Aujuba Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd like to know why you mentioned a Philipino security guard. Why would there be a Philipino security guard in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suiging Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The OP clearly describes one facet of local culture always worth remembering. This guy did not cause trouble as an individual, he had a table of friends to back him up. Posters who claim " Headbut's" as the way forward , or standing up for yourself are still saddled with the one-on-one Western fair play mentallity that does to exist in the East. This is not a tale of " one guy". In this country it never is. He who walks away, lives to fight another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd like to know why you mentioned a Philipino security guard. Why would there be a Philipino security guard in Thailand? Apparently in another thread a man was shot to death for his poor singing style at a karaoke bar by a security guard in the Phillipines. Cheers, Soundman.

cm das Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Since when does a decision not to fight make someone a coward? Or why should this decision be based on how many friends and/or weapons the opponent has? I will fight if I or someone I love is physically threatened. I will not fight over words. My gf knows this and is cool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveromagnino Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 It was obvious from the start that these guys resented ferangs (me) and i felt very scared. It really showed me a side of thailand that i had chosen to previously ignore. When you stay in Thailand long enough you learn Thai men are really very jealous of Farang men. Can't blame them I guess if you look at the picture from their eyes. Yeah, I am so jealous of some moron who can't speak Thai and barely can speak english, married to a former bar girl and speaking in baby talk, 'you want go eat yum yum?' Thanks for the great observation about myself :-) I hadn't ever really figured it out, but you have provided some great assistance in this matter :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the great observation about myself :-) I hadn't ever really figured it out, but you have provided some great assistance in this matter :-) Let me gently rip your theory apart. I speak Thai. My wife was never a BG or in the sex industry. When Thai women find I can communicate with them IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE they seem to express great interest in me. The Thai women I know often complain what lousy lovers Thai men are compared to Farangs. Most Thai guys cannot fly around the world w/o visa issues and set up shop where they like. Farangs in Thailand always seem to have pcokets full of cash to spend. Guess if I were some Thai guy I'd be slightly jealous also. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm das Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 calm down calm down, i was not suggesting that the OP was a coward I am quite calm, thanks, and I didn't think you were calling the OP a coward directly. But in comments here there seems to be a common view that given a level playing field, a fight would have been justified. Someone can insult me, my gf, my mother or whoever as much as they want. In my view the words of a drunk idiot are just that - words of a drunk idiot. I wouldn't get in a fight over that. Maybe some people think that makes me a coward. I don't care really, I don't have anything to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Conners Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Did this happen in Thailand?? Where? What is the reference to a Phillipino guard about? Probably a reference to a story a few days ago of a Filipino security guard shooting some guy for badly singing "My Way" in a Karaoke. Where are all the "rah rah" guys in this thread? All the ones who are always coming out with the usual tribe "You're a guest in Thailand, they have all the rights to do anything they like in their country" etc?

Hawkup2000 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) OP you did great. Just play friendly and maybe alittle bit dumb like you think he is nice. Then remove yourslef from the scene. Take a look at the possible outcomes of this situation. 1. You get shoot. 2. You get beaten. 3. You beat him, and later have to pay him not to press charges. 4. Jail, blacklisting whatever? Is it just me who have expirienced that a drunk thai guy can filp in seconds (from mr nice guy to looking-for-a-fight-bully)?

I knew frm and old aquaintance that Millwall FC supporters are the worst on earth. What is really funny is to put "Millwall supporters" in google and have a look at the results.. these are just some of the results on the first two pages: "f^&kin millwall w$%kers if i ever cum dwn 2 u im gna f**kin stab" "heavy police guard Millwall tempers" "Two Millwall fans, stabbed in clashes ahead" "Hillsborough Slurs off Millwall Fans leads to crowd trouble." "threat of violence between the Spurs and Millwall supporters" "Millwall supporters attacked a group of Portsmouth fans" I wonder if these boys get invited to tea parties!!
