Two primitives discussing the finer points of string theory.

No doubt it was just a coincidence. These two were probably gleefully singing "my grandad killed your grandad" to a couple of passing Germans when the disagreement broke out.  With any luck the survivor will serve his entire sentence here and not back in one of those cushy UK prisons where one can identify as female and bunk with the ladies. 

 

Decent Brits know exactly what I'm talking about and despise that element of their culture. You won't find many Yanks who know about that song, at any rate. 

 

 

There aren't many of 'my kind' of 'Brit' that likes to be included in your version of  'decent' British people.

I can assure you of that!

1/2 the Canucks are French! 😏

There is far too much emphasis placed on the nationality of individuals committing crimes in Thailand, rather than on the actual crimes themselves.

 

Any person with even limited education knows that there are good and bad in every nation, and crooks come from all over the Globe to Thailand for many reasons.

 

Thailand is a gateway and passing point for many nationalities, and certainly attracts its fair share that are not here for temples and tourism.

 

Bashing people based purely on their nationality is a sign of ignorance.

 

I am British by birth, a mixture of English and Irish.

 

I have many friends and acquaintances in many countries, and I am well travelled and educated.

 

Furthermore, I don't expect to meet French people in striped shirts carrying onions around their neck riding bicycles, just as they won't see me in a British Bulldog T-shirt, with armfuls of tattoos and a huge beer gut, with a handkerchief on my head.

 

The stereotypes needing binning, and focus needs placing on the crimes themselves, and leaving it to the relevant authorities to punish offenders, as opposed to Asean Now rants about deportations and jailing, from the hang em high brigades, whose opinions carry no clout in Thai law courts.

Lock him up! 

Nothing good happens at 04.30 am in the morning

A disagreeable lot if ever there was one.  Don't let them pass the threshold of your home.

More weed mongering. Maryjane not a harmless drug. I know someone went completely schizo on it, had to go to the loony bin. Tis just a sad case of 2 guys who never shouldve took to the drink in the first place; too many unresolved emotional traumas + hair trigger temper + cheap booze = tragedy.

Very unfortunate ,this place attracts some real nutters, with easy to anger buttons 

And dont forget the 29 year old killer grew up in a violent culture with violent video games, UFC, constant school shootings, ongoing wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc), 9-11, and the p(l)andemic, which is a refined subtle violence, a psychological violence. Literally enveloped in violence from day 1.

 

Are you sure that weed was not the cause of this fight?  They blame weed for every fight and tragic event here.

Oh do get down off that cross!

I am sure you can spend your whole life in Pattaya without getting into a fight, but having a few drinks in the pub with "strangers" who can't behave can lead into sudden tragedy. 

 

I stayed around the corner from this place last month. It does attract some professional drinkers. But they were usually early starters (breakfast) and early finishes. RIP

The article says 'Police say the British man, 29, punched the Aussie and he fell, hitting his head on the pavement' 

 

Perhaps a punch from behind/sucker punch? 

 

 

Seems like one of the surest and fastest ways to give up drinking for good.

 

Seems to me that if one is going to drink, then drinking at home, and without friends, is the safest strategy.

I just checked out the rooms...and they look better than I expected.

Must have been a fairly nice place.....when it first opened.

 

Not sure about the clientele these days, though.
