The Italian man, 32, sustained injuries to his head and lip. His Thai female friend, 34, sitting on the back of his motorbike, told police the security staff “came out of nowhere” and she was unaware what provoked the attack. After the initial attack the couple jumped off their motorcycle and […]

You think TheThaiger, Google or Fakebook gets it’s money from charity or from advertising revenue?

5 Thai guys that have finished work for the night beat the crap out of one foreigner at red light district. Nothing new here.

Total cowards as usual. Never seen a Thai fight fair. It’s always 3 or more on one, or some 30 year old having a go at some 60 year old and I’m not talking about a 30 year old Thai woman! 
 

I say keep it coming. Stories like this find their way in to social media and in foreign news. Land of Smiles? Yeah course it is.

35 year old man never has a 34 year old girlfriend in Thailand.  Fake news I say

I can't really argue with your post, but I have my own solution.

As I get older, the thought of being out on the streets/leaving a bar at 2 AM just doesn't appeal anymore; I'd rather wake up around 5 AM and go for a cycle. 

Endorphins beat alcohol, hands down!

You are from England, right? And that never happens in your country?

I did a 30 seconds search, plenty of other similar disgraceful stories available, loads... Scumbags are everywhere, in your country, in my country, in Thailand, everywhere. Not to mention that you again draw a very quick opinion based on a very confusing article that surely gives no clue on what exactly happened (and the man is 32, not 60).

Probably told him she was 24.  Plenty of dud ID around.

Sorry, I don`t believe a couple minding their own business would be attacked for nothing.

Those who don`t want trouble should avoid confrontation or committing acts that could cause confrontation.

[ThaiEyes]

As soon as I saw 2:00 AM in a bar area, I said sure, put yourself in a questionable position and get questionable results. I do wonder if the Thai “lady” actually started the arguing though

[23RD]

Again another striking headline about a Falang getting assaulted for no apparent reason hitting social media before the facts are established. 

I've just had the full SP on this story from a Bar Manager in LK Metro and the facts are nothing like reported.

Again even a dry Songkran attracts the worse type of Chav Falang to Thailand.

Clearly they were debating which version of "West Side Story" was better; and things just escalated. As they tend to do when debating nuances of Broadway musicals.

Opera is worse. The punch ups I have seen in pubs caused by arguments over which was better.

Carmen or La Boheme. I was always a Marriage of Figaro guy myself.

Yes, save the whales!

It’s interesting, that the articles (and the headlines) tell the story of the guy from Italy and his gf first, even the CCTV has proved, that they were lying. Whatever happened there, it wasn’t like the ‘victims’ told the police.

Yes it does happen in England. Whats that got to do with it? I’ve also seen lots of one on one fights with guys in England. Never seen the same in Thailand. That’s my point. It wasn’t that Thailand is violent anymore than anywhere else. It’s that when they fight, they do it cowardly.

Why do people on this forum assume that every negative post about Thailand is based on the view that no such thing happens in other countries? To be clear, England has:

Violence, Corruption, poor driving, thieves, sex perverts, human trafficking, murderers, rapists, stupid people, bad roads, shit weather, too many rules, high taxes, bad politicians etc etc.  Now, can we get back to discussing Thailand on this Thai centric forum?

Don't want to spoil the surprise when the facts get published but it all started with Falangs and by all accounts the security guys did the Italian guy and his Barfine a favour (because it's dangerous riding motorbikes when you're drunk during Songkran).

[Fabio]

It's Thailand's image and reputation going down the drain. 3rd time in less than one month. Police is useless.

Thanks. We've updated the story, along with published CCTV footage which clarifies the role of the security guards.

Mot ppl know that Tim, I suspect he's talking about the static ads, or FazWaz which does encroach on some small screens.
