Goat Roper Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 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.

camerata Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 It comes as no surprise that the first punches ever thrown in the Thai parliament came from a police general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarn Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 It comes as no surprise that the first punches ever thrown in the Thai parliament came from a police general. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Agreed, the Taiwanese really go for it. Kicking, punching, hair pulling. Men and women in a free for all. True democracy in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sriracha john Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) 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.

Thaiboxer Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
