However, you can do a lot to avoid being assaulted: don't enter dangerous areas late night till early morning. And don't get into brawls with Thai men. Don't act like an idiot. 🙏 He may not have known it was a dangerous area, its not exactly mentioned as such in any TAT brochures, and not all here are seasoned veterans or bother with this forum. Where does it state he was acting like an idiot ? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be perfectly acceptable behaviour for some on here , especially when the victim is British. It seems that its perfectly possible in these circumstances to behave in a racist manner without being accused of , or considering ones self to be racist, Had the victim been a member of one of the UK's increasingly "diverse communities" many would refrain from the victim blaming comments, unfortunately for the victim he is a white british male who was not explicitly described as the member of an alphabet group . So he's fair game, had he been black and gay it would of course be completely different 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) 4 hours ago, steve187 said: what normal tourist/expat is out in a well known nightspot area at 4.40am What has that got to do with being stabbed by five men? Surely the tourist is entitled to be wherever he likes whenever he likes on vacation. I can think of plenty of reasons why a foreigner might do an all nighter. Get sick of reading comments suggesting the English guy is at fault. Edited May 21 by Spock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s you who needs to explain how a person can walk around in Thailand and do nothing to anyone and get stabbed. Because that never happens. You need tdo swap who needs to explain themselves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai culture is the best. we should all follow their lead. honestly. no kidding. bob. And you even add your first name at the end of your drivel. Oh well.

sambum Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Why doesn't the headline read "Five THAIS arrested in Patong stabbing of British man"? Every other nationality is normally mentioned in the headlines- especially if they are "farangs"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been an argument during which he used the usual for letter words. I suppose it will come out which is the son of a policeman.

You've been here long enough to know that once the police take you to court you ARE guilty - even if you're not, and pleading guilty gets a 50% reduction in your sentence! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
