Kadilo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 So, 3-5 Thai jump an American, because he wouldn't buy one of their fake watches, and half a dozen other farang just sit on their bar stools and watch. Pathetic all the way around. Its happy hour. They ain't moving nowhere!Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megasin1 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 LOL...looks like the Thais took on more than they could handle, even with the sneak attack from behind........fail....LOL. The 2 fat nonces got a good view, don't have a go at them for remaining seated, they were more likely to go into cardiac arrest than be of any assistance.

Is it possible the American threw the first punch and the other people jumped in to stop him? It's not clear from the video how the fight got started, but you can see the first soldier running away between the bikes, then the second soldier sucker punched another thai and ran away in the other dierction.

You get what you deserve if you go there If he's an American soldier, on active duty, then chances are he's part of Cobra Gold, and didn't come as a tourist. Regardless, that doesn't excuse the actions of the Thai, which happens on a fairly regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoker58 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 My wife listened to the version on the TV news, which has more video angles. She says the Thai watch vendor threw the first punch when the Americans refused to look at his wares. The Americans then tried to calm the situation by helping him to pick up the watches he had dropped, whereupon he tried to accuse them of stealing the watches.

I dont say Your story is false or wrong - it just doesnt make any sence without a sort of physical or verbally filler that trigged the situation which seems to be missing despite New camera angels - i.e its seldom quite how its seems to be and unfortunately more often how we want it to be........

Pathetic all the way around. Yes but.... How about American soldier gets into brawl outside of a hookers bar when arguing with a street hawker while bargirls and patrons look on enjoying the spectacle. It's all in the way you tell it. In Pattaya this is a daily event and that, in part, is why the other farangs just carry on drinking their beer and enjoy the girls company. Let's face it, Pattaya isn't a place for boy scouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I trust the fake watch sellers were apprehended and charged.
