I noticed that in school there is no awareness of what a swastika stands for as same as the Hitler greeting with the stretched arm.. They laugh at it if you tell them it is not done because of the WOII. But education system in Thailand don't tell anything so kids don't know, and other people don't know either. Thailand lives in its own bulb, so in fact you can't blame them. Maybe this man was insulted by the tattoo, but it is no need to make a scene like this about it... You can't blame someone who is not aware

"I noticed that in school there is no awareness of what a swastika stands for..."

Do you have any awareness of the tattoo in question, there doesn't seem to be a picture of it? Did she have a Nazi swastika?

I agree that foreigners (black, white, or purple) here should leave such stuff alone. It's not our country. On the other hand the behavior of this particular Thai woman in question with her aggressiveness and potty mouth possibly suggests a not so innocent person. Not exactly a poster child of Thai politeness.

Her language was just a justifiable reaction to the black's language, who undoubtedly started the incident by objecting to her tattoo. I'm sure she wasn't making a point of displaying and making announcements about it herself.

I haven't read all the comments, but I spent a lot of time in Bali during the 80s-90s and I saw "swastika" signs in a lot of places in the villages. Always pointed the opposite way the Nazi one was. This guy needs to learn some manners. Maybe too late?

In Bali, the swastika is an ancient, deeply revered Hindu symbol of well-being, peace, and prosperity. Unrelated to its later misuse in the West, it represents the sun, balance, and good fortune, and is frequently seen carved into doorways, painted on temple walls, or incorporated into local businesses

You haven't read all the comments ?

59 posters have already stated that Swastika isn't necessarily a Nazi symbol and that the swastika originates from Eastern religions thousands of years go

I keep out of this s**t, to each their own, something I'd never wear.

What I disagree with is rainbow crap.

BTW, definitely OFF topic, you haven't lived unless you've been to a south Korean shipyard, DSME, Samsung, etc, everything is big, big and bigger.

Also, something to note, avoid fast food (junk food) restaurants, very dangerous place, lots of psychos eat that nasty food

These are not actually Swastika's.

They resemble a Swastika but are angled differently,, slight differences.

The black's language.

Odd choice of words.

I agree she was justified to react but I found her unecassarily vulgar.

Yeah that female is clearly very religious.

I'd say there is a far greater chance that she is religious, than there is of her being a nazi I mean to actually be a real "nazi" she would have had to have been interested in it and done some research ?

She would have quickly found out that racial purity was quite high on the "nazi" list of mandatory characteristics and that as an Asian she would have been considered sub human, People do not support groups who consider them to be sub-human

Except gays for palestine , but better you don't go there.

Nevermind if the woman wants to make a complaint , and based on what we see in that video she certainly should, his passport will indicate his citizenship and he can be returned there

Who the fxxx is this zero-brain foreigner coming to Thailand and telling the Thais what to do.

Go back to your <deleted> hole...

Post containing antisemitism removed @Tourist2

Yes, In fairness its her choice and you can't fault her for sure there is no mention of Hitler in any Thai education program !

The lad himself , I would cast doubts on his education..... wonder is he on drugs too, does he have a visa...... trash for sure.

He should be arrested and charged I'm sure there plenty of things he could be charged with on the strength of that video alone . If he is British he needs to learn, that the rest of the world will quite rightly not tolerate that sort of behaviour just because he is black,

Whatever but my hunch is that this particular lady didn't ink that for either political or religious reasons. Probably just because she thought it looked call and obviously based on the quality didn't cost much.

Yeah the foreigner provoked her. That was uncalled for of course.

Curious I'm not seen the actual tattoo on her but curious what does the similar ones in India and Thai mean?

I've seen in my years many Thai and foreigners wear Nazi army helmet and clothes surprising many especially the young not a clue for sure in general the Thais.

If it wasn't the Nazi sign and the Thai lady seem to speak English since responding yes,OK, why she didn't try to explain her tattoo?

Last, regardless the brother should have let it go as one can see from his action it wasn't going anywhere nor worth having to make such a scene.

According to the op she did ....."During the exchange, the Thai woman explained that she did not understand the meaning of the symbol when she had the tattoo done. She also said she was legally entitled to have the tattoo in Thailand because there is no law banning the display of the symbol.

"the brother should have let it go " are you actually serious? What the brother should have done is Publicly apologised and offered to cover her bill as some form of compensation for this verbal assault Then begged on his knees to not be reported !

The matter may not be over yet, I hope her friends and family persuade her to take this matter further that idiot needs to be taught a lesson about how to behave

Hard to know her intentions when inked. Still makes more sense to educate oneself when it comes to religious symbols when in a majority non-Christian country.

Its not a lack of education that causes behaviour like that . It is a bad attitude, and bad character, and a defective personality.

I've encountered Thai young males wearing explicitly Hitlerian Nazi symbols and graphics but I've never confronted them. I reckon they're not actually Nazis but are doing it to get a reaction and I choose not to be baited that way.'

This case wasn't like that.

The tattoo was not explicit.

Anyone who has lived in Thailand or other nations that use that symbol religiously already knows that. It's not any kind of secret special knowledge. Understandable that many tourists don't know though.

Thailand needs a good dose of hardline enforcement against foreigners deciding to be threatening and intimidating. It's a breeding ground for what eventually becomes violence. This guy is out there and needs to be made an example of. People throwing tantrums, pounding on desks, yelling threats, and posturing with physical threats should be blacklisted and put on the first plane out.

Absolutely correct, If there was ever a time for a bit of "zero tolerance policing" it is now , before things get any worse

Let's not get carried away.

There already has been an obviously politically motivated backlash against foreigners behaving badly. Scapegoating Indians and cutting visa free entry time seems like an own goal to me to a country so reliant on tourism. The recent horrific alleged murder of a Thai girl by an obviously disturbed Aussie has inflamed this situation dramatically.

It's a minority of foreigners that are a problem. Let's not forget that. We don't deserve collective punishment.

Nothing about this incident meets the definition of collective punishment. Specific behavior is at the heart of the issue. Nobody should think they have the right to go into other people's countries, comment negatively on their customs, dress, or behavior, and then threaten them verbally and physically. He did the latter at the end of the video by invading her personal space and putting his face right up to hers. If this behavior is not rooted out, then we all might get collectively punished down the road.
