Since when did Americans respect anything.

 

Who is mike ?

 

Thanks for proving my point, Blaze. Instead of encouraging higher standards, you’re content to sneer from the sidelines and excuse bad behavior with a shrug. That kind of defeatist attitude is exactly why some Americans keep disgracing themselves abroad. My mistake mixing you and mike up. Sorry!

They’re not “banned” from taking liberty.

 

Stricker guidelines in today’s Navy, but not banned.

Touching moment, Corepuncher—two guys who usually disagree finally find common ground… in completely misreading a call for accountability as some kind of fetish. If bare-minimum standards of public behavior make your minds go straight to kink, maybe the problem isn’t the post, it’s whatever is rattling around in your heads. But hey, enjoy your little bromance.

Yes, but brave to take on a guy twice his size. 

 

My thought exactly - took action instead of filming it. Actually quite heroic under the circumstances.

 

I was once told that if someone's too big to take from the front then take 'em from behind. It's safer and why should you risk your own health for a POS like that? The idea is to put a stop to his antics as fast as possible without anyone else getting hurt.

More likely a higher sense of civic duty - not an easy thing to do. Takes a lot of guts to be the first bystander to take action. Most people are all jointly frozen - there's an expression for it, can't remember what its's called ... perhaps someone else can.

fair play to him.

So they should change the law to facilitate a loud mouth drunken eejit from the land of loud mouth …lol

 

Bit weird living in a country that has cannabis shops that can legally sell mind altering drugs yet are not allowed to sell harmless (at least in comparison to weed and cigarettes) vapes.  Luckily for him he wasn't able to purchase the illegal vape (which could land him in jail for 21 days if caught), and merely having a punch up and lobbing a brick through a window will probably result in far less of a punishment.

The Thai dude was getting a good whoopin. More than he bargained for.

He forgot the golden rule "kick him in the bells lad".

Tourists and expats that act like this makes me scratch my head. My wife and I worked our butts off to retire and come to Thailand to chill out from the stresses of life, not bring them with us. You're telling me you can't do without the nicotine hit until tomorrow? Arrest him, jail him and kick him out of Thailand, the Thai people don't need this behavior from tourists or expats ... neither do we!

What he did is absolutely terrible, but how do you tell/know that he is an American even though he is white looking? "DEPORT!"

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.

 

Picture captured from video.

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.

It's a pity it didn't happen. Drunken entitled pr 1 cks like that bloke deserve to be taught a lesson, Thai style. 

Good on the young Thai kid for trying.

The reports indicated that he was inebriated by alcohol. The devil's juice, Pattaya hooch, booze, giggle juice, liquid courage, firewater, liquid death etc.

The tip off is in the first sentence of the story which shows the man at the police station where his particulars would have been  confirmed.  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.

You mean just like when a Thai gets out of control and does something similar?  Yeah I agree, throw them in jail.

on the basis the article states he is american

 

what's your basis for suggesting he isn't american? an inability to process written text?!

Lucky SO*, this kingdom has no 2nd Amendment.

You really think that Thais cannot legally buy/own/carry licenced firearms...just like that place that has the "nd Amendment?

If you knew anything about the effects of weed, it mellows people out. And he was trying to buy e-cigs, not weed, if you bothered to read the story. Moreover, the bloke was confirmed to be p!ssed, not stoned. I think you'll find there's a lot more violence from alcohol than cannabis misuse. Seem to recall you spouting similar garbage on a story I read yesterday 

 

And yeah, I don't particularly like the proliferation of weed shops nor the smell of it but I do know what causes more aggro....

[cjinchiangrai]

Charge him for the glass and send him home.

Where do you get your news?  

WHY would ships enter port if there was no shore leave?  How would that work?

Rather than your silly belief, Pattaya looks on US visits as significant boosts to the local economy.

Last year when the US Fleet visited Pats, 6,000 sailors were granted shore leave.  Didn't tear up the city.

Amazing it was 1 on 1, at least when the video ends. Where's  Somchai's seven friends? Dog pack attacks on foreigners more the norm. Kudos for going toe-to-toe with someone much larger. Have to respect that.

I always stay out of problems that are nothing to do with me, perhaps this guys should do the same?
