Patong – An Australian customer has been arrested after being involved in fighting with the foreign staff of a bar/restaurant in Patong.

 

The Patong Police told the Phuket Express on Tuesday (March 28th) that they have arrested a man identified only as Mr. Karen, 34, Australian national.

 

Mr. Karen, who was a customer at the restaurant, was disappointed and upset that he had to wait for food and threw a bottle at foreign staffers who were legally working identified only as Mr. ALOMARI, 25, Jordanian national and Mr. Ahmed, 26, Egyptian national before the fight started.

No, neither did you, but I did see someone with a burger flipper/spatula.

 

Some would come to the conclusion, if viewed without bias, he was in the middle of cooking when it kicked off and eventually went to see what the hell was going on given that logic dictates a spatula isn't the first thing you'd grab to defend yourself/attack someone with when in a kitchen stocked with far more appropriate implements if that was the intent.

Again, self haters on here! I did not see the start so the bottle is a big ? What I did see was a pack of feral animals with some attacking him with weapons including it who comes out fom behind the counter and yes he is tooled up. A note: a 3.5 inch wood rod that's only a half inch in diameter is deadly and a very effective weapon.

What's that got to do with the Australian asking to see a work permit??? Read the quote and my response! And please, no need to hate yourself! ????

Let me attack you around your face with a metal spatula and see how you fare, he armed himself with a weapon, held it in his hands for sometime throughout the video-that shows intent.

An off topic post has been removed.

Looked to me Mr. Karen had at least two falangs helping him out.  The timid one in the green shirt and the more active red shirt/grey vested guy.  Why is it always six foot falangs attacking five foot locals?

It's a nothing-burger flipper.

 

Some of you chaps really need to get a grip. So a drunk Aussie gets the strop on in a Patong bar and gets his ass handed to him.

 

Next...

Intent to do what? Protect himself?

He's 'tooled up' with a burger flipper?

 

Honestly, are you really Scottish?

And is Karen really an Ozzie? Not bloody likely! 

The Habib brothers maybe in for some long time pain if their work permits are a bit dodgey.

like their customer relations

He wasn't even in the fight, he was following it around with a weapon in his hand, could have just as easily have walked away if he was worried.

 

You have to do better than that m'lud.

So the Australian guy should do the job of IO's. If no permit then OK to start a brawl? Not sure of the connection on that

If not Patong then Pattaya so it's all the same. Worthless tourist acting badly 

Fail to see how fast food is not a 'thai only occupation' ? Are Thai that lazy they need to import Jordanian burger flippers

Sounds like he has a fair bit of Thai blood in him:

 

"Karen reportedly admitted to starting the altercation but blamed alcohol and said it was out of character for him."

I'm not seeing any farang involved in that scrap. The only farang I spotted are the couple in the background enjoying the show.

it's a kebab shop not a burger joint

Aside from the ruckus why /who allows foreigners to gain work permits to flip burgers? I'm sure Thais must be capable of doing it. No way can I see a foreigner doing burger flipping legally.

And all the time I thought that Australia was an entirely civilized country.....

Perhaps thinking is your problem. One fool doesn't change an entire country's culture.

Unfortunately, all countries produce young drunken idiots, even "civilized" Canada. 

Canadians are not normally known for bigotry, I guess you have just changed the perception of your country as being civilized!
