That Facebook video is them on their way out to party, look at the sky, just gone dusk. Absolutely no way they would just walk away from a beating like that as if nothing was happening, It's still a mystery

The altercation was at 5 pm, when there is plenty of daylight. 

 

The video is at dusk, and car headlights are turned on.

Elsewhere, it is being reported that the guy who took a kicking to the head has died.

Bad reporting

And that will keep some bad guys out of Thailand because they know there are consequences for their bad behavior. 

This is absolute nonsense. A street beating will not deter bad guys. Bad guys like to fight. What it does is deter good, peace-loving people from visiting.

 

I'm sure security guards in your home country are trained and licensed. We saw beatings like this 40 years ago in Australia until they cleaned up the business. Back in the 80s there were deaths by security guards. In your home country, they would probably serve time for this (unless your home country is Zimbabwe or somewhere in the deep jungle) in addition to being sued by the victims. It does not matter how badly the customers behave.

And then, in your and my home country, there are laws, which are enforced by the police. In our home countries the police are not regularly paid by all those bars to look the other way. And the bad guys are punished in front of a judge, after they are arrested by the police. Yes, our home countries are different.

 

I came to Thailand before videos on the internet. I don't think I would not have visited Thailand if I would have seen that misbehaving aholes are beaten up. 

 

Living in Thailand for decades, I don't be afraid to go anywhere into a nightlife area, because I know the guards will make sure there is no trouble. And because I pay my bills and don't upset the girls, I don't fear any problems with the guards.

 

The Thai punishment system has one big advantage. Punishment is done within minutes. Problem solved.

The guy in the blue shirt really got away with it. He giving it the big one earlier on, even pushing that guy out - but when then it all kicked off he quickly 'sobered up' and suddenly wanted peace. 

 

 

Yes  wondering if he was with those guys  if so quite the friend.

"won the fight"?

 

This is exactly the stupid, stupid attitude that creates a murder case out of a drunken bar brawl.

 

For both the bouncers as the punters, this evening sure ended differently than they had planned beforehand, so no winners on any side. Albeit I hope the guy getting his head kicked in will recover and have a story to tell, namely how many more years the bouncer will be in prison (no high hopes for either outcome, after seeing the latest articles).

Not stupid at all it's reality . It would have been 3 on 3  and maybe they wouldn't have been kicked in the head.  He sure was active before the fight.      They aren't going to prison   and they have engaged in this behavior before.

Quality tourists in soi 6?

Sorry, never been to soi 6, but quality tourism or tourists doesn't strike my mind, 

So we agree - right? Thailand does not get a lot of 'quality tourists' unlike what the Junta TAT and now PT TAT claim is the case.

But we don't like any talk of attracting the big spending quality tourists who drive up prices of stuff. And the thought of tightening visa/extension requirements always causes screams, teeth gnashing, and soiled knickers.

 

If only we could figure out how to screen out the hooligans and admit only the sort of Brit not likely to engage in thuggery. Here's what we want:

Exactly.  The answer to your question by the way (at one of the TAT's many junket trips and conferences), was to spend millions of Baht publicising that in BS magazines and websites that Thailand is a 'quality tourist destination' and then ensure PBS, BP, KSE, NT, etc all regurgitate that 'news'.   Meanwhile in a publication not allowed to quote here, Thailand has dropped 10 places in the WEF World Tourist Index - mainly due to poor services, infratstructure, safety and corruption.

Maybe it's time to have foreign bouncers, better trained people, like years ago farang bar managers started appearing. Thais haven't got the language skills amongst other things

I think 'kicking the <deleted> out of foreigners' is one of those Thai reserved occupations.

You won't see quality tourism in Pattaya at large for many good reasons. They staycation in upscale enclaves/5 stars in areas like wongamat. Not sure if that's going to be enough to float the boat here or not for all the development?

Good to see. Hopefully he gets an MRI scan as slow bleeds on the brain can take a while to get serious.

 

Interesting that the guards still appear to be having ta go at them as they are leaving. As if the intitial beatdown was not enough. Real scumbags.

No, we don´t. We just have to show respect to them, as we also need to do to people in our home countries. You seem to come here with thought like all high chip on shoulder foreigners and think you have to walk on egg shell. Pathetic!

That's a good thinking! So move it, and save the culture of your own country, enough to do.
Lecture your country fellows, appearing not caring too much about “your” culture. Maybe they're stupid, or just too lazy. 
Or even better, all those, who are disrespecting it. Have fun! Lol

 

Instead of acting the "Besserwisser, Oberlehrer", about a culture which is not yours anyway, just to bash citizens of origins you don't like!

Btw, Thai authorities dealing with foreigners, who are breaking the law, like they do. Without asking for your opinion,
or the opinion of all these other pathetic, wannabe assimilated “blacklist-deport-jail-” them parrots.
Owning the competence, importance, and influence of a rice bag, which fell down from a shelf, somewhere in SEA.

Everyone knows that you aren't allowed to criticise anything about Thailand unless everything about your home country is perfect. Even then, if you choose to live in Thailand, it by default means that you must find it better than your home country, therefore you aren't allowed to complain about it.  🙄

 

It's incredible the way that some people view the world, especially when something so clearly and objectively bad is being discussed.

You seem to have great difficulty in choosing a descriptive

adjective other than "pathetic" in your replies to posts - that in itself is pathetic! And accusing people of not being capable of giving an answer when it would appear that they are far more capable than you are of posing an original question!

I'm here for 2 decades already. Just as information.

But it's a fact that's impossible for you to give an answer.

What is the reason? Lack of education? 

If someone does have a different opinion you will not talk to him?

You are strange, indeed.

I'm not sure if you can manage to fit in any society. Again: Good luck. 

If you need advice I'm here for you.🙏

Wrong again. It's not an accusation. It's just a fact that I didn't get an answer. You got it now??? 🙏

That's fine, but the reason that people object to things like this is that they have empathy for the victims and frustration at the system that allows it to happen.

 

The fact that these guys argued over a bill and one of them may have pushed a security guard in no way justifies what followed.

 

"I'm OK with it because I'm 99% sure it won't happen to me" isn't the way that everyone views the world.

 

This bad thing happened in Thailand, it was done by Thai people, it was done to foreign people, probably partly because they are foreign, and the response from the Thai authorities will likely be shaped by these facts.

 

All foreign people in Thailand are affected in some way by this event or the circumstances that led to it. Some people choose to ignore that, others don't.
