So even if in a hospital and after footage gone around the world and viral videos , the RTP state they cannot proceed until they get a formal complaint. The police are worse than the Keystone Police , whose bumbling efforts poured scorn on Law Enforcement in the USA. Now Thailand has its own version, called the Royal ( I will do nothing unless I have to ) Thai Police . Any foreigner hurt who does not immediately report the matter to the police will get NO JUSTICE  !! Even if lying in hospital on life support !!

Here is the Video that's go around the World

only watch if you are mentally stable

tourism impact

That's usually when tourist wear impractical clothing at temples,not for murder.

I am confused.

Isn't Pattaya is a family-friendly resort area now?

That's what the mayor said!

Again, poor logic from posters here and poor translation to english have caused people to jump to ludicrous conclusions.

 

Clearly the police are not pursuing the fight because the alleged victims have not raised concerns. Have you never heard the statement "the victim refuses to press charges" in the west for minor altercations? The police see it as a run of the mill fight with a bit of kicking. Everyone got paid or payback and the matter is resolved unless someone makes a formal complaint. Happens in the west all the time.

 

Now of course if there was a death or serious injury the police would investigate. Do you not see the difference in your statement?

 

Now, if the white shirt guy is in a coma, it should be reasonably easy to identify the hospital he is in. Has any press released a hospital name? if the white shirt was dead, the embassy of his nation would need to informed. Simple freedom of information request gets that information. But has that death been reported in the press?

 

Just idiots on social media and places like here with less than half a clue claiming hearsay and loss of translation as fact. Seriously, some regular posters have the comprehension of a child.

Nobody in ICU, nobody dead, the three of them walked away from the melee under their own steam!

I find this hard to believe.  In western countries, criminal complaints are filed as The People of the State of ___ vs. Foreign British Guy or whatever.  The plaintiff is the state, masquerading as "the People of the State."  If in fact this is the law in Thailand, woe unto wealthy single people without relatives, because you could kill them and steal all of their stuff because there would be no one to make a complaint.  

 

It is exactly the same here in Thailand, but as yet, no complaint has been made therefore no charges.

So video footage, witness statements, global viral news coverage about the tourism impact for the country not enough to get them going eh?

And you might perhaps be under the impression that this would thereby provide the lubricant for the wheels of justice to turn? Afraid we're in Thailand - the wheels have been welded in place.

 

The only possible outcome that would cause police to do anything about this would be for the person in the ICU to recover, make the charges, and then the men would be reluctantly arrested and charged. They would be subsequently released on bail, with an eventual notification that they should show up quietly at court. Unless the ICU fella decides he loves it here so much that he's willing to stay indefinitely and assign someone to sit daily inside the Pattaya courts, they'll whisk the lads out the back door with the case dismissed before it's even brought in front of a judge, with brown paper envelopes passing from bar to plod and all happy about the outcome. Oh, other than the poor fella in the ICU. But then again, stupid to argue bills in girly bars, only one likely result and this is it.

Wrong video, there is a full 5 minute length video which starts in the bar and ends with the kick in the head, but not allowed to post it here.

Looks like these thugs will walk, and we know what happens then... they will be free to hurt and probably kill someone else in the future. 

Yeah probably kill those who refused to pay their bills...

So if a guy steals a car and is view on cctv do we wait for the car to make a complaint. I think not

The onus is on the owner of the car making a theft report or an investigating officer IO being assigned by his superior after the cctv was viewed for the case to become ‘alive’. This being Thailand , it depends upon how much damage is done to pattaya’s reputation as a family resort city.  Better to just let any red light night club brawl died down quietly than to prolong it in the public’s eye.  The mayor may not be pleased.

You are misinformed.

In cases where the person can not file an official complaint (eg.: death of the victim), the court can act on their behalf trough the public prosecutor.

Once out of intensive care, that’s probably a good idea.  For one of them anyway.

 

My understanding is that, contrary to reports, they got up and walked away.  Is there anything from a reliable source that says otherwise?

Just to be absolutely clear, I think the attack is sickening but these guys would be best to leave it at that

Here's what I do:

 

Pay each and every time I order  drink....  Never have a bill.....

Quite hard to do when in ICU....

Not if being in ICU is just a rumour, started by hearsay and, so far, unconfirmed.

No, there isn't.

 

It's mentioned on the previous page that video exists of them leaving the scene and reportedly later on crossing Pattaya Klang under their own steam.

Where is he in ICU?

Went there once with a couple of mates, the music was so loud we didn't even finish our beer before check binning and leaving...

I did watch the video. Over the top response by the guards. Here’s the thing about Thai law, evidently. Need to have the offended party bring a complaint against someone. OK, I can understand this although … I come from a heritage where if this had so publicly taken place, the legal system would move to arrest and prosecute the perps in the name of the citizenry. The thought being that the disturbance and affront was made to all citizens in an orderly society. I think a bit of irony as many of us feel such an action as done here certainly has caused harm to the country’s reputation and citizens of Thailand. One might even say the actions taken reflect on the head of the country … an insult under Thai law?

And if the victim is dead with no relatives to complain?

Here we go again Thailands number 1 sport.

The video shows the Thai security guys walking away, not the victims.

 

The quotation on the first page of the thread appears to quote the Webfact that provided the initial story. Perhaps it was written originally then edited out after not being confirmed?

They need an "affray" offense, but I don't think that would be compatible with Thai culture.  Things need to be solvable with a wai and some compensation.
