Should make the security guard think twice next time, all that over a bottle of water.

Now that they know he is leaving in April the court case will be "maybe" just after any legitimate visa allows him to stay.

Besides what does he think he will get from a security guard? 

Thais will close ranks now and the game is over because he accepted 50,000 from the bar owner, which will now go to the Solicitor who will then bill for more.

Should have taken the 50,000 and walked.

If Thailand is to ever come out of the dark ages of the third world... there needs to be more follow through like this... sorry to see him sell out to the bar owner though... not much class in that

I'm going there to get slapped if I get 50,000 baht compensation for it.

Good luck with suing a (now unemployed) security guard in Thailand! Even if he wins he will get nothing and spend thousands of THB to get there. Don't suppose his Thai lawyer will tell him that though,

This guy has no honour. He took the 50,000 from the owner and still want to sue the 2 security guards.

Why does the bar owner has to pay him the money if he goes legal? He deserves to be slapped.

Thailand should banned him indefinitely from entering the kingdom.
