I require the same clarification. OK look. I get that avoiding questionable places and groups of people, male and female is a good idea. Staying out of disputes not your own is solid advice too, especially here. My reactions are to the laughably fatuous advice to avoid ALL Thai men, at ALL times and places. Drivel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetpeter Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 At the least have your Thai GF call the police and inform that a girl is being attack by a group of men in the bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you and I have been supernaturally lucky to still be breathing. Of course I value his advice and it's worth every satang of the @2baht I never paid him. I'm leaving the country tonight, back to the USA where it is so much safer. Wait...... Hmmmm. S**t! Now I'm very conflicted and just plain scared. What to do? I know he was reprimanding your post. But I just couldn’t resist to let him know there are some extremely lucky specimen like you and me around who have been able to dodge the bullet so far. Apparently we’re like white elephants, very few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of a fair fight, one on one, is a recent invention and not as widely accepted as some seem to think. Maybe. Just call me a 'recent' guy.

As a tourist from a highly civilised country, perhaps he had no idea of the brutality that is so often seen or read by those who live here. Basically, he was living on a different planet by being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a real man amongst them Some very ignorant comments here as usual. Firstly they are not Thai. They are Tai Yai. They dont have Thai ID cards, the same rights as Thais, they have a different culture, language, music and are spread through southern china, Laos and Myanmar. The lovely Thai people accept them as sort of refugees. Secondly this is only 3 young blokes that happen to be Tai Yai. Your ignorance at not knowing the difference tells methat you have never even heard of them, so they are hardly the trouble makers you make out. I spent 2 months with a Tai Yai extended family in Fang, Chiang Mai. Lovely people and the girls are very beauutiful and exceptional love makers. They mainly work farm laborer type jobs and grow opium, which is what lead me there in the first place. A couple of different ways to have the opium but my favorite is they make these cigar type rollies and mix it with marijuana and another stimulant herb. A very relaxing feeling, especially when love making. Thirdly, i am sure is more to this story than theSwede is telling us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, junky usually refers to addicted people who inject. I was just blending in with the locals culture. Their language is similar to Thai, and they can mostly speakThai so it was easy for me. That you had never heard of Tai Yai people before doesnt surprise me. You wouldnt be able to tell the difference even if you met one. Go and have a beer.

If you are going to compare countries then give both figures, not one. Sixty isn't too bad though. That number die on the roads every day in Thailand largely due to incompetent police and poor standards needed to get a license. I'd say because of that Thailand wins in not being a civilised nation. You know, with its anarchy on the roads. Edited April 10, 2023 by Bangkok Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PingRoundTheWorld Posted April 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2023 Look at all the white knights here praising a guy who paraded around a questionable venue with a 2 baht gold necklace, then interfered in a situation he did not understand*. In any country this could land you in trouble, but in Thailand specifically interfering in Thai-on-Thai matters can easily get you killed. This is not brave - it's just stupid. He could've just called other staff, security, or police. * The full article states that the waitress did in fact know the attackers, and one of them even called her later. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 it's amazing to see a conversation about a Swedish guy being beaten by some Thai's degenerating into arguments about Thai Yai or Thai no Yai's or Thai Folks regardless whatever they are it should be on a different post, this post is about a Swedish guy that was attacked by a group of Thai guys 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be some merit to what you say but if my daughter was in the position as this waitress, I know who'd I'd rather was there to help her and it obviously wouldn't be you.

rabiedabruce Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Most should be aware of the fact that when the natives kick off, for any reason, just leave them to it. Yes even a 'girl who works in a karaoke bar'. She must be used to it by now and look for employment elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been attacked twice in Thailand, both time by groups of men from the UK. When I lived on Samui, there were alot of younger, very aggressive Brits living there or visiting, who were itching for a brawl. Had to stay clear of them. Sometimes they would attempt to chat me up, and I politely ignored them. You could spot them from 100 meters away, and it was obvious they were nothing but trouble. Likely even their mothers knew that. Some were fugitives and some were just thugs. Edited April 10, 2023 by spidermike007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
