The kid looks skinny as heck , and very feeble. Sadly, a prime target for bullies... Thais will leave you alone unless you bother them or do something they dislike. Booze makes us do dumb things.... I gave 100 baht to a WIN guy only last night for a short ride... biggish guy though. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus123 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) This incident should definitely assist TAT's campaign to attract foreign tourists back to the country...by a couple of million or so,I reckon..

Jingthing Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 1 hour ago, Billpro785 said: There are always 2 sides to a story, and then in the middle there is the truth. Unless any of was there, we will never no what happened. Of course some members of the Thai Visa Forum can't let a Thai bashing opportunity go to waste. Which makes me question , if life here sucks so bad, why do they even live here ? Why not go back to the UK or Europe where live is perfect. There may two sides but they are not equivalent sides in this case. Here we have a very violent assailant and a victim. I won't say innocent victim because none of us are saints but its clear the victim did not deserve to be viciously attacked. Maybe a playful slap and tickle or a bit of a scolding, but not getting literally kicked in the head. I realize some of the members here can relate to the thuggery of the accused Thai driver. That's too bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this guy will be back on the streets real soon, and if I were the guy on the receiving end, there wouldn't be a photo opp for the cops to play it all down, justice rarely served here, we all know that. spot on man. ???? that's why it's definitely worth being prepared for such people ????

I've hung out & drunk with some really sketchy Thai dudes on multiple occasions in the past & never had an issue. But i am a real friendly guy and understand that in Asian cultures we must have some boundaries as they can loose face pretty fast. It's all about adapting well to our surroundings. ????

bander Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Nothing new here, mc taxi beating and kicking foreigner in the face for no reason. Then arrested by BIB's, bribing them with a brown envelope, and a basket with flowers and a couple of apples and bananas to the victim...case closed. Another nail in the coffin for Thailand as at tourist destination. Well done to the scumbag MC taxi driver...NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad. Totally agree with what you said, but I also get his point. What that motosai guy did is not any excuse for Thai bashing, and generalizing about Thais. Thai people themselves are quite embarrased and angry about what that motosai did. Make that scumbag thug regret his actions, and leave the 99.9999% of nice Thai people out of the bashing. See the pictures that I attached, translations from comments thai netizens made at a Facebook post in Thai about this incident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
