A Gulf War veteran was killed in a one-punch attack by a security guard in Thailand, an inquest heard.

 

Former Army officer Mike Jones-Mathias, 55, was on a work trip and had finished dinner with colleagues when he dropped into a bar in Pattaya on his way back to his hotel on May 17, 2018.

 

But he dialled emergency number 911 in the early hours of the morning - just five minutes before CCTV captured him being punched to the floor.

 

Security guard Phumphat Tanosingh was charged with grievous bodily harm for the punch and faced a trial in Thailand.

He throws a punch to the air as he is approached by two Thai men - and is then hit to the floor with one horror punch.

In a civilized country: customer refuses to pay - manager is calling the police to clarify the case. 

In Thailand: customer refuses to pay: staff is beating the hell out of him.

in the western case, you're also dealing with civilized customers (if not drunk), here, not so much..

I think that you will find that bouncers in all countries can behave violently , not just Thailand  

True - but the behaviour of the Courts can vary a lot.  

 

The Coroner's comment of 'a trial as such' speaks volumes.
