THAILIBAN Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 none of our several "Pattaya observers" and reporters found out what actually happened ? any updates ? thats all too much an odd story..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiledegg Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 for this to happen in front of a senior so called copper truly defies belief.I am truly shocked. How long have you lived in Thailand? I don't think it's shocking one bit! It is a shame, however. I dont live there, but been visiting for 10 years and this is a new one for me. If you know of similar cases please let us know. The older of the 2 looks as if he got the worst of the beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulmercke Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'd say it's not entirely impossible that the English guys might have said something rude. Have seen it happen to much younger folks, both locals and foreigners. Say something you know you shouldn't and the next thing you know, you're beaten unconscious with your shorts pulled down. This is my thinking also. Utter - even under your breath - the dreaded f-word and it's more than possible that a Thai - in a heated situation like this - will strike out. Your fault or not - it makes no difference most times. You're a 'farang' and you pay. I've noted - with increasing concern - that the incidences of elderly western males gettin' smashed in Pattaya lately - for whatever reason - appears to be on the increase. I guess - they make for easy targets - their attackers being the weak - bullying cowards they really are. This is a shocking case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK i accept that old people get beaten up and mugged in every country but this is the first time ive heard of it infront of a copper. By the looks of the men it wasnt a quick punch this is a good prolonged beating they got. Nicest thing i could wish that copper is a slow painful early death.

Tony Clifton Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I've stopped driving for the second time now a few weeks ago exactly because of stupid sh!t like this. Your life is worth nothing here on the roads. The presence of a cop at the scene of an accident will more likely get you in more trouble instead of helping you. Cockroaches with matching uniforms. The wife now drives and I hate it as she still has deadly driving habits and it's actually harder to refrain from giving the finger to the parasitic Thai drivers as both my hands are now free.

plasticpig Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Flipping the bird in Thailand is not the smartest move. Cockroaches with matching uniforms. Thats a new one, it could stick Edited June 3, 2008 by plasticpig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiledegg Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 One thing that seems strange about this incident is that they were in a car park late at night and 3 vehicles crash into each other. 2 vehicles i can understand when reversing, but whilst driving at 3km an hour it seems remarkable for 3 vehicles to collide.

larvidchr Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This is really disgraceful behavior by those coward Thai men, it would be anywhere in the world no matter what words that might have preceded the beating, and that a senior Thai Police officer was powerless to intervene if he wanted to, just cant be true.

hanibal7 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 if i got insulted by an old guy i couldnt hit him,even if he tried to hit me so why does a few thai guys stoop so low.total cowards and slugs.that copper should be sent jail too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkinhades Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) My feelings too, there are some people that i would never hit no matter what they said or did, kids, women, and men that cant defend themselves,.but thats me,.some of these thais it seems have no morals whatsoever, however we do have to bear in mind that most of these types populate Pattaya it seems,.,..

Westerner Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This is absolutely appalling!!! I hope it gets into the UK press - people need to be aware of the dangers of coming to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanibal7 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 agree fork,but i dont agree that they are all in pattaya.phuket is getting dangerous and also kho samui too.also a few incidents in chang mai too. i do agree that pattaya has got more than its share though and the police are not capable in certain incidents.

timekeeper Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well I hope someone sends this to the uk papers and they make it front page then when the tourists stop coming perhaps the Thai authorities will clean up this place but I somehow doubt it. the british tabloids have the story, lets see who jumps on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali4995 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If they were two elderly Thai men, there would be a nationwide press uproar, because as we're taught in learning Thai culture, elders are revered and to be treated with deference. What I'm waiting for now is all the fairy tales about what the farangs did to deserve it. They were swearing at the Thai men. They slapped a Thai child, They urinated on buddha images etc,. They spoke unflatteringly about the current political regime. All the stock excuses to save face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubon9 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Maybe the old boys where looking to take home a thai boy,maybe this time the choose the wrong one. 71-80 years old where they go at that time in the morning around pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The moral of this story is don't take on the Thai police. They can and will do anything with impunity including condoning, ordering, organising and taking part in the vicious beating of 2 elderly unarmed men aged 71 and 80.

Prakanong Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 "My dear, not funny,realistic. I see worst then that in the street of London." "Worse than" my dear chap - As English is obviously your second language and you are probably an immigrant I thought I should help you out - I would not want to seem as mean spirited as you make yourself out to be in your postings above.
