"...what would you do, standby and watch or defend and fight for your friend?

No one has an obligation to respect anyone else and subjective disrespect doesn't justify a fight, nor physical defence, on behalf of someone else.

Yes it is!

D-

 

Must try harder.

 

bob.

If you were a foreigner and came into my neighborhood in the USA and caused problems

you would be sadly mistaken  if you thought you would be in a 1 v 1 fight. In fact, if you were from a rival

school and started a fight in the wrong area you might be in for a butt Whoopin'. This isn't unique to Thailand or the USA. People who were fighting with each other moments before will ban together to jump on a miscredant 

outsider.

 

The moral of the story. Don't be an ass. Play nice with others and don't disrespect LadyBoys unless you want a spiled high heel protrouding from your head. 

555. Nice. Now that's what you call a holiday. How does it change the Phuket hitlist? 

Why is your top article almost always about violence or outrage involving a foreigner, usually the one coming the act? Do you have some sort of agenda? Have you made some sort of pact with the BIB? 🫣

There's a very simple moral to this story, and that is that you never lay your hands on a Thai person unless you're invited to do so. Ladyboys tend to be very sensitive about this kind of thing and any perceived slight can set them off. We know they run in packs, so even just a moderate slap could invite some very significant repercussions. 

It's a pity your moral viewpoint isn't reciprocated when it comes to these freaks manhandling tourists against their will and thieving what they can.

 

You're confusing morality (ethics) and moral of the story (lesson).  There is nothing moral about what has happened here, but you should learn the moral lesson from it, even if it makes Thais look bad.

triggered by the man slapping one of the transwoman. 

 

A transwoman involved in the attack claimed that prior to the video, the foreign man was driving around the area on his motorcycle and kicking people at random.

 

Another witness said the man provoked the assault by causing a disturbance with the noise from his motorcycle. This witness also noted that the man had an injury to his head before the fight.

 

Either he was very busy being annoying (not impossible), or these people re going to great lengths to concoct a story that justifies a savage and sustained attack.

Please, stop calling those creatures woman. It's an insult to women.

It's good to see there was no report of missing gold mentioned  in the ensuing engagement  

The bloke in the frock, attacking from behind with his stiletto, should be ashamed of himself.. whatever happened before. ..

Waiting for the Brit* bashers and Katoey haters to all chip in.

Probably both 'men' were equally at fault, but the men in dresses attack in packs.

 

*before I get lambasted by you know who for mentioning a Brit because his nationality isn't reported, I know what I'm doing.... 😉🤭🥱

 

It's funny the way that the "farang-bashers" and Thai apologists work.  To them, this is probably a righteous beat down of the "farang scum" who was causing trouble, while the attack against the Thai tuk tuk driver who (allegedly) stole from the Brit was an unprovoked and vicious assault.

 

It's pretty clear what's really going on.

Nothing good happens after midnight and 5:30am sounds like “Handbags at dawn”.

Not a "woman" for effing god's sake.

No counterfeit Gucci handbags were damaged during the altercation.

It would be interesting to research into why ladyboys are so violent.  Could it be the natural aggression of males mixed with the entitlement of women to be violent against men?

Som nam na. Fat F*** he deserves more kicking slapping people for fun

The forum is foreigner-oriented and the articles are almost solely of interest to the foreigners that read it, that's probably why.

Stilleto shoes are a dangerous weapon.  I remember getting a few stitches in a local hospital when a couple of cops came through in a hurry. 

 

Apparently a guy tried to molest a girl/young lady.  She reacted by smacking him in the head with her Stilleto shoe. 

 

Left a good hole and blood was everywhere.  They found him hiding in a hospital toilet... blood trail was a giveaway. 

Stiletto is basically a blunt ice pick in structure… so you get a bigger hole on your head when hit only not as deep. 

2 Bitches even infighting on this site .

Grow up Ladies talks cheap.

I had a Ladyboy attack me Bangla Road with High heel took easy way out walked away. 

All because I wouldn't buy Shim a drink.

Get over yourselves Ladies 😂 .

BIB noticed problem & spoke with Shim apologised to me. Happy Ending for all .

No.  A gang of people beating someone is not self-defence.  It is an attack.  Most people don't launch a gang assault against someone simply for disrespecting their friend, hence it is barbaric.

 

You sound like you would attack a single person in a gang with weapons, so that's probably why you can't see why most people have a problem with this.

It is the suppressed male hormones exploding like a volcano when it peaked. Bolstered by the fact that they were cut some slack.  The fact that they are always armed with a stiletto shoe helps too.

The foreigner is the victim here.  It is of interest and it is helpful information. 

 

In just the last couple of days, you should have learnt to stay away from Thai tuk-tuk drivers and, if you have to use them, give them the exact change, and, now, you've learnt to stay away from Thai ladyboys.  (Or really just stay away from any Thais involved in the tourist industry outside tour guides and hotel staff.)

It's the nature of this particular "business" they engage in . After dark, approaching often drunk foreigners who don't appreciate their brand of attention/interference. For every happy ending. I'd suggest there'd be many more less so !

Despite his attempts to escape and the intervention of a Thai man, the assault continued, with the woman that he had purportedly slapped hitting him on the head with a high-heeled shoe.

 

I remember that a few years back, a similar altercation ended in the foreigner dying, the heel having punched through the skull.

 

This would be indeed an attack with a potential deadly weapon. I wonder if we will read more about it, as indentity of the katoey must be clear to police.
