  • Something for all the potential "quality tourists" to look forward to.

  • Smart move, to run away.  You gain nothing by confronting a knife-wielding psycho.

    what do you expect when the usual deterrent is a slapped wrist, whilst the foreigner could get deported if he dares to protect himself.

Speaking of that.  What ever happened to the Swiss guy how was attacked in his yard by a Thai with a revolver who jumped his fence.  The Swiss guy disarmed him but killed him.
So much for defending yourself if you're a farang.  That story just disappeared.  For all we know the guy is languishing in Thai prison for defending himself.
So yeah.  If you are a foreigner I guess you're suppose to just get shot or hacked to death. 

I'm surprised nobody has suggested he give up smoking ????

Imagine if it was England and the reverse happened.  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.

It would not even make the news in the UK and never, under any circumstances, would such an incident be reported as a race or hate crime.

Alcohol is like a poison to some people. Once i knew a guy i worked with, a real nice guy married with two kids. So one day he asked me and a few work mates for a drink at a bar near work. After his second beer he wanted to fight everyone in the bar including me and his other work mates. We put him in my car and boy was he a handful, then i drove him home. The next day he asked us all again for drinks. And yes,  you could guess what we said to him.

 

Er..."It's your round?"

What? Leaving his house?

He should have bought him a beer and immediately left the premises.  I know trouble when I see it.

Not a good idea if this is a favourite watering hole....  just teaches the Thai guy he can pop along for a free beer any time he likes.

Victim of what ? He wasnt a victim of anything, only of his own stupidity putting himself in that situation.

Where was it the nonvictim first went wrong?  Leaving the house, leaving the house without money, accepting the Thai offer to share a drink, ... not running quicker & sooner ?  Many of us would like to know for just in case.

He CAN, unless he has fellow Thais who will prevent him from doing this. Reputable bars would have tossed him out. Don't sit by the side of the road, drinking beer, you are a target.

And if you asked young people on Thaivisa today they'd ne'er believe you.

 

Mean this seriously even if it is after the Monty Python Yorkshiremen. These things happen and you don't have to do anything for them to happen. It is rare but it does happen.

So you're saying the Thai guy is not a ball-less coward?

More than once I have had some [usually drunken] Thai come up to me and demand money as it were some entitlement I had flown to Thailand just to give him.

 

 

I lived in Lonely beach, Koh Chang Trat and have witnessed this and similar behavior many a time, demanding money, demanding you buy them beer etc ad infinitum

Thank God we are not that stupid here. 

In the last 20 years never had a problem, as I quit drinking. Before, many problems like this, taxi drivers with crowbars, pool cues in bars etc.

Firstly, I might get flamed for this, never, ever go out with something in your pocket here - at least 500 or 1000. Thais when they get angry can be lethal and I never, ever argue with a souped up young Thai male, female or 50/50 especially when alcohol is involved. Obviously that guy is a menace but nothing will be done I bet.

This guy is a one off nutcase , or maybe there are a few like him, just like there are in every Country .

   Not every Thai is like this guy and occurrences like this are a rarity

Thais do not start trouble without a reason . This is not some primitive place like the  UK where people attack each other with violence just for recreation .

That's what happens. People learn that asking farangs for money for a living is easier than catching fish for a living.

Obviously it must be your empathy with the Thai's (rolls eyes). As I and others have said. You don't have to do anything to get that, you can just be in the wrong place when someone is having a brain fart. UK is notorious for it too.
