kdrayong Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 "Interesting" and completely different version of the story on the FB page of Honey Bar. A little "different" from what was described as witnesses statements. So now pick your choice https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=787847624613642&id=166996206698790 Re: News Report Honey Bar Drunken Customer. This incident has been grossly misreported in the media. I was in the bar when it happened. The American guy was drunk and refused to pay his bar bill. He became very abusive at the girls and cashier, using threatening gestures and extreme swear words at them. The cashier called the security guard in the bar complex for assistance. Totally unprovoked, the guy swung a punch at the security guard who was knocked off his feet. Motorcycle taxi drivers from the local stand witnessed the totally unprovoked attack and immediately went to his assistance. After receiving first-aid, the guy walked away from the bar complex. Police later impounded his motorcycle and took copies of his unpaid bar bill. The guy did not offer or pay any of his bar bill. No customers left the bar afterwards in protest. The security guard gave a statement to the police and was not charged with any offence. Indeed! The version by the owner of the Honey Bar is very different to the version of the witness, who was just there for having a drink during his vacation.

Loptr Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 When I drink in a bar here I pay for my drinks as I order them. Running up a bar tab here can lead to problems as many of these bars are struggling to earn a living and will try and add the odd drink to the bill,I have been here many years and seen numerous tourists get into grief with locals here on Samui over bar bills ,taxi fares etc ,these locals will attack mob handed and tooled up if the odds are heavily stacked in there favour. pay as you go in bars and always negotiate taxi fares to avoid possible trip to the hospital or even the morgue. Bingo... Hold all calls, we have a winner... I've been doing this for decades and have never had this problem... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I know the Honey Bar; German owned, I believe; and the complex it is in. It's next to a bar I regularly drink at. A bar bill of 1300 Baht equates to about 20 beers and I know the Honey Bar does a "drink 9, get one free deal", so the guy has probably had more than 20 beers. I'd be unconscious with that amount of beer in me. I know that security on the complex only use violence as a last resort and the security guys I've met there are polite and courteous. I don't know the details of this "story", so I'll leave it at that, but I find it very hard to believe. Still, it's a good opportunity for some Thai bashing and for some on here that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough talk - I'm going down there tonight to find out what it actually costs for a beer or spirits, and whether they sell top shelf vodka. Rest assured that I'll have a iot more than 600 baht in my pocket, and I'll be checking my bin after each order. Common sense, right ? And no, I dont plant to interact with champer's mates in the security detail - I'd imagine they've been told to put away the knuckle dusters for the next week or two. Will be interesting to see if there is a motosai crew nearby - mouths to feed and all that. I dont know what the going rate is for kicking Farang with no prior contract in place, but I'd imagine it doesnt buy a whole lot of whiskey.

MrWorldwide Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 From the bar's FB page - seems like they've spared no expense down there. Cant wait to sample this level of hospitality.

jonesthebaker Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So now - by using sentiment analysis, coupled with correct prejudice against TV Thai bashing Neanderthals - I finally understand! The big TV meanies, in collaboration with khaosodenglish.com, created a fictional Farang bashing story that made the meanies feel better about themselves. They would have got away with it, but they were thwarted by a reliable, objective, and anonymous source - who posses a social conscience. How could I have been so foolish? does anyone else not have a clue what the above actually means! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 An eyewitness reported that the mob kept kicking the head of the witness even after he lost conscience. This is an attempted homicide. Hope they all will be held responsible. Good luck for the victim! I have often seen videos of that, Thais teeing off on the head of an unconscious farang. I have said it before, and I will say it again. If you are in a fight with a bunch of Thais, you are in a fight for your life. Meaning all bets are off regarding Queensbury rules.

NamKAheng Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 try drinking in city bar anywhere round the world and then try to fob half the bill off.not nice he got beat up but we only got half the story. there are some serious mouth merchants from the UK in pattay who think the world owes them a living and the locals they regard with utter disdain. who knows he may have had it coming Wrong, most city bar in the world I went have debit and credit card option to pay so no problem there. It is actually good business to have debit and credit card machine in bars, people tend to use their card to drink more, like giving snacks to eat in a bar increase 15% sale of boose, so that little bag of peanuts makes the cash register ring 15% more.

No. But just as a point of thought, do you think it is more likely that a group of Thais will be kicking you in the head here, or is it more likely that a group of Americans will be kicking you in the head during a bar conflict there ??

green job Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 For all of you wearing your rosé colored glasses, something like this may someday happen to you. In Thailand it is not a question of will something bad happen it is only a question of when. You are probably right, if you're referring to those who regularly get drunk, don't have enough money to cover their bins, can get loud and abusive and generally have a low opinion of Thais and the "service class". Otherwise you'll be fine. Well Mate,I have always had a low opinion of Cowards .. And this country has more than it fair share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah that pretty benign account of what happened was on the Honey Bar facebook page, so it is not like they have a vested interest in trying to put the best spin on this. ( irony icon). So the Honey Bar version was a complete pack of lies after seeing the video..... Aha here it is. Yep loaded unconscious into an ambulance. He was only beaten by five Thai men, that seems like a bit of low number....Thought normal for a farang beating was 7 or 8. :-) So now what do you think OMGiminPattaya guy? Time to take off the rose colored glasses, or just stay in denial...... KhunBENQ, time to eat a bit of crow ? Think I will take the video version.....

ExPratt Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 On the evening of Monday, 19th January, Pattaya police were called out by the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team to investigate an assault on a male tourist outside a bar on Naklua Road. At the scene, the team was trying to revive the unconscious man, aged around 30 years, but failed, so he was rushed to the emergency room at Banglamung Hospital. According to video proof provided by a witness, the man was attacked by the bar’s security guard because he only had 600 baht on him and his bill was 1,315 baht. The man was requested to go to a nearby ATM to withdraw money, but for some reason or other a fight broke out and the guard and his friends set upon the man, beating him unconscious. The clip showed 5 men beating up the tourist, and eventually one suspect Chanchai was detained and taken back to the police station for questioning. The case continues. Differs form the facebook report as he didnt get up and walk off and someone has it on video http://www.pattayapeople.com/Crime-News/UNKNOWN-TOURIST-ATTACKED-_2001201505 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
