Never get involved in a domestic, IMO. Seems it never works out well for the one interfering.

I would have saved her, properly.  Knocked him out.................. cold.

Then he and she would have made an assault complaint to the police saying you attacked them.

And you would have been charged, jailed, deported and blacklisted.

Better to mind your own business IMHO.

Agree, when out and about I have a steel baton in my man bag.

9mm was USA, now/TH, carry a blade.   As with USA, doubt if I'll ever need, aside from making a sandwich at the food court after buying a roll, pastrami & swiss from the market next door.

It's not like in Aust, US or other western places ....  Thai's won't get involved and farang shouldn't either.

It's cringing to see a thai beating up a gf or wife,   but the sad fact is if you intervene he may stab you or shoot you.   

If it's a woman being beaten I should intervene as any white-knight worthy of the name should. If it's a man being beaten it's all right. It only matters when it happens to a woman.

To make it short and to the point " BUTT OUT "

Metric system?

 

 

If the fight is in the condo building I'm living in I'm stopping the fight. 

If the fight is in the streets I'm calling the police and video taping the fight.

I experienced that a few times working, so therefor before you intervene in a fight, make sure she wants your help. Of course how op describe the situation, he did the right thing.

If the lady was very pretty and/or had a good body/nice boobs and he was very small & extremely drunk/could barely walk i might try and impress the bird if there was the off chance i could cop a feel afterwards. (with her permission)

 

Otherwise hell no, nothing to do with me.

Yes you are right,even the woman may turn on you if you hurt her beloved husband.

Walk away,this is Thailand and there are different rules here.

That's just your opinion, there's as much truth in my claim as there is in yours...no difference in the self-aggrandisement.

Dunno about involved in actual fighting just hands on separation,  intervened twice once in a soi and once in a restaurant.

 

I cannot ignore it, it's just who I am I cannot not do something.

 

Bravo! The days of chivalry have not gone forever. My two bob's worth? From my life savers experience in Australia some 55 years ago ( no fat soy boys then), a chin grab from behind followed by a quick take down gives one the element of surprise. Such a hold was necessary to rescue a panicking patient in the surf. With the agressor being totally surprised at being incapacitated, albeit temporarily, one would hope that onlookers would show some initiative and provide assistance. If none is forthcoming, then the only alternative is to subdue this coward physically. Eyes, ears, nose and throat all provide targets for hands and fists whilst simultaneously applying the leverage of your knee on his chest. Once the assailant recognizes your intentions are only a little less than murderous, and he is distracted with the pain and humiliation,it's time to exit stage right, quickly and without fuss.
