Two Thai Men Attacked by Four Drunk Tourists

[bangon04]

I will never get the Thai sense of justice consisting in publicly shaming suspects before they're even judged.

After the incident was reported to the police, the four foreigners were identified as 22-year-old ****** from Sweden, 24-year-old ********** from Canada, and two Dutch 18-year-old men,

If they were Thais, they would still be "teenagers", and not yet responsible for their actions

[louse1953]

The real train of events.

Four drunken foreigner tourists broke into a store for a laugh. The store owner appeared on the scene and the tourists made a run for it being closely pursued by the store owner. As usual the Thai man called for reinforcements to beat the crap out the tourists, but were overpowered and the tourists turned the tables on them.

Making things up as you go along does you no favours,just shows your preduduce.A Thai man was passing by and decided to help,even though he was out nubered.If it was 4 Thais on to 1farang people on this forum would call to keep your nose out of it,might get hurt.Well done,the Thai good Samaritan.

[mercman24]

agree drunken behind holes, but i did bring a smile to my face,and thai guys didnt look very beat up to me, ? not like we get to see pics of farangs when they get a beating

[louse1953]

Still, they were wrong. Drunk and break in. The Thai only defended his livelihood. Quality tourists making other farangs look bad.

I'd say it was breaking-and-entering, theft, assault....these scumbags should get a few years in the slammer, deported, and blacklisted. Hope they don't get to pay their way out of it.

OMG, have you never done something silly whilst young and drunk. A few years in a Thai jail is a serious penalty.

If they

"beaten" up persons would rather get some money and drop charges why the hell should you care.

Some farang love putting down their own kind as they sit on a barstool with Noi stroking their poong just to justify their own inadequacies.

he who cast the first stone and all that.

And after Noi and me have a quality conversation upstairs for an hour i go home. I don't break into shops and fight with the owner.Even though i might be a bit drunk i have respect for peoples livelyhood and the people i live amongst.

Man bites dog

[jaybas]

dont thais know that it is impolite to point.

[cookee68]

Awaiting prossercution, why did they not get the usual Thai 500 baht fine, or is that only for thais, its usually the other way around, but with 6 Thais, and 9 times out of 10 they dont even get charged,

[louse1953]

most likely the 4 youths entered the open store, trying to buy alkohol. then the owner chased them away by shouting at them, then he followed them and they felt being attacked and reacted in selfdefense. with drunken thais such things happen 100 times every night. btw, the 2 thais dont look at all like being beaten up, they look more like kickboxers. each one of them would have knocked unconsious all 4 within seconds, if the really attacked him.

5555,they felt attacked by ONE 52 year old man.

[DaveinAsia]

The boys should apologize profusely and offer any restitution. No fine. No jail. Isn't that how justice is meted out in Thailand?

Only for Thais

[DaveinAsia]

Same old, same old, just another scam to shake some money out of the farangs pockets. The damage is probably some improvised door/gate worth a few 100 baht but they will squeeze 50k out of each of them(putting the fear of a visit to Bang Kwang can do that to tourists). The shop owner will get 10k at the most and the rest will be divided under the cops in question. 555. Welcome to the Machine

[Pacificperson]

I don't see the kids looking particularly contrite. I 'd lock them up for a short time like 30 days, make them pay damages and then blacklist them. There is no good reason for the Thai Government to invite them back.

[gemguy]

Hmmmm...Alcohol rears its ugly head once again.

Just think what else theses 4 guys are capable of when good and drunk and out to have a roaring good time.

Reminds me of that T shirt that says: Instant Axxhole Just Add Alcohol

Cheers

Reenactment please, in order to better understand how the situation transpired.

[Happy Grumpy]

Attacked?

Not a bruise or wound on them.

555

[wabothai]

After the morons have sobered up send them on their way back home with a fine to be paid first.

[true blue]

see told you,this what happens when they close the bars to early.they would have been watching poo yings,dancing on tables instead.

[Dumbastheycome]

Comparasons are pointless. Drunk and disorderly leading to violence has no excuse via nationality.

[Howitzer]

who wrote this crap, vicious not a mark on them looking for a big pay out, i thinks asr*hol*s

50,000 each should be enough for them to have to go home, if they actually avoid deportation. I think there is even extra penalties for doing burglary at night. Tresspassing is a fairly serious offense, and while 52 isn't old, that would also be an aggravating circumstance in a Thai court. If they haven't settled it all by now, they are already in very deep. Having a beard and dressing "impolitely" while committing crimes will also work against them.

From my perspective as a permanent resident for 25 years and owner of several hotel resorts. This commentator has made an exactly perfect analysis of the situation and there's nothing more to be said.

If the young lads haven't cleared it up by now, they're just getting in deeper and deeper.

If any of the peanut gallery has any other comment, they should leave Thailand immediately.

Cheers

Really......................2 sets of laws, falong refuses to buy a watch, gets a major beat down & stabbed, what did the Thai get...........500b fine, give me a break..............Your Right...maybe it is time to leave

why do you want to apply some other unrelated incident to this incident and somehow try to imply that the farang should be let off easier all because in some other unrelated incident a farang got stabbed by a thai and he was let off relatively lightly?

You remind me of those farang in the US who whine endlessly over some self perceived media bias of them yes farang over blacks and always try to create some imagined scenerio where they would be getting the short end of the stick and hence the farang in the present circumstances should be let off easier.

[silent]

I will never get the Thai sense of justice consisting in publicly shaming suspects before they're even judged.

That's because you're trying to make sense out of nonsense.

[arrowsdawdle]

I will never get the Thai sense of justice consisting in publicly shaming suspects before they're even judged.

That is because in Thailand it is "just us."

[steve C]

Do they not understand that pointing is rude?

Plus it pokes holes in the air.

[Thunderbirds20]

A turn of the tables!!! It is usually a gang of Thais beating the crap out of some old tourist. It is the only way most Thais can win a fight is have a gang of friends join in!!

[nemrut]

As much as we all like to berate the Thais for their behavior in fairness we should really be on their side in this one.

These kids are animals and think that they are untouchable.

Do not lose sight of the fact that they broke into a private place and then did whatever they felt like doing.

In their own country the police would have been all over them and then some. This is home invasion and is unacceptable anywhere in the world. A person should be able to go to sleep in their own place without worrying about morons like these.

Just imagine if they did that in the US....they got off lightly.

Everyone does something stupid when theyre young but why is it often yanks/brits/aussies/russians who often cross the line into violence?

[Old Croc]

Everyone does something stupid when theyre young but why is it often yanks/brits/aussies/russians who often cross the line into violence?

Considering it was a Swede, a Canadian and two Dutch perpetrators in this case, why would you ask this question here?

[cookee68]

5 minutes later and it would have read, 4 drunk men beaten by a group of locals

[cookee68]

4 Farang tourist VICIOUSLY beat 2 Thai men. cant even see a mark on them, but i guess the word Viciously COMES WITH A BIGGER PAYOUT, Lucky the group of Thai people did not get to them then, as that would have been a VICIOUS attack

[puukao]

wrong is wrong. breaking the law in ANY country. Shame on these foreigners. Banned from Thailand for life, fined, arrested, jailed, etc....i have no sympathy.

you certainly wouldn't want them in your city. these idiots are idiots anywhere....and they WILL make all foreigners look bad in CM....

AND if it was 4 thais beating up 1 foreigner.....well, i don't know their laws.....i can only hope for my idea of justice.

saying "they don't look beaten up" isn't a remark taken seriously.......i am sure you don't say "she doesn't look raped."
