Thais fight the way how these things are done here......it's weapons and numbers, they're not going to change because some westerner wants to have a barbrawl according to queensbury rules!

Get involved in a fight here and be prepared for extreme brutality, otherwise leave it.

that may be the case,the bottom line its cowardice 15 against 1 or 5 against 1 ,hardly hard are ya doing that.,also they are obviously pretty damn racist/prejudice just cos its thai v falang we`l get involved and put the falang in hospital,even if the thai(s) who started it slapped the falangs wife or intended harm to their kid,the cunts will still defend the thai,then you wake up in hospital if your lucky and face deportation and a hefty fine,bottom line is in places like pattaya,if it wernt for currency we`d be about as welcome as barack obama to a kkk meet

Exactly. Why the fcuk lads want to get into fights when their on holiday is beyond my comprehension.

Si, you need to think outside the box mate. It's not a racist thing. The same principles apply to thai on thai confrontations and the level of violence in those situations is often much worse. That's the way things are done in Thailand and it's no use trying to judge it against western principles and values.

I think the thais in general cut foreigners quite a lot of slack where behaviour is concerned. I've very rarely seen or heard a case of where a farang has taken a gratuitous beating. In most cases the beating was deserved and resulted from someone being out of order and behaving like a complete arsehole. I don't have much sympathy for people in those situations because they usually get fair warning and choose to ignore it.

Saw about 20 thais chase after and attack another thai in Phuket, who had run down a girl on a bike and was trying to bolt with the motorbike wedged under his car. They caught him at the lights and were pounding on the car and reigning punches in through the half opened window. Lucky for him the cops came otherwise he would be dead for sure.

Reminded me a bit of something that happened when I was younger. Some coloured gentlemen came down to my hometown to cause trouble, they chased some little guy I know, got him down an alley and give him a kicking, 5 on 1. Later on that night there was a load of us coming out the pub and someone points them out so we runs after them and they jump in their car but it's hemmed in by 2 buses, so whilst the driver was trying to manoeuvre backwards and forwards out the gap about 20 blokes were jumping up and down on the roof, bonnet, boot, kicking in the doors, wings and shattering the windscreen. It looked like it was probably his dads car so he had a lot of explaining to do when he got home.

Not always that simple though, what would you do for example if you was with your chosen lady for the night and some Thai guy comes up to her, probably her bf, and tears into her verbally and then physically ?

Stand idly by and do nothing ?

How about you try to defuse the situation down by talking calmly to the gentlemen in question ?

If you chose the 2nd option don't be at all surprised if he then focuses his physical assault on you and half a dozen other Thai guys who don't know the 1st guy from Somchai join in on the impromptu game of smash the Farangs head in with anything that comes to hand.

As cowardly as it may sound, seems like a good time to go to the toilet and not come back.
