This is the part I don't get.

Food cart prices?

Could have been settled for a couple hundred baht I would guess.

Cheap price to avoid a beating.

It was probably more like a 50 baht bill.    If that was me and even if I was 1000% convinced I was in the right, I would have just given her the cash regardless to avoid the inevitable conflict.   Some battles might be worth fighting, but a 50 baht bill is definitely not one of them.

The guy doesn't know that in Thailand the moto sai boys supply protection.

You live in a fantasy world of Cowboy movies. Men defend their women- that's what these guys did and in the  process looked  after each other. Well done lads.

When these guys batter a drunk lout I consider them to be defending me and my interests. He is lucky he just stole  from her and did  not hit her.

How many Thai "man boys" have you hugged today? 

None. Why would you  ask that? I think a stupid  man, probably a thief, learned a lesson. Next time pay up and don't think you can  bully a Thai  girl just because she's smaller than you!

[Thingamabob]

This started for a reason, namely money owed but not paid. Always leads to big trouble in Thailand.

" It was unclear whether the woman’s claim was true or not, but many tourists both foreign and Thai were surely appalled at the incident, TPN noted."

 

Did you even read the story?

I've seen drunk foreigners a hundred times. Not enough get battered.

If sensitive folk don't  want to  be upset don't look at 4 am fights

Seems you are in provocative mood of late. What happened? 

[JackGats]

This is why I always try to pay for food or drinks as soon as possible.

 

Once in Brazil I walked away assuming my wingman had already picked up the tab. The misunderstanding was obvious and nothing happened.

 

I once walked away without paying at Swensen's (Big C in Pattaya). I must have acted and looked conspicuously absent-minded because they didn't even raise a fuss, just called me to my senses while I was drifting away at a very slow pace. Another time I'd taken a SongTaew to the Bangkok Bank branch after suddenly noticing I'd just left my debit card inside the ATM. I was in such a panic about the card I stepped away from the SongTaew without paying for the ride. Could have got nasty.

 

I am the dreamy, absent-minded type, especially when I have a lot on my mind, and as I go out to eat and drink every single day, the odd mishap is bound to happen sooner or later. Scary.

Even still.... could have been settled for a very affordable amount of money.

Sometimes acceptance of the situation and looking at what is in your best interest isn't gonna lead to standing on principle.

Too many farang don't want to  lose face and think Asians are weak and mild mannered.

If you know that about yourself you will pay up when asked I'm sure . Don't worry. Even if I was sure I had not eaten 50 baht of food I would  pay anyway because know how poor these vendors are, how hard they work and how difficult the last two  years have  been. I would err on the side of mercy, be gracious and give her a tip. This farang didn't want to lose  face BUT you  gain  face by yielding in Thailand.

All the more reason i am normally in bed early.  How many of these type incidents seem to occur well after midnight?

[The Hammer2021]

Two threads same subject: I wonder why?

[JimTripper]

You never hit anyone over a bill or yell at them like that. It's a civil matter, you can get the police. You don't know why he did not pay, it could be anything, a medical problem, finding a finger in the rice, or just being drunk.

 

The lady and others here are in the wrong even if the guy did not pay.

Did he actually steal or what..... ? Not seen a good account of what preceded the argument. It wouldn't be the first time....  I saw a young Russian getting it for removing bills from his cup and balling them up and throwing them away under the stage, back when we got tourists. 

[Cory1848]

What seems to be a bad karaoke version of "My Heart Will Go On" was playing in the background during the fight ... just precious ...

[pixelaoffy]

Just remember Thais will get involved beating up on a falang in a 1-1   even if they don't know what the issue is.of course in a group.  1-1 ..nah cowards to the core

Perfectly normal in Thailand. See a foreigner in an altercation and join in against him, regardless of who might be right or wrong and it being nothing at all to do with those who join in. And all over just a few Baht.

Because Thais stand up for each other no matter what. Of course that come as a shock for us Westerners, in our countries you could die on the pavement and people would step over you and pretend you don't exist.

Thais may gang up and help their friend and fight 2 against 1 , but they certainly wouldn't assist anyone who was in need .

   Here in Thailand people would step over you in the street and ignore you , whilst in the Western World its more than probably that someone would give you assistance

That's certainly not my experience of 13+ years.
