Popular Post snoop1130 Posted 13 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 13 hours ago A viral video showing two foreigners fighting each other on a road along Patong Beach in Phuket sparked criticism of weaknesses in Thai laws. A Thai man shared the video of the altercation on his TikTok account, @aifkiatprasert, yesterday, November 5. He later shared it with the news Facebook page, Phuket Times, before deleting it from his account. The page posted the video with a caption that read… “Foreigners fighting each other! Fights are available almost every night at Patong Beach boxing stadium.” In the 16-second video, two foreign men can be seen brawling while one of them remains seated on a motorcycle. Their altercation caused a nearby parked motorcycle to be overturned. The report did not disclose details about the motive or specific circumstances of the fight. 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.” “Everything happens in Patong.” “Everyone sees this, but the police don’t.” Officers have not yet provided clarification about the incident to the public, and the two foreigners may have already resolved their conflict.

Srikcir Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 10 hours ago, snoop1130 said: “This happened because Thai laws are so weak. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ikke1959 Posted 2 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 2 hours ago Another issue that is only allowed for Thais.... Foreigners are not allowed to fight...

Two guys and fisticuffs is nothing. It's nothing in Thailand either lol. This is some handbags compared to the locals when they are fighting. Of course this site with what ever agenda they have, which I haven't fully worked out yet, but I think I have an idea, like to highlight handbags involving foreigners over serious incidents involving Thais. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 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.

Pompeygeezer Posted 15 minutes ago Share Posted 15 minutes ago (edited) 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.
