A Homeless Thai Dude Takes A Beating

[jackdawson]

There's been this homeless, glue sniffing, thirtyish Thai dude on my soi for the past two or three years. Maybe an eye problem; he sometimes has gauze taped to one eye. Two nights ago I'm minding my own business, drinking a large one, looking at my intended when I hear an incredibly loud whack. Looking left, I see shards of plastic flying into the soi. The homeless dude has a knife (!) in his hands which I guess was too much for a couple of the fruit seller guys to ignore. Man did they lay into this dude. The pastic chair they were using totally disintegrated and the dude fell ass backwards into the soi. What I like about the Thais is how they kept whacking the guy when he was down. Eventually, he limped off and got horizontal on the steps in front of the Family Mart (strangely enough, right where the homeless German dude now "living" on Soi Diana in Pattaya use to sometimes hang). A couple of cops came on a motorcy. On the way home w/ my "friend," we walked by the dude; blood everywhere.

Note to self; plastic chairs, used properly, can hurt and hurt bad.

Haven't seen the homeless dude since.

Once witnessed a similare kind of guy, (heard he was doing or selling yaba) grabbed by the local vigilantes by the klong on soi 49; lashed to the tire of a car while about 4 guys beat him with wooden sticks and bats. Very horrific to watch; torture, pure and simple.

A few years ago there was an incident at a Bangkok bus stop where some Thai, drunk to say the least, grabbed a a schoolboy as hostage and demanded to be taken to Ekamai bus station, among other things. When the citizens finally got the kid away from him they let loose some whoop-ass and when the police finally got there the guy needed a hospital. I think this made international news.

The Thais can be stoic, but when they let loose it all comes gushing out. My guess is your 'buddy' had been on a lot of people's nerves for a while, and when he crossed the line he got served up what had been simmering for a long time.

Well if you pull a knife on someone, you better be prepared to cop a server beating.

server beating.

Is that a Freudian slip by someone having problems with download speed over the weekend ?

Finally a good heart felt story.

Saw an older white dude once getting beat by a lady boy (slap slap). He must have stiffed her/him and tried to get away without paying....

than again, who knows...may be he enjoyed it.

Since the police do little or nothing it seems it is up to the locals to met out justice.
