January 1, 201412 yr Popular Post Sounds like they were attacked more like. Please do not try to create civil disorder, nor spread rumours. There is no evidence of an attack, and no witness statements from anyone that is contrary to the explanation given. This station is frequented by thousands of users everyday, none of whom has stated an attack occurred. If it "sounds" like an attack to you, then you need to deal with your own personal fears.
January 1, 201412 yr This almost happened the other day when a major league MORON stopped at the bottom of the escalator to check her SMSs. Fortunately a middle-aged Thai shoved her out of the way...firmly
January 1, 201412 yr Popular Post This would not have happened if they had balloons to keep them upright.
January 1, 201412 yr Who's sari now? BTW I am hoping very much sincerely they are making a wonderful recovery from any minor injuries.
January 1, 201412 yr A well known fact.....Indian tourists have a habit of falling over.....everyone knows that!
January 1, 201412 yr Popular Post Elderly tourists making "fun" of each other causing one to fall and knock the others down? Hmm, there's more to this story I think. Look forward to hearing the tourist's version of events.

You really are out of touch, Just his expression because of the event. Sure the poster didn't mean Attacked as in big mob violence. You accused me of a cheap shot not long ago. Kettle bla comes to mind. Maybe you have the protesters on the brain too much.

January 1, 201412 yr Best wishes to the injured ,it;s horrid to be hurt far from home and mar a vacation,then to receive racist slurs. Would we laugh if it was Israelis,Finns or Montynegros ? Perhaps their plight was due to cowboy maintainance or they had over indulged as many here will have done . Happy New Year to social climbers everywhere.
January 1, 201412 yr Maybe those Indian have never seen an escalator before, hence are not aware of its potential hazard.

"Perhaps their plight was due to cowboy maintainance........" The topic is 8 little Indians riding on an escalator. Why blame the cowboys? Lighten up.
January 1, 201412 yr So the Indian tourists are a bit ..... Either of my nightmares when I have to take an Indian tourist to under water for DSD (discovery scuba dive = not diver, but would like try (and to kill both of us)). If some-one looks at us from enough distance can think I'm fighting hard with a big black fat shark.

Maybe you can ask one of those indians to help you edit your post into intelligible english for the rest of us to fully comprehend its meaning?
January 1, 201412 yr I love threads like this one as they really help to expose the racists/border line racists here on TVF.
January 1, 201412 yr I love threads like this one as they really help to expose the racists/border line racists here on TVF. And which particular posts do you find offensive dear sir? Apart from the garbled post regarding diving with a big black shark.

'Create civil disorder'? You're not all there, are you? So the 'thousands of users' were all using the escalator at the time of the incident and witnessed there was no attack? There probably wasn't an attack but one can understand such speculation due to the common and regular attacks on tourists and expats as have been well documented on this forum.

January 1, 201412 yr It could have been a bump and lift pickpocket. Most pickpockets will be aware Indians don't leave home without at least 30,000 baht in their pocket.
January 1, 201412 yr I remember getting a slap across the back of my head when i mucked about on the escalators when i was a kid .
January 1, 201412 yr One little, two little, three little Indians... four little, five little, six little Indians... seven little, eight little, whoooooops!
January 2, 201412 yr Perhaps their plight was due to cowboy maintainance or they had over indulged as many here will have done . Apologise for that slur at once. My maintenance is of the first order. SC
