Fist fights amoung drunk people after closing time.  This is norm, anywhere in the world.

But maybe the video shows something completely different than drunks getting into a fight?

It never was the norm in Pattaya before covid. I was always amazed at how little trouble of that sort there was.

Some years ago I was sitting opposite Soi 8/9 near Police St'n.

When a bouncer walked over to the beach and proceeded to give a sleeping farang a kicking. It was totally unprovoked. 

Perhaps they had an altercation before that you don't know about.

Was this guy sleeping on a sun-lounger or a towel on the Beach, or what? I struggle to believe it was unprovoked and random like that... just not the nature here.

He was a regular sleeper on the beach seating before it was all refurbished.

Crime is up all over the world this place will not be exempt.  In fact, I fear it will increase as more people come and want to release all that pent up frustration over the past 2 years.  Getting drunk and crazy and confrontational will be on the agenda for idiots

 

 

As I read the article, it does state that the doormen caused the trouble. There was no indication of confrontation.

Wouldn't get near that Soi bukow area. The beach scene and walking st were good/ok. Now this bukow area full of thai males is problem.

You have a point...my recent ride around the area, including Soi Pothole etc, I felt ashamed looking at some of the tourists, many from my country, no shirts, no apparent respect..

A few bars on Pothole are the limit, rough looking 'managers', big big girls..... 

If the old bar scene returns, there are a few venues on LK Metro I would like to visit again though!

Indeed some of these cigarette smoking foreigners in their sh*t shoes, sh*t shorts and sh*t shirts. And the lowlife local males in that area deserve each other.

It was better pre-Thaksin with no closing time.
