Case of the Drunk and Jealous Australian

A drunken farang felt so jealous when a fellow countryman looked at his girlfriend he hit the man and then when at prison caused a riot by spitting, insulting and swearing at police officers.

Late on 9th April the Dongtan police were informed that a drunken foreigner was causing a disturbance to others by aggressively shouting and then attacking another foreigner at the Country Road Bar – Jomtien Beach, and asked the police for assistance.

Mr. Gavin Matthew Egan, aged 39, from Australia, was arrested and brought back to the station to “cool off”. His foreign girlfriend came along with him also.

Egan stated that the other Australian tried to molest his girlfriend. However, when questioned, everyone else at the scene stated that nothing happened because the injured man came with his Thai wife. Other foreigners in the bar helped aid him and sent him to the hospital, and detained the aggressive drunk for the police.

At the station, Egan behaved extremely violently to everyone. He tried to attack the other 4 Thai men in the prison, spat at the police, insulted everyone; in fact he just went crazy.

Not long after, the injured Australian, Mr. David Randall-Smith, aged 59, came to the station. Mr. Randall-Smith pointed out that Mr. Egan attacked him and wished to press charges.

Usually in cases where a foreigner attacks another foreigner in Thailand; these people will be imprisoned for about a month, fined, and then deported from the Kingdom.

It is a very long time ago the sun set on that empire, anyway I dont know what you are all on about, you are all from the same genepool,

You have to feel sorry for this Aussie..............

........he ran out of drinking partners and it's no fun drinking alone...........

.......he drank two Poms under the table after two beers.......

.......he then drank two Yanks under the table after a further one beer.......

.......the two German guys almost made it to the sixth beer before they collapsed.......

.......his Aussie drinking mates had drunk themselves broke after 24 beers, 5 scotches, 3 brandy's and a Red Bull tonic.......

.......after drinking the energy lifting Red Bull tonic, his Aussie mates decided to work off their excess energy levels with their girlfriends......

.......so can you really blame this poor Aussie guy for feeling a little dejected at the prospect of drinking another 30 beers alone????

Do we really need all that nationality carp every time there is a rough-up somewhere in Pattaya. As the majority of foreigners are Brits or Aussies they obviously get a major part of the headlines, but I'm sure balance of bad/good people probably doesn't change that much from country to country.

Agree with Phil. The case is that Pattaya becuase of being the great place that it is, it is also a magnet for the worse from our "developed" cultures.

Maybe the injured man just looked at the attackers' foreign girlfriend and felt homesick....?

You guys (?) make me laugh. Brits and Aussies throwing jibes at each other like kids in the sandbox !

You should take some lessons in "niceness" from us Canadians ! After all, how can you hate someone from a country that uses a furry beaver as their official animal ?

The only decent thing to come out of Canada is Maple Syrup.

...what was that about a 'furry beaver?'.........no, I think I'll leave that one alone.
