Know It All Fallangs That That Get Pissed Up And Try To Ruin Everyone Elses Night

[Slated]

I was at Bangkok's preimier Club Sandwich restraunt on soi 4 for an early evening dinner.

I don't often go to soi 4 anymore as I've moved further away, however on this evening, I was craving on of their Club Sandwiches.

As I sat awaiting my meal, I couldn't help but overhear one of the bar's regulars, absolutely ripping into a poor older fallang.

In short, the drunk fallang had learned that the man sitting near him had just married his Thai girlfriend a day or two prior. The drunk fallang's response was that the girl was likely a working girl and she was just using him, etc etc etc.

The poor Thai girl was balling her eyes out and keeping her sobs quiet in a napkin.

The drunk fallang (who's name I won't be forgetting anytime soon) then emerged from his stool, to stand closer to the other fallang and Thai woman. His language wass horrid, and he wass speaking so loudly that everyone at the bar/restraunt could hear what was happening.

As he drunkenly staggard towards my table, I leaned towards him and asked to please not make a scene, as I would like to enjoy my quite dinner (it was only 6pm).

At this, he was irate. He told me I should shut my face as I knew nothing of Thailand. I told him I live here, and have for 6 months. He then spun around and went back attacking the poor couple. As he again drunkenly staggard to my table, I again, this time more firmly told him to please settle down, as he was making a scene to everyone in the restraunt.

(I should mention that there were no male employees in the restraunt at the time)

At this, one of the waitresses addressed him by name and asked him to stop or they would call the police. He responded by saying that she was a bartender and should shut up and go back to pouring drinks.

He continued laying into me regarding how long he had lived here, and how he knew how everything works in this town. He jabbed his finger into my chest twice as I sat in my seat. I had had about enough and mentioned how I had reciently served in the Marines, and that it was in his best interest to calm down. I did not want a full confrontation, but I know the waitresses at the restraunt, and they seemed truly concerned with the way he was acting.

Upon seeing that I was not going to be intimidated by him, he began to calm down and offered to buy my dinner, and drinks for the other people at the bar.

He then went and attempted to shake hands with everyone sitting there who had heard, as the drinks he had offered to buy were being served.

Then he walked out the door, without paying for his night of drinking, or the drinks he had ordered for everyone else.

Later that night, I learn that his gf/wife is a Thai woman who happens to work at another bar on soi 4

how ironic

I haven't been to soi 4 since. Knowing that people like him are there is reason enough not for me to eat or drink at the establishments there.

Ah -don't sweat it!. People like that are just nowt more than a pain in the arse - nothing more, nothing less.

You've been here six months?.

Ha-ha- you WILL see worse in BKK, but it's all part of the charm of the place isn't it?.

After 14 years here I could fill a book with the tadgers I have seen and met here, and, no doubt there are a few out there who place me in this category

I was at a wee (Thai) birthday party the other night with some squaddie type (Thai) army guys and some (Thai) guy with a katoey friend said something to somebody : Instant violence all over the street - highly entertaining.

I merely sat at the table and watched the show then went home after finishing my drink.

This was not in a foreign entertainment area. I think I'm the only big nose around our office area.

Nothing to do with me...................gobby people sooner or later say the wrong thing to a bunch of Thais.

Who have been drinking.

Then, it's lights out baby.

Sun comes up, sun goes down. Been happening for years - enjoy your next sandwich.

Mai Pen Rai..... happens all the time!!

Remember that lad is legless, although that doesnt excuse his behaviour its probably why he is behaving so obnoxiously.

[chownah]

Drinking makes violence and the threat of violence acceptable in some people's eyes....even entertaining and humorous!

Violence...that's part of what makes life charming? isn't it?

[StickKettleOn]

I would have took a different approach. The second he jabbed his finger in my chest, i would have dropped the nut on him. Fark that.

Guys like this are everywhere on Soi 4. When i have had too much myself, i can often turn into a <deleted> and wake up the next day with my head in my hands.... but not that bad. I still have respect. The guy sounds like a morron, and i would have knocked him out for jabbing his finger in my chest.

I lived on Soi 4 for over a year, and hated it. Full of sleevless Chang shirt/bandana wearing plonkers.

[Casanundra]

He didn't happen to be a big fat Scottish guy going by the name of Charles by any chance was it?

[Slated]

Sorry, name started with an M

[Couthy]

Ha-Ha- a clue : It was 'McCharles" - had to be a Scot.

(I am one - no barks, o.k?).

the uk marines i know,would of smashed his nose instantly.......p.s is your avatar your real body or is it a rubber suit?

[lannarebirth]

I don't recommend you involve yourself with every obnoxious or annoying person who may be in your vicinity. I know you're a Marine, I know you're fit, but the percentages say, at som0e point circumstances will trump that advantage and you'll wind up seriously hurt or worse. Confrontations escalate at light speed here

I actually think that 'Slated' has a good idea : What or when has been the sight and actions of one of your country men or women that has made you actually want to crawl into a crack in the pavement with an apolgetic grin for even being part of the same species.

This could be fun!.

I have one but I'm going home now and will do it from there. Heh-heh.

On another note, 'Slated' in some parts of the UK means being paralytically drunk.

The plot thickens.

I agree don't under estimate a legless git and always best to avoid confrontation unless its completely unavoidable.

[redrus]

Seconded....

[Casanundra]

Yes that would be him...

How do you know if he was using his real name or not?

[Slated]

He was a regular and that's what the staff were calling him

[Schmeen]

Forget the arguement, I wanna know where I can get a decent Club Sandwich.....

I take it this was Silom Soi 4?

Probably wouldn't get a character like that on Silom Soi 4, so must have been Sukhumvit. Bus Stop perhaps? Or Haranahans? Only places I can think of which do decent food in Nana. Or Syn perhaps...

[Slated]

Suk Soi 4

Finnagins (sp)

The club is huge and one of the cheapest around

The bread is like home made.

Plan on it being a bit messy

Best in town

How did i know you were Scottish?

BTW since i know Slated personally. I believe he would have dealt with the situation very well. Also if it it had turned ugly. I also believe he would have probably been ok.

Unless the guy was Scottish because we are hard bastards and scared of no one. Martial arts. Phew! We are dirty bastards and would rap the nut in you before you could say Boo. :D :D

BTW I'm a lover, not a fighter.

[Acquiesce]

We are dirty bastards

I think most of us know that, i know many of you don't shower for weeks and i'm sure alot of you brush your teeth with sh1t.

Aye, Jockstar got it right in one - we are hard bastards.

Me, I brush my teeth with a wire brush and bleach and take a shower once a month whether I need it or not.

Gawd - Ms C just can't keep her hands off me. (Generally holding a broom handle).

As for clowns in bars - I would have run home, put on my kilt, painted my face blue, adopted an accent as affected by an Australian who has lived in the US for 30 years or so and is pretending to be Scots, then run back to the bar and stuck the nut on the ba heid whilst shouting "Freedom!".

Bams, the lot of them.........................

Nice one.

Sounds like you handled the situation well, Slated.

Shame about the lowlifes. One seems to bump into them everywhere where there's alcohol now and then.

Well, yes, they are in every country : But here's the question:

Why spend all that money flying here, pay for hotel / apartment - whatever and behave like a complete ba heid

when the penalties are far harsher than home, and, in comparison the money saved could have gone to a month on a blinder in blighty with a community service order at the end of it?.

Confuses the bits out of me.

Cheil that I am.

Only actually happened to me once that some drunk Brit clown started to bad mouth an ex girlfriend. (She was not ex at that time).

Being a diplomatic Scot, I wiggled my pinky finger and suggested that he take 20 lines saying "I will be polite to the natives" and return them in the morning.

Alas, my suggestion was not agreed upon.

For legal reasons he-he and this was 7 years ago, we shall not discuss events.

But he got weel telt.

That was funny though : Was it a Queen song that went, 'Another Millwall Bites The Dust' ?.

I still wee myself laughing at the picture of that night.

Ignore drunk idiots any place in any country - rule of thumb as we would say.

Fit Rare!!.

[backflip]

Let's see, you met a guy who was ill-mannered when he was drunk. I can hardly imagine that would happen!

I know, it came as a great surprise to a weel brocht up loon like me.........just imagine the demon drink soured his mouth..........

Some thing like that would never happen in Scotland

Splutter, guffaw, guffaw.

Right, now that I've had my medicine I better do some work.

[britmaveric]

How do you avoid a scrap with a Scot?

Buy him a drink!!!

I'll bet you never knew that it was us who invented fuse wire:

Two Aberdonians arguing over a penny........................

[StickKettleOn]

Since its all gone off topic, ill have a go....

I knew a Scot who dropped a 50p coin.

He bent down to pick it up, and it hit him on the back of the head.
