Be careful out there people.  This is not boxing or MMA where a referee is waiting to save you. There are no split decisions on the streets. It is much better to swallow pride and walk away rather than get involved in this.

Very true, much better to split than swallow.

I don't care what any law says, if the above is true then its murder.

 

Agree. The necessary premeditation begins when your foe is no longer able to pose you a threat yet you continue to mindlessly stamp on his head, with his death being the reasonably foreseeable result.

Oh my God. This is going to be very tough for all our resident thai bashing keyboard warriors. A gang of 5 farangs attacking a weaker person and stomping on his face while he was down!! 

You have a problem.

This is serious stuff.  The Police have to find these thugs and put them away otherwise nowhere in Pattaya is safe.  Not good for the tourist figures!

If its farang on farang, will they care to investigate.

 

sounds sickening...anyone got a link to the video...i cant log on

had only good times at Ruby what a shocker.

I think you are right. A close friend of mine was just attacked by a fellow resident in the foyer of his condo, all caught on CCTV and a 3rd party’s mobile phone.

He went to the hospital then presented at the Pattaya Police Station with his medical report, video footage and visible injuries. The police have declined to investigate further.

If someone has had the shit kicked out of them and possibly has died, you would think the police would be investigating. As for the friends of the assailant taking photos of the guy on the floor, that is just sick. I hope the cops do investigate and find this guy. Stamping on someones head when they are on the floor is just wrong.

Australian news have reported he has died

What a pack of hero's .. lets hope the one doing the stomping gets his just desserts

Cant believe there aint enough nice thai muff to take the edge off raging western drunks .  Go get a hand job rather than bash some drunk who looks at you wrong or " steps on your foot " as in the case of the drunk bodybuilder german!

[WHYWHY]

And if the Story is true why did someone not contact the police 

Or take a picture 

Or was it just to hard nothing for them to gain out of it 

[Happyman58]

Really bad. Could be Russians? Could be drugs? he could of being screwing guys wife and she told him? Who know Will the cops do anything No they prob been paid if they were Russians to turn a blind eye.

[PEE TEE]

 Pattaya always in the news for bad stuff . some friends have ask me to go there for a week . No thanks sounds like war zone to me .

[Rimmer]

Some off topic posts have been removed also an unwarranted Pattaya Bashing post.

 

As posted earlier Pattaya Bashing posts will be removed and that poster will face a substantial posting suspension. Bar fights happen everywhere

I'm a journalist and have worked with Thai reporters. Not one of them would last a week in the real world. But what can you expect when from your first day of school you are encouraged not to ask questions, and almost from birth not to challenge those supposedly higher up the social ladder.

 

I'd be just as likely to point the finger at defamation laws that can have you bankrupted and jailed, even for printing the truth. 

 

Of course, the defamation laws are just a symptom...  One of many.

Nope! the starbuck thugs looked anything but criminals, no tatts well dressed and in their 40's.

We shall see. Reading the detail about the attack i doubt they are regular Starbuck types

For a little background, just because it is outside seating doesn't mean smoking is aloud. The Starbucks at Central festival outside seating is also non-smoking. Most ignore it even after having been told by staff...I'm not sure of tukcom but I'd suspect the same..

Coming to Thailand, and beating the shit out of, or in this case appearently killing, another person. Yeah, that´s exactly why the policy "Good Guys in, and Bad Guys out" exists.
However, theese persons are probably going to be welcome to stay in a free facility in Thailand without 90-day report for a very long time. Congratulations!

 

Why in the world does Thailand attract so many individuals with non existing brain function?

May be because a guy with no brain function are the rejects of society and usually not have success in life so cannot afford places like south France and Bahammas

Because I am from the UK and still follow the news from there and remember how town and city centres were like when I lived there. I can't comment on other countries; others on this thread have.

You probably ought to donate something to a temple.  Tossing the guy the finger like that, you could have just as easily been the dead guy in the OP.  Luck of the draw...

Why can't I find any information about this attack in the local Thai media (Thai language) ? They always report tragic incidents like this. All articles I found is in English.

True. I remember when a foreign journalist at the Bangkok Post wrote about an untouchable and then had to flee the country to avoid jail.

Yeah, can be! I just wish 2 things to happen then:

 

• Give free tickets to Bangladesh
• Start raising the expenses for living in Thailand

What was wrong with the people watching could they not have tried to stop it ?? What is wrong with people they come here on holiday and act like animals lock them up and throw the key away. Feel so sorry for this poor guy just awful.

[F4UCorsair]

I haven't read all posts so this may have been reported.
The early news in Australia reported he has died, and the head kicker has turned himself in.
