upinthesky Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Just saw on spring news, a farang got assaulted by soldiers while he was trying to help someone in the area. His nose was bleeding with blood while interview by reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Another piece of sensationalist racist reporting, using race to stir up emotion and prejudice. Foreigners have been told often enough by the Thai government, by the police, and by their own governments to stay away.

TAWP Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 'helping someone' that is inside the area means he is clearly in breach of the law himself. Perhaps he should be happy he wasn't arrested too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 He doesn't seem to be getting a lot of sympathy. I'll know where not to come next time I do something stupid and take a kicking for it. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
