Show them your tats.  Make it seem like this gives you a real "Asian understanding".    Kobe jersey makes it seem as you can can blend the East with the West.

More like the police are waiting for the foreigner to leave so they do not have to deal with it.. The man showed them evidence. The police should have gone directly to make an arrest warrant and to arest the bar owner. What is there to investigate if the man has a vdo recording and ready to press charges?

Is that you, Mr. Raf?

Google, apple, Facebook, tik tok see you, and know where you are,  and every other app you conveniently downloaded as well 😁

 

If frequently visited bars, I would also left my phone when going out

 

 

I wonder if "Mr. Raf" might be a wannabe Pattaya vlogger, hoping to attract views through posting confrontational videos.  It's a common tactic in the U.S.  Videos that feature confrontation, especially when it gets violent, receive a lot more views than the "happy" stuff.  But as Mr. Raf found out, Thailand is a bad place for that style of vlogging.  The risk of street justice is high.

Seriously? Thailand is more dangerous than America, the land of the free and home of the concealed carry?

And not every beta is a wimp. According to Corey Wayne, 97% of males are weak betas. Being a narcissist himself, raised by same (his words), his book shows how men can get most any woman they want by acting alpha. He's not married and has no children, which means he doesn't know how to go about things the right way. Betas are the responsible ones, raising families and providing for them, and many women go for the bad boys, which always end up as a disaster. Many leaders are beta, and having both qualities, alpha and beta are best. Being assertive but using teamwork, collaboration instead of controlling, Some think beta doesn't mean masculinity, and alpha does but that isn't valid. As far as the OP topic, this man brought that on himself. Talking <deleted> you better be able to back it.And what he said was wrong.

 

I do not know Corey Wayne. Nor have I heard of him. Citing random unknown names and putting out pop psychology meanderings, does not offer clarify the circumstances. You might as well recite the entire Greek alphabet while you are at it since it is more useful;

I didn't say Thailand is more dangerous than the U.S.  It isn't.  But Thailand is a bad place for intrusive vloggers because people will sometimes take action when provoked.  Do you remember this idiot?

 

 

There are other examples as well.  Please note I used the word "intrusive."  Vloggers who don't create a deliberate confrontation run little risk in Thailand when filming in the street.

It looks and sounds like the bar owner didn't like being told he might get f'd up by the guy 'if you want to get pissy with me'  

But why would someone saying something like that cause anyone to start a fight?  

What kind of upbringing do these people have?    Fighting should be the very last resort, only used when every other option has been tried.

 

Probably have a violent family life.  Or some other issue giving them a short fuse.

 

It's crazy really.  There are people who would rather get a beating than back down.  That's really bonkers.

Despite explaining that he had not captured anyone’s face and had no ill intent, a heated argument ensued. 

 

'If you want to get testy with me I'll F U up'. That's not the definition of 'no ill intent' when I went to school.

 

To be fair, the no ill intent was just about the video.  Once the bar owner got involved clearly some ill intent occurred.

To many have lived a life where there is no consequences and still thinks they can do whatever they want. 

 

Im sure there is more to the story and we might have some updates later on.

them sex tourists don't like being filmed

You are not thinking about the girls?

 

For one who visits bars maybe once or max twice a year for a beer or two with friends, the last thing I want is to be filmet and the video goes viral because I was social for a few beers only.

"Singes" is French for "monkeys."

It also means "to burn slightly." But in his post, @ezzra meant to write "signs."

The girls don't want photos/videos on the internet because their sponsor(s) think they are at home in the village waiting for them. Hence the bar owner is protecting his employees from having to quit.

Unless I'm sure, I ask people like store owners for permission just to be respectful. The key word here is respectful

Loads of people film in front of bars. Not sure about inside bars, though. 

Just ended up with the wrong bar owner or maybe it was not discrete at all since he was in the bar. 

 

Outside the bar is accepted, but can be problematic. Inside the bar without consent will get your head split.  I once had a bar lady take my phone so she have a picture together of us.  Honestly I was concerned the owner might get upset. Lol.

I am inclined to agree.

 

However, this individual has the universal sign of affluence, intelligence, and success - large tasteless tattoos.

I have been informed on AN that people having these tattoos are probably wealthier, more intelligent, and more successful than I am.

His ball cap and basketball jersey further reinforce his fashion statement.

 

Hence I am reluctant to conclude without reservation that he is an idiot.

But I think he is.
