Note to self: Do not argue with people outside bars in the early hours of the morning. It never ends well.

All these incidents revolve around alcohol and bars in the early hours of the morning. Same in all countries where people drink too much.

I was threatened with violence from a drunken Canadian women that caught her husband with his pants down at a dark side bar 2 weekends ago. I should have left like the one other guy having a drink there did when the women arrived on the back of a Thai girls motorbike. She even asked for him by name which I will not repeat. I don't agree with violence against anyone, women especially, but she had me thinking I may need to strike back in defense the way she was going. So I did leave with her shouting behind me about how much all men are alike and that she hated all of us!

Note to me in the future: When you see an angry falang wife come into the bar...

Saw this on Channel 3 this morning. Not good at all. Thai men sorry boys, cannot just go 1 on 1, I have been attacked by 2 of them in the past and they both had knifes, stood my ground though.

Don't mess with me lol!!

But I do hope plod catch them.

I think the best advice is never getting to drunk and argueing with drunken ppl, but if somebody try to attack you with a knife you should have the weapon in the link below and able to use it with no mercy, then 2 ppl with a knife getting the shorter end.

What about the other foreign man?

No assistance from him?

What about the other tourists overlooking?

No assistance from them?

If you are a coward, you are a coward, irrespective if you are Thai, farang or from Mars.

,Yes lets all dive in and take our chances on getting killed------ good choice mate(how long have you been here?)

They are preoccupied with places yet more lawless I believe.

Are there really places more lawless than Pattaya?

Iraq and Syria spring to mind

I beg your pardon for sure you forgot Aghanistan, but look at countries who not involved in a kind of war.

The murderer rate: Like Honduras, Venezuela, Belize etc.

Compare to these countries is Thailand almost still a paradise, anyway I also not satisfied with this actually situation in Thailand.

I think her husband deserved this treat, caused only idiots carry water into a river, but you was unfortunatley involved, but you did the right thing you left the fury.

Manchester and Belfast would probably do it without naming countries.....................

Pattaya can be a dangerous at times especially when traveling alone in this huge red light district. I've witness a few bashing from mutipul Thai men towards falung(s)...say or act in a inappropriate manner & it could end in disaster very quickly.

[petercool]

Please be careful with your comments ... Pattaya may have some red light districts but it is NOT - as a city - a "huge red light district". General Pattaya-bashing is not allowed on this forum. Thank you.

Two posts removed - one for sarcasm re a moderator comment and another for implicit Pattaya bashing

I'm surprised the newspaper refers to Scotsman not Brit.

Maybe the newspaper already knows the forthcoming referendum result.

As he is from Scotland, perhaps 'Soct's man' is accurate and correct.

A few years ago I was brutally assaulted by two Thais with pool cues. I ended up in hospital with head injuries. Ironically this also happened on Soi Buakow and it was after an argument over a bar bill that was 3 times bigger than it should have been. The initial argument has been between my Thai wife and the bar staff. As we walked outside two Thai men jumped of a motorbike and attacked me. Other farangs turned a blind eye as I was beaten on the ground. My wife was also punched in the face by one of the men. Later she told me that the Thai men who were friends of the bar owner never once mentioned the money or bar bill. When they were hitting me they just kept shouting insults about farangs.

thai men generally dislike farang men stealing their thai women?

Seems they have a big problem with Scots stealing their women.

In Pattaya? I don't think so.

"Crimes against foreigners are common in Pattaya, which is well known for its red light district"
