Woken at 4am by a friend crying into the phone and wailing about some fight. Taxi ride to sukhumvit later and it turns out she has been knocked around by her on/off farang 'boyfriend' who frequently visits her when he is in Bangkok.

Turns out he is a bit of a crack head.. so no surprises there that his personality changes frequently.

Why do some guys think it's ok to hit girls? This is something I will NEVER understand, and I can even sympathise with the worst types of crime on some levels.

Rant over. Anyone have experiences to share on this theme?

Unfortunate, but the lady should be gone after the first boxing match. Anyone who smacks around a lady isn't a man.

Agree with Brit....but hey she has the ball in her court....why does she allow him to visit her frequently if he beats her up ??

Most bar girls know some very nasty people.

She will teach him some manners when she gets tired of it.

Anyone have experiences to share on this theme?

Yes, Don't get involved.

Every so often you see stories in the Thai newspaper or pattayamail about a farang killing his Thai gf (or his western gf). You don't hear much about beatings. I have heard of bargirl fights too.

Please discuss the ladies of the night here.
