Russian Tourist Physically Assaulted for Allegedly Refusing to Pay 60-Baht Bar Bill in Pattaya

send him to the front line

The typical moron response: "I'm not paying my bill becuse she didn't treat me right or "I puched him in the face because I didn't like the way he looked at me".  Unfortuantely Pattaya is littered with these middle-aged arrogant, self-entitled morons. Most probably the bar shouldn't have served him a drink in his state. All the same, no sympathy for this moron. He will enter the police station as a moron and come out as moron. No learning experience, you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

After Putin finishes his heroic and highly efficient conquest of Ukraine, Poland, Romania and the Baltics, watch out Thailand; Vlad's troops on crack, errrr, "crack troops" will show Thailand a thing or two...

Since the cowards beat in a group one old tourist they should close up the bar and throw the attackers in jail plus financial compensation for the victim.

Yes.  The tourist was drunk and very annoying and rude, but the staff at the bar handled the situation very badly. 

 

Imagine of this happened in a bar in the UK or America and the staff got in a group and beat up an elderly drunk Asian tourist.  They would be fired and face criminal charges.

It was more to do with the Thai loss of face thing than the money.

This is what I mean. Crazy Thais and it needs to change. There needs to be harder penalties for Thais who attack foreigners.

According to the story he attacked her first. You expect Thais to just accept that behaviour !

Don't be so one sided in youe opinion. I was in Pattaya for Songkran in 2013 and a Russian family were walking past the bar where we ( farangs & Thais) were enjoying the festivities with the water, and the daughter of the Russian was keen to participate and get sprayed with water. The father took exception and punched the young girl that sprayed his daughter. Needless to say all the Thais came to the girls defence and pummeled the father and restrained him until the police arrived. He complained about the water and was told by the farangs and the police that if you are in Thailand during Songkran and come out during the day expect to get sprayed. He refused to apologise to the young girl and was subsequently arrested and put in the paddy wagon. The Russian girl's mother was p'd off about her husband being arrested and started abusing the Thais for having her husband arrested. She was given a good soaking and told to p off. The daughter decided to stay at the bar and joined in the fun for the rest of the afternoon. Unfortunately, this is the way most Russian, Indian & Chinese tourists behave. They think they are superior to everyone else.

Was it a true bar tab and he trying to sneak out or a false tab.. My first time in Thailand many years ago I was hit with extras added but lucky for me I was with a lot of other Thais that stuck up for me.  So what is the truth.

Yeah, the staff had obviously padded his 60 baht bill, should have been 50 baht.

[Foghorn]

The police are going to charge the bar owner but we are not told what , I think charge money. 
why does most think that the bar owner is telling the truth , the bar owner assaulted the guy , opened bar after hours but is the honest type? Who’s never been blamed here by Thais for something that the Thais did?

This violence  is giving the Internatioinal family friendly resort of Pattaya   a bad image !!

No ,was you , think the reporters don’t exaggerate?  Think bar owner never lies? Why is only bar owner being charged ?

The staff look for victims to beat and then look for excuses after . Beating someone over 60 baht , why they not call police ? These honest Thais , how may people get beaten by bar staff every day , always a reason , Thais are violent when the odds are stacked 

[jeffriesbkk]

No sympathy.

You'd have to be desperate to end up in Pataya.  These sextourists never learn.

[Mickeymaus]

This quality tourist should be glad he didn't end up in a ladyboy bar...

[MRToMRT]

The great Russian Bear get his assss handed to him by a bunch of bar girls, another dent in their already failing national ego.

Soda or bottled water usually.

The last time I was in Patts (3 or 4 years ago) you could get a large Leo for 60 Baht!☺️

[jeffriesbkk]

Probably overcharged him with lady drinks and he refused to pay and walked out.

It used to be called 'padding' in days gone by.  Nothing changes in LOS.

Yeh same same, I remember one night a bar girl put her drink on my bin unbeknownst to me, and when I was given the bin, it said lady bar drink 200 baht on top of the 3 beers that I had.

I picked this up because I knew my bin should have been 360 baht vs 560 baht.

 

I know when I buy a lady a drink, anyway I said to the owner, I didn't buy a lady a drink, said yes you did, I said really, did you ask me when I was buying her a drink, did I acknowledge you that it was ok, which girl, I said, she go with customer she said and smiled, so I smiled back, paid my bin which included the 200 baht for the lady drink, no tip obviously and left abruptly, I wasn't happy, but I made sure I would get my revenge, you see my mates were arriving from overseas and within Thailand the following day to all meet up with me and I made sure that we sat at the bar opposite, all 8 of us drinking all night long.

 

The bar lady from the bar opposite where I drank the previous night came up to me, much to my surprise and said, you drink my bar yesterday, why you not come back to drink my bar with your friends, to which I replied, I told you yesterday that I didn't buy a lady a drink, but you said I did, so I paid you your 200 baht lady drink and now I drink here with my friends, my pen rye I said to her, to which she said, believe it or not, sorry, sorry, I understand, you can come my bar any time, you are welcome, to which I replied, thank you and she left, a few moments later I could hear her yelling and cursing a bar girl, it was on, probably the one who put her drink on my tab the previous night......LOL

 

Since that night, I have made it my policy that I pay for my drinks as I go, some bars don't like it and say pay later, to which I say, I pay as I go because that is what we do in my country thank you and they accept it, like it or not, I don't give a rats a$$, once bitten, twice shy.

You should have drunk all night long in same bar, but not pay any tips or buy any lady drinks. If you occupied all the seats so no other customers all the better.

That would have been on the bill, so how do you reckon that when the bill was 60 baht?
