jerrysteve Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Having the both the 2 Irish lads reinact the scene and the victums reinact the scene of the crime should prove to be quite interesting. Of course, the Thai victums will have the edge I am quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) "The bar owner identified one of the suspects as Darren Philip Delaney." The Bar owner knows this guy really well, I have close personal friends whom I have known for 20+ years and if you ask me what thier middle names are, I wouldn't have a clue. So I can only assume that the two alledged offenders were not simply tourists but long term expats who frequent this bar and the owner is a Farang also. A Thai person would identify someone as Mr Darren. A middle name means nothing to a Thai and a Thai would not identify him as Darren "Philip" Delany. If you showed the bar owner a picture of one of the suspects and the bar owner said 'that's him' he wouldn't know the name of the suspect he's just identified. That identification would come from the police or someone else who knows the name of they guy in the picture...

chrisinth Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Um yep you should try that "According to the bar owner, Delaney who seemed badly intoxicated, followed the girl back to the bar and angrily demanded his money back. The bar owner quickly complied to Delaney's request but that did not calm him down." Facts According to whom? Refunds are always easily forthcoming in Thailand yes? One side of story does not make it FACT Whats a bar fine? Two of his girls offering sex for money? Can't happen, not allowed in Thailand. Hope the police have a go at the bar owner! Strange nothing more was said about the first two people that were taken to hospital (Thai or Farang?) on the Irish guys 1st return visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugg Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Gang of Thais attack foreigners over jet ski dispute. Did the police arrest them?

chrisinth Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 what is it with us brits......any trouble / fighting , I'm ashamed to say, 90% chance on us up to our necks in it...... Us brits............their irish! To be fair there's a fairly substantial number of British people living on the Island of Ireland but I doubt you'd really know about much outside your own county Most Irish guys would go balistic if you called them Brits. That of course is from the Republic; I'm from Northern Ireland, born under the Union Jack, but that is something different and we don't want to go down that road! Because there are British people living in Ireland, I don't see what difference that makes to the Irish?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Why don't you read the facts before posting? I have a simple explaination for that...the link didn't take me to the article and I couldn't see a link to the article on the main page so I just commented on the original post. Edit : I don't believe for one minute the bar owner just handed over the money without some major problems. it's in the original post, no need to Link anywhere. Later that night, Delaney, accompanied by his friend, Thomas Plunkett, came back and began to attack the motorcycle taxi drivers and security guards in front of the bar. Witnesses told the police that Plunkett was responsible for stabbing the 2 victims. message to Plunkett ,,, baaa you sheep, with friends like Delaney, you don't need enemies, how to get yourself roped into a hell hole! Don't understand this one, according to the quote above, it was Plunkett that was responsible for the stabbings. Seems strange if this is true that he was lead astray.

darhut Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 i donnt think for one second that the bar owner gave the irish men their money back just no way.when a foreigner gets the better of these parasites they make up a big story and call the police.of course there was no foreign witnesses there are never any..i was never in trouble in thailand only coz i walked away even when i was in the right.im sick of those thai rip of merchants.take the sex out of it thailand would have verry little tourists Rusty Dick maybe you should get yourself out of the bar scene and have a bit of a look around Thailand (and SE Asia), there are many tourists in Thailand that come for many other reasons other than what you are there for. Fair enough the sex/party tourist are concentrated in a few small areas but there is so much more to see in Thailand than just that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze01 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not sure how anyone can defend the actions of these two thugs. Regardless of the reputation of Thais ganging up on farang at the slightest provocation. If in fact the chain of events played out as related in the article, these two thugs will be pumping iron in the monkey house for a long time. I wonder if some of the posters here have ever encountered a drunk, tatted, steriod freak from the UK before. Not a pleasant experience I can assure you. Let's put it this way, whenever in a bar and I hear a UK accent coming from a drunk and there are more than two of them, I check bin and go somewhere else as there will invariably be a fracus. So you believe the bar staff, taxi guys and police? The fact that the Thais were cut and not the other way around leads me to believe the story. Not to mention another poster on this thread verified that the bar owner returned the bar fine. It would be interesting to hear the statements of the original 2 farang that were "allegedly" attacked by the Irishmen. In my experience, Thais are quite tolerant of farang antics, up to a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you believe the bar staff, taxi guys and police? How can you not PaulJones? Not that the witnesses are identified by race in any case.... They came to the bar to get their barfine and fought with Farangs. The Thais helped break it up and they left. Security guard just doing his job. What you would all be saying if the Thais had all just stood back and let him kick the crap out of the Farangs is another story. Then they went back to the bar! Why would they go back a second time? It doesn't matter who pulled the knife originally, if you willingly put yourself into a fight it's not self defense, it's stupidity. All over a few hundred baht and some roid-ego They came back a second time because they had to go home to get their knives. If they'd had the knives the first time the two farang they beat up would have had knife wounds. The knife was used the second go round, on the Thai's only. These two used the knife only on the Thai's. They must be racist as well as drunken roid freaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the story clearly states that "THE BAR OWNER" identified him as Darren Philip Delany. The story does not say that a suspect has been identified as a Darren Philip Delany. Police; "Do you know who may have done this?" B/Owner "yes it was Darren Philip Delany." (An irishman with a strong Liverpudlian accent) I hope in the name of justice that the police did not just show the bar owner a single photgraph of a suspect but compiled a complete photoboard of people of the same sex, ethnic background, and appearance, nor did they simply have the suspect in a one man lineup. Sorry Endure I am not having a go at you, it is just in my nature to pick the bones out of things like this. I guess it comes with the job.

kevkev1888 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I drink in New Plaza quite a bit, never seen any bad attitude from any Thais there. Any trouble I have ever seen has always been from idiot drunk farang, with the Thais being very restrained in the way they dealt with it. My guess is these two where bang out of order and I hope they get what they deserve, a long time in prison! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Sooner , or later, the taxi dudes will encounter some street fighting farangs when they do not have 10 freinds to back them up. Looks like it just happened. After what happened to the Estonian lads in 2008--one dead, two others injured--I have little sympathy for the little bullies. https://www.google.c...iw=1280&bih=626 So just like these irishmen they also went back looking for trouble esxcept this time it was the farang who came off second best...... dumbasses.

bipper Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don't think these guys were nice people. I went the other day to an Irish pub near my home and I saw some young patrons becoming obnoxious and loud. What if the situation would be reversed? Suppose two Thai guys get drunk in a pub in Ireland and start to become nasty with the patrons and the girls.... Drunks with weapons? It sounds a bit like most Sat nights in Temple Bar......Not Thai of course just English, Scots, Welsh, Estonian, Dutch, Swedish etc etc etc and a few Irish as well......I must say though these pair do not sound like honset upstanding citizens and prob deserve what's coming!

mrjonyoung Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some people don't like being picked on by a mob and will retaliate. It's quite telling that there are four victims here and only two suspects. It seems to me like the usual situation where a mob attacked a couple of people but this time the mob lost the brawl. That's right. Blame the 'Thai mob' Read the story. The Irish returned to get their money back. The owner gave them their money. They weren't satisfied for some reason, caused more ruckus and assaulted two customers in the bar. Staff and motorcycle guys came to aid of bar owner. The Irish left. The bar was shut down and owner of bar takes two unidentified victims to hospital. The two farangs then returned to the bar and started the brawl with the 4 Thai guys who had probably forced them to leave after the money was refunded. Why don't you read the facts before posting? Read facts? not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanlic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Being an expat from sunny Glasgow I've ashamedly seen it all before and it makes me sick to my stomach that this bunch of scruff come here causing trouble. Most of you will agree Thailand, whether it is Pattaya, Bangkok or Buriram is for lovers not fighters and this type are in a minority. I want to see it stay that way. Any farang who carries a blade or doesn't take the chance to walk away from trouble when he has it is bad news and I sincerely hope the Thai Police make sure that an example is set and these guys are put away for a very long time. So long, it hits every newspaper in the western world and sends the message "Don't come here" to all like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would say the bar owner lied and did not give the irish guys their money back, and the irish guys lost their temper. Some people dont like to be cheated? Some people chose to believe in God or Buddha. Your choices are no less valid.

Don't take a job as a prosecutor whatever you do The girls went to his house which he could have owned or rent long term or short term. Most likely he's not a tourist I'll give you that Either way they knew where he lived and the girls would surely know his "Wa' Yua name?" Police would ask the girls where he stayed, go there grab him and his passport take him back to the bar "Is this the guy?"

And to Paul Jones - this is not a "Jet Ski scam" it is far from it, not all Thais are of the same ilk as those scum on the beach, your references and generalisations are dissapointing, I know the staff who work in New Plaza and they certaintly are far from violent and as already mentioned usually are extremely tolerant to some very rude drunk falangs on a daily basis, maybe they won't be so tolerant now when they see where it can get them I wonder if this is the same Delainy that was banged up in Liverpool for 18months threatening to slice some police officers with a sword - you never know New Plaza is a peaceful and usually safe place to have a beer, the only violence I've ever seen there in 3 years has been 100% falangs with no Thais involved - English bar owners beating up drunk customers - drunk falang customers fighting each other, the Thai guys involved in this did not do anything wrong of that I am 100% certain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do know that loads of people from there solve their problems with weapons, considering a knife as one. A British guy I'm working with had just told me that he wouldn't fight with somebody.
