Briton fights off teenage robbers in Pattaya

What do you think these guys will carry with themselves once they notice that foreigners carry something to protect themselves? You carry a stick they will carry a knife, if you carry a knife they will carry a gun and so on.

The solution is the active part by the police. The fine for such thing must increase with both money and long time imprisonment. The Thai government should not take such incidence lightly. It will scare the tourist which will effect their economy, unemployment etc.

    Sorry your wrong . If you can stop a motorcycle and bully the rider off the machine its a easy way to be off and away in seconds without having to break locks or have key problems.Just hope this does

    Why would they try and steal a bike with someone on it? when there are multi thousands of unattended bikes around, sounds more like a road rage incident to me, or something more

    Well you see its an easy steal when the keys are in it and all they have to do is kick some guy or girl off it and do away with the bike. Most of them dont have the brains to hotwire a bike.

Very brave guy to fight off 6 attackers, but I do question his judgement. Helmets being used is one thing, knives or hatchets (not unknown in Pattaya) and you're endangering your life for a bike.

What would have been his options then? To just lie there and take the beating and let them take the bike? Chances are that if he was already being attacked, he would have sustained a lot worse injuries than he did by being pro-active and defending himself and his property.

Something that seems to have been overlooked by the comments so far is that this was a bar owner, so the possibility of him carrying money, possibly under the seat of the bike, is pretty good. Just a thought.

Anyway, at the age of 33, believe me, I would have done exactly the same thing.

Kudos to Danny.....................wink.png

Nothing even's up 5 to 1 like 10 in the clip and 1 in the chamber (if that's your preference). No one even notices here with all of the satchels and manbags in use. smile.png

Well Done Danny,

hope your friends can find them.

But remember the tough Farang who used his bike helmet to fight off a gang in the car-park of Tawan Deng Phatthanakan a few years ago............so they shot him.

I like the place, but Pattaya is always worse at Songcran with a huge influx of drunks and punks - mostly both.
