Good luck in Bang Kwang (Bangkok Hilton). What a stupid fellow!

Let him stew there for a week to contemplate his actions before payment of a fine for the damage and a 10 year blacklist. Time to set a public example as a deterrent. The nonchalance of him as he just strolls away as if nothing happened., what a w..ker

My niece who is an ER nurse told me she has seen many people overdose on ganja, having to be physically restrained with straps to their gurney. These people had to be given a shot of a sedative to keep them from hurting themselves and others.

utter rubbish

They put a cup of hot coffee in a plastic bag.  I would be furious too.

Tell that to the staff who were concerned enough for their own safety they felt the need to exit the store. Only one person who could have harmed others in this incident. 

 

 

Nobody and nothing was harmed.

Less than 5 mins to pick up the 2 trays of sweets he threw on the ground.

It's a trivial offense, in the west the police wouldn't even come.

Can't understand all the hate towards white men shown on this forum.

Nobody cared about the naked Thai guy running around the 7-11 last week.

And who will have to pay the cost of his "trivial" offence.

 

I suspect that it will be the 7/11 staff on duty.

Picking up 2 trays of sweets and putting them back on the counter doesn't cost anything.

(did you watch the video of what he did?)

I'm correct.

 

It seems every other day there's a negative article about a Brit.

 

or the Dutch ...........

or the French ..........

not to forget the naked German ..........

And the Chinese are always killing, kidnapping and running gangs.

 

The big crimes are always Chinese.

Why do you think the staff felt the need to leave the store ?  Fortunately their actions pre-empted possible harm to themselves.

 

Personally I dislike anti-social aggressive behaviour by anyone regardless of colour, nationality or sex.

Looks like he smashed the glass door too. That'll be a few 1000 baht.

 

EDIT: On second looks that seems to be liquid rather than broken glass.

I suspect this young beer monster fell foul of 7/11's ridiculous alcohol serving hours. I drink about 2 beers a year and still nearly had a fit when they refused to serve me at 1 minute past 2 oclock or whenever it was.

The legal hours that 7/11 can sell alcohol are 11am - 2pm and 5pm - 12 midnight.  I find that the most strict adherence to the law is by foreign owned companies.  I don't even think the cash register system for 7/11 will allow the franchisee to ring up sales of alcohol out of hours.  If a franchisee were to be caught selling out of hours -- they likely would potentially be at risk of having their franchise terminated by 7/11 corporate.

@SunnyinBangrak Either that or have the wrong price labels on something or not getting the deal they're promoting. etc, etc, etc.    And 7 staff are the worse when you point that out, they just look at you dumbstruck.     but he still had a completely OTT reaction. whatever it was.

Probably due to language issues , for many on here this is their only source of news, If they could drag themselves away from their keyboards for a few hours a night and perhaps enjoy the dramas that unfold on the  TV news. (Amarin TV and Thai rath  are my personal favorites)  It might help them put things into perspective a little, when they see some of the horrific and gory incidents that the Thai police deal with on a daily basis

As you correctly said a trivial matter such as this is hardly worth a mention in the great scheme of things.

Quite a few on here appear to have lead very sheltered lives

@BritManToo I beg to differ on your opinion that this was a trivial offence. The Thai staff, likely very young, must have been <deleted> scared to leave their post on this idiot's behaviour. If things like this are allowed to go unpunished then other moron's will think that they can do same with no consequences. At minimum, this was criminal damage - ripping out the keyboard and also threatening behaviour.

This is what has been allowed to happen in part's of the UK. My local Co-Op staff in a west London village now actually refer to their store as "name of village food bank" because so many thieves brazenly walk in, grab a basket, empty shelves (meat typically and some booze) before walking out not paying. Staff are told not to challenge so to avoid agression and situations like in this topic. I beleive that society in some parts of the UK is collapsing due to this. Let us all pray that it never happens here in Thailand!

I think Thai taxi/tuttuk drivers and bar bouncers waving machetes/iron bars are far more frightening than someone chucking packets of breath mints.

And nobody pays much attention to that, but maybe that's just me.

Yeah these days they crush up yabba tabs and sprinkle on the weed.

 

Back in my day we smoked "snow cones" with LSD or Meth mixed with the weed.

Just a young thug who thinks there are no consequences to his actions.

A year in jail in an 80 man cell and then deportation should wake him up

His insurance probably won't cover that kind of hospital stay. Money wise the chav would be better off in the prison.

[aussienam]

Bizarre behaviour.  The look on the young man's face, his mannerism, definitely something amiss going on upstairs in his head.  

I'd throw a wild guess at a schizophrenic relapse. Mix of alcohol and/or drugs perhaps with someone who has a mental illness.  Maybe off his meds for the vacation?  

Outcome for him likely going to be very unfavorable.

Well, they over do it don't they. Just as with alcohol. My wife's brother in law was in and out of hospital, ill through alcohol abuse many, many times until liver failure killed him at 46 years old. A funny, really lovely guy too. Never aggressive even when drunk as a skunk. RIP

Slide not push.  A Brit might recall that bookie robbery attempt scene from the movie Snatch where the nits think they are locked inside and then their comrade pushes open the door from the outside.  Great movie

[gk10012001]

Thailand 7 - 11s are  a blast.  Staff is usually very pleasant.  Some quick microwaveable snacks like burger kung are a cheap feed.  Quick small bottle of water, or gatorade on a hot day.  The gals behind the counter always helped me top up my phone minutes when I buy some more there during my holidays.

Just taking a wild guess here- could it be because they're literally everywhere in areas where tourists often are? I doubt there's something special about 7-11's that makes tourists want to smash. ????

Exactly. The guy is either drunk out of his mind or mental issues- point is he didn't actually attack or hurt anyone (that we know of). A simple fine and some compensation for the employees and for the damages caused should be more than enough. It's interesting how easily people on these forums call out "deport" and "jail him" for an offense that back in their home country would probably result in a fine or probation - if that.

Bingo. The responses here are specifically because he's a young white tourist. They wouldn't say the same **** if he was Thai or even another race tourist.

Strange, the guy didn't seem frenzied or angry in the video.

Seemed kind of matter of fact about what he was doing.

 

Go figure.
