Another Farang bully makes the news.

[Cameroni]

This is bizarre. 

 

So he had to wait too long for his water and decides to empty it into a cooking pot? As revenge?

 

As far as unpleasantness goes it is real yet tame.

 

Even hooliganism is nicer in Thailand.

Yep, dodgy stuff that bottled water.

Just another mental case provocateur trying to tigger people and baiting for attention.

 

He posts in Thai not out of relevance, but in the hope someone calls it out as a breach of English-only rules – so he can smugly pounce with, “This is the Thai forum.”

 

Make no mistake: the calculated use of loaded terms like “another bully”, paired with the strategic language choice, is typical textbook trolling with one purpose in mind...

As for the video:

The man’s a drunken fool, plain and simple. He should be held accountable for the damage caused.

 

Dear Richard. Do you have anything to do? Seems like you only try to go in and correct everyone on this forum. Are they paying for that, or do you just enjoy it too much? You are simply a pain in the arse!

[RocketDog]

Too bad the pot didn't contain boiling oil. 

The outcome would have been quite dramatic. Watching the man suddenly break out in dance would have been entertaining.

[captain_shane]

Why is this worthy of a news story? A falang pours water on some food, wow stop the press.

Things must be pretty calm in Thailand if this is making television news.
 

Just wondering, would this have even made the news he was a Thai?

Another one.

It's why the Thai's hate us now. 

 

So sad, when I first arrived, I was treated like a KING.. 

 

Very strange to read comments like its nothing, just normal behaviour. 

 

To those of you thinking about relocating, retiring to Thailand, forget it, you've missed the boat. 

 

Too many nasties here now destroying the lovely Thai hospitality, it's disappearing quickly. 

 

[Thingamabob]

Not bullying in the physical sense, but disgusting behaviour nonetheless. I doubt he would do this in his own country.

Awwwww, forgive me, princess...  I usually reserve corrections for the truly dim-witted - though I can see why you'd take that personally....

Not true: Outside the cesspits of farang mongery, I usually find myself met with a respectful indifference – the same easygoing courtesy Thai's extend to one another. From there, simple interactions often unfold into polite, genuinely pleasant exchanges.

That always unsettled me a bit, I never saw myself as special, never sought to be treated that way. All I ever really wanted was a sense of equality rooted in normalcy, nothing more, nothing less.

 

Is your disdain for other foreigners rooted in the feeling that their presence somehow dilutes your imagined kingship? That it threatens the illusion of your own specialness?

100% agree - this is far from normal behaviour. Its bizarre and borders on delusion... as if he genuinely believes he’s playing an amusing joke that they'll laugh at.

Arguably, a lot of the ‘nasties’ are long-timers who feel their ‘market share’ shrinking with the influx of younger men competing on the same hunting grounds and they 'blow a fuse'...

 

That said, Thailand courts this over-tourism, and in places like Pattaya and Patong, they inevitably reap what they attract. It’s that particular mix of expat and tourist - though, of course, many like you [SF] are exceptions and truthfully, the vast majority of tourist and expats are well mannered and polite and Thailand still draws such decent folk. 

That said, I honestly don’t understand why anyone would choose to live in Pattaya or Patong.

The blend of monging sex pests and two-week millionaires, overlapping with respectful long-timers, often leads locals to lump them all together with contempt. That’s precisely why I steered clear of those areas when I first moved to Thailand over 20 years ago.

Nah, nothing you can say or post can be taken personally. It´s actually so common and built up by your standard way of communicating. The only thing I can relate to, is that it´s embarrassing to read.

And yet, grotesque freak-shows like yourself always take it personally - otherwise you'd have no need to comment, let alone try to provoke yet another petty clash....

If someone thinks that because they saw a drunken tourists acting like an idiot it means that all foreigners are like this, it's really them who has the problem.

A lot of locals may as this isn't the first time for such an occurrence.

... Its amusingly pathetic how you're still clawing for relevance in a dead exchange - you're not provoking me, you're just embarrassing yourself - it’s amusing how hard you’re trying.

I think that in areas of high tourist footfall, a self-perpetuating cycle of contempt often emerges from excessive familiarity.

 

The constant influx of visitors - many of whom behave with little regard for local customs - can breed a weariness among those who serve them. Frequently staffed by transient, profit-driven workers with no deep-rooted ties to the area, these places often develop a brittle, transactional atmosphere.

 

Daily exposure to the full spectrum of human manners tends to erode patience, fostering an underlying edginess that can verge on hostility. This simmering tension subtly infects every interaction, reinforcing the double-edged stigma that so often clings to heavily touristed destinations: one of superficial charm masking disdain.

 

Fortunately, this impression tends to remain restricted to such areas and rarely bleeds into places 'considered more normal' where interactions are rooted in mutual respect and civility. Beyond the tourist hotspots, exchanges are more often grounded in a shared sense of human decency where courtesy prevails and each encounter is judged on its own merit, rather than clouded by stereotype or fatigue.

 

I for one am relieved that, in the vast majority of cases, Thais possess the discernment to judge me, my family, and my friends with the same quiet respect and courteous indifference they extend to one another. It’s a mutual human understanding - simple, polite, and grounded in a shared recognition of dignity.

 

This makes daily life here not only bearable, but pleasant.
