French ? Not really. A look at their names and you’ll understand.  Patong is rife with these thugs ,they do what they like where they like.  They need stamping out, fast.

It is never a smart thing to engage in a fight with a Thai. If you win the fight, you lose. If you lose the fight, you lose. No way to win. Better to be an adult, and avoid confrontations, as much as possible.

One got an instant knockout by some Thai.

A bit blurry but looks like Thai boxing style with the elbow.

That goes to Phuket times Facebook page with the video. And indeed only a short video of an obviously longer ongoing quarrel:

About 5 seconds into the video the knockout and then three Thai bouncers(?) use the chance to kick the victim on the ground.

One day in that too distant future France is going to more African than European and when that happens Thailand's gonna notice and give the actual French the same visa issuance status as the rest of Africa.

Yep, but we the French, are guilty of tolerating the lawless culture of these goat boomboomers and their drug business  that finances their establishment in Patong.

Who could blame them ?   And it will be the same for the UK and all the other European countries that have been "invaded"

One? There seemed to be only one person being attacked. Someone who wasn’t previously involved at all just elbowed him, which then allowed the ‘bouncers’ to get their kicks in. Didn’t see a fight at all.

"A group of locals had approached the street racers and said that loud motorcycles, racing, dangerous driving, and general antisocial motorcycle behaviour was reserved for Thais only."

Video doesn’t tally with the headline or story at all….
