A different story - but the fact remains: Kuwaiti hit over the head with a snooker cue!

[Juan B Tong]

I believe the Kuwaiti's story.

I've mistakenly walked soi 7 and it is like running a gauntlet.

Very aggressive in pulling customers in, and I walked by in the afternoon.

So if you want to feel wanted, give it a strole.

Drunken Arab or bar girl?

Coin flip really.

Well, they were in a way both armed with a stick, he with the intention to use his later on another location and her with the intention to use hers there and then so the questions should be is it really a crime to be the first one to use the stick and also if the size of the stick really matters...??...

[sammieuk1]

I think everone frequenting that bar needs to hit themselves over the head judging by the quality on offer.

Thai lady should be charged for assault with weapon and if owner of bar should know better and should show respect to customers at all times.

I can only assume that you are in the bar business and follow your own observations coming out with statements like that.

 

Or is that your expectations from the drinking side of the bar?

 

Of course respect should be given, but on occasion showing said respect can put people's lives in danger. 

[lovelomsak]

I think it will not matter who is telling the truth. The bar is the one that will be punished. 

   Pattaya is on a roll going after any one who attacks a tourist. The fine or what ever may be small but the reputation for Pattaya will be projected as police not accepting this behavior and will stop it.

[overherebc]

I've got a feeling a lot of guys posting have never spent a lot of time in 'other' countries, only homeland and Thailand.

Spend long periods in these 'other' countries and your posts will tend to go one way.

Or, to quote a famous, American philosopher, Rodney King, "Why can't we just all get along?"

I like the way the victim is carted off to the station and the attacker is left free.

An ugly racist post typical of a lot of people on this forum. Firstly, how would you know if the Arab was Muslim or not? there are plenty of Christian Arabs too. Secondly,  if he was a true Muslim. he would not

drink.

Then why be involved and contribute to a forum full of ugly racists?

I'm on team Bar Girl if she's right or wrong.

It’s the Pitts down there a couple of years ago I ended up fighting half the bar because I complained about a watery cocktail. Nice international family resort my arse never will be.

[observer90210]

Many pathetic racist comments here.

 

What some do not realise is that for most Thais working in hooker bars, should you be an arab or a farang, they put everybody in the same bag.....it is the money bag which is the main thing that interests them. It's only business.

 

It is thus very ironic to see farangs  trying to feel superiour towards other ethnicities in Thailand, as all are foreigners in a country that mostly looks at your money should you be white, black, brown or green !

It don't make any difference who's telling the truth (I personally would not believe the bar girls story) if a customer make a problem the police should be called to deal with it. Not smashing a cue over the head of anybody, she should be arrested for grievous bodily harm.

It is well overdue and time to start to prosecute and heavy fine or lock up bar staff or any person that attack any customers for whatever reason. Call the police and do not take the law into their own hands.

Example motorbike taxi man that kicked German in the face even if the German was asking for it by sticking a finger up at him.

[WHYWHY]

It's still assault with a weapon 

[Sydebolle]

A quality tourist again, observing his religious laws and only consuming during the night. His orange juice turned miraculously into something alcoholic and then the poor fellow got beaten with a cue. 

Also nice is the understanding of hospitality in certain establishments - a fine story!


Next please, is there nothing more interesting to write about?

Abulla Kha Salenesi I do believe in accordance with your religious rules you are not supposed to be "drunk" as you've suggested so why were you even in a drinking establishment? But who am I to make a Judgement! No smoke without fire unless you were objectionable??

I don't understand all this religious obsession of other's faith or lack thereof, do you follow all the precepts of your religion ? Have you even got a religion ? Why would you care , unless you are a fanatic ???

What is a muslim doing in a beer bar ? During ramadan !!!!! They might chop his head on his way home .

[Tony Hanscomb]

Prostitution in Thailand is ilegal. 

Muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol. 

 

[love asia]

We have not seen what happened.
so it's hard to know who blames for the problems.
but I know THAI's often have a bad temperament,

and can become aggressive, especially if they have been drinking.

BUT, also know that people from the  Middle East / Arabic,
have a very bad behavior towards other people and think they are above others, and think they can do pretty much ase it suit them.. !!

so my guess will be that the man behaves badly, and then she loses her temper and hit him..

[Top Chef]

And again another case of Thais taking the law into their own hands.

The Arab didn't hurt anyone but the Thai obviously insulted or appalled by the customers actions took matters into her own hands.

Battery was uncalled for. Could be construed as "Assault With a Deadly Weapon".

Yes the Arab man might have assaulted the bar verbally

but the physical violence was over reactionary and malicious

(not to mention illegal) on the part of the bar girl. 

 

Jail time for such behaviour is what these people need ..!

Fines are not enough..!

BARBARIC ..!!!

"Vigilantism" and  "Mob Law" are the rule of thumb for Thailand. Taking the law into their own hands may make a difference when an attempted murder or suicide is involved. But overall, this "Mob-law Justice" is an unacceptable part of the ugly underbelly of Thai society. This type of justice has been accepted because the perpetrators of these vigilante type actions, go virtually unpunished (eg. 500-1000 baht fines). (If a farlang were to act in the same manner by beating a Thai lawbreaker, the fines for such actions would undoubtedly be substantially greater. Most likely in the 5000-25000 baht range or maybe more and may include legal prosecution). Vigilantism is the order of the day here in Thailand ("The Land Of Smiles") no matter how wrong it is. Moreover, if the perpetrator happens to be a Farang lawbreaker then that's all the more reason for the thais to get "mobbed-up" so as to exact revenge and vent their hate and jealousy on the white scourge. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

 

The Thai should have received jail time (2-3 months) for Assault and Battery
