RealisticRon Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 No one gets punched in the face for simply asking to turn the music up more than likely he said turn the fkn music up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farang99 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If he had a cut under his left eye, why does the pic show a cut under his right eye? Or has it been printed the wrong way round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsingle Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 2 hours ago, catman20 said: i feel there a lot more to this than polity asking for the music to be turned up The details in the report do seem rather scant. Perhaps there was a lengthy altercation with provocation from one or both parties. Is this really a news story? It appears to be no more than a minor fracas.

The Brit could well have overstepped some bounds; turning up the music during what many Thai's still consider a mourning period may well deserve a poke in the eye. Depends on what and how the Brit approached the subject, you don't get your way right away go to another bar that has alcohol and/or women(Lbs,whatever).

oxforddon Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 To be honest, I just cannot understand why punters in many bars want to change piped music, change volume of it or in other ways wish to take control to satisfy their own particular preferences usually causing annoyance to other punters. Get a radio or some other piece of equipment and listen at home to what you like to hear at whatever volume you want. No need to insist on your preference like a kid when out of the house.

gchurch259 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Me, I hate the loud music, and if they play Rap BS I pay up and leave. No use for the vulgar language and too loud on top of that. I like Country, but respect my ear drums. Is that enough additional "Bovine Fertilizer" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure when the low volume music requests expires but it's certainly up to the "owner" to decide, especially if said owner is a Thai person. The "tone it down" was for a period of 1 month, so over by about a week when this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulhamboy Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I asked the barman in a bar to turn the music down, he shot over to the computer and turned it off, seems he disliked the Bee Gees more than me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabula Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 All the facts would be interesting to know. Probably more displaced anger combined with sampling his own liquor inventory. His lady friend even looks pissed off. Perhaps the Police applied Texas style justice - he should have been punched in the face - case closed!

Now that's an interesting interpretation I hadn't thought of. So it was all a cultural misunderstanding, and would explain the rather emotional reaction to a seemingly innocuous request. Oh, just read it's expired, but I suppose some Thais might still think loud music is inappropiate, on an individual basis.

My best memories of Walking St are of sitting on my fav bar stool and hearing AC DC played at setting 11, the way it should be. Sadly, an edict must have come down as the volume was reduced to inaudible levels many years ago. never been the same since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to visit Gogos many times during my recent holiday in Pattaya, but I'd go in, listen to the noise the DJ was playing at a level painful to my ears, and exit without even sitting down. I made sure the door person knew why I wasn't staying too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
