harrycallahan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Full copy of his driver's license, http://www.dailynews.co.th/crime/191188 Jesus, what purpose is that? Did his driver's license number motivate the bashing? Next he'll be a victim of identity theft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtomtom69 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Disgusting that this happened BUT being intoxicated surely didn't help things for the Dutchman. I for one have never been intoxicated more than about 4-5 times in my life and given how awful you feel afterwards will probably never drink like that again, indeed I only drink a few times a year on average. Also, every time I have drunk more than I should, I immediately went home (or to whatever my residence was at the time, including a hotel) and that avoided problems for me. I hope that this guy has learned a lesson to avoid a similar fate again next time, even if he claims he was bashed for no apparent reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphMichaels Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 There is more to this story , I dont believe teenagers just start beating a foreigner without a reason. He must have done something wrong in the past.... I agree. He did something before and then the teens worked a methodical stake out. Knew his path patterns and waited for revenge. Looks like they got it. And to presuppose this guy (image) didn't fight back? Right. He fought back but got his tail handed to him on a plate. Or in a bowl.

Popular Post monkeycountry Posted March 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2013 Another Thai style fight 6 against 1. Maybe bravery is one of the things Thais are so proud of? Thinking of it, I do not think I have ever heard of a man to man fight involving a Thai :-) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycountry Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Anyway, I wouldn't bother catching those teens. I recall that university lecturer who recently beat 2 women on video got a 1,000 baht fine (500 per woman), so I assume these teens, if caught, will either have to pay 500 baht each, or perhaps just 500 in total as they only beat 1 guy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post candypants Posted March 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2013 Pathumtani is usually quiet I have been living here for 20 years .... Thai teens dont fight without reason , either he did or said something wrong as apparently he was intoxicated. sometime those teen group don't need much to start a fight. so please tell me, which is it? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Are these types of attacks getting more common??? Maybe there is some sort of anti farang ground swell among Thai teens... :-( He does look like a bit of a scrapper, am surprised that there was not one or two teens laying next to him when the police showed up. Or maybe he bought into the Thai brainwashing of never fighting back, and how important it is to have a cool heart in Thailand. Considering you handle/name.... a little surprised by your first couple of sentences! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnice Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Its not unheard of anywhere for bored teenagers to vandalise property, race bikes etc... its also not unheard of for bored teenagers to attack someone. As such it could easily be a simple case of this guy being in the wrong place at the wrong time with a bunch of bored teenagers out on the prowl looking for a bit of trouble. There were stories of something like this happening years ago where they rode past a westerner and hit him on the back of the head with a plank of wood... Sometimes there simply is no reason regardless of how healthy the guy looks. Just because someone doesn't have a beer gut, it doesn't mean he is a scrapper !! - Some of the comments so far defy intelligence ! Beenj in this same situation myself and I'm 68. Bought a new bike and my mate and i were riding back from a Sunday afternoon ride when 2 youngsters tied to push me off my bike. I stopped and they came back for me. My mate saw what was happening, turned around, and as soon as they saw i had backup they took off like a shot. Wonder what would have been my fate? Suppose i was looking for it or done something wrong in the past hey balo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 6 against 1..... It would be hard to defend against 6 handicap dwarves. The attackers probably had weapons also. It's cowardly act. On the bright side they probably didn't rape or attack anyone else that evening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I can see my friend; don't need to read minds for that. And I assume that what they do is what they want to do. Unless they are forced of course and THEN you are right. lots of people don't act on things they want to do. It's nonsense to say people do what they want. They do what they can get away with. Or at least what they think they can get away with. Edited March 18, 2013 by CobraSnakeNecktie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boone57 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 There are just to many foreigners that need to be taught some respect for these guys to go after an innocent bystander. He probably really does not know what he did but I would bet it was something along the lines of unnecessarily picking up and moving his waiter out of the way so he could get to his chair or quezzing the bar tenders hand and trying to pull him over the bar all the while with some dumb ass bad ass look on his face. Besides if it was racial they would have stoned him or clubbed him. If they wanted money they would have robbed him. These guys wanted satisfaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2013 He looks big for sure but if drunk your at a disadvantage, also many against one.. not good odds. I wonder what the reason is, if he says he did not provoce it and that is true then i really wonder why. Though we have random violence back home in the Netherlands. As to Jurgen fun to see anti Dutch sentiment havent seen it before a new thing. Have you EVER heard of a one on one fight here in the LOS? These two bit punks will only attack in a gang. Unless you are well schooled in the martial arts, what chance do you have against 5-10 punks? Will they ever show the courage to fight like men? Of course not. Do you know why? because they are not men. They are 13 year old boys, in the body of an adolescent, or a young man. It is a disguise. They only will fight in packs, since they do not have a single courageous bone in their body. Whether or not this attack was provoked is besides the point. Even if it was, one man, to one man. Mano a mano. Something the Thai punk kids do not believe in, and a risk they are unwilling to take. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakhonchai nick Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Quite possibly this sort of thing will become commonplace in future Thai men must be getting a bit pissed off that farangs are taking all their women - even though they may get them further down the line as GIKS!

Back in the Netherlands you see it too im sure it happens in the UK too. Not many fair fights anyway. But come on would you attack a guy a head bigger and 20-30 kg heavier then you all alone. I guess you would not most people would not. So those Thai guys would either not attack him or do it in groups. Nobody goes into a fight they can't win. Just a fact of life there are almost no fair fights outside a ring, maybe long ago but i bet even then people used things to make fights more "equal". I don't condone this but its not a Thai thing its happening all over the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lookingeast Posted March 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) There is more to this story , I dont believe teenagers just start beating a foreigner without a reason. He must have done something wrong in the past.... "I dont believe teenagers just start beating a foreigner without a reason" - well it depends what you mean by 'a reason' doesn't it ? Random aggression, theft, or a score to settle have resulted in Farangs have been beaten, robbed, chased, half-killed, about 20 times to my knowledge in the space of 3 years in the small city in Isaan where i live. Attacks on long-term farangs are way more common than any official figures indicate - i am absolutely sure of that from local, personal knowledge. And yes, sometimes it is virtually 'without a reason'. One small anecdote : i was walking along a riverside promenade with my lady one evening, and a young Thai nearly crashed into us by riding a m'cycle too close at about 30 kph - also narrowly missing all the toddlers, parents and grannies who take the air every evening. I shouted OI ! in my best sarf lonun tone, and the Thai teen screeched to a halt and started posing up with all the signs he wanted a ruck. We carried on walking and he started his bike and joined a small gang of his mates at the middle of the promenade where there are some shops. We tried to ignore him but as we leaned on the railings looking at the river, he kept squaring up to us and doing a strange walking back and forth dance of aggression. I wouldn't have minded a one-on-one given the mood i was in, but of course if we'd made even the slightest move towards him, we'd have had the whole posse to deal with...so we took the more diplomatic option and walked into the shops and out the other side onto a main road. My lady was on edge for an hour afterwards. When i asked her why he reacted so badly to just being yelled at, she of course said : 'Loss of face'. Guess what ? My first thought - he deserves to lose some of it... So i'm afraid you don't know much about living in Thailand if you really believe that Thai teens wouldn't beat foreigners "for no reason" - depending of course on whether you mean a "justified reason", or some 'reason' created in their demented brains.

RuskiCat Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 There is a long pointless argument going on with neither side making any sense.We do not know what happened. He could have provoked them or could have been a random act of violence.Why not wait to hear more details before passing judgement on the Thai's or the victim?
