It's not the laws are weak but the emphasis of civil disobedience over criminal disobedience. The National Police seems less focused (or ignorant?) on enforcing laws from a criminal aspect to enforcing civil peace which has little to do with the rule of law.

Out of all the shiity foreigners here,Chinese,Indians,Russians and Yanks,the Arabs are the most obnoxious by miles.Arrogant,entitled,unfriendly and a real contempt for other countries and cultures.

Where I come from this is not news. Elementary school - fights, high school - fights, 18-40 yrs old - fights.  Police get involved if the altercation involves weapons (never did) or it is a gang thing.  Two guys and fisticuffs is nothing.

Another issue that is only allowed for Thais.... Foreigners are not allowed to fight... Thai people  can do as we have seen many times even in hospitals and that is no problem for the netizens... but as foreigners fight on the beach.......

So true and the statement probably explains the next quoted piece regarding the resolution

Officers have not yet provided clarification about the incident to the public, and the two foreigners may have already resolved their conflict

The video sparked criticism from Thai netizens, aimed not only at the foreign men but also at Thai laws.

 

“This happened because Thai laws are so weak. Foreigners aren’t afraid. They just need to offer a gift basket or money to the police, and then both eyes and mouths are shut.”

 

“They would never do this in other countries. They’d be deported, blacklisted, or jailed. But everything is fine in Thailand. We spoil foreigners until they stop respecting locals.”

 

Netizens must be very ignorant of things that happen in other countries to claim this.

I've suspended my getting involved in brawls until the thai authorities sort out the outrageous blocking of ambulances by irresponsible Thai drivers. It's just not worth the risk and they are curtailing the fun for everyone! 😡

Funny you should say that. I jokingly suggested a republican v democrats showdown on Pattaya beach as a way of clearing the air. Never happened though. No takers!

Patong is one of the most blighted and horrific places in Thailand. Having accompanied a friend there last year, I would never return. It is dreadful, and it attracting the lowest quality tourists in its history. 

 

The cops here are very weak. For us, there is a good and a bad side to that. In the US, they can be overzealous. Here?

A 16 second brawl , one did not even get off his bike ...

A desperate need for tougher laws against foreigners now ?

A xenophobe pushed to his limits ?

You should go to KSA (Saudi Arabia) if you want to see real arrogance?

The Thais commenting that Thai laws are too weak  and that's why foreigners are fighting have obviously been living in a bubble and lead a sheltered life.   Fights happen everyday in every country especially when drinking is involved.  Probably hi so's commenting or just another chance for them to slag off foreigners.  Because you never see Thais fighting each other🤔

The last thing quality Tourists and their families visiting the world Renowned Resorts of Phuket and Pattaya is drunk foreigners or Thais fighting in the streets or beaches 

Not a good image for the country 😱

And yes the law enforcement leaves a lot to be desired  💰
