Thai Fist Fight

[Goat Roper]

I just caught the tail end of a couple of punches thrown in a government meeting of some kind today shown of TV channel 3, God I love it! It's about time the Thais get serious about their beliefs and are not afraid to back them up with action, on the spot and in front of TV cameras and for the whole nation and the world to see. I have been in this country for more years than most of you are old and I never thought I would ever see this kind of display in Thai society, yes indeed let the fisticuffs help us decide.

I thought thais were supposed to be good @ boxing, the guy never even flinched.. My mother could have done a better job than that

It comes as no surprise that the first punches ever thrown in the Thai parliament came from a police general.

[sbk]

A 70 some year old police general punched a 50 some year old guy in the mouth a couple of times in the upper house, not MP's. According to hubby, the police general was alluding to some corruption which the younger guy (for some unknown reason) felt was about him although the police genl never named names. The younger guy then got in the older guy's face, and the older guy then popped the younger guy a few times.

Not bad for an old guy

John Prescott would have 'em both.....

Yeah, how ironic...But Prathin has always been a hothead, and the Senate is the most corrupt body- except for the MP's maybe. So many known Major Godfathers like Intarat Yongbaitoey, and even Chat Taopoon....

Pratin had suggested that 'somebody from a northern province'' should be investigated for doing business with Khun Sa... While Adul was speaking...

And the 'fight' was nothing, really...Adul and Pratin walk up on each other, and Pratin pops a couple of lefts. Only the first one barely connected.

The Taiwan Parliment is much better- even the women get into the action with any weapons around... Like Thailand, most of their elected politicians are local corrupt godfather figures

Hehe

Agreed, the Taiwanese really go for it. Kicking, punching, hair pulling.

Men and women in a free for all.

True democracy in action

UPDATE

As opposed to "select" cases, the "normally" slow wheels of Thai justice system grinds on:

Pratin indicted for Senate brawl

Published on January 18, 2006

Former Bangkok senator Pol General Pratin Santiprapop was indicted at the Criminal Court yesterday on charges of physical assault for allegedly punching a fellow senator in November of 2004.

Pratin pleaded innocent. The prosecution accused him of punching Mae Hong Son Senator Adul Wanchaitanawong several times during a Senate meeting after the two had quarrelled over a debate on the violent suppression of protesters in Narathiwat's Tak Bai district.

Pratin was released on bail and ordered to attend every hearing of the case. The first hearing was scheduled for March 6.

It makes a change from the usual drive by shootings we have in Chonburi

[Thaiboxer]

A lot of Thai men learned Muay Thai when they were growing up but I guess these guys didn't. I could just imagine a government meeting turning into a free for all Thai Boxing bout.
