Over a broken glass????? The guards and bouncers in this country really know how to deal with things.

[Briggsy]

The Chinese "businessman" would have lost face being turfed out of the club resulting in a furious reaction. The old Chinese tend to have very "big faces".

2 sides to every story, I have done the clubs many times, nothing but respect & courtesy from doorman & security. You usually get back what you put out.

Well, coming as a "business" man alone to Pattaya, met a prostitute, start excessive drinking with Thai men.....Lesson learned 🤣🤗😁

Same thing many bars and clubs only respect showed and given.

 

Next even if you didn't break the glass, and security comes, say sorry, offer to pay (probably 100 baht for glass) and leave if requested.  This isn't a situation that is worth the risk of injury.

 

Why did she wait 4 days to report the incident?  Maybe how long it took for hospital to treat and provide estimate for any dental work?

There is a whole lot missing from that story.

For one, there's not a lot of Thai men inside ANY nightclub or go-go bar on Walking Street. The few there are, are generally staff, not customers and wouldn't be involved in any drinking games with customers.

And I seriously doubt that breaking a glass in any bar/nightclub/go-go bar would result in an altercation - unless you threw the glass or did something stupid like deliberately hit/slapped a tray a waitress was holding that had a drink on it.

I've accidentally broken glasses in bars on Walking Street (maybe twice in total, in two different bars) and what happened ? 
Nothing, the staff cleaned up the glass - I offered to pay for the broken glass and was told "mai pen rai" and that was the end of it.

Some (a lot) of those places have deliberately small tables to make more room for customers and less room for those customers to pile food or other junk on them. And many (most) of those places tended to be crowded, leading to a lot of accidental "bumping" as people try to get in/out of seats or girls try to sit beside potential "teeraks".

So you can bet a lot of glasses are broken pretty much every night on Walking Street - and rarely does it result in a large group of Thais beating up a customer.

And when (if) you hear the details, you usually find it was the customer that started the altercation by acting like a complete (insert descriptive colloquial slang term here).

Like the (you know whats) that run up a tab then try to pretend they are just stepping outside to answer a phone call - and then try to wander off down the street hoping no one notices.

Or the old "I'm just going to the ATM and I'll be right back" scam. Some even try to leave an (empty) cigarette pack and nearly empty lighter on the table as "proof" they are coming back.

I've WATCHED people try to pull those scams and the staff will follow them out the door and alert the "boys" that the customer(s) haven't paid their bills. And when said customer trys to do a runner - the fight starts.

Or some guy is playing with the girls, agrees to buy them drinks (without checking the price of those drinks of course) and then start a commotion when it comes time to pay the bill.

(And as you already KNOW - it's NOT because the bar "padded" the bill it's because the moe-ron(s) who ORDERED the drinks somehow didn't think they were supposed to PAY for them - or didn't check the price first - or keep track of just how many of those drinks THEY agreed to buy.)

(But they will often try to claim the bill was "padded" - which is usually easily proven to be false. The girls HAVE to ask for a drink and the customer HAS to agree to it before they can order it and have it added to the bill. But the dumb-@sses will order 2-3 beer and buy 10 "ladydrinks" for different girls because they're loving all the attention and then they goes ballistic when they see a 2,000 baht bill.
Ladydrinks in some places can be 150 baht each and it's usually posted on the walls around the club, in plain sight. 10 Ladydrinks at 150 baht each is 1,500 baht plus a couple beer and boom, 2,000 baht bill with NO "padding". And the scouser starts an altercation or refuses to pay the bill because he's decided that he didn't really agree to all those drinks - which is usually bull**** - or he thinks those "ladydrinks" weren't "worth" 150 baht - because he has NO clue that part of that cost goes to the girl.)

You have to remember that a lot of the people who end up "in the news" are NOT "experienced" expats or frequent visitors. They are most often first timers, not overly intelligent, not able to handle their booze and totally out of their element in a place like Pattaya.

And keep in mind something that is true almost everywhere in the world.

When someone does something that ends up becoming an altercation or requires police involvment - they almost NEVER admit to what THEY did to start the problem.

Also - THINK about it.
If the "bouncers" on Walking Street (and elsewhere) were just randomly attacking customers and beating them in the streets - like SOME people here like to believe - then Walking Street, Soi 6, 7 (and every other soi), Tree Town (and every other "entertainment area) would have been closed DECADES ago.

The bad publicity alone would have forced the gov't to act and the place would have developed such a bad reputation that no one would want to go there anyways.

Funny how that doesn't seem to be the case though, isn't it ?

Some of the bouncers like beating people up, many are ex Thai boxers. And they want to promote Pattaya as a family friendly tourist destination. It is far too easy to have a problem on Pattaya's Walking Street. Why bother going there?

The bouncers either knew who they were beating up or they now need to start praying he's not mafia.

In every part of society, all over the world, you are (mostly) treated the way you treat people.

 

I've never been mistreated in Thailand by bouncers, in fact, they go out of their way to look after me, because I usually offer them a cigarette, or something very small.
