[roo860]

Three security guards who assaulted two foreign visitors admitted that their actions were excessive, raised their hands performing the “Wai” gesture, and apologized to Thai society for their actions....

As I noted on the other (now closed) thread, this video will go viral internationally, and the reputation of the "Family Resort", where prostitution does not exist, is going to take a hit.

 

BS it will take a hit.

I have been to Pattaya, but not soi 6, and if you say it is family friendly and quality tourism, well

 

Case closed

Family friendly is a fair description most of the time, Families are welcome and not discouraged from visiting there,  in the same way that "dog freindly" pubs allow dogs in    what are you expecting a creche or maybe some swings and a roundabout?

Certainly a nasty kick to the prone guys head.  Could have killed him. 

 

When drinking, either pay as you go or check your tab each time. Simple way to track the bill.  And don't get so drunk you make an arse of yourself! 

 

The on call security will be rounded up and spoken to... A few wai's and a bit of tea money all will be forgotten. 

 

Next!

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

I think the bad guys in this instance are the security guards. Nothing worse than a security guard who can't contain his aggression, who goes overboard with violence instead of keeping a level head as the job requires.

Singapore isn't in favor with Brit tourist hooligans, however. Why is that?

is it popular with thugs from other countries?

Why are you glad? Because the guy in the white t-shirt refused to pay another customer's bill, and did not---as has been claimed---break any bargirl's nose?

 

I'm going to High Tea at the Oriental today. I might even sit and linger, ordering a bottle or two of '61 Petrus. I'll let the cashier know you are going to cover it for me.

 

I think Petrus will have gone way over his head

Well I was nearly 100% correct 

 

He we see 3 Wai's men... but not very wise.

I meant in the reputational sense.

 

If Pattaya's reputation is already lower than whale puke, then you are right.

 

I do think the authorities will be compelled to engage in some sort of damage control, as UK tabloids and other media probably cover it in detail. A Prefect Renault response is not going to be enough.

Then maybe a '59 Chateaux Margaux?

 

Personally, I'd prefer an '86 Biondi Santi Brunello.

 

Anyway, I'm going to add my suite to the bill, too. It's only 543,000 baht per night.

Khaosod reporting that the bar attempted to make the farang in the white pay another person's bill after he had paid his own. When they tried he refused, became annoyed and verbally abusive. Security arrived and then started fighting and assaulting the punters. 

So its about time some on here started retracting their bigoted uninformed racist comments, and started writing their public apologies in my opinion

Its okay, we have Different view on quality tourism. 

 

Im fine with that

I would imagine we have different views on just about everything, you must encounter many like me in that respect  I detest the term "quality tourist" nearly as much as the type of people who repeat it with boring monotony

The spliced video, which includes CCTV from the bar, does seem to suggest who threw the first punches, as it begins with the genesis of the seeming disagreement and the sudden appearance of the guards, all the way to the first punch.

 

I responded to that fellow not necessarily with proven facts, but an alternative to his apparent beliefs that the guys deserved the beating. The video evidence does not point to them deserving any sort of beating.

 

Unlike the poster to whom I responded, I'm neither condemning the guards nor the customers, but questioning his assertion that the Brits deserved it. Perhaps you will ask him why they deserved it.

Thailand - you have a great country with lovely people, but it is full or corruption and BS - and the majority of your tourists are not 'quality'.

 

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:

Apparently they expected him to pay somebody else's bill too   not to simple to check that eh?   Where does it say they were "so" drunk ?

I think '61 would be better for the Margaux; or you could try Monty Pythons recommendation of a bottle of “Cuivre Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga” ….. which has a bouquet like an aborigine’s armpit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

its a common response on here intended to gain "likes" from similar minded people, who feel there is nothing racist about constantly posting nasty comments about people, based solely on their nationality

Long time now. I guess nobody had an explanation, as it has become norm for the nation in almost all countries they visit.

That unnecessary kick is sickening and the culprit deserves some serious charges against him. 

The final “penalty” kicker just wanted to impress the audience, and a bigger piece of the “teach the Farang respect” heroes pie.
I hope he can eat from that, a decent time long, in a peer group at BKK Hilton, or any other <deleted>hole.

I wonder how Mr "ice " got his name? certainly not as a reflection of his demeanor but very possibly as a result of his penchant for an illegal substance judging by the behaviour

 

Sorry, a poster of your hard-nosed skepticism always demands clear and irrefutable evidence before making any accusations. Unless perhaps against Thais? You, now, can't just "judge by behavior" Mr. Ice has any penchant for illegal substance. No, you absolutely MUST see a video of him actually consuming it. Then you can make that accusation.

Do you think the spot kicker has outdone himself this time?

 

So much so that even 500 baht and an extended wai wont get him out of hot water?
