British Man Sparks Outrage in Thai Restaurant Incident

A British man's drunken tirade at a Thai restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima has sparked outrage, reflecting on tensions between locals and expats in the region. The incident unfolded at a dining establishment in the Phimai district after the British man's preferred alcoholic drink couldn't be supplied.

 

Concerned about the escalating tensions, the restaurant's proprietor, a local Thai named Apinan, contacted Phimai Police Station on Sunday, 16th March. He feared that a fracas between the British patron and Thai clientele could turn violent.

 

Speaking to Channel 7, Apinan recounted that the British individual had entered the restaurant with his Thai spouse and three foreign acquaintances, appearing decidedly inebriated. Upon realising their drink of choice was unavailable, the staff proposed an alternative brand and offered to source the original preference from a nearby store.

 

Despite the accommodating gestures, the British man grew irate, hurling insults at the Thai workers and patrons. Apinan described the scene, noting that the man used disparaging language to belittle the financial standing of the local patrons, even going so far as to mock their livelihoods and implying they couldn't afford socialising or leisure activities at the establishment.

 

 

 

 

When a restaurant employee attempted to pacify the situation by asking the British man to quieten down, his response was aggressive and dismissive. Video footage released by owner Apinan showed the man confronting a staff member, demanding, "Don’t push me," while actively shoving said worker.

 

In a bid to prevent further turmoil, staff escorted the unruly customer from the premises. Locals from the area, familiar with the British national and his Thai wife, echoed sentiments of previous insults hurled by him in past interactions.

 

Police from Phimai swiftly arrived at the scene, ensuring the incident didn't deteriorate into violence. However, the police have yet to confirm whether the Briton faced any legal repercussions following the altercation.

 

The incident underscores potential friction and cultural misunderstandings, spotlighting the necessity for mutual respect and civility in interactions between expatriates and local communities. As of now, no further action has been taken, while the residents and business owners alike hope for a more harmonious cohabitation moving forward, reported The Thaiger.

I go out for a drink or ten 4-6 nights a week.

I encounter these types probably at least once or twice a week on average.

Most of the times they are Brits, but not always.

 

I think it might be related to all the migrants in the UK now causing trouble, people are much more aggressively racist than 15-20 years ago. We are always complaining about them so they are always on our mind.

So some us get overly agitated when surrounded by non-Brits as it appears this lad has and it has set him off and he gave few of the non-Brits a bit of a spray. 
 

His wife probably hears it all day how stupid the Thai people are.

So you are the one getting "overly agitated when surrounded by non-Brits" and YOU are the one complaining!

I wonder what they think and how they react to you?

If one is a racist, don't go live in a country where people are different than you.

Just your typical foreigner in Thailand these days. 

 

The worst thing about Thailand, the only negativity for me are some of the bloody foreigners.

  If by "recently" you mean since 1965, then yes, I agree.

As a UK Citizen, sadly I have to agree, BUT the Brits are not the highest consumers of alcohol (reference Google) -

 

Source: Eurostat. The EU country with the biggest share of its population drinking alcohol on a weekly basis is the Netherlands (47.3 per cent), Luxembourg (43.1 per cent), and Belgium (40.8 per cent).Jun 30, 2023

Nothing new here, as it's a common scene in Buriram, fat old dirty semi-retarded farangs who like belittle Thai people when they're drunk.  I'm always amazed at the patience of Thai people, because back home these drunks are usually quiet as a door mouse.

Oh Bob!   You said you were going to leave Pattaya, but then go to Korat and do this?    OMG!

[spidermike007]

As guests in this country the very least that we can do is show a consistent level of respect to the local people, this kind of behavior is never justified. Never, ever.

Sometimes.

Like 78% of people on this forum do according to a recent poll.

And sometimes I drive to a woman’s house.

 

But very carefully and slowly avoiding accidents and police checkpoints.

I am not complaining.

But from my observations this chap is not alone. 
Usually the married to a Thai ones are more this way than the unmarried.

Makes you wonder.

Admitting is not the same as bragging.

78% of members also admitted it. And about 100% of drinkers at the various places I drink. Only the tourists catch taxis, because the don’t have a car.

I have always advocated doing it responsibly and some wowsers still carry on about it endlessly.

Everyone is in control until they kill someone while drunk.

 

What a joke.
