Ah yes! The old "this problem happens in other countries too" argument. 

No. It does not. Thailand is devolving into an anarchy where Thais can cheat, hurt, and steal without getting caught.

like monkeys in the jungle.

":Thailand is devolving into an anarchy "

 

Because of a few fights on walking st

Nope. Thais are getting caught and the news reports it daily. Enough with the hysteria; we've heard it all before.

 

We could also do w/o the racial overtones.

like to know the full story ?

I’m sure they are back on Walking Street the next night

I would have loved to see the fight goes on after the foreigner went back in his legs.... My best guess is that the 2 Thai guys would have their asses kicked.

Now I have no idea why the fight started for and who is right or wrong

And maybe not.  But whether he was or he wasn't, does he deserve that?

Not when its a American soldier they cant

The American soldier clearly wasn't having any of it. For most tourists, they aren't prepared to get into a fight, and they shouldn't be: they're on vacation. 

But take my word for it, don't turn your attention away from an angry Thai man...you'll regret it. And any confrontation with a Thai man will include all Thai men joining in on you if they see a fight. They are just waiting to get in on an attack with a farang.

Ah, no! You are confused.

 

It was the old "this problem could happen anywhere in Thailand" argument, but now that you mention it, beatdowns happen all over the world, especially in nightclub areas with alcohol. I specifically remember 2 deaths at the hands of nightclub security staff in my old town in Australia, which is far, far worse than this. There were another couple that I remember reading about recently too, in Australia. 

 

Most of my comment was about how safe Walking Street is if you mind your own business and don't argue with Thais. Do you disagree with that too?

Stop talking about a crime thousands of miles away in a dissimilar area  and situation. 

Pattaya has epidemic violence and crime directed towards the tourists. Do you disagree with that too?

Edited by soistalker

The majority of thais especially in the very touristic areas hate farangs (which I can understand) and are just waiting for a chance to beat one up or worst. 

LOS

15 years in Thailand and whilst I must admit being an arrogant so and so on occasion, happy to say I never had a streetfight, or otherwise. I do wonder if the people shown on this and similar vids where simply asking for it or just very unlucky

Ah, Pattaya the world class family "Resort"

 

I know a Swiss man who manages a resort there, he describes it as a Children's Playground, for me I m over it in 3 to 4 days that is all I can handle, if I was younger maybe longer but the place is getting worse now al the time.

The Thai guys who beat him up were not drunk. And they committed a crime by attacking him. 

Youre so funny(obtuse).

Many people standing by, doing nothing... that's the real problem.  I can't say who was right or wrong because I wasn't there but a beating is never the answer.

 

Even earlier today, I was near Seattle in the USA and saw a manager fighting with someone who attempted to steel some bottles of alcohol, many people standing around but no one doing anything so I just walked behind the thief, put him in a choke hold and told him "You're done, you either give up or you give out, either way, you're done".  He calmed down, I sat him on the curb, treated him like a human being, said just be calm, all was good.  He ran when he saw the police roll up but it's not my job to chase someone, just to help protect others.  Certainly we still have human decency, right?  We should help each other?

Real tough guy, huh?  

Wgat are you going to do? Fight those Thai guys? I guarantee you two things: 1. You will pay for any injuries to any Thai guy you hit; and 2. That would will then be every able-body Thai man in the area against you.

is that your plan, batman?

Just take down one, the others generally run away at the first sign of trouble.  This is not a Thai issue it's common around the world.  If people are recording, I won't have any penalties or fines because it's clear what happened.

 

Your concept is the same as people who pass by those on the street after an accident, they think they'll be in trouble for just helping but that's no way to live a life.  Yes, I help people in need if I'm there and I will continue to do so.

 
If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place

If you're looking for trouble
Just stare in this face

Yeah, don't you mess around with me

Oh, and I wouldn't call myself a tough guy.  I try to avoid fighting as much as possible but... if someone has already initiated, the best we can do is try to stop it.

It depends. If they have guns you're dead.

Walking st is normally still quite busy at midnight, elsewhere quieter for sure. Your right about the booze though the later it gets.

Last New Years Eve when I was in Pattaya, I thought there must have been a convention in town of single white (mostly older) males I didn't know about.  

Been to soi 6? Guess you could call it a congregation of missionaries...
