about time the pendulum swung the other way. toxic masculinity has had its way for too long.

Regardless of who is right or wrong that woman has a voice that would curdle fresh milk.

May I suggest she could get a job as the Tsunami warning siren.

Who said that Thailand is the 'land of smiles'?

 

This is uncivilized behavior, just call the police to handle this.

 

Beating someone is a criminal act, no matter what the reason is.

In my country beatings are everywhere at that hour and nobody stole nothing,  its a national  sport. Thailand is easy

All I am saying is, keep an open mind. 

 

 

All iam saying is if you do steal you may well get a touch up from some locals.

hahahaha. good effort by the thieving farang !!

We dont actually know if the accusation is the truth. Probably is but we dont have 100% certainty on that. Additionally, the accuser probably didnt call the police as they knew no one would bother coming and if they did it would be after a long delay.

NONE of us were there, so none of us know what happened.

But from what I see in the clip, the tourist seemed coherent (not drunk) and that woman-thing had a right gob on her. Several men walking buy with GUARD written on their backs, but then this guy gets attacked by Thai thugs (PLURAL) and let's face it we know that they like to get involved (only when they can outnumber a victim) even if they have no connection with the complainant.

If he DID steal from her, then he needs a slap from ONE PERSON, not kicked by a gang.

My gut feeling is that he didn't STEAL from her.

 

But as my first line states, none of us were there.

Sure, but maybe it was her trying to steal from him, and the rest of the show was the extortion part of the scam, using the threat of violence, and when he still refused to pay, then actual violence.

"another Thai man also appearing to join the fight, although it was unclear why."

 

You must be asleep not notice how much you are hated as a farang in Thailand. Microaggressions are a daily event, how surprised are you when it turns physical?

Thailand is a far right, conservative country, they feel threatened by western modernity.  They hate multiculturalism. They don't like farangs in their country.

The root cause is economic inequality.

If you have two drinks in a bar and the bill comes out for four drinks, and you refuse to pay for two of the four drinks, are you stealing two drinks from the bar?  Are you a thief?  Do you deserve to be extorted?  Do you deserve to be beaten up?  It's all your fault for not paying for the four drinks.  Right?  ????

Don't Australians come from British stock? Convicts? What a mistake the British made sending thieves to Australia and keeping the gentry in Britain. Thanks! ????

Australia is a multi-cultural country.... Very few with soapdodger heritage.

The Indian guy is claiming... “no touch, I did not touch”...

Meanwhile the screeching woman is saying “you no eat for free”....

 

Did the Indian man take some food from the street stall ?

Did the Indian touch some food at the street stall but not take it ?

Did the lady simply think the Indian man took food and was mistaken ?

 

The Indian guy seems very adamant he did nothing. 

The lady seems very adamant he did.

 

Either way, the Thai’s were way too eager to turn this accusation into aggression. 

This is where the police need to be around to de-escalate any situation such as this. 

 

Too many situations such as this in places such as Pattaya turn into someone getting their head stamped on or horiffic and completely unnecessary injuries when locals have seemed hungry to escalate something simple into violence.

Exactly... 04.30 on Walking St they should be about... if only to deter gold necklace snatchers.

Minimum wages is so low. Thailand is capitalist country and lot of people are screwed with corruption. They blame farangs. Same in the USA or UK. The far right blames immigrants.

So some drunk Thai woman, possibly on yaba, wrongly accuses a foreigner of stealing, causing him to be beaten by several Thai men, and it's the foreigners fault.  ????

 

We've seen this before with overcharging, bill padding, changing the price etc.  No way would a Thai food vendor try this on a drunk foreigner late at night.  ????

 

I came to Thailand at 23 years old and was way more badly behaved than I should have. One thing I learned is that Thai men don't like to get involved unless they feel they have to. 

 

If I had to put money on it, Id say yes, it was the foreigners fault.

I would like to see CCTV footage of what happened prior to what we see on the video in the link.

Same scenario to you.

 

If you have two drinks in a bar and the bill comes out for four drinks, is it YOUR fault for refusing to pay for the two drinks? 

 

Do you deserve a beating for refusing to pay for the two drinks?

 

Are you committing a crime, or is a crime being committed against you?

Thailand is an extremely violent society, best to avoid interacting with the locals who will stab their best friends/partners/parents to death at the drop of a hat..

 

As I have said before, don't stand in the way of a Thai and 1 baht.  They will kill you for it.
