A Thai man, aged 30, attacked a Swiss man after accusing him of cheating during a game of pool at a bar in Pattaya.

 

On 16 January, Pattaya's Sawang Boriboon Rescue Centre received reports of an assault resulting in injuries at a bar on Khao Talo road. Police and rescue volunteers responded swiftly to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, authorities found Devin, a 36-year-old Swiss national, suffering from a wrist injury inflicted by a pool cue. Rescue workers provided initial treatment before transporting him to a hospital.

 

The Thai man responsible, identified as Anand, appeared heavily intoxicated and was detained by police.

 

Anand told officers that he and the victim had been playing pool together, but claimed the Swiss man was cheating.

This led to a heated argument during which Anand admitted to striking him with the cue, alleging the victim had attacked him first.

 

The bar owner, who witnessed the incident, recounted that Anand reacted angrily after losing the game and accused the Swiss man of cheating.

 

Despite the owner's attempts to intervene, Anand, in his drunken state, ignored the warnings, prompting the call to the police, reported CH 7.

Had half a fight with a Yank last week.

 

Wife was crushing him at pool and he wasn’t happy…..she has no clue how to play, but boy can she can pot a ball.

 

He had fouled, moved a ball with his wrist as he played his shot. The foul was blindingly obvious to everyone watching.

 

Wife picked up the cue ball to play the penalty and he screams……'FOUL, FOUL, FOUL'…..claimed my wife didn’t declare his foul, so in picking up the cue ball she fouled.

 

What a total ………..

Never engage with drunk thai males, it's a loose / loose situation.

Depends. A couple of Pitbulls or Rottweilers tends to calm them down 

[Mr Meeseeks]

The lesson: don’t drink with low class Thai males in bars. 

[kevozman1]

Also the advantage of having dogs is you can carry chains. Quite a useful weapon. Better than a pool cue I can tell you that.

Is it ok to drink with low class Thai females in bars.

Just asking for a friend  🤐

I once played a drunk cop at pool in a Chiang Mai bar.

 

He was useless and was getting very agitated that I was winning every game. He also had a gun in his holster.

 

Had I been sober, I might have been tempted to let him win one.

Are you supposed to decapre a foul before moving the ball ?

Who was right and who was in the wrong ?

What do the rules say ?

Was the American guy in the right ?

Usually you have to declare a foul and both agree on it .

You cannot just pick the ball up without declaring a previous foul .

You wife was in the wrong

Another booze-fueled case.
