Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 So let me tell you about my night last night. Ministry of sound. Bangkok. It all started reasonable well. It was my Birthday and I really wasn?t in the mood to do much. I met up with a friend and he talked me into going to the MOS. After about 45 minutes there I noticed my friend having a bit of an argument with someone on another table. I saw my friend was a little drunk, and was swaying a bit, but he was harmless, I knew that. But then 3 members of security started getting overly heavy and started pulling him all over the place. I thought I could help the situation by telling security that it was OK and I would walk him outside to cool off. They just kept getting rougher with him, so I tried to get in-between to break up want looked like trouble. The next thing I know is that about 10 securities came over and started swinging punches at me, I tried to breakaway and a bouncer smashed an ashtray in my face. By this time it was a full scale beating and someone else joined in with one of those metal extendable riot stick. I was repeatedly hit on the head in the face, ribs and back. They also started hitting my girlfriend when she tried to get them off me. The result is a smashed tooth, several cracked ribs, numerous lumps on my head, a black eye a swollen nose and cheek and a slash in on my jaw where the ash tray hit me. Also covered in bruises from my knees up. And before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion I was stone cold sober. It was early in the night and I hadn?t drunk much due to being a little sick earlier in the evening. And I wasn?t being aggressive, at least until they started using tools on me. After that I did try and defend myself although it was hard as my g/f was holding onto me in her attempt to protect me, so I was unable to swing a proper punch even if I tried. My g/f has got a big lump on her head and bruises on her back. We wanted to report to the police , but when we approached a policeman outside we were told that there would be no point, as there is too much money involved with the club (and police etc) and besides the club would have organized their version of events, One of the security after told my g/f that one of the bouncers that was getting carried away with the stick on me is often like that and causes a lot of problems So MOS security is just power crazy thugs. Keep away/. This is all true and no exaggeration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CondomKing Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Noodle -- sorry to hear about your beating. :: Sounds like it could have happened to anybody and that's "just not right". Maybe I'm naive but I think that some kind of complaint should be made. If it were me that sure wouldn't be the last of it. :: Even with knowedge of alleged police corruption I would certainly have gotten some kind of hospital report and also contacted the police and maybe spoken to a lawyer as well. Good luck and get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 1. get a hospital report. 2. get a police report. 3. Have someone take pictures of you in hospital. 4. inform MOS in London (they need to know what's going on in los). 5. get a lawyer (inexpensive in Thailand) and sue the bastards, you've got rights, even in los. Don't let them get away with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Says Yehtmae: Happy Birthday :: Your sarcastic and VERY unpleasant humour is totally inapproriate and unnecessary :onfire: :onfire: :onfire: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 gather up some "friends" and have a chat with the manager when he is on his way home Seriously, put the incident in some news groups that cater to tourists, thai chat, ect. I think their ( did not know it was a uk based business) hq would respond if they got hit where it counts ( in the pocketbook) slime cant grow under a rock if it is turned over and exposed to the daylight.
