video screenshot

 

A video posted by Thai Rath showed an egg seller clash violently with the local tessakit authority in Kanchanaburi. 

 

The trader explained that his family had been selling eggs in that spot for 40 years and there was never any problem before. 

 

The tessakit man explains they didn't enforce the law before - now they are and he had to clear away by a certain time. 

 

Eggsasperated the trader appeared to jump over his supplies and a melee ensued with about half a dozen people getting involved. 

 

The video was shared more than 2,000 times. 

 

Police were seen but it was not reported if any charges were made.

Eggtraordinary. 

What came first the trader or the authority everything now looks scrambled in the vid????

The poor trader must have been eggsasperated about the carry on over selling of a few eggs.

wow it took about 55 seconds for the store owner to lose his cool and start punching away. really bad body language. 

 

and the cop shows up and does nothing. looks like a referee at a boxing match.

Please respect the laws of your country. 

That trader was egged on

So, 40 years not enforcing the law and you want to start now. Squatters rights I say. Continue selling your eggs. Ask for a 5-year reprieve so you can organize to move to another suitable location. 

Eggcelent video. At first I thought it was a yolk but these guys were seriously scrambling for position to strike a blow. I hope that the perpetrator isnt coddled and that he faces justice.

I think that video was poached off another website.

Following a SCRAMBLE like that I'd be truly EGGSTATIC to see the trader BEAT the authorities on this one and WISK them into FOLDING.

 

On this occasion the trader should be able to keep his cake and eat it too.

 

 

 

 

Traders are not Cosey n Coddled like Tesco workers.

I think thats English.

At least nobody walked away with egg on their face.

the guy in the red shirt new that he was in the wrong.  Look at his sheepish manner.  These are a simple people.  If he has been there for 40 years then I think these people are trying to steal his business.  Good luck to him.

I agree with your eggspert opinion.

As my girlfriend once told me, "ระว้งฝังใจ" - beware the buried emotions. In a society that values containment of emotions, the breaking point is never pretty. I truly sympathize with the trader, but Bangkok is changing rapidly, and this type of episode is going to play out more and more. It would be nice if the powers that be could make some effort to assist those being displaced when possible. A handshake is always better than a boot to the head.

Granted, it was an ova-reaction. 

 

But, seriously, the guy is running an honest business to support his family - then some jobsworth comes along and threatens his livelihood... WTH did they expect?

submission?

 

Although I totally agree, the approach was all wrong out in public arriving with his henmen henchmen (and women) and trying to be all authoritarian.

 

Egg'oes were bound to be cracked.

 

 

 

Somebody will end up with "egg on their face". This will be a tough one to "crack".

Weird no samurai swords involved.

  Half a dozen self important @##holes to move on an egg seller, what a sad place Thailand is turning into. ????
