Perhaps that is part of the problem with us, we can not admit when we are in the wrong? Which goes back being “entitled” 

 

The British man, named Matthew, has been living in the village with his Thai wife for several years. He is known among the security guards as a hot-headed person who frequently causes disturbances.

After being physically assaulted, I’m terrified of this foreigner because I’m old and work alone in the office. If this aggressive resident barges in to yell at me or assault me again, I won’t be able to fight back,” he said.

If you can not find something you can just ask and get helpful information.

Glad I found it, especially for the visa stuff.

 

Just a few weirdos with some sort of chip on their shoulder.

Who are probably the ones causing all the trouble with their attitude. 
Easy to spot the ones with issues.

You would know, Rob..........😂

Yes, based on the uneducated vitriol, you could well be correct.

press charges against a British man who punched him so hard that he fell to the ground.

Could be Bob Smith, he's always getting into trouble, constantly being hostile and complaining about the Thai's.

The forum is "AseanNow", what makes you think that the emphasis of the forum should be on visas?

This forum changed its name a few years ago.

I'm well aware of that and the poster to whom I responded posted his comment this week, not a few years ago.

I am pretty sure his days in Thailand are over

That may well be true but us Brits make up less than 10% of the total number of tourists here and seem to making up 90% of these unsavory incidents sadly.

There is not even a close second.

your rough estimates are probably not far off the mark.

someone should create a pi chart with the exact figures.

i visited pattaya once...now it all makes sense. 

no body is commemtign on his martial moves. 

hes quite skilled using his weight on the hit. his hips shoulders and stretch of his arm explodes with pin point pressue

not just a normal street fighter swinging its arms. 

maybe baojiquan or tae bo praticioner.

thai part time secutiry was stunned with just one strike like a drunken skunk, maybe he was drinking lao kao though, but the monks strike was guud and devestating shockwave through the brain

What they hell do you mean "us"?  Just because a few foreigners begave badly, doesn't mean that we are all collectively responsible.

 

Also, the majority of these situations involve a Thai not being lovely.

 

You sound incredibly naïve and very much in the "honey moon period", where you buy the tourist image of peaceful and kind Buddhists existing in harmony with each other.

If you want to meet some really strange people look for topics with Trump in it.

Or anything to do with the Ukraine.

Or start a new topic about flat earth,that will draw them in!

those juristic joey's deserve a slap about the chops.

 

they are the epitome of annoying!

Hitting an elderly man is just shameful. I think Matthew needs to spend some time in jail.

I only arrived in Thailand permanently two weeks ago.

And joined this forum to get visa advice which was top rate.

 

But this forum seems to be more about Brits behaving terribly in Thailand more than visas. Murders, running up sexual service bills and refusing to pay, assaults, sexually assaults on kids, human trafficking, working illegally

etc

 

And that is just what is reported, it is probably 100 times worse.

I have to say this entitled behavior by my fellow countrymen is very embarrassing for me. 
 

We hate immigrants behaving badly in England and are quick to criticize.
But it seems we are worse. A lot worse. 
 

what is wrong with us?? The Thais are so lovely and so many of us treat them terribly.

We should be showing gratitude and respect. 
 

I hope they deport him and all the other trouble makers. 

 

Two weeks isn't enough time to acquire a balanced view. Most Brits in Thailand are well behaved. There are some bad apples in Thailand, some are foreigners but many are amongst the local Thai population. 

Bald and tattooed, guilty as charged, check his criminal record then deport him

Easy pass go, then off to the compo clinic, before ejection, is the way this will pan out 🤔

how does '' You have much to learn I,m afraid.....without condoning what this idiot did''  read as if the poster is trying to blame the injured party, i think you are anti expat, and defiantly anti aseannow posters, there are plenty of places to get visa info, if that's what you are after
