Soidog Posted January 29, 2023 #277918 Share Posted January 29, 2023 A change I’ve noticed over the years in Thailand is the more visible security guards. Go back 15 years and you hardly noticed security guards. They were always around and would arrive quickly if trouble started. Then they became more visible at the larger nightclubs and now even larger bars in tourists places. Naturally they are equipped with military style uniforms, which all ups the sense of potential conflict. I guess this is yet another example of Thailand following in the footsteps of other countries. Give it a few more years and shaven or bald meat heads will be a requirement to become a security guard. 4 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/21176-news-forum-indian-tourist-beaten-by-pattaya-nightclub-guards/#findComment-277918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSC Posted January 29, 2023 #277931 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Why are there Indian security personnel at the Indian bars in Pattaya? All employment has to be local people, not imported. If they cannot stick to the rules then, they cannot operate the business. 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/21176-news-forum-indian-tourist-beaten-by-pattaya-nightclub-guards/#findComment-277931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says nightclub guards from an Indian bar, not Indian nightclub guards. Besides, never heard of the 4-to-1 rule? 2 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/21176-news-forum-indian-tourist-beaten-by-pattaya-nightclub-guards/#findComment-277963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean only off duty military or cops moonlighting doing double duty as a civilian but with legal official force? Yea, Like sine are Tuk tuk or taxi drivers too and let you think they are normal folk? 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/21176-news-forum-indian-tourist-beaten-by-pattaya-nightclub-guards/#findComment-277968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, just like the Chinese, Indians have total disregard for anything outside their own requirements and to hell with laws and regulations. An Indian in a punch-up with Indians at an Indian bar? Close the place down and then find out the REAL reason for the brawl.

ChrisS Posted January 30, 2023 #278331 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sadly there seems to be little or no training or qualifications for security guards in Thailand. Though I do not doubt for one minute that although the Indian tourist allegedly did not start the physical fight he needlessly provoked it Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/21176-news-forum-indian-tourist-beaten-by-pattaya-nightclub-guards/#findComment-278331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Indians who have a Thai passport, or do you think all those tailors and restaurantholders have the Indian nationality. I knew one Indian restaurant in Phuket where the "Indian" owner was from Issaan and even spoke Lao with his wife.
