How can you be a teenager when you are 25 ? They use a special lotion or creme ?

How can 4 people armed with weapons attacking people simply be abuse? More like affray and assault with a weapon serious crimes in Australia

They are identified as Mr. Chaowarit Srikhlai, aged 25 and Mr. Oh, aged 19.

If Mr. Chaowarit is a teenager, then Mr. Oh is just an adolescent. Just needs some TLC.

If using body mass index, it was probably a fair fight between the groups.

You must have X-Ray eyes or something, or maybe mine aren't working today because I didn't read anything about the Russians being drunk. Where did it say that?

soi41 obviously feels he is quality and superior to the Russian tourists. I wonder how he works that one out?

[thhMan]

Well, this is what happens when Thailand thinks that it doesnt matter that the quality tourists dont come here anymore.

No disrespect, but a business can not function when a gang of tourists come and share 1 coke.... or if they are feeling extra rich, a beer. (Please do not think I am suggesting they are indian)

And no disrespect to the Russians either. You see them walking all over the place to avoid the 10 THB baht bus fees.

Or the Chinese that are crammed into buses and allocated places where they can and cannot shop.

Sure, there is a lot of sarcasm in what I said, but the reality is that "nevermind" when the high paying tourists stop coming, is not paying the wages and there is no sense of community pride with the Thai population, or they would be fighting to rid certain parts of Thailand from this anti tourist scum that is affecting their livelihood.

[jackh]

So curious why any foreigner would choose to stay in LOS. You all best be watching your ass! It's only going to get worse now that the bar has been set at 500B fine for dangerous assault by a Thai.

It's open season on foreigners now.

[kingalfred]

Well they have the tourist court on their side and will get a slap on the wrist and a 500 bht fine. 

there,s a joke court to match all the other courts in Thai.who remembers the phrase "Crime doesn't Pay" ? Well as with many issues in LoS it's the opposite fact.

It's true .... you did not read !!!

[chooka]

Well last week was Australia week. British week next I'm guessing

[SOTIRIOS]

...they look like they could hardly get out of a chair...how likely is it that they decided to set upon 5 guys....

(...oh, sorry...if a Thai says so...)....then why did the other 3 run off......and these 2 had to be caught.....such nonsense that has to pass for truth....

[little mary sunshine]

They look like the same two loud-mouth, fat, obnoxious drunks causing

problems in the restaurant two nights ago, If so, they should have

be hit much harder....Really low life pond scum, those two............

Ah.. So it was just a racist remark, that's okay then. I thought my eyes were playing up or something!!

[H1w4yR1da]

Quality tourists welcomed by quality locals!!

Yeah, you're oh-so superior, aren't you?

Those disgusting tourists, how dare they go out drinking in Pattaya?

[Larry001]

5 against 2!! Gee not the expected odds for a Thai gang!!

[lostmebike]

Quality tourists welcomed by quality locals!!

And it happened at 1 15 am in front of some girly-bars. 'Toilet of the world'

[Loles]

Very High So tourists get a very HIGH SO local service.

[bushwacker]

Tourist Minister today plans to introduce a Plan to Kill the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. Chief of Police states that he does not see the need to change the shift rotation as his officiers like to be home with the family for dinner followed by drinking with friends and TV watching.

Tourists on holidays need to be more disciplined and not go out after dark and do not drink outside of their hotel rooms. Land of Smiles is only open from sunrise to sunset .... then it becomes the Hub of Street Gangs!

[Loles]

AND ............................ of course 500 B fine

[rcox81]

And I was planning my first trip to Pattaya next week...

[Halion]

Getting really sick and tired of all this crap on "quality tourists" It is totally meaningless and as ineffectual as "quality locals". Pattaya acts as a magnet for this sort of depravity and all quality tourists would bring is deeper pockets for the scum bags that roam the streets free from meaningful retribution.

[rcox81]

25-year old teenagers, that's a new one.

Everybody that isn't Thai and a tourist no matter what country they are from ,sooner or later that nationality is making headlines!

We see many Russian tourists involved in incidents a little more often then the rest of the world .That's because they are the largest group visiting the LoS these days .I remember over the years belligerent people of all countries that have tourists here in numbers ,getting into skirmishes with the locals all over LoS!

There is a common denominator involved and that is BOOZE !

People that drink , not all of us mind you , get into fights allot more then non-imbibers!

So instead of telling us what Country the tourist or ex-pat are from , they should tell you what state of inebriation they are in . Cause one thing for certain , bad drunks are bad drunks , and every country has them '

Plus ,when your in a "raise some hell " atmosphere like many places in the world has, the bad drunks always seem

bent on ruining a good time for all us Happy Boozers ! It's just the way it is , so its time to stop bad mouthing the countries,

and put the blame where it belongs MR. BOOZE , a friend of the Devil , who rears his ugly face on certain people.

As my Dad use to say " I never go out on NY's Eve , cause that's when all the amateur boozers go out and cause too many problems!" Ain't it the truth , and here it feels like NY's Eve every night in the Party Zones of Thailand ,and a few other cities in the world like the French Quarter in New Orleans or the Combat Zone of Boston ; as just a few more examples!
