Two Thai Men Attacked by Four Drunk Tourists

[DaveinAsia]

55555! Says Private Eye Shady Chris. Sorry, but your lovely nonsense doesn't hold any ground. Perhaps your buddy Berkshire will like it for you so you don't feel alone.
Cheers. Time for a few beers

[TimmyT]

Your argument is not an argument. You twist peoples words to make your case, that's why your name is Timmy T. And then you think that is the absolute truth.

I am probably the least racist person you will ever meet but still you managed to make me into a racist. This is not arguing, this is called fabricating.

These guys are in the news because they are 4 'very bad farangs' who did what? Break open a gate of a fruitshop? 555! And you talk about them as if they are big time criminals. You are an idiot, plain and simple. They are 4 drunk kids who were having fun. Because of these 'bad farangs' this country was pulled out of the agricultural age into the modern age.

Stop biting the hand that feeds you. The murdering, raping, robbing and scamming of farangs and tourists has to stop or TH can go back to fishing and growing rice(very racist again)

I used your quotes to prove you are racist. and what is your answer? "no I am not"!

Hitler would answer the same (to avoid prosecution) if he would live nowdays... "I am not racist, I am just not betraying my fellow Germans!"

These guys are in the news because they are 4 'very bad farangs' who did what? Break open a gate of a fruitshop?

they intruded the private property, made a damage, beat the owner and a guy who was trying to help him.

They are 4 drunk kids who were having fun.

seems like you have fun the same way while drunk. Because of agressive alcoholics like you more and more Thais start to hate farangs.

[TimmyT]

Because of these 'bad farangs' this country was pulled out of the agricultural age into the modern age.

because of bad farangs Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos were sent back to stoneage. In Vietnam bad farangs killed 6 millions of innocent civillians and contaminated the soil. and Thailand avoided this fate because it managed to keep bad farangs out.

every place which white man conquested is spolied now. Local population hates Europeans ( except those where colonizers in pith helmets managed to massacre all or almost all the local population, like US or Australia) That's why scum like you tend to come to Thailand. Not the whole world is spoiled yet! this should be fixed!

Stop biting the hand that feeds you. The murdering, raping, robbing and scamming of farangs and tourists has to stop or TH can go back to fishing and growing rice(very racist again)

what a blatant white superiority lie! proving my previous diagnosis - racism. pure example of racism for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures

but at least you confessed you are racist.

people like you are too primitive to understand their own ugliness. Karma will teach you, sooner or later. believe it or not.

[TimmyT]

Yeah, they really looked beat up!! Have another look at the pics.

now you can determine physical condition by photo? lol

people can beat or even kill each other without touching each other's face.

[ravip]

Stop biting the hand that feeds you. The murdering, raping, robbing and scamming of farangs and tourists has to stop or TH can go back to fishing and growing rice(very racist again)

What an attitude! This shows perfectly the warped brain and thinking patterns of such people. With this mind set, more and more attacks and killings will increase not only in Thailand but in all other non farang countries too.

If all farangs stayed at home and minded their own business, the other non farang countries definitely will show a rapid improvement - so much for the hand that feed you s***.

Yeah, 4 drunk kids who were acting stupid and who should be fined 500-2000 Baht and that's it. How many Thai's are drunk on the roads everyday killing people? How many drunk Thais kill their wives? How many drunk Thais beat the hell out of people? How many drunk Thais rape innocent girls? Who cares that Thais will hate farangs more and more? Can it get any worse than it already is? You seem to forget that it's all those bad farangs who paid for your 21st century lifestyle. Yes, we call that biting the hand that feeds you.

I find it interesting how you are a racist yourself but in a sneaky way you try to twist it around again and make me a racist. 5555. I have traveled all over the world and have lived in many different countries and if one people are xenophobic and racist it's Thais. My wife is Thai and we have many Thai friends and they all admit that Thais are racist and xenophobic. What you people say about foreigners and especially about Africans, Chinese, Arabs and farangs is much more racist than any skinhead I know in the West.

Yes, the 4 young boys were wrong. Drunken stupidity but they are not the Koh Tao murderers nor rapists nor bank robbers nor scam artists nor drug sellers. They should be fined 2000 Baht each and spanked on their backsides. If you still want to hang them from a billboard on Silom you should have a very good look at yourself in the mirror because it seems to me that you are a bit sick in your head.

End of story.

[ALFREDO]

We are getting more young big mouths who think that they are tough. On the plane today, I asked a guy if he could move a little bit so I could open the overhead luggage compartment. He says no, and calls me an idiot. I just laughed at him. The guy was tall and skinny, and his muscle shirt revealed a big scull tattoo. lol!

You should not have asked, if he did not move from alone, seeing you obviously wanted to give something in the overhead compartment.

Just a bit displaced him, with the word sorry and stepping on his toes , I am to heavy for my size and usually sweating, smelling? to reach my gate and seat - until now, they moved out of my way.

[DaveinAsia]

people like you are too primitive to understand their own ugliness. Karma will teach you, sooner or later. believe it or not.

Let me give you a history lesson Timmy the Twister.

It was the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese Army who killed most of the Vietnamese civilians and not those bad farangs. The bad farangs also killed many of them and indeed contaminated the soil with their chemicals, very true, but don't try and twist history too, that's just wrong. Thailand managed to keep the bad farangs out? Thailand was entertaining those bad farangs who were bombing the hell out of Viet Nam in Pattaya. The money factor again. Or should I say greed?

Nothing racist about telling the truth. Thailand is where it is now because of foreign investments and foreign tourism. That's just an economic fact. You can read it online. Tourism makes a larger contribution to Thailand's economy (about 8.5% of GDP). Of course TH also exports a lot of seafood and rice but it's a small amount of the GDP. About 60% of all money that is made in TH comes from foreign investment; cars, electronics. If all those ugly foreigners were to leave tomorrow TH would be in big trouble. It's just a fact, not my fabrication. nor racism as you claim.

Don't start about Karma because then I will need to write a whole book here.

I never stole, cheated, hurt or did anything wrong to deserve bad karma coming my way. My soul is clean. All I am doing is proving to you that if these 4 kids were Thai kids we wouldn't even be having this argument. You and others want them to go to jail and squeeze all the money out of them and still you wont admit that you are the racist. All I am doing is protecting these 4 kids from a pack of hungry wolves

Goodnight

[TimmyT]

DaveinAsia,

end of story? no way!

Yeah, 4 drunk kids who were acting stupid and who should be fined 500-2000 Baht and that's it.

it's just your opinion. and I think they should be forced to pay 50-100K, jailed, deported and blacklisted now. and seems like Thais are closer to my point od view

How many Thai's are drunk on the roads everyday killing people? How many drunk Thais kill their wives? How many drunk Thais beat the hell out of people? How many drunk Thais rape innocent girls? Who cares that Thais will hate farangs more and more? Can it get any worse than it already is?

you speak like Soviet Union propaganda. on all American accusations they answered " but in your country blacks are lynched!" lol

this is none of your business what Thais do at their own homeland. they are at home and farangs are guests here. farang live here as soon as they benefit THAI society. and as soon as they don't - they deserve harsh punishment. and this has nothing to do with race. but everything with thai citizneship.

You seem to forget that it's all those bad farangs who paid for your 21st century lifestyle.

my lifestyle has nothing to do with colonization, slavery and third world countries exploatation.

I have traveled all over the world and have lived in many different countries and if one people are xenophobic and racist it's Thais

so why don't you go somehwere else?!

[TimmyT]

It was the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese Army who killed most of the Vietnamese civilians and not those bad farangs

.

blatant lie. most of people were killed by american carpet bombing and Agent Orange. small Laos got more bombs than the whole Europe in the second world War. and even those killed by south vietnamese american marionettes - were killed from Aemrican wearpon.

otherwise why did they loose so quickly after Americans run away? lol

Thailand managed to keep the bad farangs out? Thailand was entertaining those bad farangs who were bombing the hell out of Viet Nam in Pattaya. The money factor again. Or should I say greed?

first of all Thailand managed not to be colonized by previous evil Empires - France and UK - without modern army but by maneuvering between British Empire, French colonial empire and Russian empire. Second, they managed not to get involved (almost) in the Second World war where farangs and Japan were killing eahc other for world domination - another clever decision. and third - they had to become US ally in order to keep their soverenity. it's better to be an ally of the devil then allowing devil's soldiers to kill your own people.

and we can compare Thailand to other Indochina countries who let western Evli empires on their soil - they are miserable now. Thailand chose the best strategy to avoid colonization. Thailand was always lucky with managers - kings and prime ministers. just good karma, I guess

Thailand is where it is now because of foreign investments and foreign tourism.

all US investments is just green paper, not secured by anything. US federal reserve (private institution, controlled by world financial oligarhy) can print them as much as they want.

[TimmyT]

About 60% of all money that is made in TH comes from foreign investment; cars, electronics.

what a blatant manipulation!

you "forgot" to mention that 90% of these investments come from ASEAN, China and Japan. And these countries don't just print money to invest. they earn them.

US makes just 2% of investment! with freshly printed green paper lol

All I am doing is proving to you that if these 4 kids were Thai kids we wouldn't even be having this argument. You and others want them to go to jail and squeeze all the money out of them and still you wont admit that you are the racist. All I am doing is protecting these 4 kids from a pack of hungry wolves

protecting?! lol. if you want to really protect them - go to the police and pay fine from your own pocket. believe it or not, nobody on this forum has anything to do witht this story lol

and you are defending (not protecting) them because they are the same race as you. same as Hitler was protecting Germans and the "Aryan race" against "hungry wolves" - Jews, Gipsies, Gays, Slavs and Socialists.

racism as it was said before...

[Rancid]

The tables turned,its usually 4 Thais beat up 1 Farang.

regards Worgeordie

True but equally reprehensible.

Actually Thailand allied itself to Japan during World War 2.

[Berkshire]

Yeah, they really looked beat up!! Have another look at the pics.

now you can determine physical condition by photo? lol

people can beat or even kill each other without touching each other's face.

Dave's the kind of guy who would tell a young girl who's just been gang-raped "but you don't look like you've been raped to me." His IQ and EQ are way below acceptable levels.

For all the morality you are pretending to display here it turns out that you are a scumbag yourself. Who would make something like this up about someone just to get their own back? Making a comparison between a young girl being gang-raped and these idiots who are trying to squeeze some cash out of 4 silly farang kids is really low class. Only someone with a very low IQ themselves. Do you have some evidence to prove this ridiculous statement? 555. And all this because you and a few other scumbags want to hang the 4 kids high for breaking into a fruit shop and afterwards have a drunken fight with the owner and his helper. Sad old men. The morality knights

[DaveinAsia]

@ Timmy T

We can argue and fight about this story forever but it's useless. Obviously you are a Thai guy or otherwise a farang who really wants to be Thai who is very proud of TH and believes TH is the best, the strongest, etc, etc. That's your good right. All I am doing is trying to save these 4 guys from your firing squad. We will not find any agreement so best just to drop it. I am not wasting my time on you and your other radical friends anymore.

Just remember that TH is a Buddhist country and Buddhism talks about compassion, even for your worst enemies. I can't remember Buddha ever speaking about punishing people in a bad way. He also never mentioned that it's ok to be greedy, violent or unwelcoming. Buddha talks about forgiveness, love and compassion.
Do you want to know what's wrong with TH? People who say it's fine to throw these 4 kids in jail and also steal their money. That's the whole problem.

If you don't want these kind of visitors in TH stop mass tourism. I can guarantee you that this kind of stories are only going to get worse because there is no real plan or strategy. It's all about grabbing as much money as possible, right now. Who cares about tomorrow, right? When greed gets inside your heart you are lost. It's a fact. You can pray as much as you want and make merit another 5 lifetimes but greed is like selling your soul to the devil.

Look what money has done to this once majestic country? Everyone is completely absorbed by it. People murder for it and people even lie for the murderers because of money.

This is the wrong way.
When I came here in 98 I came here for the peacefulness and serenity. The image of temples, monks in the street, people smiling and wai-ing. It seemed like paradise to me. That's why I came here.
But then mass tourism arrived and all the consequences; greed, deceit, corruption, murder, etc, etc. Since then it's only went downhill.
Of course it's also 'progress'. TH can't stay the same it was forever but I thing that all this 'progress' just went a little bit too fast without any real plan and we are starting to see the effects of this ill-management now.

Agree with me or not, it doesn't matter to me. I just know that hanging 4 kids from a billboard is not the right punishment.Breaking into a fruitshop and afterwards fighting with the owner is wrong and stupid but it is not a terrible crime because I can see the real crime that goes on every day here. Not only in TH, but globally. The rich are using the poor and the divide between people is only getting more and more. Violence and greed can never be justified

to wrote the whole answer in one time I will use bold letters for DaveinAsia's quotes

All I am doing is trying to save these 4 guys from your firing squad.

again. seems like nobody here is actually involved in this case. you are not "trying to save" or "protect". you are just defending them. please use the proper English.

Just remember that TH is a Buddhist country and Buddhism talks about compassion, even for your worst enemies.

so you want Thais to forgive all culprits - thiefs, murderes, rapists, terrorists - because they are Buddhists? lol

Jesus Christ also preached peace and forgiveness, but Holy Bible was never an obtacle for Western Christian Coutries to kill millions for resources, money, slaves and land.

If you don't want these kind of visitors in TH stop mass tourism.

it's like chopping the head to get rid of dandruff. much easier to send a signal that stupid violent drunkards and junkies are not welcomed here. this is what thais are doing now. And normal tourists will feel even more comfortable without antisocial elements like those 4.

It's all about grabbing as much money as possible, right now

no way, dear. it's about punishment. about retribution. about personal responsibility for actions. and th shop owner is totally justified to take 50 or 100k. If I were him I would squeeze them dry.

Look what money has done to this once majestic country? Everyone is completely absorbed by it. People murder for it and people even lie for the murderers because of money.

This is the wrong way.

who said that? a farang from the country which for sure took part in imposing these rotten values! Go back to your homeland and you will make Thailand a little bit cleaner.

When I came here in 98 I came here for the peacefulness and serenity. The image of temples, monks in the street, people smiling and wai-ing. It seemed like paradise to me. That's why I came here.

But then mass tourism arrived and all the consequences; greed, deceit, corruption, murder, etc, etc. Since then it's only went downhill.

so what is stopping you to go somehwere else now? You absolutely not deserve this paradise. share you opinions about Thailand with Thai people (when you will apply for your next visa, for example) and they will tell you where you should go. Thailand will not cry if you will leave, believe it or not

but I thing that all this 'progress' just went a little bit too fast

And I know why do you think so. Thai salaries are growing, and you can buy less and less woman meat and respect for your ridiculous pension. you, like all sugar daddies, want Thailand to be a third world country which looks on farangs down up. But it will never happen again.

Better go to Africa. they still live for less then a dollar a day.

Agree with me or not, it doesn't matter to me.

I can say the same

Breaking into a fruitshop and afterwards fighting with the owner is wrong and stupid but it is not a terrible crime because I can see the real crime that goes on every day here.

not terrible, for sure. for terrible crime people should be executed!

The rich are using the poor and the divide between people is only getting more and more. Violence and greed can never be justified

this is your true nature! thank you for being honest. "I am poor not because I am lazy, stupid and incopetent, but because rich stole everything from me. those who succeed owe those who didn't"

please keep your parasitic ideas for yourself. nobody needs them in Thailand

[TimmyT]

Actually Thailand allied itself to Japan during World War 2.

yes and it was the best choice. for the same reason why Thailand later became an ally of the US.

why Thai people should pay by their own life for the fight between world Evil Empires for the World domination?

the one and only resposibility of any Thai governemnt is protection and welfare of citizen of Thailand. nothing else.

yes, sure - between American colonial, Nazi German, British colonial, Communist and Japanese militarist evil empires + pathetic italian fascist state and other ridiculous allies.

why Thailand should care of any of them?!

Thai government, the great Plaek Phibunsongkhram made the best choice for their motherland. they saved Thai people and managed to become an ally of the winner.

Bravo!

[roo860]

I think that if the 2nd WW had been won by Germay and Japan then we all would have been singing a different tune. Including Thailand.

[TimmyT]

I think that if the 2nd WW had been won by Germay and Japan then we all would have been singing a different tune. Including Thailand.

and many of us would not even exist, but much more blond Arian Germans and Japanese - full of samurai spirit - certainly would...

but Thailand would still exist with it's population. Because Thai governments don't pay by Thai lifes for someone else's interests...

[roo860]

Which is why Thai troops fought in S Vietnam?

[roo860]

Very interesting book called The Ravens well worth a read. Secret war in Loas

[TimmyT]

Which is why Thai troops fought in S Vietnam?

it was about 12000 troops. even South Korean marionettes gave much more. at that time it was essential to defeat communism - much bigger danger then American colonialism at that time (and America was different. it didn't try to impose distructive left-liberal values to it's allies. all that stupid "democracy mission, entitled by God himself" psychosis started in the US after the end of the Cold war).

but for sure it would be better to break a spine of communism in Indochina by American hands. pity that Thanom Kittikachorn's government didn't manage to do that.

[bamukloy]

Bit puzzled why there's been no slagging off yet of the home countries where these lads came from? If they were English then the TVF execution squad would be out in force!!!!

Could it perhaps be that the nationalities of these guys rarely make the news in such a fashion ?

Unlike Brits, Americans and Australians, who seem to be in the thick of the shlt almost daily

[connda]

Silly thing to do, as they say youth is wasted on the young.and these fellahs are in a world of sh&&$t

If they were Thai, they would be levied a 500 THB fine; as farang, "these fellahs are in a world of sh&&$t".

So tell me, where is justice in Thailand?

If on Koh Tao, you beat the sh*t out of Myanmar suspects to obtain a confession you do outstanding interrogation to obtain a 'legitimate' confession from the obviously guilty foreign suspects, but the same investigative team can't find or obtain a DNA sample from highly connected 'persons of interest' who have family on Koh Tao and happen to be Thai.

So, what rock is 'justice' found under in the LOS? These two 'alleged suspects' could be as innocent as pure, driven snow, but I'll give you odds that they are convicted completely regardless of the evidence presented, or more telling, the lack of evidence. There's no such thing as the test of, "beyond a reasonable doubt". Something else is at work, and it smells to high heaven. Unfortunately the judicial system is more about finding 'someone' guilty regardless of guilt or innocence, for the sake of political expediency and 'face-saving' at the governmental level.

Bottom line imho: Someone must be put to death so that tourism is not adversely affected, at least in the minds of government clones. And those death sentences will be an absolute international circus show if they are carried out, which in turn, will backfire and will more likely bring to light the absurdity of this case.

[roo860]

The French and the British did want not to colonise Thailand, Thailand acted as buffer between the two, so averted any conflict of interest, after the end of the second world war neither countries were interested in any colonisation.

If they were Thai they would be punished according to the laws of their country - Thailand.

Since they are not and like so many other farang, don't understand theyre guests in Thailand and behaving like animals will not be tolerated, they should be punished accordingly.
