You have two choices, forget about it or follow it up and risk getting a bullet because you made some local moron lose face. Not trying to be patronising, but those of you who only visit Thailand for 2 weeks a year may not realise how things work here, please take notice when it something as serious as this, for your own safety.

Guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 I had a "slight" experience in an upstairs bar some time ago. ( about 2 years) got the "bin" for about 1200 bt, ( about 300 was my fair estimate) I pulled out my cell phone and punched in 1699 ( tourist police main ##) and told the mamasan to explain the problem to my friend on the phone. she handed me back the phone in about 1/10 second and I was asked to leave and for get the bin. no drink ever tasted as sweet as that one. I also am told you can get the # for the nearest police box if you ask them for it. Mite be a good backup plan if we want to turn the tables on the crooked bars. Just a thought? any of you thing someone from the kings group could be reading this board? well, tell them. for me> kin kee lao die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Hi! quote: Not trying to be patronising, but those of you who only visit Thailand for 2 weeks a year may not realise how things work here, please take notice when it something as serious as this, for your own safety. Very sound advice. I always visit Thailand as a tourist but have spent 60-70 weeks here during the last 20 years. I believe that many tourists don't understand that we are virtually without any chance if we get into serius trouble with any Thai. We don't speek the language and don't have the right contacts. Some make friends with a local cop and think that makes them untouchable, they are wrong. Standing up for your right isn't worth it if you go hom in a sealed metal box. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhumwit, I've been monitoring this thread, off and on, since its inception. I don't think there was an outcome. It certainly appears to me to have been a giant wind-up. RR has vanished down a rabbit-hole and nobody can prove anything, one way or another. Based upon some excellent posts and investigations by the intrepid NEPFAN, I think the whole thing is a load of bulls*it. PhordPhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 quote: Originally posted by Scum_Baggio: The whole episode demonstrates once more what long-timers in Thailand have known all along: that underneath all that supposed tranquility and peacefulness of the Thai mind there is a very violent streak in a large part of the population. I am sure that there are many Thai men who, given half an excuse, would jump at the opportunity to bash up a rich falang who shags "their" women. Let's face it - 80% of Thai males are complete losers, and bashing someone's head, shooting someone, driving noisy motor-bikes, or treating their wives like dogs raises their rotten self-esteem a bit. A pitiful lot. Scum, what's your point on this one? "their" women? Are thai men so much in short supply of thai girls because of tourists? Come on, this bouncer gets all the pussy he wants, no doubt. As for the violent streak, everyone's reaction on the thread shows that it is indeed not something they are used to. You know the kind of violence you talk about is something that is built up thru an argument or a frustrating banter, and not planned. this bouncer did not even know his victim. it's purely a case of bullying not so uncommon in many night spots around the world, but to imply that in life in LOS there's a constant farang/thai confrontation looming... maybe, it's the BKK air but next winter, if you want, we''ll go to Issan or some province and i promise you'll feel not the least on your guard over there.

Guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Yeah!! What he said. It's funny, I feel safer in the bad parts of Thailand than I do in the good parts of the U.S. Please don't take an isolated incidence (not even really confirmed) and make it sound like that all Thai people hate Farangs. If you really want to feel safe in Thailand, wait for me. Since I'm Thai,I'll protect you..promise. See this Thai don't hate you guys....If you buy me a beer.

Guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 All too often, there seems to be a considerable difference in opinion between people living IN THAILAND, and people living OUTSIDE OF THAILAND. Does that mean anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
