Finnish man accused by neighbours of insulting Thai people

[ningnong]

To be clear he is buying the cheap Thai whiskey laocow, way stronger than beer. Nasty stuff and drinking it in very hot weather is not very clever. He is already drunk when buying the bottle in the video. Drank that bottle too and then returned to the store clearly looking to be pest.

I'd suggest the Thai response was quite restrained

Broken jaw? Yeah right you believe he tripped and fell on his face.. You are definitely not an apologist.

 

Also, you may argue, even though you negate the obvious, about Thai xenophobia, so feel free to substitute "xenophobic, savagery" by something like "uncivilised savagery". I'll leave you now  with the pleasure of pointing out the pleonasm.

He deserved it. Abusing women, ripping off a shop.

Have you seen the video? 
 

He had already got away with being a dickhead even after a machete was shown to him. He had safely returned home.

 

Then he decided It was a good idea to return and continue insulting them, and abusing them specially the female shopkeeper. With kids present.

 

I’m sorry, he had it coming, he should have seen it coming from miles away, and he is an absolute tool. 

 

Also in a way he is lucky it’s just a broken jaw, he could well have been stabbed and/or killed.

He started it. Stole whisky from a shop (under paying is theft), abused multiple people including women.

 

You defend this scumbag? Unbelievable.

Since I understand very little Thai. What does she say about the bruise on her arm?

where have i defended him ? 

 

i am simply stating that the violence used here is disgusting and shows a great deal about the people involved. 

 

primitive people.

He got kicked a few times. Hardly near death. He is a thief, a drunk and a moron. Got what he had coming.

The farang is primitive. Steals, lies, abuses people, gets drunk and harrasses women.

 

Yet you defend him.

He probably deserved to spend a few hours at the police station to be charged for disturbing the peace.. I you come from a lave where justice relies on corporal punishment, flogging, stoning, etc..

Violence should never be used. In the perfect world. But we don’t live in a perfect world. 
 

And it’s also not like this guy got his dose of violence served gratuitously. He went looking for it, when he could have stayed home sleeping off his laow kao hungover. 
 

Can you imagine what would happen if you replicate his behavior in Compton?

In the USA he could have been shot.

My wife says he said "kuuai" not "kwaai".

It would be highly unusual for a group of Thai people to attack a foreigner. Extremely unusual. Might there be something else going on here? Some bad blood? 

 

It does help to be courteous and respectful to the locals. And a smile and good cheer goes a long ways here. 

Yes I agree 200%.....in the last 20 years I have never seen any kind of problem myself....not even an ugly word. Of course this can be an exception and all the racist anti Finnish Thais were concentrated at this place.
BUT it could be also that he was one of these Farangs who always claim how incompetent Thais are and how superior their country is...and that in a loud voice....and often not forget to also insult religion, country, history and royalty.
Might not be the case here......but I have never seen some unprovoked violent against foreigner Thais, and I have seen a lot trash talking Farangs.

They aren't attacked because they are foreigners , they are attacked for being aggressive towards other people and their nationality is irrelevant .

   They caused the trouble themselves

Really! You have basically one report from mostly one prespective. It is a very sorry state if you thing anything justifies a beat down in a shop with a weapon welding pack of rabid drunk animals. I'm ex army and it could be said my voice is quite loud and I've never been attacked like that anywhere else in the world. I would disagree on this occasion and put racial jealousy right at the top. I shocked you would even try to justify this attack. Good luck in Thailand and hope you are never featured on here after a rabid pack attack for accidentally daring to offend LD Syndrome male in passing..

Jesus Christ, man. Him being attacked for "talking loudly" was a lie told by his wife. Watch the video linked on page 9. The guy was being an absolute tool and was looking for trouble. He was asked repeatedly to leave, but refused and continued to abuse the people there, in front of children.

Watch the video & see the way he threw the plastic bag, clearly in anger. 
 

If his body language was anything to go by his verbal language was poor. 
 

 

This wasn’t just a guy with a loud voice, it was a drunk guy throwing abuse as the shop keeper & behaving extremely poorly.  

Does it warrant a violent response?…
… it shouldn’t, but how many of us would have stood by and accepted that behavior if it was our wife he was insulting ?

I don’t see racism here, I just see a response to a guy behaving very poorly.

 

Many of us have been here long enough & mixed with Thai’s sufficiently enough to know guys (Thais) like this are perfectly fine, they’ll say hi, invite you to drink with them etc be respectful & you’ll revive the same respect in return, act out  and the response will be different.

Personally, I have never felt threatened. I have seen a shooting here, and seen a number of fights, while on Samui. It is nearly always Thai on Thai, which is not my concern. I keep my nose clean, tend to show respect to the locals, and know how to avoid confrontations. The few times I have been faced with a very angry local, I have offered a sincere apology, a deep wai, and they backed down. Never had my house robbed, or a car or motorbike stolen. Never been robbed on the street here, in well over a decade.

 

I have been threatened by a few hotheads on Samui, but after showing them some respect for the perceived slight, they always backed down. Attitude and a show of respect, are 95% of the trick here, when it comes to dealing with the locals. 

 

[bunnydrops]

None of us will know what really happened. He was a big man compared to the Thais around him. He already had shown his "personality" Did the Thais push first or did he? Maybe the Thais were defending themselves, and maybe he did fall on his face.

Now Mr.Ex-army if some drunk dude came and treated your wife this way, you shake hands or you show him your military training?

 

 

Also falling and breaking your jaw specially while drunk isnt sonething unheard of. I’ve seen a light push resulting in a fall, brain bleed, death.

I never even had a confrontation. I threat people "normal" the same way I would like to be threated. Had only positive experiences in 20 years. But also I don't discuss with locals about politics....Would I be a tourist in USA I would not tell them that I think that either Republicans or Democrats are better. It is normal behavior to avoid such topics with people who aren't close friends. But I have seen lots of Foreigner who explained me loud and in English in public places how bad Thai people are in various versions. I guess 99% of the Thais will think "let that idi*t talk, it doesn't matter", but if there is alcohol around some may freak out.

I have heard multiple shootings...almost daily in Nakhon Si Thammerat during Thaksins war against drugs....that why I oppose his party so much. We had money stolen in the company. But such things happen not only in Thailand...also in Farangistan.

"kwaai" Buffalo, "kuuai" a rude word Thai insult meaning "prick". He seems he did know enough Thai to get his feeling across.
