Three Thai men arrested for assaulting Briton

[maingmoom]

WOW. There are some very strange people around here.

Taking the word of a Thai after they gang attack another tourist?

What do you expect these criminals to say? Sheeesh.

Please tell me what you would do if a druken farang assulted your girlfriend. Maybe he got what he deserved.

It's pointless trying to reason with him. He was also defending the American woman who hit and run , drove down the road in the wrong direction smashing into 13 cars and knocking 2 motorcyclists off the road......while blaming the Thais.

Some people like him have obviously been victims in Thailand and now generalise everything.....doesn't matter who started it, or why, or who ended up coming out on top.....it will ALWAYS be the Thais fault in their eyes......And yet they still live here BY CHOICE.

russians,chineses and the brits....

what can i say, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i wish more irish and scottish welcome here

Or anyone who could behave in a appropriate way for that matter.....

[ICECOOL]

Some farangs who come to Thailand seem to think EVERY girl is available to them to treat like a bar girl. They have forgotten (or maybe they have none) common respect. If someone is selling food or working in a shop then they DO NOT want to work in a bar and sell their body or that's where they would be. The beautiful smile is to sell you food or goods. These idiots think if a girl smiles at him she wants to sleep with him.

My gf has been approached a number of times while at the 7 or market. Mostly for just a chat but once some moron actually followed her home on his scooter. Creep

[CapeThai]

I'm not defending anyone here but in my very humble experience I never experienced Thais attacking a farang for the joke of it. Now this you will find in any country as all countries have their scumbags but sorry to say I personally think this Brit got what he deserves.

Now if you have GOOD Thai friends you Will obviously know these people will rush to your aid at anytime so in my opinion this is exactly what happened here.

[dirtycash]

3 cowards......end of story

They maybe cowards, but if the story is true then the Brit is guilty of sexual assault.

As much as I condone violence, if the latest report is true, and the British guy started it by punching another foreigner, after molesting his TGF with the Thai guys stepping in, then I think he got off lightly.

I think maybe you misunderstand the word condone.

He was very lucky not to have split his head open on the step from one of the kicks where he falls backwards.

Actually, he did bang his head on the kerb after the punch floored him.

The kick that followed when he got up just sealed his state of unconsciousness.

As seen in the CCTV footage.

So it was tourism numbers that was on his mind not anger about his sister now Thais males might be improving in my opinion rather than this gang showing face mentality that's better thinking of the final result and drop in tourism numbers for his sister to work on and support her family and brothers.

If alcohol were to be discovered in this present age, it would be banned as a drug !

[slipperylobster]

Another walking piece of work.

This behavior deserves exactly what was handed out.

Without mentioning politics...let us just say that some kind of education back home should be mandatory.

Before arriving in Thailand.

Not all girls are available...just because you are in Pattaya. Thai's can be quite intolerant of rude behavior that you may find acceptable back in your country....young man

I just returned from breakfast...which I thought would be quiet and peaceful..here in CM. The owner was a very nice irish gentleman, who chatted with my wife and I...the food was excellent. We noticed a Huge (obese) man came in with his baby, wife and a few others. After blocking four cars (left his phuket vehicle right in the road so nobody could possibly move without his permission, he immediately grabbed a friend of my wife (she sells flowers nearby)..and starting squeezing her and talking quite loud and obnoxiously about her brown color. I pitied his wife...and we did not really realize he was the owner of the offending vehicle. I tried the friendly approach, and mentioned about how my wife learned to back in the car and leave enough space behind to maneuver out of this situation (this time she didn't do it). Finally, the thai teengager got up and moved his vehicle. I looked at the englishman and said...."looks like we are free to leave now..have a nice day"

the look on his face was priceless

Claimed Mr Hunnington threw the first punch.

Of course.

Funny. The farang always initiates these 'gang' attacks.

Bad farang.

He's drunk, he's a Brit, he groped a Thai woman . . . sorry, but he probably did throw the first punch. He allegedly punched the farang boyfriend of the woman he groped, not a gang of Thai men. The Thai men apparently came to the defense of the Finnish man.

You mean finnish coward calls on 3 more thai cowards to attack 1 man...

So you think it cowardly not to want to swap blows with a pissed up foreigner who allegedly just assaulted your missus?

Maybe the Finn should have bottled him, knifed him, kicked him, clubbed him or challenged his to 1 to 1 Marquis of Queensbury rules and shook hands afterwards. Maybe the Finn has a health issue, incapacity or something that prevents him getting involved in violent altercations.

Someone did this to my sister, wife, daughter, I don't think I'm gonna worry about "convention" or if some dweep thinks it cowardly that several give him a shoeing.

Don't worry Andrew - he's just another silly certain nationality basher. One who doesn't even understand what nationalities some are; or bother to read about all the other drunks from countries like he mentions plus the other usual suspects that get involved in similar escapades.

He doesn't realize that drunken yobs are not restricted by age, nationality or even religion. Being drunk is like being stupid - no restrictions, and all are free to choose. He made his choice as we can read.

Bad farang.

That part of the incident was between a Finn and a Briton so of course a farang was to blame, they're both farangs.

The Scottish???? If they come to Pattaya wearing their "Scottish skirts" the local ladyboys will get jealous.

[cardinalblue]

Here's the problem... The farang knew he was outnumbered and running for cover when the Thai gang ran went after him on the offensive and beat him severely...

Sorry but it was not defensive intervention...they beat him b/c of their hatred and resentment towards westerners...same thing could happen to Finn bf so it should be a warning to him

Bet ya the BF 's money trickles down to GF's brother....

Just another Thai gang attacking a farang for entertainment and another sorry excuse why.

Happens everyday now.

Did you actually read the story?? obvioisly not methinks!

Let me sumarise it for you.....a drunk english <deleted> cops a feel of a lady, then he smacks the lady's boyfriend when the boyfriend objects, then friends of the lady assist in thrashing the scoundrel. there now, not too hard to comprehend i hope!

Odds of 3 or maybe 4 against 1 are never acceptable, could the Finnish guy not just batter the Farang by himself? Anyone who behaves in the way the Farang seems to have done, is highly unlikely going to be useful with his fists.

They should be arresting the farang as well, for molesting the woman and assaulting her boyfriend.

The guy deserved the beating

[how241]

Not just a lesson in Pattaya, but a lesson in life, and one that should be adhered to the world over. Keep your hands to yourself...Don't grope any woman at any time.... Get some manners about you.....Act like a decent human being, and most of the time you will be OK. Another falang giving Thai's all the more reason to look at us as if we are aliens. We sometimes make ourselves the most unwelcome guests. Is it any wonder.

+1...Good advice .

Your intense racial hatred blinds you to the key issues at play. One key issue that stands out is that there are farang guys out there who think that all Thai women with a farang guy must be a hooker. So in his drunken stupor, the "victim" didn't have second thoughts about "taking liberties" with another farang guy's Thai GF. You may find this acceptable, I do not.

So are we supposed to feel sorry for the idiot. He was drunk, he grabbed another man's girlfriend, he didn't stop when told to but instead hits the guy. Brother of girlfriend comes to aide and he gets a beating.
Just because you are drunk does not excuse you from behaving like a normal person.

Just for comparison: how would he have reacted if same thing happened in his hometown?
