Why don't you stop taking them and stop posting complete bs as well?

No need to be insulting, thats the price in my moo ban.  Why dont you ask around before opening your mouth.

    Unprovoked attack, woman raped on Koh Chang, utter carnage on the roads, gun violence, etc etc  .....and TAT wonders why the Chinese (and others?) are not coming.   

  • Fifteen other Thais would have retalliated!

  • Uttaradit farang
    Uttaradit farang

    I’m sure if it was a Thai guy punched in the face and sustained a broken nose the police would have checked CCTV and had someone in custody now !

350 million in USA. How many have you met genius? And your comments are racist toward the person who was punched in this story as well. You should be suspended at least. 

I didn't count how many I met.

But I often read about 70million of them and their views...

 

And why is my comment racist? I didn't mention any race.

As far as I know many Americans with any possible skin color like to use 4 letter words. And they use them at home in the states and also in countries like Thailand. And some might be surprised that most Thais don't like to hear those words. 

Obvious I don't know if this was the case with this guy. But as mentioned many times before it doesn't happen often in this country that people get attacked for no reason at all.

Shows how "tough" these US marines really are. Runs to the massage girls crying for help after a punch.

 

If he was a marine he would have said so.

 

Ratio of support troops to fighting men in the US Army is approximately 10-1.

 

How "tough" do army catering staff/intelligence assessors/dentists/software engineers have to be?

I dont know for sure but imagined all US soldiers went through the same basic training, that they all had to qualify to a certain standard of 'toughness'?

B0llocks, Chinese visitors and other nationalities are still comming here in droves.

Grammer?  Would that be one of your parents' mother?

I find this a bit strange that he got punched just like that.

Maybe he looked at the Thai man in a strange way,I find that Thais don't like being looked at/ staring .

I highly doubt it was just a sucker punch 

Based on what?  You know him or you were there?

I think if the world next December and January nobody goes to pattaya, and that is the only way to teach them. And I mean nobody goes there. Readers, airlines, taxis, hotels and bar girls will all suffer until they clean up their act. 

Gawd.

Local males can be incredibly jealous of farangs

The attacked man is not a "farang", he appears to be black.

Regardless of circumstances, the farang is always wrong.

1.  That is urban myth b0llocks.

2.  He wasn't "a farang".

Maybe that Thai fellow was a copycat of the tall young Russian guy screaming and punching bystanders a couple of weeks ago, without the nudity, so not xxx rated .Or was he naked too. Probable not,or someone would have filmed and posted it.

Exactly, but the black dudes are rumored to have even larger drilling equipment. So envy, at least, might have set him off.

I hope he recovers OK and doesn't get get ripped of by the hospital, he should also go back to the massage place to thank them for a happy ending   :whistling:

It's all down to small willy syndrome.

No,   why would they ?

Because it is par for the course, here.

Perhaps my sensitivities stem from others who do stalk my posts and attack my opinions

Perhaps you're far too sensitive and don't realise that everything you post here, a public forum, is fair game for others to agree with or contradict with their opinions?

And I know that most Americans just know that they are god's creation and the best in the world and all that.

But people outside of America don't have this simplistic American attitude.

Thailand is in many ways a lot more civilized than the USA.

   I'm an American and what you say ^ is basically true but you lose credibility when you assume all American blacks are from the ghetto and say MF every other word.   Bigotry is not civilized wherever it rears its ugly head ,on the streets ,in politics ,on a Forum. Own it.

He displayed no bigotry in that comment and you need to own that.

Don't forget if he has defended himself every Thailand in the surrounding area would have joined in...they f**"""' hate us...and that's one of the reasons tourists don't go back.

But the tourists do go back...in their tens of millions so far, this year.

"You should be suspended at least".

If he "should be suspended at least" [sic], then you should be also, surely, as you're doing exactly what he is doing...expressing an opinion?
