potentially libellous post removed

6) You will not post comments that could be reasonably construed as defamation or libel.

Defamation is the issuance of a statement about another person or business which causes that person to suffer harm. It does not have to be false to be defamatory. Libel is when the defamatory statement is published either in a drawing, painting, cinematography, film, picture or letters made visible by any means, or any other recording instruments, recording picture or letters, or by broadcasting or spreading picture, or by propagation by any other means. Defamation is both a civil and criminal charge in Thailand.

Why was a Kuwaiti national in a bar in the first place?

Regrettably most thais are under the impression they they can do whatever they like to any farang with complete impunity. Luckily in this case the police sided with the assaulted farang, but this is not the usual case, and until thai attacks on foreigners go unpunished the reputation of Thailand will continue to slide

[ExPratt]

They are getting hammered of late , all seems to have started with the self inflicted Visa runs crack down

Glad to see law enforcement which does not exist when police take bribes. A year ago nothing at all would have happened to the person who committed the assault or the bar manager.

...it's getting frightening around here......

[RigPig]

Well that got rid of a few opposition business for 60 days anyway, less competition in low season.....

No one was paid so arrests were made. Sounds familiar.

[Emster23]

"employees were shocked" and amazingly not by substandard wiring. Also, what is this about "dancers dancing"? I wouldn't worry about "Pattaya's good image". That has been locked away in a deep dark place for so many years no one knows where it is kept.

Why, this crap happens every day in Pattaya... The only difference this time is that the plod actually did something...

[Time Traveller]

There's no law in Thailand saying Kuwaiti people are prohibited from bars.

Even if there was, not many people observe the law anyway...but if the guy was a Muslim, he should have been guided by the koran

[Alwyn]

Great news! Let's hope these animals realise there is comeback! (unless they pay quickly i guess)

[kurnell]

I like it when people pretend that there is ever gonna be fair treatment for falangs in Thailand

[Equalizer]

Walking Street is dangerous no doubt about it. These plastic gangsters will run into the wrong person one day. I had a friend and a girl run into his bike and wanted 500baht. He refused, this was soi 8. An hour later 12 bouncers from a establishment in walking street came down and all jumped him. Funny thing was when they stopped he sat back down and carried on drinking, his face was a bit red however if that is the level of damage 12 grown Thai men can do with their fists its not surprising they all carry guns.
