Belgian attacked in the street after altercation with clothes vendor in North Pattaya

PATTAYA: -- A Belgian resident of Pattaya was attacked outside a clothes shop in Naklua on Monday Afternoon, following a verbal altercation with the shop owner over the positioning of his car on the street. Police were called to the front of the Gaetgeaw Clothes Shop located on the Naklua Road, opposite the entrance to Soi Wongamat and spoke with the shop owner, Khun Gasaem aged 73. Nearby, on the road, was a pool of blood which was the result of an attack on Mr. Gianni aged 39 by a passenger on a motorbike which reportedly drove past him as he stood on the road, moments after the altercation. Mr. Gianni had already been taken to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya for treatment and we understand a dispute over the Hospital Bill took place and Police also determined he was in possession of an expired Passport. The original altercation in front of the shop was caused by a reflection coming from Mr. Gianni’s parked pick-up which was causing problems for Khun Gasaem who requested Mr. Gianni move the vehicle slightly to stop the reflection of the Sun coming off the vehicle. Although he agreed to move the car, he was angry with the shop owner and claimed he was a Police Officer working for the Belgium Embassy in Bangkok.

Guess the Belgian is in for a long stay at the IDC before he can return to his "Police Officer" duties in Bangkok.

No one deserves to get bashed for that, there is a fair bit of blood on the ground.

Imagine parking your car and you start walking and some guy says move your car again because there is a reflection in my shop ..<deleted>? ..

A 39 year old farang having a go at a 73 year old Thai - is anyone surprised that someone else hit him??

Khun Gasaem who requested Mr. Gianni move the vehicle slightly to stop the reflection of the Sun

Understandably, Khun Gasaem has no knowledge of the fact that the Earth rotates around its axis and the angle of reflection would change in a few minutes.

in the article, it states: "Police checked security cameras which showed the attack which followed and cannot be sure if it took place as a result of an earlier altercation somewhere else or the altercation which was caught-on-camera. The Investigation continues." So they seem to think it wasn't his first run in of the day and the attack was possibly unrelated to the parking incident. No where does it say the 73 year old shop keeper attacked the 39 year old Belgian. And no where did I say he deserved to get bashed...

Great post.

Not having a government 526 days after the last election, must have disturbed him.

Working as a police officer at the Belgium Embassy with an expired passport.

Belgium must be the 'Thailand' of Europe

surprised the shop owner said anything at all....normally they just puncture your tyres with nails or the like

What makes the Belgian guy a jerk?

Looking at the pictures, it seems he left quite a large amount of his blood on the sidewalk. Do you think he is a 'real jerk' cos he didn't have a good sense to bleed in some place more private?
