UK pensioner ends up in hospital after Jomtien bar fight over music

 

Picture: Pattaya News

 

Police were called to The Roxy beer bar in Jomtien Soi 7 on Saturday night after a 65 year old British pensioner got hurt in a fight with another tourist.

 

Covered in blood at the scene from a cut lip was David Williamson.

 

He was given first aid at the scene by Sawang Boriboon medics before being taken to hospital.

 

Staff said that the tourists, who normally got on well, started fighting when Mr Williamson decided to change the music.

 

Pattaya News did not give a name for the other tourist or mention where he was from.

 

Police are looking for him to prosecute him for assault.

Well at least for once they weren't fighting over a bar girl.

What is wrong with fighting over a bar  girl.. in the middle ages they fought over fair maidens... ?

65 years  old and still getting into bar fights. And guys here talk about fragile Thai men's ego's. These old men  need to grow up.

The difference is, nobody got their head blown off, as is sometimes the case over here.

Clearly Jomtien is a cultural hub of the fine arts.

The people are passionate about the music and the dance. 

Surely a great OPERA HOUSE will be coming here soon?

got to be rock and roll, anyone putting on rap music needs shooting (not saying that was the case ok) he he

[Get Real]

Fantastic. A 65 year old barfigther. I wonder how old the other one was? Maybe they can play in the sandbox together when all is over after a lot of wais and smiles all around.

Yep, and during the stone age, the man went out to find his future wife. Clubbed her unconscious, and took her to his cave.

At least no one got their head stomped and died.

Nope..it was Puccini..

 

Montserrat Caballe versus Theresa Berganza.

 

I always knew that this was bound to happen-especially in Jomtien.

Oh ok so by those standards men are showing how mature they are in their mid 60's by fighting over the music selection  and not shooting each other.

Big difference.

Bar girls arent fair maidens.  They're street prostitutes  standing behind a wooden bench or on the street proper holding up an offensive sign.

 

No maidens in LOS.

I put a Duran Duran YouTube video on in a bar in Hua Hin and almost got beat up by some guy from Sweden who wanted to listen to Abba.

[Nong Khai Man]

Was it Hotel California being played ??

[happy chappie]

We all know boys will be boys and squabble over the most trivial of things but it's just a case of old boys will be old boys here.

[sammieuk1]

Was it Adam and the Ants night and he stood whilst it got delivered.

[kwan]

Can't be sure but - the old guy looks similar to one I saw being helped into a police truck near Roxy Bar earlier this year - he'd had a scrap with another O.A.P.

Think it may have been posted on this forum.

[Emster23]

Yeah, more details over music preferred by combatants. If it was Kpop or Techno, I'd go to the mat on that crap if I couldn't just go.

[eggers]

Amazing what alcohol does!!

Ouch, that’s going to hurt a few love struck Romeo’s who’re trying to convince themselves otherwise...Harsh but true.

There are maidens in LOS, but you won’t find them in a bar...

[Justgrazing]

Maybe he wanted the Stones Street fighting man on ..

[miamiman123]

A pint and a fight ....UK style

[gamini]

It seems the Brits here get into more fights than other nationalities. 

[zaZa9]

This is what happens when you mess with a Culture Club fan !

[NextStationBangkok]

Looks like he entered MuayThai live ring mistakenly instead of P££sy show!

He probably ignored the warning: "finish your drink, I hear banjos!"

you are confusing it with pattaya, where negotiations are in progress to open a branch of Teatro alla Scala, of Milano Italy, Pavarotti could have had his greatest moments on soi 6
