Foreigners brawl on Patong Beach sparks criticism of Thai laws

[Woke to Sounds of Horking]

Probably these 2 scumbag tourists were sky high on the marijuana.

 

Fine, deport and BAN for 3 years.

 

Idiots.

Almost a blessing they don't have jury trials here in Thailand. Can you imagine this guy with your fate in his hands?

That wasn't a fight. I think they were just trying to do the nasty but too drunk. Could not understand what language they were speaking.

 

Probably Russian or Ukrainian, also maybe Polish or Lithuanian?

 

 

[Ben Zioner]

Honestly, are they having sex or a fight? Can't be sure from that video.

It's almost guaranteed they had been on the Devil's lettuce.

 

Violent crimes have sky-rocketed since its legalization.

Are you referring to the in-part decriminalisation of cannabis? If so, links please to support your outlandish assertion.

I live in Pratamnak. Surrounded by Russians, with whom I have no problems. Chinese ditto. Not that many Middle Easterners nor Indians, but I always have a natter with the Nepali ex Gurkhas who run a tailoring shop on Jomtien Beach Rd. Friendly and communicative. Always a bright smile and how are you today.

 

Maybe you live in the ghetto?

Nice to see some Big Members,  know nothing about pot smoking.

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? 

Here, you just get a confused or sad emoji. Maybe add a dazed one?

Just like Thais in the same situation.

You just need to inhale the second hand smoke, and you are at risk of immediate addiction.

Some members are confusing Alcohol with Cannabis.

Idiots.

i don't think they were high on Marijuana, because if they were i don't think they would have the motivation to fight, 

 

Why is it when ever some one does something wrong it always because they are high. 

 

I am sure that in many other countries there are fights between tourist, but they don't get mentioned so no on knows about them, 

 

Maybe you should try some weed and see if you want to go out and fight, i'm sure you will not. 

 

It's not reported the reason why they were fighting, so why assume ?????

[bendejo]

Some years back I was staying on Soi Diana in Pattaya, there was one bar seemed to have fights going on pretty regularly.  Seemed like it was usually Brits and Aussies.  Gave me the idea for a fight bar.  Drinks only served in paper cups, barstools riveted to the floor, mirrors behind the bar made of metal.  Maybe the girls instigate.

As long as there are no weapons involved, I don't see a problem.

The Devil's Lettuce buddy - and no thanks @grubman I won't give it a try, been there done that, I will stick to my big bottles of Leo, that way I won't endanger anyone and I'll get home safely - no fistfights.

[Frankie baby]

The video sparked criticism from Thai netizens

 

Apparently, the one on one caused a bit of confusion as well?

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.

The issue is that they are so focused on having an enticing place for tourists that they are willing to let things go for appearance sake

The cops are weak because there is no point in trying to be a conscientious police officer when the corruption and favourtism in the senior ranks is so prevalent. 

[Cabradelmar]

No one is afraid of the police or the consequences of breaking laws. If it's not 2 NZs wrestling away a cops gun, it's a Thai slapping a cop. Add to that the prevailing thinking that any trouble with the law can be evaded if you pay the right people. Thailand has only themselves to blame.

 

[KCPhuket]

2 persons? Hardly a brawl. No news here.

And Thai´s never fight? Scum bouncers never penalty kick foreigners. Ladyboys never attack foreigners. Thai to Thai fights doesn´t exist?

Um, but aren't we entitled to be treat the same as Thais... or is this more proof of racism/xenophobia.
