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. 

I was in Patong a while about 12 yrs back. I live thé summer months in France. These thugs bought up half the  back streets of Patong with their scammed credit cards and drug money., worked openly calling out to people to come in, shisha  bars and dealing mostly. Seen plenty of those where I live, can ruin a place, gives a bad reputation. Their girls are bad ones too. The way they spoke to the Thais was disgusting, unfortunately I understood it all. Of course there are nice people everywhere, who live normal lives, work, bring up their kids well.  That’s not the Patong «  French » gang types.  Wait till the knives come out !

Correct.  There are groups of Algerian expats living in Patong who have bought up real estate and cater exclusively to these younger Algerians, renting them rooms, villas and the large, noisy motorbikes.

judging nationality by someone's name? really?!

A very depressing yet predictable comment !    This seems to be a standard diversionary and deflecting tactic employed by the usual "progressive"  left wing wokies  whenever those of certain ethnicities are under scrutiny,    The OP is about the reaction of Thai nationals to   dangerous and anti-social behaviour by foreigners in Thailand.. It is not about The "shocking" way a TVF member correctly identified their nationality using their name  

             If their names had been  used to correctly identify them as "White" British  for example,  would you still have felt the need to virtue signal. and make a cheap and pathetic racism jibe at a member who accurately  identified them using their surnames ?  No I thought not,  However if you wish to go further off topic don't let me stop you speculating about how their long term stay in Thailand might be at least in part funded by the state benefits that they receive   ( I don't care about the drug dealing)
