CHIANG MAI: -- Two travel agents said they were beaten inside a karaoke bar in Chiang Mai last night, allegedly because the attackers were annoyed by their horrible singing voices.

The victims, whose identities were withheld, filed a police complaint at 2am today after they were allegedly beaten by a group of men in a karaoke bar on Wiang Ping Road.

They said their attackers were workers at the bar, who beat them and smashed their motorcycles for no good reason. The two men ran away and were taken to the hospital by good samaritans.

Disgraceful! Nothing worse than 2 drunk guys singing in high-pitched voices.

Somehow I believe much of this story has not been told.

Ah the compulsory conspiracy theorist.

A beating is a little over the top, just turning the mic and sound system down would be sufficient. This should happen lot more often than it currently does.

[Calach]

It's the guy who invented karaoke that should be punished. Harshly.

[ChrisY1]

Thais singing badly at karaoke.........I can hardly believe it!

I've also been tempted!

[monkey4u]

Karaoke should be banned

Drunk people who Cant sing making noises to even more drunk people 

What a way to spend a night 

[Emster23]

This should put to rest the belief Thais have no musical taste.

I was in Japan in early '80's: lots of karaoke bars, but none in US that I knew of.

I could see the future: karaoke, Hello Kitty.... all coming at USA and nothing to stop it. Future seemed so bleak.

Why anyone would sit in a K bar listening to people murder songs is beyond me.

[Estrada]

Several people have been shoot dead for hogging the microphone in Karaoke Bars here. Around 20 years ago, a rich developer had his bodyguard shoot dead his Architect because he was hogging the mic. Then there have even been a number of policemen shooting policemen for hogging the mic. Singing Karaoke should carry a health warning.

Which is the very reason I don't sing

Hugging the mike...., snatch the mike and throw it down the dunny bowl might fix that....., then watch out for the true brown nosers !

Oh my Buddha, been wanting to do that for years...?????

[Lupatria]

If this becomes common, I fear the worst for 98% of Thailand's Pop & Rock stars 

[Oldgumshoe]

Must have been worse than Lee Marvin's Wandering Star. Lessons to be heeded, don't believe what your friends tell you about your singing, they're all laughing about how bad it is behind your back.

[Jedsada3]

I wonder that didn't happen earlier...

Build a wall. Oh wait that's already on the way.

Well, all I can say is that when I lived in Pattaya and finally found a really nice quiet place with a huge balcony and great view of the city, for a low price, I was very happy their and slept great.

 

That is until a new karaoke bar moved in just down the street and stayed open every night until 4 am. Believe me, there is nothing worst than being forced to listen to some Drunk Thai Man sing a Thai Song at 4 am in the morning when he could hardly talk and forgot most of the words to this song.

 

I never did it, but I certainly can understand how someone else could go over and tie a beating on someone who was doing that.   

[SOTIRIOS]

...duhh....maybe singing but not spending.....???

 

...nobody ever said these bars are 'fun venues'......more like pits....

 

..."If you don't order anything you can't be overcharged".....sound like words of wisdom....

 

...so out you go....!!!

It beats sitting in front of a computer, reading all the BS on here.

[Familyonthemove]

Alright now go, walk out the door, I just can't stand your singing any more ...

[captspectre]

I was wondering when this would finally happen! these drunk thai's start singing and it sounds like your strngling a chicken! everyone of them thinks he is perry como! but being as they are all drunk they all think the sme!

[Chicog]

I am not entirely convinced that this ultimately had nothing to do with the bill....

What a way to have a night out ruined if you happen not to be drunk or do not happen to love karaoke (ie or are not Asian)   ............

[mankondang]

Apparently, when they were being beaten up, their screams were both off key, and inaudible, as the two of them were not screaming off the same song sheet.

[Rod Gold]

Something I have wanted to do on more than one occasion.  My non-violent Buddhist nature has kept me from violence.

[worgeordie]

The look on the Policemans face,shows he's taking this matter very seriously,
