VIDEO: Angry British tourist PUNCHES Thai man on MRT

[bander]

This British w.a.n.k.e.r. found the smallest Thai man on the train to bully.

Shame on him and hope somebody can teach him a lesson how to behave in foreign countrys.

I hope Thais understand that not all farangs behave like him and not all farangs behave like this British man. Otherwise living in Thailand will become even more difficult for the rest of the western people as understandably Thais can be quite upset of these type of incidents.

 

 

It very easily could have been vice versa too. Now it was the Brit who reacted aggressively.

No just common behavior. Encountered a German on a bus not long ago shouting in German at the Thais because a woman wanted her seat she had a ticket for. Total nut job. I suggested to the bus driver better to just toss him off the bus and make him walk. Just another example why the Thais have had enough of us. I would have tossed the Brit off the train at the next stop.

You seem to encounter all manner of deranged farang scumball nutters on a daily basis.

Must be nice to live in Walter Mitty land.

Ever thought of moving to somewhere more desirable??

The video at 2 seconds seems to show that he did punch him, it certainly didn't show that he missed.

He grabbed him, if he'd punched him he would have gone down.

Also if you get punched in the face you automatically touch the part of your face that has been hit

Are you sure about that? I live in London and you've got your work cut out meeting just two or three let alone it finding it 'full' of 'em. Even the pubs they used are long gone.

 

All the Londoners I grew up with were cleared out years ago. So were their families and children. There's mainly just us old 'uns left.

 

That's sad. Bring back the hooligans I say

You imagine. 

But...the real story.

Not the real story at all. The story according to one Thai blogger. Thai rak Thai.

If you listen to what the Englishman says it's clear that there's more to the story than a young Thai man bumping into him. He obviously thought that the Thai had tried to steal his phone, very common on BTS. When the Englisman recovered his phone, the Thai obviously gave some feeble and unbelievable excuse for the incident. It's this that angered the Englishman, who is clearly heard replying to the Thai, "Are you trying to take the p***?" A typical English response for an Englishman meaning, "are you making fun of me?".

 

The Englishman at no time attempted to strike the Thai and merely tried to grab hold of the Thai and make him admit to what he'd done. The Englishman clearly hadn't enough experience with Thai people to realise that admitting their fault is something a Thai would never do.

 

If this incident had happened on the Tube in London, the young man would have admitted to what he tried to do and apologised. The Englishman would have told him off and that would have been the end of the matter.

 

It was the young Thai man's denial of the facts that escalated the incident. A lesson to be learned by both parties on the difference between each other's cultures.

 

Why do you think that no one has reported the matter to the police? The Thai man didn't report it because he was in the wrong and would have been in trouble with the police, who take a dim view of young Thais committing crimes against tourists. The Englishman felt that he had dealt with the incident himself and there was no need for him to take any further action.

 

No one was hurt and the Englishman got his phone back. As we say in England, "No harm done".

Shucks ! This kind of incident reflects badly on all of us foreigners in Thailand. Of course, ideally, generalisation shouldn't be made, but the sad fact is that many locals do !

He made no attempt to punch the guy, he tried to grab hold of him.

[CharlieH]

The video does not show a punch, however unless you were there, you have no idea what happened before the video was started, it is fair to assume that the incident happened/started and then the video was opened, so we cant see what transpired prior to the video.

If the article is accurate the alleged punch may have happened seconds earlier.

 

freeze frame on a "grab" in my opinion.

This is the rider in the OP for the video.

 

"This is the shocking moment a British tourist punches a Thai man in the face after he knocked his iPhone out of his hand."

 

No punch in the video. It's clear that the author of the OP is going on no other evidence that what can be seen in the video, same as everyone on this thread. Ergo, zero evidence of any punch being thrown. 

[bannork]

The punch, or is it two? is clear here at 00.13 and at 00.27.

The report suggests the UK man thought the Thai had taken a photo of his girlfriend.

Not clear at all. Also there was no woman with the English guy, only possibly a male friend. More Thai rak Thai nonsense.

He's trying to get a grip of the lad. The other video shows it better, clearly an open hand, not a fist.

Punching people while walking around is not 'much ado'? Nice. Would dread to visit where you come from.

You should try blowing a different trumpet for once-if you are capable of doing so..hmm given you past performances I would doubt it.

 

None of the videos show a punch being thrown-it appears to be a lunge-possibly (very probably) because there was an attempt at pick-pocketing.

 

Thai rak Thai indeed.

 Doubt it was an attempt at pick-pocketing. The Thai guy reported the incident to the officials at the station  where he got off. The officials explained to the Englishman that the Thai guy was not taking photos of his girlfriend and both sides then went their separate ways without further incident.

And to think in another post you are chastising someone for saying there was a punch "when there is no evidence", yet you make up an entire account of what happened with absolutely no evidence whatsoever - what a massive hypocrite!

Yes, and then he would have dusted off his top hat and had a cup of tea.    You live in a fantasy world.

The evidence is there in the video, both in words and deeds, as I pointed out in my post.
