Several other people, including motorists and tourists, also stopped to watch. So, it took a Thai woman to try and help. All others just looked on and filmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradiston Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Opposite are 3 places I've frequented. The coffee shop usually has a number of foreigners enjoying a roadside cappuccino. The 2 restaurants are good Thai and Russian food places though I've not tried the Russian food. However this appears to have happened at night, so maybe the places were closed. Thai style attack. 6 onto 1. But the person filming seems unperturbed. Maybe he/she was directing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 They don't know when it took place, they don't know if the victim made a police report, they are interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lapun Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Not sure if my translation is correct but the bottom RHS has the Thai word ไหวัสวย = beautiful & a laughing emoji Not very "beautiful" at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actonion Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Perhaps these police walkabouts need to take place in Jomtien now, just to make the residents and tourists feel safe as they keep telling us, especially as these Thai's like to carry Guns.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was supposed to be ironic. It means beautiful "wai". I guess alluding to the guys arms being raised in a sort of wai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
