Bar fight video in Soi Lion

[lol-ific]

Aggression should not come with you on your holiday to Thailand. Honestly, the Thais in those videos are weak as pizz getting cheap shots in like that. To kick a man who is already out cold is sick.

 

[Mesperanto]

That's good advice. And in the case of the guy in the 2nd video, he was acting like a complete A-hole, and he challenged the Thais to fight him, a very, very stupid thing to do. He asked for a good ass-kicking and got a bad head-kicking.

 

[Veronika [:]

Aren't you forgetting the 3rd and 4th rules of Fight Club. If Thais went by the rules of Fight Club, then this thread wouldn't exist.

The first rule of Thai fight club is if a farang gets in a fight with a Thai guy, he will get his ass his ass kicked by the mob of them.

 

[CAB?Loserrface]

saw this video link after I watched that one... getting aggressive when you're alone and surrounded by a bunch of Thai dudes, not a good idea.

I would love to take up this challenge..
To bad i am allergic to camels....

 

[Free Caledonia!]

So I'm in the walk away camp as well, not worth the bother, nothing to prove and only likely to get a kicking, so makes no sense.

However, what if the person getting the kicking you do know? your friend, maybe your son? maybe a bar girl you've chatted to a couple of times?

Where does all this leave you then? do you stick to your morals of either action or do you change your action dependant on the circumstance or person?

Well rounded mounds of silicone aside, we're not talking about Nazis commiting 7 mil deaths worth or suicide. We're talking about gangs of punks running around taking cheap shots at drunk farangs. It's great to be a message board vigalante and all... But I have learned in Thailand it really does not pay to go out of your way to help some stranger out, you really don't know half the situation. Unless it's your friend, or you really really know what's happening or something....

Up to you though. Good luck, maybe I can donate you some blood or something. I'm B POS

 

[Zenablue]

I don't know how wise this would be, but if you're prepared to get a kicking, fair enough. I have to say that I would be prepared to get a kicking to back up a friend of mine, but not a stranger, regardless of the situation. I always consider worst case scenarios, and in Thailand, getting the shitkicked out of me, large fine, possible jail time...for a stranger...no thank you...

 

[Kaio j]

The security guy looked like the one in Tiger. You sure it was in Soi Lion?

 

[ownerest]

would find it very hard to sit still on my barstool drinking my Singha watching someone getting a kicking though....

 

[infamous g]

I think Denver has the right idea. It's a lot easier to stay out of trouble in the first place than to end up in a fight you can't win. And if I had to guess, I'd say that most of the falangs who get themselves into trouble probably ask for it in one way or another. That can happen when some people have too much to drink.

I used to know a guy like that. For some reason, he couldn't stay out of trouble. And it wasn't just his bad luck. He just seemed to aggravate other people when he had too much to drink.

Another thread down the pan due to personal conflicts. It's getting tiresome guys. Sort it by PM please.

 

[Lil P:)]

AGREE 100%.

 

[Hi..]

There was nearly big trouble for one falang who was staying at the orchid guesthouse on Soi Sansabai a couple of weeks ago. All because he wouldn't pay 20 baht to park his motorbike. He was calling the Thai guy who takes the money every name under the sun in a very aggressive manner.
Within about 3 mins there was all of a sudden about 4 or 5 Thai guys loitering in the shadows. It was only by the intervention of the Hotel manager, whom persuaded him to pay, that he avoided a heavy beating.

There would have been absolutely no chance that I would have intervened and helped him out. For a friend yes, but for a complete stranger i think it is just madness. I actually think from what i have seen that the Thai's show quite a lot of patience when considering the behaviour of some of these idiots..

 

[CuteLittleMama]

i didn't notice him hit a girl or even go after a girl, i looked a few times
i saw him go into one thai guy, but then of course another weasel thai guy sucker punches him when his back is turmed
you call it "thai justice"
i call it little weasel thai guys that would never fight anyone one on one
biggest wimps in the friggin world

 

[Stealth Redhead]

There is only one guy getting tiresome Dawsey...5555

 

[kristina]

That's not a threat?

We're all adults here guys, lets keep it cordial eh? PawYai mate, you've made some real good points but you've completely discredited them with the above comment!

As for me, like some other BM's, I also know how to fight - in fact I spend 4-5 nights a week, every week, training to do just that. However, I have NEVER been in a fight that wasn't in a cage or a ring - I just don't get myself into those situations. I understand that random attacks do occur (not just in Thailand I may add) but 99% of the time trouble is easily avoided with a smile and a handshake. I have even, on more than one occasion, bought a guy a drink to diffuse a situation, even knowing that I could almost certainly win a fight without taking any damage. Does that make me a 'Wuss'? I don't think so, although I'm sure of you would disagree.

Would I stand there and watch someone get a kicking though? it's a tough one. This year in Cardiff I waded in to a group of city fans who were intent on attacking an extremely drunk Frenchman celebrating a rugby win. Again, no violence was needed, just some smiles and a heartfelt expression of the fact that there was not any need for it. If I thought that the same could work in LOS I'd attempt it, however there's no way I'd get involved if I thought I'd also get a kick in, stabbed, hit with 2x4 etc.

People need to realise that "I was drunk" is no excuse - If you know you get violent when hammered, don't get hammered!

Peace

On my first trip October 08 i had a few nights in Pattaya the first night i spent a lot in Anglewhitch , bought ping pong balls for the girls,lady drinks including some of the mammasans who pushed one of the girls my way...i politely refused watched the show which was great and left promising to return the next night.

Following night i returned a bit merry as i got to the door two Thai men which i assume are bouncers said entry 500baht...i had seen this the previous night asking arabs and indians for entry fees and letting to clubs etc and letting "white" farangs in free i told him i was no arab and had been in the day before he insisted and was told f'off bad move i was surrounded by 3 further males some had been watching nearby just as i was going to get a kicking Mamasan popped her head round the curtain smiled and took me inside...i complained to her and she gave them a talking to....it was only after reading tales on this forum was i aware of how lucky i was that night....

totally agree avoid all kickoffs with the Thais

I've seen two or three fights in Soi Tiger. Short lived, as security there seems to be on the quick. When any Thai/Farang confrontation starts though, it's amazing to see how fast and how many other Thai guys appear, seemingly from nowhere.

Aside from late night (after closing) Sansabai pissing contests, Soi Tiger is where most trouble I've seen occurs.
