You may call it provocation, but long ago in Patpong, when some of the upstairs bars preyed on drunken or unwary foreigners, and salted their bills by thousands of Baht, leading to an argument, it used to be a regular occurrence to see the girls smash glass ashtrays on the foreigners' heads as they tried to escape, and see the wolves come running to take free kicks at their heads as they lay bleeding and unconscious in the gutter outside. 

Misguided? Certainly, but when you are a tourist new to a culture, you don't always understand the consequences of your behaviour and actions.

They used to be called clip joints.

Don't know if they still operate  but likely they do.

They made a big mistake one night some 30 years back when they locked the doors and trapped an Australian rugby side on a  transit stop back to Australia. 

The British publican telling the story laughed  and said the Thais were locked in with them!.

Thais.Never attack farangs in numbers.

Probably some drunk bloke asking for it.. if you dont do crazy you wont get in troubles in the world.. he must have deserved it..

So wrong on that.

 

Walking home down my deserted soi early one morning and a Thai guy coming the other way suddenly aimed a muay thai style kick at me, which I managed to sidestep, and he was setting himself up for another one when I shouted loudly and angrily at him and walked towards him, so he took off.

 

Didn't know him, had never seen him before, never spoke to him or even looked at him. 

 

TIT don't forget.

Do not want to spoil the party, but on observing how some drunk foreigners behave in Thailand, they fully deserve a good trashing and to get charged and bear equal responsability in their drunked brawls.

head stomping is over the top; but after 13 years in patong (and some thousand nights in Bangla) I can say that farang-beatings never come un-provoked. we all know that.

no, we don't all know that.
