you dont have any alcohol you are  a lover If you drinks lots you are a hater"

For all those blaming this incident not being reported, I would like to ask for your honesty.

 

What would you do if you heard a domestic argument? This is obviously assuming that you can't differentiate between a domestic and a murder, which most people wouldn't be able to.

 

In all the years I have been here, and all the arguing I have heard, I will be honest that I have never interfered and if I didn't actually see what was going on, I would have no intention of ever doing so. Same would apply in my home country. 

 

Too many people like to think they would do what is probably morally correct in a situation until that situation happens and they end up doing nothing. Easier to blame everyone else for not doing something than being truthful with yourselves. 

Very good question.

 

I have intervened myself a few times, but while I was intervening everybody else was looking on. And I was just arriving at the scene, others had been on scene already for some time. And the onlookers were from all genders, and skin colours.

 I did report the incident to hotel security the next day ... but I'm sure they laughed it off albeit not to my face.

You should have at least went to reception and reported the incident same time you heard something.

and if one of those people had a gun and shot you?

 

My wife wouldn't let me even hoot the horn at a car that cut us off as she feared me being shot for it.

I really not think so much of possible consequencies - otherwise I have to stay home and never leave the house - many things could happen when I leave. Lol 

 

I also not let my Thai Gf's tell me what I shall do or not - 

At least I not follow their advice often - they absolutely do not know enough from everything.

I can remember a few years ago when a young English lad tried to warn a Thai Policeman from making advances to his wife, the Policeman shot the young lad, then ran the wife down with a pick up........ Look it up..... Kanchanaburi...... i believe he's roaming wild and free at this very moment..... morals and righteousness can get you killed ..........

I'm not suggesting we should be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for another, but that this woman screams were heard and ignored is disappointingly telling of modern society and attitudes. 

 

As we age, modernise we all become a little tainted by the lowest common denominator and lose a little of our humanity along the way. 

As far as I remember - it was no soldier but a Thai Policeman who killed the Falang and hurt the Falang woman. 

Authorities in Thailand have more rights.

Unfortunately far too common. Brings to mind the Kitty Genovese case.  Someone else is going to call, I don't want to get involved, not my problem are the usual reasons.  Happens more and more the world over, not just in Thailand.

Horrific that this happened on my soi.

Unforgivable that her screams for help went unheeded.

 

Shameful but all-too-predictable that some posters decided to use the tragedy as an opportunity to bitch up Thailand and its people

as if similar incidents don't occur in the perfect little Utopias they couldn't get away from fast enough to pitch a tent here.

Yes they are small minded disgusting creatures. I wonder where they are from and what damaged them and if they have ever actually been to Thailand?

SUICIDE !!

So many Thai haters in this forum, it makes me wonder why you are here. Maybe you would be better of in your "superior" home country. The phenomenon of bystanders not intervening is not just a Thai problem. It happens everywhere, including in your "superior" home country. And yes, I have had the courage to intervene in violent situations, but not everyone does.

Not sure why it is not in here, but the Hua Hin forum says he has been arrested in Hua Hin

She  was alone in a deserted building. Dont make excuses for cowardice.  Intervention by a group of people could have stopped this. Intervention does not mean a fist fight. An intervention could have stopped this girl being murdered.  Its called doing the right thing. Just by shouting from a distance, videoing the situation, or slowing the assault down, without heroics, can save a life.

Of course, I agree with you, if only someone had intervened or called Police or something. I made my comment as I have been warned by other farangs not to do anything here in Pattaya. I am now 67 and realistically no match for younger men.
