Whether he is a Brit or not doesn't matter, as you all seem to agree that he could well be one. Thanks for your honesty guys.

I'm sure I heard him say "farkin ek ya cant" - defo an Aussie... 🤫

4 Seconds in of the 1st Video - we see the Indian lad takes a large stick towards a blonde woman in a dress.... and pushes her hard - he then gets an absolute pasting from the big unit... looks like he had it coming.

Something else must have occurred in the build up....

The video shows.

• Indian man pushing blond woman with a stick - receives a pasting from 'big unit'.

• Helmet guy picking 'big unit' in the back while he's trying to back off - receives a pasting.

• WinRider hitting 'Big unit' with the stick (earlier used by Indian man) - lucky not to receive a pasting.

• Bald guy in white T-shirt (Mr "who are you") - continuing to escalate - lucky not to receive a pasting (big guy clear not escalating at that stage).

Reports of mother getting hair pulled buy a LB, then same LB hitting 'daughter' over the head with bottle - something kicked off in the bar that spread outside then everyone got involved - reckon some of those caught in the melee were trying to break-up the fight, then lost self control as they got caught up in the mix and others looked 'jumping in for fun' any chance to attack like animals.

Hopefully the bar itself has CCTV and we can see if the 'Big Unit' was acting like an aggressive ayhole in there and was the tigger point - or, he was the one who reacted.

But - whatever - from the video 20 year old Ms Thikhamphon Kaewin is a little liar - we can clearly see the Indian lad push grab a stick and use it to push a woman with blond hair (presumably the big lads wife).

Anther news source called him a Brit. He put on a good show. Well done.

Where were the usual dog packs waiting for an easy target.

No idea of nationality - but the sharks were certainly circling....

If it were a smaller lad - he'd be in ICU right now with brain bleed and 5 different shoe imprints on his face.

Thats not to say this 'big unit' was not the initial cause / trigger of the fracas - but plenty people nearby certainly wanted to involve themselves - I wonder if they knew or saw something the media did not - or were they just bystanders with a trigger-temperament... (rhetorical)

Looks like he was just ITCHING for a fight.

Such understatement is the foundation of humor.

Another fine night in Thailand's "family friendly" destination.

Yes, be off before the ladyboy pick pockets start to congregate. Or move to quieter areas.

Do Thai police have tazers? Would seen to be useful for this type of issue.

If I made this unfortunate vacation or residential choice I would need to do get drunk too

The foreigner was backing away. No news of him being aggressive with police.

I'd say he deserves a pat on the back for protecting his family.

The interesting part to me is the Thais were unable to dominate this situation. No head stomping this time.

No - it doesn't look like that at all.

it 'looks' as though he retaliated and attacked anyone who attacked first.

In any of the videos do you see this man attacking anyone who at first did not attack him of his family ?

In fact - there are a further two men (win rider who hit him with a stick) who also attacked and the bald guy in the white t-shirt who continually confronted him - the big lad continued to attempt to de-escalate.

The antecedents to this horror show are missing, but we can still see that this giant has been taken away by police in the cargo bed of a pickup truck.

Apparently, he is anit-Indians, which may have caused the scuffle.

A ladyboy smashed a bottle on his wife's head which started the scuffle. You've lost all credibility.

I am not surprised. It would take a dozen wimpy Thais to dominate him.

I am surprised the Thais took the side of the Indian.

Probably because the Indian was with a Thai "friend" and she was involved, no doubt a lying trollop - not that the Thais care.

What are you basing his [the big lads] 'anti-Indian' behavior on ?

His pasting of the Indian lad in the first video ??? - did you see the Indian lad take a huge stick to the 'big lads' wife 4 seconds into the first video ???

Reportedly - Wife and Ladyboy had a confrontation in which the LB pulled the Wife's hair - Daughter intervened - LB hit daughter over the head with a bottle - LB disappeared into the night.

Whether the original confrontation between Wife and LB was started by the Wife or the LB is unknown.

Indian lag 'allegedly' touched the wife on the hips - which if true, the Big Lad over reacted - unless simply pushing him away and telling him to ****-off.... But... The video (at 4 seconds) shoes the Indian lad taking a large stick and pushing the Wife - after which he receives a proper pasting from the Big Lad.....

Indian lad certainly was not innocent.

As far as the LB story is concerned - there is nothing on the video and reports are 'he said she said' so we don't really know.

Simply going off the video - the Big Lad hands out a pasting to two people who had it coming.

I am, so far, merely proceeding based upon the headline info in the Topic.

I will be interested to learn more, if this becomes possible.

So, it's all down to Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll, once again?

Bunch of drunken fools stirring up trouble in what would have continued to be a peaceful night.

Just Proles, acting Prolish, IMHO...and nothing unusual for them...

To reply directly to your comment, I shall copy from the headline of this Topic.

This will completely answer any doubts you may have about how I perceive this fine example of hooliganism among the proletariat:

"A foreign man was arrested in the early hours of 20 June 2026 after allegedly assaulting an Indian tourist, damaging a songthaew taxi and causing disorder in Pattaya, prompting police to deploy more than 10 officers to bring the situation under control."

Of course not, but neither you nor I were there so it's a he said she said situation where Butterbean claims that was the case for his over the top drunken brawling.

Well done?? He needs to be deported and banned for life, then he won't do it again, at least in Thailand!

I know we often look at the old days, 20 + years ago through rose colored glasses but this kind of brawl that has now become commonplace, it seems almost nightly, was honestly very rare back then.

It's worldwide and not only involving Neanderthals like this thug. Now, security is needed everywhere. Violence was almost non-existent years ago, you didn't need scanners to enter a store, you didn't need security staff at train stations checking your bag. Just one of the ways that humanity has taken a step backwards. Why? How? I have an idea or too, but haven't got the time to write what they are. No-one cares anyway. As individuals we just have to go along with it.

This very interesting. Usually we see idiot foreigners behaving badly and 10 Thais bashing them up good.

Here we have a family man protecting his family, and doing so quite well. In the videos we've been presented we see the Brit defending himself and family. He doesn't beat people at random, only those who continue attacking him.

And yet we have posters shouting he should be deported for life. I really don't understand that thought process.
