You think this was funny? A mob (at least 14 people) armed with sticks and what looks like boards chasing down a lone man. Can't wait for one of the guys getting a kick out of this to have something similar happen to them. But they probably won't be as fortunate as this guy, who looks like he was taking care of at least three of them pretty well before the mob jumped. A lot of the old guys on TVF will manage to wheeze about 20 ft. and then get their brains beat out. Laugh then.

Got to agree with you there mate, poor <deleted> getting sicked on by all those gutless Thai's who mostly always take the law into their own hands because they can't fight one on one and know the only thing that will happen is that the cops will sort it like school boys, i.e. wai and 500 baht fine, sickening, if it was in a modernised country we all know what would happen.

 

I steer clear of arguing with Thai's, as I recall once a few years back that I was served a bill which was 3 times the amount that it should have been, and I said to the owner, that there was a mistake, I only had 3 beers, he became agro and staff circling me, when I said, wait a minute, need wife to bring me money, called the wife, fortunately she was close by and answered, told her the prob, she was there within 5 minutes with 3 off duty friends, one who said something in Thai to the bar owner, my wife put 500 baht on the counter and gave them a rip serving in Thai and we all left.

 

Now if I didn't have the wife come with her off duty friends I reckon I would have been set upon as I have see first hand others cop it from yes, the usual 4,5,6 Thai's who can't fight one on one, oh and why 500 baht I said to the wife, she said, you only drink 3 small beers, 120 baht each, so I left them a tip, and thanks for reminding me and pay me my 500 baht....lol

 

The off duty cops were at her sisters party at a restaurant around the corner, and I had slipped out to see some eye candy with the wife telling me to be careful and if any trouble to call her, as I did, love that girl. 

 

True story.

Come and enjoy your vacation in the safe Thailand ... (TAT)!
How many of these cowards for an elder! Recognize, we are in an uncivilized country!

[sammieuk1]

Yeah, it 's pretty hilarious. Another mouthpiece being too clever bit off more than he can chew.

 

Lesson learned for only 500bht. Keep it shut in future and be nice.

I might agree with you if we saw a pic of the dude lying in hospital with his skull bandaged and 2 black eyes, but gee whiz. "However, they only suffered minor injuries."

[soistalker]

Where are the Russians when you need them? Two Russians would knock them all out. Then have them the Nobel Peace Prize because you'd have 15 knocked out locals and foreign slave laborers who would never try anything like that again.

No one died. There were only slight injuries and the matter was peacefully settled with no one filing charges. The only thing really hurt were the oversensitive feelings of some posters.

Oh i see, so it was just a misunderstanding....mai ben rai...

Yes, I do not think it´s funny either. However, I have been living here long time enough to know that you just do not pass a restaurant, eat in a restaurant or even just politely complain about the food creates a reaction like this. Just maybe he is one of these guys that can´t show manor and adjust to the culture in the country he stays in or visit. So, what do you say? Have you just been attacked out of no reason at all?

you make no sense, so if you even just politely complain expect to be attacked by a mob, but then you say if you can't show 'manor' (I think you mean manners) then expect to get attacked by a mob. Either way, just accept that you will be attacked by mobs, right? ???? 

[jesimps]

The odds look about right for this part of the world, ten or more to one judging by the photo.

[Prairieboy]

Maybe he was a diversion.  It appears that the entire staff was chasing him down the street - would have been a good time for his buddy to rob the place!

[LomSak27]

No reason for tourists NOT to come. It was all a misunderstanding. 

 

There is no way in heck I am going to play tour guide with my brother's family, 3 sons (under ten) on this island paradise. That was because of the Taxis, scams, jetski scams & no lifeguards. But wait!, I did not factor in the beatdowns. That might be a DEALMAKER.

Another good Thailand promotion clip

[patrick1968]

well he gets the Red flag from one of the waitress 

[BestB]

Firstly good to finally see someone with a pair of balls who stands up and does ok against a pack of dogs, secondly police need their head examined. 12 against one and they fine him 500 baht? while other 12 fined 500 in total or 500 each?

[Dogmatix]

“The staff, as well as the American man, were fined 500 baht each by the Karon police. The matter was settled by the local police without any arrests.”

Sounds like the BiB at least got compensated for their trouble. Don’t suppose there were any receipts.

never seen anything so crazy.  this was no misunderstanding.  for sure over money.  bill was probably like 7000 baht and he said he will pay 300.  only money makes you this crazy.   

Money or insult, also known as loss of face. Either of them will do it. And 15 to 1 is about the user about the usual odds in this country I believe???? "Oh goodie. Somebody chasing a white man. Let's all go and help. Looks like fun!"

No mention of police checking papers of Burmese waiters. They should be fined and deported, particularly if they are illegals but the BiB must be in the take from those that are openly employing lots of foreigners. Last time I looked they were not allowed to work in any kind of retail business serving in shops or restaurants. Only WPs for managers, chefs allowed.

 

i find these tourist businesses with staff that can only speak broken Thai and sometimes only broken English too rather depressing. Mrs Dog, who is Thai, also hates having to struggle to understand Filipino accented English  when checking into hotels in Phuket.

I'm thinking he parked in front of their restaurant in a bit of the road they considered theirs.

Highly plausible!

A picture is worth a thousand words. Plenty of potential tourist will just read the picture and understand where to take their dollars.

[saminoz]

The police "fined" all concerned 500 Baht each.  Where did the Police get the power to be prosecution, judge & jury?

I would love to see an audit trail of these "fines".  I suspect that the trail will begin and end in the lint in the RTP pockets!

Each police station is self sustaining, Whatever they make is how they pay their bills,not like the West where all fines go to government coffers, but government allocates budget for police stations.

 

Some stations, Police chief pays for renovations and upgrades out of his own pocket, followed by large number of raids to recoup the money ????

 The American start punching Burmese. The Burmese chase him go away.

But you complain about Thai people? Never stop.

No Thais in this story.
