libya 115 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Source: Pattaya Mail: issue Friday 26th 2007 (Graphic photographs of injuries not posted) British visitor has leg broken in fight Police are searching for a foreign man, believed to be British, who attacked a British visitor and broke his leg. The fight happened at 1 a.m. on January 16 in front of a beer bar on Soi Buakhao. Police arriving at the scene found a group of foreigners assembled. The injured man had already been transferred to Pattaya Memorial Hospital by baht bus. Officers followed and identified the man as Terry Watkins, age 54. He had injuries to his face, his right leg was broken in two places, and he had a deep wound on his ankle down to the bone. His condition was stabilized after undergoing treatment. Mrs Aree Tadprakong, 31, the injured man’s girlfriend, said the two of them had gone to the Noi Beer Bar where they celebrated a friend’s birthday. The party ended and they went to take a baht bus to go home. Suddenly a tall man who she believed to be British came up to them and struck Watkins, who fell down. The assailant then put her boyfriend’s right leg over the curb and jumped on it, breaking the bone in two places. Watkins passed out with the pain. The attacker fled along Soi Honey Inn as Aree placed her injured boyfriend into a baht bus to take him to hospital. Police are trying to trace the man.

Not unless he has taken a Thai name "suddenly a tall man who she believed to be British" Well, she is not going to finger her own husband is she, what better way of putting the BIBs on the wrong foot Good Luck Moss Just realized what I said, " finger her own husband". Dam inappropriate choice of words I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarqin Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Whilst not condoning it beating a man in a rage drunken or otherwise is one thing. Calmly placing his leg on a pavement and jumping on it is another. This lunatic needs putting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 According to my wife and her Thai friends. A boyfriend came to thailand as a suprise for his GF tho whom he had been sending money. He found her with another man and did the Job on him Isn't love grand? Why did he take it out on the lad, seriously doubt he knew about the other bf? Both should have dumped her.

It shouldn't be too hard to track down this <deleted> idiot then but I guess with her bullsh!ting and the Police not giving a dam nothing will happen. It might not be over yet, if he isn't in Pattaya they could still grab him at the airport if the coppers had any inclination to do their duty.

bmanly Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I didn't take it as that. It doesn't matter where the guy comes from, some punter has walked to a bar and punched out a guy then proceeded to break his legs in 2 places, it's pretty heavy stuff no matter where you come from. I just hope the culprit gets caught because there isn't any excuse for it. For God's sake a 54 year man minding his own business gets king hit then stomped on......... Most of my best mates are Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Sociologically interesting this. "Shagging somebody's bird" in some more dubious circles of the British class system merits "a good kicking". I'd wager that was the justification that the attacker used to approve his own behaviour. Unfortunately he failed to factor in that "his bird" was actually "his ho" and she was simply maximising her income. And the victim was effectively a bystander. I hope the vicious knut gets locked up longtime where he can figure out his own inadequacies and bitterness in needing to send money halfway across the world to prostitutes and needing to commit grievious bodily harm on 54-year olds.

libya 115 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 According to my wife and her Thai friends. A boyfriend came to thailand as a suprise for his GF tho whom he had been sending money. He found her with another man and did the Job on him I have since heard the same story. I can believe it. About four years ago a neighbour on my floor in my condo came back to Pattaya for a 'surprise visit'. He found his Thai girlfriend with another British guy in his 'condo'. He attempted to throw him off the balcony but failed, but he did manage to blind him in one eye. The matter was dropped by police and no charges were brought. I said to my Mrs. "Why didn't the boyfriend confront his disloyal girlfriend?" And no matter how much I tried; she could not accept this logic. It seems (to me) that an 'extra' boyfriend is (his) fault in an extra-marital/relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecubes Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 All that a side guys. Does anyone know what has happened to this guy. Is he still in Thailand, will he recover from the injuries. Does anyone know. I hope he is on the mend. I do feel sorry for him, right or wrong. Not a nice thing to happen to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakanong Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 It takes some vicious bastard to do that. A punch in a rage maybe but the leg over the kerb - it was pre-meditated. In the UK GBH with INTENT can get up to life If it was another guy sending money he had probably been watching them from somewhere else in that party building up his fury - lock him up for 5 years. If so the girl could finger him though could she not - probably together as I type with the other new customer lying in hospital and that would not be the first or last that has happened.

britmaveric Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If it were me, I'd just have a convo with the lad and let him know we were both being played a fool. Both dump the lady and then move on to greener pastures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mai Krap Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nobody knows the real story here so why bother. We all know a few guys who live with girls who get money from other men and the works. I knew a Ponce a few years ago who bragged about about it to anyone who would listen, me and friends thought he was quite the fool. These guys could have had words on the phone or even arguments earlier, the leg breaking is well over the top but who knows the truth here, it seems nobody is talking either.

Is this "ponce" a pimp or a camp man? People don't use this word very much these days. If he is a pimp, he has stepped up ( or down ) from the usual trick of avoiding subsidizing his girlfriend's lifestyle because she already has an overseas source of income. He is in fact funding his own lifestyle too. This for some is the Pattaya version of the American dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in fact funding his own lifestyle too. This for some is the Pattaya version of the American dream. Never heard the term Camp Man but I have some use for it. A few years ago there was a young German guy who married a hard core hooker in Pattaya. At first he had some money so they moved to the village and had one kid. Later he ran out of money and sent her back to Pattaya to hook and and send home money while he babysat the kid and sat around drinking Lao Khao. The first guy I called a Ponce was just that, someone who pimped out his girlfriend to other guys for money and let them pay his way. I think for him it was some kind of fetish thing involved beyond the finances but he was a certified cheep asss to boot. Yes I guess it is the Pattaya Dream for some, leftover sex and a bar tab. I have no idea what happened in the situation with this guy, I just hope he is more careful in the future, sex can indeed be a dangerous sport.

taxexile Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 In the UK GBH with INTENT can get up to life but is more likely to get an asbo and 20 minutes community service. only motoring offences and non payment of library fines by pensioners get custodial sentences these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
