Video: Fists fly as police move in during Pattaya "Wan Lai" celebration

A video posted to Facebook showed a large group of men fighting at the "Wan Lai" or Songkran celebration in Pattaya yesterday.

 

Organizers of an event on a stage attempt to cool the fighters with some water canon and exhort them over the loudspeaker to calm down and disperse.

 

But eventually the constabulary move in and make several arrests including one man who seems very reluctant to go quietly.

 

Earlier the news media reported that 600 police, military and volunteers were on hand to keep order. This video compared starkly to one posted earlier of happy crowds enjoying the traditional Thai New Year celebration.

 

The crowd in this video reacted as some of those responsible for the violence were led away amid cheers of "Som Nam Na!" (Serves You Right).

After 3 .....

Everybody was Kung Foo fighting

Those cats were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightening ..

 

As Roy Orbison would sing "It's Over".

What's the thing with ripping their shirts off?

It just makes them look more of a tw@t than they already are

 

You gotta understand that tw@ts are proud of looking like tw@ts.

I suggest building a wall around Pattaya and keeping the gates locked for a year- then see who or what emerges...

ThaiVisa will close down through lack of use because there will be nobody to feel superior over...

I hate it when people shoot videos in portrait mode, very annoying.

More ammo for the Pattaya haters out there.............

Having lived here for years, those haters most likely hate many other things besides Pattaya. It may just be their dark, negative outlook on themselves and life in general. I wish them well...well far from me.

Don't hate Pattaya- hate what it has become-  way overbuilt; filthy water; corrupt; uncontrolled vice; surly locals; drunken and criminal foreigners- none of this existed decades ago when I first visited.

It's nothing to do with Pattaya; this is just Thai males enjoying themselves.  This year I witnessed it in Bang Saen and Bang Saray.  The whole festival is an excuse for drunkenness; debauchery and waste.  Waste of fuel; water; life; time.
