Yes. Thai people think of us all as "farangs" . Every grumpy old guy who behaves in this kind of arrogant over entitled way reflects badly on *all* of us. 

 

This is not our country. At best, we're guests. At worst, we're ' economic migrants'.  Sometimes I get the impression that not a few folk on here have forgotten that. 

Not all Thais think all farangs are the same.  They know the nice good farangs, that are happy, good hearted, try to learn the language, get along nicely with their Thai neighbors and then there's the angry grumpy farangs.

Why?

 

Because you can't usually take a dog to a regular cafe🤔

What is the purpose of a dog cafe?  And what sort of demented folk go to them? You might as well sit on the pavement of any soi in Thailand. 

Obviously a dog hater.....and visits a restaurant where dogs are tolerated! Stupidity and ignorance

Risky choice of venue for a first date. 

British man throws glass at Thai woman in anger over dog barking

A Thai woman demanded a British man to apologise to her in public after he threw a glass at her in a fit of rage over a barking dog on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya on Saturday, March 2.

 

The Thai victim, Amavalee Tongfark, took to Facebook to share the abusive behaviour of the Englishman, identified as Sam, and urged netizens to help her locate his address. Amavalee shared pictures and videos of her injured arm.

 

“Please share this post and help me look for the foreign man. He physically assaulted me by throwing a drinking glass at me on Jomtien Beach in Pattaya and fled the scene. We never had a conflict with each other. His Thai wife, who came with him, told me that he was a British national named Sam. He fled from the scene when we were waiting for the police on the beach. This is unfair!”

The 37 year old victim later gave an interview with ThaiRath about the incident in detail. She explained that she and some friends went to a pet-friendly coffee shop on Jomtien Beach on March 1. Many customers brought their dogs to enjoy the beach vibes.

Amavalee went on to explain that she and her friend played with another customer’s dog, which started barking repeatedly. The British man sitting behind her became angry and threw a glass at her.

 

Amavalee said she rushed to ask the Englishman the reason behind his attack, and he said, “I don’t care!” She realised that the assault might be rooted in the dog and told him that the dog did not belong to her. The man responded, “If it’s not your dog, then sorry.”

 

Alcohol and medicine

 

According to Amavalee, the foreign man offered her money to end the issue but she wanted him to wait for the police at the scene. The foreign man did not follow her request and drove off with his wife and friends.

 

The British man and his Thai wife surrendered at Na Jomtien Police Station yesterday, March 3, but refused to give an interview with the media.

 

Amavalee provided an update stating that the Englishman told police that he was intoxicated from consuming medicine with alcohol. The foreigner agreed to apologise to the victim but refused to issue his apology via an interview with the media.

 

Amalavee insisted he apologise to her during the media interview. However, she did not disclose whether the foreign man agreed to her demand. Furthermore, she did not provide any updates on the legal proceedings or the compensation she had requested.

Try a "Cat Cafe".

 

Reeks to high heaven of cat pi55.

 

Won't do that again!

The picture is misleading, that's not a cut, just a trickle of blood.

 

I find it pathetic these people that need their wife to stick up for them.

I just got home after 2 weeks holiday in Pattaya and its very unlikely i will ever go back again , each year the place just gets worse IMO . Chiang Mai is only 2 1/2 drive from home instead of 9 hrs to Pattaya so much better for me anyway .

MY point is, many male foreigners in Thailand are elderly people whom have no option but to let their much younger Thai partners stand up for them.

'Englishman Sam ran away'.. thats odd! 

No it wasn't me  🤔

The dog was most probably Russian 🤔

news stories like this and rising anti-foreign sentiment are our new reality. There is a time when rare behavior like this was dismissed as an outlier. not so much anymore. it is all fuel to the fire.

Its for those people who like dogs but live lifestyles that aren't conducive to dog ownership, or live in small apartments and the owners aren't selfish enough to also squeeze a dog in there, but they like dogs, so get to play with some at a dog-cafe. 

They have 'cat-cafe's to etc (the idea originates from Japan where there are lots of pet cafe's).

 

These are also cleaner animals (had all the jabs and delouced etc) - so they are also good for kids to play with.

 

 

Why a grumpy old man would be a dog cafe is somewhat beyond me. 

 

 

Ok blow it up as in Phuket...Good for Tourism, the new soft power of Thailand

The Thais love a bit of sarcasm as much as anyone. They used the same phrase with the Swiss guys visit to the cop shop.

 

The officers on duty certainly found it amusing.

It sounds like the start of a joke or a riddle.

What do you call an Englishman who throws a glass?

Why is a raven like writing des?.

Or something...

Now , we just need one or two more falangs behaving badly for the media and we will hear the PM proposing that Thailand can be the hub of the groveling apology.

his pathetic excuse - which I don't believe for a moment - is exactly the same pathetic whining excuse from the kicky guy - neither have the guts to own up to doing something wrong.

Big men when attacking women. Bully boys. 

I see a lot of calls for deportation.

Why not? :

stoning, could have community participation.

or save up a group of offenders and have group crucifixions, could sell tickets.

 

Deportation is so boring.

(for the benefit of the thick and slow, JK).
