What,on Earth,are you trying to say?

 

Okay..the innards kinda got gummed up after 6 months...but,because I can speak colloquial 17th century Thai,been livin' here for 30 years and NEVER been ripped off..I can only put it down to the Chiang Mai effect.

 

Everyone  knows the Chiang Mai effect.

You probably have not bought a clock either

They were not even thinking about helping another foreigner, me thinks. Shame. 

Why would they? Many idiot farang as well in Thailand...and many guns around plus you don't know who's side the police will take.

 

Those watchvendors also walk into restaurants like they own the place, very annoying....owners of restaurants don't dare to stop them which tells me enough....

Silly soldier, did he really expect to be able to say no thanks and just be able to walk away

Lucky for the two other Thais that the RTP turned up so soon

You really think that is all there was to it?  Really?  Why should the others get involved in the fracas?  Pity you weren't around to sort them all out, eh?

The soldier did not need any help

Best thing I ever did was stay. Never had any problem w/ the vendors. Fact, I share a smile with them sometimes. They agree my watch & sunglasses are real whereas theirs are fake.

 

Vendor management is merely one of those skills true cesspoolians pick up rather quickly and easily.

 

 

I think we could also find a few not in the video. Anywhere.

 

I think the soldier picked up vendor management rather quickly as well

The so called "American soldier" with the balding head looks too old to be a soldier. Fake information from him.

 

 

l doubt you are a expert on the matter bro. And they were all soldiers 

[Media1]

just more Thai garbage that is allowed to harass and insult customers in other venues and is blessed to do so by the utterly incompetent RTP of Pattaya. One of these rats tried to park himself on a chair at my wife's shop. Thought he was a owner. This was quickly rectified lol. <deleted> go pay rent. Better still go hand yourself.

There seemed to be a second fight after the young American in a white shirt wisely removed himself  from the scene.. That was when the guy with the bald head got a bloody nose. Not clear whether he was Thai or not.

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 aro

Yes, I wonder what Jose Manuel Polanco Jr. would have done.  Better to let life flow by you in Thailand.

I didn't get a certificate, but did get a 'lifetime' warranty with my watch.

 

Any problems with the watch just take it back for a refund or exchange.

Looks like three of the Thai bullies got a right slap from the soldier.

Would it have been fun if there were three soldiers against the 5-6 cowards!

 

Thais are a bunch of cowards and racists. The others who joined in, just because he was a foreigner, had no idea of what the row was about. 

Thai rak Thai?

"Thais are a bunch of cowards and racists"

 

Are you honestly and seriously mean that the Thais are racists?

Comparatively, how would the 'Racist Meter' reflect on Westerners?

Does not your post have a 'ring' of racism in itself?

How about a MAJORITY of posts on TV?

Who really 'created' racism on this planet?

 

Could you be honest to yourself and answer the above questions, please?

(Just so that I get the correct meaning of Racist)

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 aren't looking at the CCTV video, where the American is king snaked by the watch seller and within the blink of an eye the Thai had a friend join in who happened to be standing behing the American. The first two Thai's set up an ambush for whatever reason and attacked the American in the white shirt.  Stickboybkk has the video from the bar.

Well, when it comes to the thai crowd mentality part my experience has a different and positive twist. I was driving from Pattaya towards Trat and on the way I got a flat tire. No need to ask anyone as it came Thais from all corners that wanted to give a hand ended up with that they fixed everything with a smile and for no charge so their crowd mentality is not only negative - when it comes to the racist/coward part my experience is that they are not different from us westerner with a mix of all types of individuals....

Well yeah Rambo what can I say.

 

Only thing I know for sure is that you never intervened in such a event, because then you wouldn't have made this silly comment.

 

At least it earned you some likes.

It impossible to see exactly what is going on in the poor quality cctv in the bar.  While it looks like the Thai threw the first punch, he might have had an elbow in the face just before that.

 

Your ambush theory is made up nonsense.

This video has been on most of the Thai national news stations tonight and they have been reporting that the watch sellers instigated it. From my experience here when US soldiers are involved in an incident the thai military puts pressure on police to make arrests. I would expect in a day or two we will see a follow up with the watch sellers apologizing to cameras from the police station.
