January 17, 200917 yr I had a good friend tell me he was at Question Mark in Jomtien Saturday night. He said there was a drunk farang arguing with his BF. The argurment got heated and the Farang back handed the Thai BF. The Thai immediately pulled out a knife to slash the farang but one of the waiters caught the Thais arm before the knife hit the farangs throat. Both were asked to leave. Losing your temper and hitting a Thai does not make sense. It is very embarrassing and not a good idea.
January 17, 200917 yr Agreed. Not a good idea when we live in a nation of Kickboxers. And that's just the ladyboys.
January 17, 200917 yr You mean when the bf says "slap me, spank me, more-more, I like it", I may get carved up like a Christmas turkey?
January 17, 200917 yr Are you sure this took place in ''?'' ? I was there from 8.30 pm Saturday until 1.50 am Sunday and was not aware of the incident. It was either a non-event or at another venue or I am just deaf and blind.
January 17, 200917 yr Showing physical force to any Thai is not a good idea! I don't even think it is a good idea to raise your voice. You'll get nowhere. The best way to avoid any unpleasant situations is to walk away. You're in Thailand as a guest. For a few thousand baht you can be made to disappear. Rather unpleasantly I might add!
January 18, 200917 yr Losing your temper and hitting a Thai does not make sense. It is very embarrassing and not a good idea. This certainly applies to anywhere in the world. At least, I would hope that all agree that it is never acceptable to hit another person except in self defense. And causing a scene in public is equally unacceptable.
January 19, 200917 yr That said, trying to stab someone to death is a bit of an over reaction to a slap.
January 19, 200917 yr That said, trying to stab someone to death is a bit of an over reaction to a slap. Tell that to OJ Simpson. Sorry I am getting off topic with that remark! . At one time, the owner of Howards Hotel, Punja, told me never to get into a physical confrontation with a Thai. You will be the loser.
January 19, 200917 yr Slapping a thai ranks right up there with cheating him out of his tips. Word gets around and most time they and their friends will even the score.
January 20, 200917 yr never to get into a physical confrontation with a Thai. You will be the loser. Is that so? I can think of a few types of "physical confrontations" that can work out just fine . . .
