webfact Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Two men beaten in karaoke bar, allegedly for horrible singing voices By Coconuts Bangkok Photo: Sanook 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.

Chang_paarp Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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.

Estrada Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgumshoe Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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.

GOLDBUGGY Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 ...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....!!!

mankondang Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
