Like you did to your country.

What is that supposed to mean? The government of the UK he is talking about so who and what country are you talking about?

I have to say this is badly reported. There is little about what the dispute was about and how the altercation began. There is nothing about the case against the Thais.

Whoever wrote this is expecting everyone to look it up online or read the reports in the UK press.

Only by reading the sensible replies do we get an idea of what has happened and what is likely going forward.

 

The court cases will sort this out when they are eventually held.

Daily Mail .... ''They confronted the pair, a couple in their 40s said to have been their neighbours, and told them to leave the property. But the unnamed man, believed to be from the UK, then launched a vicious attack on them aided by his partner, a Thai national, which was captured on CCTV.''

Hopefully , as it was all captured on CCTV that must mean something positive for the British couple ?? Surely the British thug and Thai wife cannot get away with such blatant violence ? A slanging match I can live with, but beating an elderly couple unconscious ? I really hope court can find the younger couple guilty and that the elderly couple find peace.

Why do people keep commenting about a 'Thai couple' being the attackers? 

 

The attackers were a bloke from the UK and his Thai wife! 

 

People who don't read threads before commenting....🤦‍♂️

Try and get help from David Lammy? 😂 I'm afraid you do not have the correct heritage or culture for that imbecile to care about your situation!  

 

He looks more like the Idi Amin type.

Wonder if he, too, has a taste for human flesh.

Relevance ?

Being polite to the Thais and not causing a problem is always a good idea in Thailand.

 

Where it all went wrong for the Brit couple was buying a house- I wonder how much they know about Thailand? Had they just rented, none of the subsequent trouble would have happened. Anyway, why would people of their age want to buy property? Were they intending to leave it to their children?

You are too kind... there No justice system in THailand... A Dutch man claimed at the court that he had to paid much more for the same treatment in a Government hospital than a Thai for exact the same and went to court but the judge decided that foreigners have more money so it was ok this double pricing.. And wht do you think about the refusing of bails for the protestors every time... but when a former fugitive is coming back, he is the hero and for his violating section 112 he get bail and even is allowed to visit other countries and get a political job... and the Red Bull saga... and many more cases. Thailand is only based on corruption and the few persons in power who tell the judges what to decide.. Even a Jury could not change that, and the same for the ridiculous banning of MFP and always in favor of the Government parties... No there is no justice system and it is easy as most Thais are low educated and earn just enough not starve and can't even afford a lawyer... So justice system feels safe. The only thing to change things is that the public won't accept it anymore

If I assume that everything you say is true, doesn't it mean that farangs need to avoid trouble in LOS.

Had they rented and had a problem with scum neighbours, then they could just move, but oh no, they had to go all too posh to rent and buy an expensive house, which IMO was their first mistake. Then they made more mistakes. Farangs should learn more about the culture they want to live in before making expensive mistakes.

They are just words, hot air, and I would bet my left one that if the guy was built like a brick sh-t house wall covered in tatts, the Thai would have thought twice about picking on a 77 year old, seriously.

 

I had an old guy cut in front of me a while back on a Friday night back in the home country, I beeped my horn and he kept brake checking me, until we came to the red lights, when I pounced out of the car, ran up to his window and ready to start throwing em, he wound his window down and spat at me saying F off, I swear, I could have knocked him out and done some serious damage, because I was so enraged, but I managed to calm down, walk back to my car and laugh in pity for the guy.

 

Bwahahahahaha, cool story hansel.
