Drunken American Throws Rock through Window in Pattaya Over E-Cigarette Dispute

A street brawl erupted in Soi 11, (Soi Honey), Pattaya Second Road, around 21:00 on 27 May, after an intoxicated American man reportedly became aggressive when he was unable to purchase an e-cigarette at a local cannabis shop named SWEET69.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the visibly drunk man entered the cannabis dispensary and persistently asked to buy an e-cigarette, which the shop does not sell. When staff repeatedly declined his requests, a heated argument ensued. The man then exited the premises and began shouting profanities in front of the shop, making obscene gestures, and sarcastically wishing the staff wealth.

 

Matters escalated when the foreigner picked up a rock and hurled it at the shop’s window, shattering the glass. Despite attempts by a friend to restrain him, the man refused to calm down.

 

The incident took another turn when an unidentified local youth, seemingly fed up with the man’s behaviour, ran towards him and began punching him, triggering a scuffle. The fight quickly attracted a crowd, with bystanders cheering as the situation descended into a public spectacle. Eventually, some members of the public intervened to separate the parties involved.

As tensions simmered, the American man reportedly began arguing with another passerby, believed to be of Indian descent and was once again struck during a brief altercation.

 

The owner of the cannabis shop, who reported the incident to the police, clarified that the young man who assaulted the foreigner was not affiliated with the business. She stated that the youth had likely been provoked by the man’s disruptive and disrespectful behaviour, as shown in widely circulated video footage of the incident.

 

Police have since taken the American, who they have not named and suffered facial injuries, into custody on charges of property damage. Officers confirmed they are currently working to identify and apprehend the individual who assaulted him.

Or stupid?

Just now, PJ71 said:

Why?

Twice the size does not guarantee he's a good fighter nor he is intelligent; especially after his behavior... IMHO

Every single day!!!! Every day!!!  All I read about is how bad these farangs are, and every other farang wants them imprisoned, blacklisted, thrown off a building.......  it's so funny how we all hate each other, and all this does is make it harder on us.   

 

Yes, new laws because of the bad farangs.  not 90 day report, 90 minutes.  800 million, not 800k.   every farang is responsible for their own countrymen.  these bad apples are making Thais look at all of us as savages.   

 

I can't wait until tomorrow..... why did I choose to live in a place that attracts the worst humans ever???  oh, wait, he only threw a rock, broke a window, didn't kill anyone, no drugs, no rape, no theft, something that happens 10 million times a minute in Baltimore.  anyhow....  

 

I was here in 2008.  exactly the same.  if you are reading this in the year 8703, yes, same same and not different.

I never said it did.

 

He probably saw how drunk the guy was and thought he'd 'try' to show off in front of his boyfriend.

"How dare you not sell me that thing which you don't have!" 

 

they should stick up an e-cigarette up his butt for this kind of behavior.

Could have all been avoided if they legalize, regulate and tax vapes.

More like a stupid idiot who couldn't or wouldn't take no foe an answer.

 

Fine him the maximum amount, make sure he pays for ALL the damage he has caused, give him a month in jail and then deport him back to MAGAland, with a label tattooed on his forehead stating that he is a drug abuser and not wanted in Thailand.

Just another normal day in a family resort. , love the place. 

Not just Chinese, or Russians or Indians... seems all the countries are equally participating in chaos @ Thailand and especially in r/o to Phuket and Pattaya...

Another "Quality Tourist" TAT sought.

The Yanks have been at it in Pattaya for decades that's why when the Fleet comes in they are banned from taking shore leave. Thank God. I remember when I wasn't that way and fights were breaking out all.over town!

Just a stupid american reliving the movie "The Hangover" part II.
