Popular Post Equalizer Posted September 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2014 Back in Roman times if a soldier stepped out of line every 10th man in his unit would get whipped almost to death. Because of this a Roman soldier never turned his back on the enemy, doing so would be certain death from his own men. I know this is extreme but it has always been my belief that the only real solution to most of today's problems is by making the offending criminals immediate circle equally responsible for their actions. I believe in punishing parents for the actions of their offspring. I also believe that the tour operator these men worked for should get a 6 month closure ban. You piss the people off around them and the wrath will surely follow. I do not believe in state sponsored justice worldwide anymore, it does not work. I remember the whole class getting kept behind after school because of one disruptive pupil during a lesson. He never disrupted the class again after this and it was not the teachers who saw to that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outsider Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 "Police said that after watching security camera footage and examining two photos taken by one of the witnesses they will track down and arrest the four “in the hope of restoring the [island’s] tourism image." That's all they know, or worry about, isn't it - face, image, white skin... They get stupider and stupider by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upena Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 As the Tourism Authority of Thailand has been telling for the past 2 weeks, Thailand is as safe as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopis108 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 What is it with these Thai thugs who are perpetually forgiven by the police with one excuse or another-like the rich moron parents who aways-but always- come up with the absurd statement- that their good sons would never do something like that,it is such a shame that Thailand seems to be slowly imploding by ignoring all these horrendous crimes..

Popular Post BestBitterPhuket Posted September 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) These "tour guides" should be arrested for attempted murder and NEVER be allowed to work in the tourist industry again. Why have they not been arrested before? It says they have done this before. Is the so called police protecting these gangsters as well? For how long shall Thailand allow thugs, criminals and gangsters operate in the tourist industry? There are many good honest people working in the tourist industry in Thailand, but their image is spoilt. It's a good reason to punish these criminals harder than normal. They have committed two crimes. One against the innocent Chinese man and the second against the nation of Thailand. The Thai people who damages the country's reputation and name, should be treated like traitors.

MobileContent Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 This will surely be on the Chinese newspapers in the next day or two. Koh Yao, Phuket, Pattaya and who knows what happened in Pattaya or Samui over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafish Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 An obvious case of "Mistaken Identy," by the Perp.'s. They actually wanted his brother who is an illegal Chinese Tour guide living in Phket illegally as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunjamesjohnson Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Please let this story run and run in the Chinese press. Fortunately he was wearing normal clothes I presume. A few weeks ago the Russians got the wake up call when that beach thug abused that lady sunbathing. Then the horrible deaths of the British couple and police monkey business Last week the gang assault video surfaced kicking some tourists head in. Today the Chinese get the treatment. The Indian and Arabs are constant marks for the jet ski scam. Throw in a dose of TukTuk/Taxi mafia with a sprinkle of military dictatorship and what do you get? By by tourists.

pumpuy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Once again 'restoring the Thai tourist image' is of top priority, don't worry about the safety and wellbeing of visitors. There really is not much " face " left to lose by now . Thailands reputation changes from the " land of smiles " , ( after they hit you on the had with an iron bar , they probably smile... ) to a dangerous country ... !

Thaiready Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 2012 I was waiting for the train to arrive at the station.......train stopped and the railway station filled up with new arrivals and tuk tuk drivers. One of the new arrivals asked me the way to the border with Laos.....on walking distance i replied.......and was nearly molested by a tuk tuk driver accusing me of robbing him from a 200 bath opportunity. and all i did was merely being polite, something the local tuk tuk drivers never heard off. TIT you should have slapped the $hit out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he know how the illegal tourist guide competitors in a foreign country might look so he can make sure to differentiate himself from em o.O What's next?

Jimbolai Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Iron bars? Should be attempted murder at the least, along with whatever other charges are appropriate. Yeah let's see what actually happens in this case. I'm also thinking it will be a 500 baht fine each. Do we ever get to know what the penalties are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasutton Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If this is true it is terrible. Having said that the blood looks fake to me. It is too bright red to be real. Also if he was hit with iron bars on the head he would not be standing. I call this a staged event until I see the xrays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 As stated in other threads, as the tourist dollar starts to dry up on Phuket, due to the demographic of tourist coming here now, crime will increase, but of particular concern, will be the level of violence used in committing that crime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrycallahan Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 "The whole incident was caught on camera by a witness and police have been able to identify them as a group of Phuket tour guides who have previously attacked Chinese nationals" At the end of the piece they raise concerns about the foreign language proficiency of Thai tour guides; the propensity to whack foreigners about the head with iron bars an after thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sparkles Posted September 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2014 Lets not go overboard, its not just Thailand, an 18 yr old man in Australia has just been shot and killed by police after stabbing 2 officers with a knife and after threatening to murder unknown people. Laws have, or are being introduced, in Australia for "one punch'' king hits which have recently left a number of Australians dead or in a coma usually brought on by alcohol abuse.. The falling standards of public behaviour and irresponsibilty is a plague sweeping the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansnl Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 “Four men arrived on three motorcycles and ganged up on Mr Guo while he was sitting in the front yard." Cowards. It's never one on one. "Police believe the four mistook their victim for an illegal tour guide and attacked him because of frustration at the illegal competition for work." Oh, Ok then... "...so that tourists can appreciate Thai culture and will want to return." Please be so kind to tell me what the gain would be, in an attack, to be doing this on a one to one basis Surely you must understand being in a four to one position would be much healthier for the attacker? In an attack like this nothing to do with cowardice, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
