And the guy in yellow had a pretty broad Book in his hand, ... Like who carries books these days ? ... and the little guy a Tablet, ... thieves often use these books, or pieces of Cardboard, and pretend to be Begging ... or even their Tables I guess, ... as a horizontal screen ... while they just softly bump up against you, and their hands just quietly try to find you money, in the cover under them ! ... (My Mother and I were Hit quite blatantly, by Bosnian Gypsies like this in Pizza once.) ... So I do know this one and well it also is an Old One ! .

I've been the victim of petty thieves three times over the years in Pattaya and I try to be careful. 

 

Once it was the theft of my phone but it was only a cheapie back then as few people had these smart phones. I've got a smart phone now but do no take it out.

 

Pattaya can't be much different from Bangkok where crime is concerned.

 

Unfortunately not all Thais are the little angels some make them out to be.

[Liverpudlian]

My angle is, people punch people around the globe every second of every day but this is viral ?  no sarcasm intended just facts.

[JonnyF]

A lot of people jumping to conclusions here. It's highly unlikely that the British guy was that angry due to some kind of accident. I heard elsewhere that the Asian guy had tried to pickpocket him and also that he was taking pictures of his girlfriend.

 

I can hear the British guy saying "take it off him", "what have you got under you iPad" and "where did you get that from" so I'd guess this was a pickpocket attempt. Or maybe he wants the guys phone to delete the picture that he took? We don't know.

 

The British guy handled it very poorly but let's not hang him from the BTS until the full story comes out.

BRITISH BEHAVING BADLY.

Simply lock these mongrels up for a few weeks in a Thai Jail, then deport them at their own cost. If they ( the Scumbags ) don’t have enough money to pay the costs....they stay locked-up until their relatives provide the money.

What about if it comes out in the wash that he as in fact the victim of a pickpocket. Right now we don't actually know the full story.

 

It seems to be a bit of an over reaction if someone just bumps into you and even if he made you drop your phone. And it's strange that the little fellow and Mr Yellow shirt got off the train together!

 

And the little fellow so far as we know does not seem to have reported the 'assault' to the Thai Plod. Do you not wonder why, if he was just an innocent victim there could well be a few thousand baht in it for him if all goes well with the Plod.

65% of Thais can trace their origins back to China. They despise their roots? Or did one Thai tell you that he didn't like the Chinese?

[tomazbodner]

Should be able to compare his face with mugshots from immigration. We'll read about him wai-ing to the Thai guy very soon. I hope he enjoys rice soup and cockroaches in IDC.

This guy is a disgrace, wonder if he would have been so quick to react if it was someone his own size or bigger instead of a small obviously frightened Thai.

 

Disgusting and sadly reflects/tarnishes on every "farang" here.

That's a pretty clear video and with the facial recognition software they have it shouldnt be too difficult for immigration/Police to track this guy down and deport him. (hopefully).

You don't get deported for punching a person even if he's thai. It might cost a few thousand baht, though.

Hello to All,

 

Im sure this man is not only a disgruntled individual but a racist as well , We don’t need your kind ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD !! INCLUDING THAILAND!!

 

I’m American and I see this <deleted> even more in my home Country created by our Lying , Hate Promoter and Racist President.

its sad and PATHETIC !!  

It's not really up to any falang including Americans to say who is and who is not needed in Thailand. It's up to the Thais, it's their country.

 

And there's no need to shout!

 

You're quite entitled to say who is needed or not needed in your own Country as is Donald Trump along with his supporters.

 

And why are you sure he's a racist, for all you know he's livid because he's just been pickpocketed. Even that still does not make him a racist.

 

You can be just as angry with someone of your own race if they've just been caught robbing you.

Another Northern Pommy Tourist  that's a big man. If I was on that train as I'm  6 foot 7  and 130 kg I would put this little <deleted> in his place picking on a small teenage kid what a loser.. 

Hope the men in Grey put him on the first Eva air flight back home.. 

How do you know he's a Northern Pommy Tourist?

 

He's got a Thames Estuary accent which would indicate that he's from the South of Pommyland as the Thames is in the South and runs through London.

 

Got any more pearls of wisdom Big 'un.

[Scouse123]

We have a totally unnecessary reaction from a white male, who happens to be from the UK. He could have been from anywhere. ' Jerks ' are not unique to the UK.

 

On this occasion and by the evidence available, I would agree he needs arresting and dealing with even deporting, if the authorities see it as such.

 

What I don't agree with is all this nonsense that the Thais will view us all the same. Such Garbage.

 

We are not all the bloody same and it's damned obvious to Thailand that we are not. You wouldn't blame a worker in your local 7-11 for the actions of a jet ski scammer in Phuket or the taxi mafia in Koh Samui, just because they are Thai, would you?

 

Do we as foreigners look at all Thais in the same way as the shopping mall murderer? It would be ridiculous.

 

Some posters need to get a grip, get real and grow up and think before they post knee jerk reactions.

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.

 

 

"I hope Thais understand that not all farangs behave like him and not all farangs behave like this British man".

 

I would have preferred the poster to have written. "I hope Thais understand that not all British farangs behave like him and not all farangs behave like this particular British man".

 

I am British and I certainly don't act in any way like this vicious sounding thug. I also know a number of other British guys who do not act like this, ever!

 

We are no different to any other nationality in this respect. There is good and bad in every country. Don't try to tar us all with the same brush..........

Will the full facts ever come out?

What do we know? Someone for reasons unknown was filming a group of people on the train? Why? Has the first part of the clip which may have caused the filming to begin been edited out? The guy in yellow was protecting the smaller person and they both left the train together. Were they together before the argument? If the small person was a dip why try to take a phone that was connected to earphones? If he was a dip why didn't he time his 'extraction' so that he could immediately leave the train? Why did he not leave the train when the girls got up and left? As someone has posted, why hasn't he been to the police to try and extract a few quid from the Englishman...or if he has done where's the link?

Scouse, he made a grab for the smaller man and missed. He didn't punch him. We don't know why he was angry, that's all it was, angry verbals, so I think you have posted a knee jerk reaction yourself.

Most pickpockets are already known to the police.

He's not likely to give himself up.

[basatop]

I do not understand the reaction of majority of posters here.It seems to me,that it is the story of couple of unlucky pocket thieves caught red handed by farang/victim.The victim has all rights to be angry to beat the shiit out of that miser and drag him to police.In every country I know the public would join to apply more punishment: kicks and verbal abuse.Scenes like this happened in my place now and then in streetcars.I would like to see you someday and your faces - the moment,you realize that your fat wallets had  vanished from yours pockets!　

[BigC]

He had every right  to make the thai man pay for his mistake but  not that way.

 

Then again  he could hardly call the police without  going to the nexr floor

 

Apologing doesn't  pay for a new iphone

[BigC]

He should  have got his friend to video the thai man asking him  to come  to the police station

 

Asked the friend  to take photo  of his ID card

 

If he refused to do so then would need tje help of his friend with the phone and a train security  guard to clear  situation 

 

Problem is for short term tourists  they dont  know  how to take the right  step

 

Then this happens.

 

If the thai man was sorry  he would jave gone to the polixe station and paid for the phone 

 

A sorry  a word isn't  going the replace the phone

 yeah.

 

I was trying to say if rhe foreigner was out of order, then OK, let the authorities do as they seem fit.

 

My post was mainly concerned with posters trying to imply that we will all be looked at in a bad light and all classed the same which is just plain silly, be it this incident or any other.

Another drugged Brit who can't control himself.  Yes I think he must have been on drugs, just trying to explain his aggression.

 From Wiki.  'Sir Roderick David Stewart is a British rock singer and songwriter. Born and raised in London, he is of Scottish and English ancestry'.

 

He chooses for his own reasons to identify as a Scot.

 

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.....'Sir Rod Stewart faces being sued by a US security guard who claims he was assaulted by the singer.'

Have you considered that something we didn't see could explain his aggression. What evidence is there that he is a 'drugged' Brit?

In your opinion, something can justifie punching a man on public transport, even when you see the man is avoiding confrontation, as well another man have taken control of.
