Popular Post webfact Posted February 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2023 By Goongnang Suksawat Patong – A Canadian man who was allegedly attacked by a group of five men in Patong refused to pay for his food and drinks at a restaurant before the incident, according to the restaurant owner, who tells a very different story than the tourist. The Patong Police told the Phuket Express this afternoon (February 13th) that a restaurant owner near Patong Beach, identified publicly only as Mrs. Tuenjai, and three of her staff members met with police to give their version of events. Mrs. Tuenjai told police that the Canadian man refused to pay his bill, was heavily intoxicated, and shoved her staff. He also allegedly challenged staffers to fight him, which is when the attack that the Canadian man claimed was unprovoked began.

Popular Post Stargeezr Posted February 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2023 Canada is a land of immigrants, mostly, so just saying that not all Canadians are good people. Some very drunk tourists can be very hot headed and do stupid stuff that they would not do sober. I would believe the staff in this situation. I also have witnessed other drunk tourists acting like this drunk Canadian. Just saying. 5 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 So could it have been 5 restaurant workers who robbed him of 50k for the bill with a bonus Rolex? I see the police inquiry faltering unless someone mentions insurance scam ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritScot Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 That's some restaurant bill 55,000baht!!! I lean more to the tourists story. Thailand has a reputation of padding bills, ripping people off as with security or groups of Thai men beating foreign tourists men and women to an inch of their lives. Of course the restaurant will have a different story and security cameras will be broken. 2 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying ???? Even diplomats do it. However we all have stupid arrogant people that once in awhile we let out of the country. I tend to believe the restaurant. Whether the bill was padded or not you still have to pay or negotiate. Edited February 14, 2023 by kingstonkid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdemundo Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 IMHO best advice is don't get sloppy drunk in Thailand. I don't know if this guy was very drunk or not, but many of these stories start with this premise. If you are noticeably drunk bad guys are more likely to think they can cheat you and you won't notice. Also, it seems that drunks are more likely to erroneously think they have been cheated and cause a ruckus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANSIAM Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Cannot pay his food bill, once the polite Canadian apologizes deport him. Food bill is 5-10 times more where he's headed......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar1 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Too much booze, tends to not lead to anything positive! Especially in Thailand just saying! ????????????♂️ but again, why beat the <deleted> out of him? couldn’t they just apprehend him and call police? fact is they thrive on beating foreigners.
