Was walking along my local beach today with my Ex. who has come over for a 3 week holiday. We pass a few resorts on this stretch till we get to the end and then walk back again. I happened to mention to her that sometimes you will see a wedding in progress and low and behold, in the distance there was one either getting set up or was over as the couple were there but no guests around just a couple of Thai people helping her with her dress.(I thought afterwards maybe it was just a photo shoot for a magazine). As we are two auld romantics, we stopped to look at the goings on and admire the couple and the lovely set up. All of a sudden the bride started moving her hand from side to side or back and forth like she was motioning to us, we were at least 50 mtrs. away so couldn't see too clearly, my Ex thought she was asking us to come over and have a celebration drink as there were no guests. Then like a horse that had bolted, the groom appears from nowhere running down towards us and started <deleted> and blinding at me for stopping on the beach telling me to pass quickly. I pointed out to him that this is a public beach and if I want to stop I will stop (would have been different if he had asked politely). At that he went ballistic and put his face right up to mine and said if he had me back in Russia he'd cut me up in little pieces. I asked him why he was so angry, had he recently purchased the beach? He said he paid a lot of money for it. I said you may have paid for the resort area but not for the public beach (we were at the water's edge). He started to walk away then turned and came back and said to the Ex, ..."take this little piece of sh-t away". At this I just laughed and walked away. ..The Ex had a good laugh too......I asked her what she was laughing at.... she said "he called you a little shit, look at him, he's only half your size"..... I wish him a very happy future but if he is this angry on his wedding day I'd hate to see him if he ever has the misfortune to need a divorce.

Happy New Year all.

Lol. Funny story. What a knob.

No doubt with a temper like that, he will last long in Thailand.

Pity you could organise a few more visitors to the beach to stir him up. 555555

Yeah, if it was nearby would have popped down

At this I just laughed and walked away...

I would never allow someone to talk to me like that, and I sure as heck would not have complied with the 'order' to march on. I would have remained at the same location or even closer to the wedding area, simply out of spite. I also would not allow anyone to yell at me in my face... a head-butt would certainly come from it.

The OP may laugh this off, but seriously I'm questioning why he backed down? Stand your ground next time.

I noted the word Russia,in the,OP.

Is this a bashing thread or what.?

No it's because the OP wasn't rushing...that's what upset the groom.

Operative word-Russian.

did the bride look thai or russian?

i note you say it was she who kicked it off

No, he wasn't rushin along the beach quick enough.

She would of been number 43 from loveyoulongtime bar. She will be back at work next week when her husband heads back to Moscow.

Good to see you reacted in the best way. Things like this are best treated as water off a ducks back.

He, for a short wile at least, felt bad. You on the other hand saw the funny side of it. Who is the fool?

Was he wearing speedos?

Sounds like another Ruski wanting a marriage visa.

Lucky for you, you never had a camera. Then he would have gone all Stalin on your ass.

I would have been funnier if you had dropped him in his tracks on his wedding day...

Since when is a description of a pr##k considered bashing?

So some idiot considers it Russian bashing because the twerp was Russian? I don't get it?

It might have been Vladimir.

So some idiot considers it Russian bashing because the twerp was Russian? I don't get it?

Tree hugging liberals don't want anything direct said. Sounds like The Ruskie was being a bellend. Therefore perfectly acceptable to call him a bellend

Should have told him you came across to look as that girl got married there last month, and the month before in the same place...

She marries a different nationality every month........yyeaahhhhh

One reason I did not do as you suggest Gumballl is because I am 66 and he looked like a psychopath on speed of about 33. I like my teeth as they are and don't wish to lose them because of my ego. One of the reasons I have reached my age is because I have learned over the years how to control my own temper in situations like this when dealing with idiots. Laughing at them makes them feel more stupid. I didn't march off or walked off as i stated I went as I came...strolling and laughing.

You may notice Hedghog...I did not state what country he was from....I simply repeated what he said to me..

She didn't look Thai.

You did well sir.....although a quick call to the friends and family could have seen u with the opportunity to play a spot of beach cricket

he didnt lose ground. yelling means nothing.

People do not have to respond to yelling with violence. Nor even by raising your own voice. If attacked physically, that is a different matter. I feel the OP handled the matter very well.

The Russian was certainly way over the top thinking he had bought the beach for whatever length of time. Maybe he was scammed by some cleverer than he Thai person

Warrior I guess you mean (or maybe w4nkr)

There are a lot of them, keyboard, bar stool, sofa; all trained, alert and prepared for action by watching a couple of movies and downing a few beers.

Walk away is ALWAYS the best response.

At this I just laughed and walked away...

Unless your life is in danger, it is better to back down and walk away

In Thailand 'discretion is the better part of valour'. No need to be Mr. Macho Man. You handled it just right. I'm surprised that your ex didn't remark that you were a bigger shit than him. Or was your wording diplomatic?

I agree entirely Gumballl, but everything changes if the guy was Thai for obvious reasons.
