On the video he says to the innocent bystander "I paid the money" - CCTV should show who's lying or telling the truth

He isnt acting like a thief .

Could be that he walked into the shop with the drinks ?

Whatever the ins and outs of this story, if I was unjustly accused of stealing in a shop, and couldn't settle things with the staff (like, prove I hadn't) then I would be the one calling the police. Not running away and fighting.

He's English. He gets away with shoplifting back home because the likes of @johng and the "not my business" and "no intervention" zealots have quietly allowed themselves to be walked over.

This guy and his dippy tart just had their Thai FAFO moment.

If 'we' read the OP, then yes 'we' do.

"The Thai reads something like buy this that and something else then get this 'Free' foreigner justs sees 'Free'. ?"

That's just a ridiculous suggestion.

Agree....really have to go way down the rabbit hole to come up with excuse like that that he sees the word free and "thinks" oh this 7 11 is giving away free stuff....what kind of idiot would ever come up with that.

Probably anyone that's recently lived in the west where stealing under £200 from a shop is no longer considered a crime.

What if his claims that he paid for it already turn out to be true ?

Quite an "outline" there going on in his shorts.

I have no strong opinion about what happened based on the news report.

But one of them was running away WITHOUT shoes?

Ouch.

Also if they were carrying merch and were stopped BEFORE leaving the store is a fine really fair? Isn't paying enough as I'm not sure it's stealing yet if you're still in the store.

If such fines are paid, does the staff usually pocket it as special bonus?

I wouldn't blame them. Those jobs pay for sheit.

And 7-eleven staff falsely accuse customers of shoplifting routinely.

Of course, you would know this because you hang out in Sevens all day long to ascertain how often people are caught for shoplifting. The thugs picking a fight outside had no business attacking anyone for alleged misdeeds. They just felt like beating up a Farang... and you think he deserved a beating? There were no Seven staff outside accusing anyone, and it's not their place to physically detain anyone.

Good grief, there is an argument to put them on the same list as Indians. The types coming to Thailand are pure trash.

We have not seen the full clip, was he giving it large in the shop before he left?

How on earth can you travel half way cross the world, then be accussed of stealing in a 7/11 - that's just not without basis that the staff believed he may have stolen something, they are usually very timid. Why not let them check your bags, or show your receipt. You don't give it the large and walk out.

His girlfriends sheepish reaction leads to me believe he may well have made an error in his ways.

He is extremely lucky there wasn't more local Thai's around, and the customary kick to the heads. Thai's are fatigued with trash tourists.

Something wrong in the UK at the moment.

He'll be on the cooking classes.

But there is a reasonable question to ask is how are these type affording to live out here, where's the income coming from ?

He and his girlfriend were engaged in theft from a 7-Eleven, got stroppy when confronted and asked to pay for the items and started lashing out at people who were trying to assist the shop staff in restraining the thieves. He was not just "set upon by three thugs".

From reading the reports, this is what the locals say happened.

Cobblers, "FFS", that was posted under your name.

7-11 staff members tend to be pretty soft going, but honour is a big thing in Thailand, so if they feel you cheat them they will stand their ground. It’s very rare for this to happen, so I am going to assume they had some validity to their questioning.

The tourist is clearly vile which adds weight to the whole notion he is not a good egg.

He got very lucky to escape with very little damage.

Are there certain people that lose all sense of manners when they are on holiday? Unbelievable.

Worst trade deal in Pattaya history: walked in for a 15-baht energy drink, walked out with no bike, no bag, and no shoes.

In keeping with the current trend in the US these days, known as the Art of the Deal.

Guys driving around shirtless like that are best avoided.

Another shirtless yobbo manc, Jomtien is the pits when it comes to these scuddy dirty northerners from ex mill towns. No life at home, come here on education or DTV and cause problems with their angst and hate... dirty filth

Any innocent person would stay and put their argument forward, all 7/11s have cctv. Typical victim playing and basically a thief. I know you should never read a book by its cover but sometimes the cover is the book. You can guarantee this guy has convictions at home for theft. Unfortunately the guys been dealt a bad hand at home with drugs, unemployment and various other factors but that's where he should leave it...too many of his ilk staying in Jomtien. Maybe a criminal check should required for all visas.

F me, another Brit. Probably some member of this forums' misunderstood son who meant no harm. Probably 'picking up' mixers to swill with the monkey man!

He left without sorting out the problem of the supposed theft. An innocent guy does not shout at staff and walk away. A guilty person does!!! This could have been easily sorted in store, ask to see cctv, call police but no, victim playing thief decides to run...he's as guilty as they come.

I suspect he had employed the same tactic where he comes from, and been permitted to wander off with free goods. Not here mate!

Let's wait and see..it won't be the first time that a simple misunderstanding lead to violence like this.

Even if he

did steal 2 energy drink's there is no excuse for the violence.

What do you suggest?

This is after he walked out of the shop shouting at the staff..guilt right there...and they don't attack him until he gets on his bike to ride away from his crime..the man's a thief...
