Phuket bouncers filmed beating up foreign tourists



PHUKET:-- Video footage has emerged online which allegedly shows a group of Phuket bouncers attacking two foreign tourists.

The 48 second video clip was posted by Facebook user วิเชียร เจือจุน who claims the incident took place on Wednesday night outside a nightclub on Bangla Road.

It is not clear what prompted the attack on the two foreigners, who try to protect themselves from the four or five attackers.

One of the foreign men can be seen lying on the floor taking several kicks to the head from two of the men who are presumed to be security staff from a nearby nightclub.

can't be Thais

[LivinginKata]

Whoever shot the video was very lucky that the thugs did turn on him/her. Remember what happened to Captain Mark taking video of a beating outside Thaipan ....

[pinkpanther99]

of course we don't know why these Thai guys decided to kick the sh1t out of the farangs, either way it doesn't do much for the reputation of Patong!

[lee b]

terrible, I wonder what a 1 on 1 situation would of resulted in.? ( Well never going to happen anyway )

[JeezeLooeze]

One would expect bouncers employed by an entertainment establishment to act professionally and use minimal force (if any), even when under provocation, to evict any unruly patrons.

Obviously this was not the case here, where the bouncers' lack of anger management skills and thug temperament got the better of them. Very unprofessional and should be sacked.

[easybullet3]

Why cant Thai guys ever fight one-on-one? - they always need a group of guys to beat up one victim. (and usually use a stick or pole or baseball bat or taser on top of their fists and feet). they always fight so brutal and animalistic without any care of getting caught (and what their punishment would be).

they have the same mentality as the American Police!

And his court case was dropped as the video camera proved he acted in self defence against a mob of bouncers.

Not in a million years would there be a 1-1 fight in Thailand they like safety in numbers so 10 on 1 is more fitting so they can express their power !!!!

Who would expect that? Maybe someone who hasn't been inside or near a nightclub in 20+ years?

This happens the world over and most bouncers are <deleted> who need little provocation.

Apparently staff from Aussie bar. Since the Facebook page where this was published was Thai, I presume a Thai staff member.

[anfh]

Not the Aussie Bar, that is entrance to Soi Gonzo, and they ar from the White Room which is at the end. Whilst not defending bouncers, best not to get drunk and act up in nightclubs here.

[konying]

The irony is 4-5 kicking 2 drunks and still can not knock them out.

I can not wait for a day , they pick on pro street fighters

[Happy Grumpy]

Visit the jungle, don't be surprised to be surrounded by simpleton savages.

Helps explain a lot I think.

Real tough guys. More like pathetic bitches!

What happened to the non violent attitude?

[NamKangMan]

These were my intitial thoughts as well, LIK.

Towards the end of the beating, one of the Thai guys appears to walk right in front, and very near to the photographer, who is obviously standing in The Aussie bar, which is perhaps what saved them from a similar fate.

[bearpolar]

as usual

old drunkard farang men complaining about thais "ganging up" while its the same shit in the west. It's always gang beat downs. 1v1's are as comon in thailand as in the rest of the world.

And as usual, theres is a 90% chance the 2 guys did deserve a beat down, so lets not get on our high horses and complain that it was too violent.

[NamKangMan]

What happened to the non violent attitude?

This is the "non violent" control of tourists.

The "violent" control of tourists involves knives, clubs, machettes and guns.

[ev1lchris]

Australians, especially drunken ones, can be task <deleted>.

And if one of the guys had died from a kick to the head - I suppose you would say they "deserved" that as well.

And exactly what was was wrong with asking them to leave the bar or throwing them out if needed?

HA ! Bouncers kicking off ?

Try a fight between two girls in London for a proper fight then

The whole road closed and a near riot

You will get far worse than this in any town in the UK on a Friday or saturday night multiple times over

I have seen this many times over the years. Tourists that think they are back in their home towns and think they can give it the Big I Am. They are then reminded they are not back home when a bunch of little Thai's beats the crap out of them

[johnefallis]

As far as myself and several others are concerned it is now open season on anyone wearing one of those shirts, involved or not. May as well be wearing a bullseye. Enjoy fellas!
