isaanistical Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 You are surprised it made UK media but also surprised it didn't make local? I'm surprised you give a 4x, which is much more than I or any other self-respecting local would. Haven't read the link. Haven't read the Daily Mail for about 40 years (since I learned to read, in fact). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Furioso Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 Well, in the video at .40 one of the obese brits hits the Thai bouncer without provocation. He rightly got beat up in the process. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICU Kid Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Some good marketing points in there "Thailand's current military government has made efforts to clean up Pattaya after it was dubbed the 'sex capital' of the world and a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. However, the city's lucrative shadow economy based on sex, crime, drink and drugs has proved difficult to tame in the once-sleepy coastal city. A large number of British ex-pats have also set up bars in the sun-drenched resort, which has become an attractive place for pensioners to retire." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamyai3 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 The dialogue was unclear in the video, but it's likely that some of the following phrases were used: "Want some do ya?" "Reckon yourself mate?" "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough." "You're going to get your f***ing head kicked in." "Leave it Bri, he's not worth it..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 "It was not clear why the tourists were kicked out of the bar." How hard is it for the so called journalist to ask? Smells like shoddy yellow journalism. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pomchop Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 Yet another story of farangs with few too many drinks thinking they are some kind of tough guys not realizing that they are not going to fight one guy but the guy and lots of his buddies. Fair or not the farang is usually going to be maybe twice the size of the thai and think oh i can whip this little guy....big mistake. Hint: When you are in a bar that has four or five thai guys there with T shirts that say "security" it is not a good place to get into any kind of confrontation. It will not generally work out very well for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while, I was getting a bit bored. It's about bloody time we saw a naughty Brit, badboy story, thanks. This time it's father and son, great parenting obviously.
