You call them fools in the same sentence that you use the "word" "exoplanetary"?   Brilliant.

It's a fragile ego culture from the top to the bottom.

The world hub of fudging it.

Complete shi_te.

foreigners know if they attack a thai it could be their quick exit there is no right or wrong to be found

The article itself doesn't say investigate, just found, visa checked and possibly fleeced, TIT.

Am hoping it will be Orcs

That's a n extremely unsafe assumption (there being no evidence of such a flight it cannot be a "presumption", either).

They lie anyway (best they learned to get away with any situation) if lose the face by evidence then "apologize" for misunderstanding ????????

Big Joke as you mock him is the only one of a few policemen that actually do something.

Believe me, he has his own agenda.

Please send them to the BKK Hilton.  There is always a welcoming party for folks who think they can attack Thais in this country.  It is not a nice party.

What happens when a group of cowardly Thais out number and attack farangs - very common, we all know the answer is nothing.

 

I find it amusing some Thais got a good kicking....

 

They're hunting the culprits down nationwide - spot the difference....

So much is missing in the article?

So what happen assumptions? 

Did a fight break out the loser reported it and big joke had to be called in?

 

If I was big joke in a land where loss of face they take the big off the Triad case and he flying around in a jet to solving a fist fight.  I like Big Joke to give me a call so I can explain how small this looks????

You obviously have not been here long.  Bug joke is anything but he is probably the most trusted cop by expat and Thais.

 

If he is involved then it'll be interesting to see what happens.

 

Smart move getting them off the island.

It could mean that he is an extremely funny fellow, the centre of every social group because of his infectious sense of humour, his spontaneous delivery of great one liners and witty retorts. Perhaps his rapier wit has made him the Oscar Wilde of the RTP. But I suspect your explanation is closer to the truth.

So why is it when I was hit by a car when riding, the car driver admitted fault and the cops said it was his fault too? Plus, what has your story got to do with this news report?

We really dont need to hear any Chinese Proverbs , they will be here soon enough they can tell us themselves just follow the flag for your lessons 

I suspect the Thai started the argument if not fight.

Why the big fuss?

If between Thais would these people get involved or is it an opportunity for free travel and MORE $$ expense claim

Thailand is a very corrupt country and it is wise not to trust the Thai people. Your story  concerning the lorry accident confirms my decision to install both a front and rear dash camera in my Thai vehicle. You can never be too cautious in Thailand.

So why is it when I was hit by a car when riding the car driver refused to admit fault, claimed I ran a red light and also claimed he was driving in a different direction. When cctv showed him to be a complete liar, he signed a statement admitting responsibility, agreed to pay compensation and was fined 400 baht. The day the first payment was due, he turned up at the police station and said he'd changed his mind and is was all the foreigners fault. I've never received a single baht from him.

 

We've all got different stories of things that have happened to us over the years here, none of them define the Thai people, there's good and there's bad.

According to an article on Thaiger they claimed to be part of a rich and powerful mafia group.  It started when one of the men stepped on the Thai womans foot and handbag while standing on a sofa to get a better view of the fireworks.

 

It does also state that other foreigners tried to help the Thai women and they were also attacked.

 

I'm not sure if you can Link Thaiger articles here so I did not.

The latest Thaiger story identified two of them as "Australian citizens." And says they poured beer over the mother's head. Australian mafia? Hmmm.

I noticed a very small private jet landing in Samui yesterday, looked much like a Cessna Mustang but can't be certain. Does this police chief travel by private business jet to investigate small time bar disputes and spats? Anyone know how he travelled to/from Samui?

Does it really matter that much to you?

 

After all, you won't have to pay for it.

Looks like the police already know who they are if checking their immigration status 

Does not bode well for them best they turn themselves in and give their side of the story

Foreigners who allegedly attacked a group of Thai tourists on Samui Island

Odd that they chose to use a still where it appears that the "foreigner" is the one who is being touched by someone else.

 

No stills of the actual assault?

Well done to you. Incidentally,in most countries (that don’t have such appalling road deaths as Thailand )any car that runs into the back of you is defined by default as being to blame . The rationale being 'you should always drive at a distance from the car in front that you should be able to stop in time '. This includes even if the car braked heavily,as well it might in an emergency. More 'Thai logic' if even your insurers initially agreed liability on your behalf? ????‍♂️
