    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.

    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?

#1  I am not 65

#2  I am not a pensioner

#3  The first time I met the guy wss when he smashed me from behind.

#4  I did not go to hospital because of a cut lip. I went because of a broken nose, fractured jaw and to have my ribs checked from the unprovoked attack.

I hope you all have a great chuckle and that I can be around when some maniac decides to let loose on you for no reason.

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. :cheesy:

it didn't take them long to realise dragging them by their hair was easier than dragging them by their legs and getting clogged up

As usual posters making their own mind's up based on a picture and a weak write up of the event.

 

Hope your feeling better if it was yourself who was beaten up.

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

If that guy in Deliverance had been a horn player people would not hate banjos so much :biggrin:

Put the Bargirls in charge of the YouTube jukebox (40 baht cash per track). Sorted.

Thus no fighting, no more bubble gum Thai disco or Rap (jungle music). Occasionally you will get Americans or Aussie bogans aplaying Country Music but they will be few and far between.

at least it was a one on one issue.

And to be honest why are so many ridiculing the 65 year old, as if when you are all 65 everybody needs to flee sighting the first indications of a fight, some people 65 + don't walk away when challenged or insulted (if indeed this was the case , which i can't read in the post) I respect that as a 64 year one.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello


Thai BIB: "You hit man yelling 'Freebird' mai?"
Yep
500 baht fine for you!
Ok.

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

 

You don't say ...

 

Btw, the correlation between alcohol abuse and educational environment makes for a very interesting study. In countries where sexuality and emotions are deemed unseemly, most individuals tend to develop an integrated repression pattern.

 

Large quantities of alcohol automatically release the pressure... often leading to violence : simply put, it's the 'pressure-cooker effect'.

 

I remember reading, back in the 70s, a novel called 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' by Allan Sillitoe - which I think was then turned into a film - and discovering the English sub-world of Saturday night pub brawls, hooligans etc. The book was very funny and extremely revealing at the same time.

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. :cheesy:

I get verbally assaulted every time I put on Irish traditional music ?

Having attended many bar fights in a professional capacity, the best advice I ever received was to wait outside until it quietened down as by then all the participants were too tired to attack anyone else.

 

You usually never found out the truth of what had happened as a) People told lies, b) Alcohol clouded recollection. May be different now that so many incidents are caught on phone cameras or CCTV.

Great reporting by Pattaya News.

Looks like the only fact they got right is the name of the bar.

Both of you should have been asked to leave the premises for having such poor taste.

Think it is going next to the cultural center, near the fine art exhibit !

Yes, they need to get started building a dedicated arts district right away. 

Special long term visas for international artists.

Perhaps call it the Thailand Effete Program.

Apply with portfolio. Not cash.

It's the new Berlin.

Perhaps south of Jomtien Beach Road.

Of course the new district needs an acronym.

How about SOBER?

Sad. That can be an odd soi when visited.
