BestB Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Clearly Thai guy was an amateur, an embarrassment to true Thai culture. A real Thai man, would have gone and got the gun and shot the Brit making sure its caught on the camera. then run and hide in the jungle and once caught make up some story, confess and serve 7-8 years in jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing you can make it far enough from the attackers since the multiply by ten fold ! I do find it indeed dangerous to hang out on your own in Thailand whether you’re having a beer or a smoke, especially if you’re a westerner needless to say, all the eyes are on you scrutinising every move you make. I always find this scenario quite intimidating since you’re the most vulnerable and without any protection whether from the police or anyone who would take your part..???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be in world news as well as being touted as an act of racism and hate. Here in Thailand? Police may get around to it sometime. No biggie. Farangs are rich. He should have bought the Thai a beer or two. The attack won't get further than regional news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
