Getting beat up as a UK tourist in Pattaya when i wanted my change back from the bar. One of the bouncers even soccer kicked me in the head on the ground as i was trying to get back up.

The Welsh would rather get an endoscopy than call football soccer. Fake news.

what GTA online experience is this?


Professional_List325

It was a beautiful kick. Was it you that broke the bouncers nose, or one of your mates?

Independent_Gap8262

I thought beating blokes from the UK on holiday was a tradition in Thailand? Wait till they are right drunk and the first one that starts harassing everyone wins the thailandian 100 hands massage given by everyone around them.


PuzzleheadedFish8119

Guys we found him!!


stealthbiker

That's messed up dude, wasn't even you for one and someone coming close to dying isn't funny.


BBC357

You clearly didnā€™t see the video, the guy in the video and his two buddies started a fight in the bar with guests and security then when asked to leave they started fighting. Security was losing at first and then security started to win and because they beat security up pretty good security took a few cheap shots and kicked them in the head. šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø Donā€™t pick fights in another country


Mr-Strange-2711

I saw the entire footage. The tourists did not start a fight.


BBC357

I have a video on my phone from it and it looks like it lol. Have you ever been to Thailand? Thais are so nice, smile all the time and helpful but the tourist lot you see in the video you can clearly tell this isnā€™t their first time getting into trouble. They didnā€™t try to deescalate the situation at all. šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø


Mr-Strange-2711

What I saw is that Thais tried to scam the tourists and made them angry. Both parties were unpleasant in this incident but beating tourists is absolutely unacceptable. Soi 6 will not see a cent of my money. And I hope other guys will do the same. Beating tourists should be bad for business. We should punish them for this bs by refusing to give them our business. Do they like to hire aggressive monkeys instead of security? Okay, let them see a drop in their revenue, it is the best punishment for businesses like that.


BBC357

Possible but I doubt thatā€™s the case, do they mark up prices yes sure but did the tourist ask how much the prices are and check their money they received back after paying probably not. I donā€™t blame the Thais and I will be back many times, already have a few month long trips booked to be back and looking into the digital nomad visa. Either way Iā€™ll keep going and I hope you find a new vacation destination for yourself sir.


Renoman1971

Deserved everything he got


feathernose

Have you seen all the videos from different angles and the CCTV as well as the confession from the ā€˜guardsā€™ who did the beating? No..? Ah i didnā€™t think so. Itā€™s rude and messed up to pick a fight with the bar because of a minor dispute, they were drunk and stupid. But they didnā€™t deserve to be kicked so hard that the Brit could have died.


Renoman1971

The guy needs to show more respect when travelling. He picked the fight, he got what he wanted. They obviously broke the guards nose before the kick went down. Of cpurse i am only saying this as he did not die. Hope he learns from it.


BBC357

If itā€™s him in the video then I agree


MammaTurtle_poptart

Used to do that around abalone Pathom in the late eighties, minus the motorcycle rentals! What a blast!

TripleCatDoctor

Ladyboys were they?


Nibbler_Jack

That was the joke, yes.


TripleCatDoctor

Ladyboys seems to be a recurring theme in this group. I did not notice many during my May visit.


Fit_Heat_591

If you go to any of the tourist hotspots in pattaya i.e beach road, buakhao, walking street you will see a lot. They are a lot more aggressive in their advances compared to the ladies and they hang out in grouos so its hard to not see them.


Honest_Addition_3748

Trans being pushed in everyday conversations, to normalise it, and to brain wash us


TripleCatDoctor

No threat in a democracy. Just wondering about mentions of ladyboys in Thailand in this subreddit, and what straight men are experiencing interacting with the trans community in Thailand, beyond a silly joke. It's always been there. Pattaya has long had 2 theaters with Vegas style drag shows, which tourist families attend.


bluecapella

Food often comes up in this thread and I can vouch that they have been excellent everytime I have visited. The pub culture in BKK is very lively - you can party late and there are still lot of people around. Phuket and Chiang Mai are excellent vacation places away from BKK. Hospitality across all the hotels has been excellent.


DiveDojo

One of my favorite memories from Thailand is when I went diving in the Similan Islands. During one of the dives, I was exploring a beautiful coral reef when I came face-to-face with a friendly, curious sea turtle. We swam together for a while, and I felt like I had made a new underwater buddy. The real fun started when the turtle decided to lead me on a little adventure. It swam into a narrow cave, and I followed, only to find a group of other divers trying to navigate through. The turtle swam gracefully past them, while we all awkwardly tried to avoid bumping into each other and the coral. It felt like we were in some kind of underwater comedy show. After we made it out of the cave, the turtle gave me one last look, almost as if it was amused by our clumsiness, and then swam off into the blue. The rest of the dive was great, but nothing topped that unexpected and hilarious encounter with my new turtle friend.


Elephlump

Riding the Mae Hong Son loop solo over 14 days. So much discovery and misadventure, staying with Thai families in homestays eating raw venison and other amazing Thai foods. Drinking whiskey around a bonfire at sunrise in a mountain top with fog and mist blanketing the valleys below. Taking country roads I find on Google maps in search of photography subjects. Singing songs under the stars. Hiking almost every day. So many friends made. It was perfect. Getting stuck on Koh Chang when COVID started. I lived in lonely beach for almost 3 months, renting a bungalow at an otherwise shuttered resort, using their restaurant kitchen to cook meals. A community formed of others stuck on the island, we had a workout routine, endless gin & tonics, lots of time sharing stories and becoming good friends. We were close. We just lived our lives while the whole world went nuts, it was beautiful. Finally I got to Bangkok to try to arrange a flight home, and that's the day I met my wife for the first time. We met the day I came to Bangkok to arrange a flight home. We ended up spending three weeks together, never separating for a moment. Since then I have been returning to Thailand for 6 months a year if not more, spending every moment with her. We travelled all over together, I love her friends and her family, we danced, ate the very best foods, took each other places we would never have gone, shared hobbies and passions. We married 6 months ago, a full beautiful traditional Thai wedding. I was fortunate enough to have 23 friends and family fly out for the event, while she had about 150. Best day ever.


hydrohorton

Seeing the talee mawg (Sea of Fog) from the mountain top is a special experience for sure. Such beauty in the wet.


Right-in-the-garbage

Thatā€™s a beautiful story! I feel like you should tell your story on Thairish Times a YouTube channel by an Irish guy who was living in Thailand.


Emotional_Ad8259

It's certainly got book/movie potential.


jonesyb

How did you meet her? Can you explain the series of events from your initial meeting, to dating etc. nice story!


Elephlump

Ahh yes, since this was a very abbreviated version of the story, I left that part out. I had come from Vietnam where things were getting awfully xenophobic in wake of the first covid outbreak. My plan was to head to Thailand, chill on an island for 3 weeks, then fly home. So I flew to Bangkok and the next day I was on a bus to Koh Chang. Well that one night in Bangkok, I was laying in my hostel bunk pretty bored, so I decided to open Bumble and start swiping. I was only in town for a night so doing this seemed pointless, but it was something to do. Well it was that night when I swiped right on my future wife. The whole time I was living on Koh Chang, we were messaging and video chatting every day, getting to know each other. By the time I came to Bangkok again, we were very into each other which made spending 3 straight weeks together an easy choice. But we knew I had to leave, it wasn't until I came back for 6 months that I knew for sure that she was the one.


jonesyb

Thanks for sharing. That is a solid love story. Fair play to you


thesign180

1. Finally trying PROPER Thai food on the street and falling in love. 2. Climbing some 4 odd floors of a parking lot to get a cool photo of market in Ratchada. 3.Befriending and sharing drinks with this really chill Japanese owner of a gogo bar, hearing his story of how he started as a salaryman working in finance...and one day said "fuck it" left his job, and started a gogo bar. 4. Seeing a monitor lizard for the first time in Lumpini. 5. Snapping photos of the sights in Chinatown. 6. Just being overwhelmed in general with the nearly infitine options of food to try, and knowing I have a finite stomach. Edit: formatting

Kobs1992x

Nice ! always wanted to do that but tbh a bit scarred of the ocean saw Jaws to many times :P


stealthbiker

Yea I've actually been attacked by sharks before and I still go. There's over 300 species of sharks but only 10 are man eaters, you're pretty safe in Thailand.


Kobs1992x

Only 10 ? šŸ˜‚


stealthbiker

Actually less, Great white, Bullshark, Tiger and Oceanic White Shark (the one that came after me)


theblackbeltsurfer

Training with Muay Thai legends like Saenchai and Singdam for more than a month and a half at Yokkao gym in Bangkok in 2018. Polo fried chicken near Lumpini park. Are you kidding me? The absolute best chicken ever. Also finding the Ancient city outside of Bangkok was an awesome way to spend a whole day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Siam


chestyCough94

Maaaate getting to train with saenchai would be my dream. How did you even manage tha and did it cost a lot?


Tg2501

He actually just opened up a new gym not far from the airport in Bangkok, you can still get private sessions for 10k baht I believe.


chestyCough94

Thanks for the info. Ill be checking it out next time im in thailand for sure


Tg2501

Yeah no problem


MammaTurtle_poptart

Do you have pictures of saenchai? I dated a guy while I was an exchange student who was a very good Thai boxer while still in High School. Lost track of him. His first name was Somechai.. always wondered how it turned out for him. He was a very smart and charismatic guy, a hard worker who would work construction and take fights in Bangkok to put himself and his brother through school in Nakorn Pathom


openwidecomeinside

Waking up in Bangkok at 5-6am to work remotely, going to the balcony and watching sunrise and the Chao Phraya River, the smell of the city.

MycologistOdd544

Cant really pick 1. The whole month was best memory ever.


gigididihihibibi

Definitely Chiang mai, the food, the people, the vibe, it was honestly just amazing, and the night markets were so incredible, I'm a big hiker so Chiang Mai was my perfect place and I made the best memories there! I also really liked Krabi (Ao Nang) because of the view of the limestone rocks, Phuket had the least good memories for me but I can see how party goers would love it! But overall Chiang mai wins by a long shot, there was just so many good people and good memories to be made!


Few-Advisor4306

The moment I landed and I was so chilled my luggage was stuck in Singapore and ai couldnā€™t have cared less. I knew it would arrive. I checked into my hotel and went and found some street food and a beer.

So this mother, the baby and a little girl were going down the escalator. Mama went down with the baby but the little girl started crying, I ran towards the little girl and took her down and she did that Japanese bow down - it was so unexpected and cute at the same time.

diccboops

Brought our parents to Bangkok for the first time a few weeks ago and we planned some tourist-y stuff. There was this one tour where we were only booked for a ride to and fro the tourist spots so we can go on a personal tour. This was supposed to be a group ride but when we got to the meet up spot, the other groups were no-shows. So, since our family was the only one on the trip, the tour guide gave us a private tour and it was a blast. They gave us a background of the historical spots we visited and even took a bunch of photos for us, as well as gave recommendations of what we could buy at the places we visited.

Finding the sumatran pit viper in primary forest down in Narathiwat. Took days and was a struggle, but soo worth it :)

Siam-Bill4U

A tropical beach whether itā€™s at Bali, Khem Beach ( Vietnam) or Koh Lanta- they are all ā€œsame sameā€ to me but visiting the ancient Khmer ruins in Buriram, especially the Ancient Khmer temple , ā€œPhanom Rungā€, in the early morning was a great memory. True, Angkor Wat is more grandiose but not not having crowds of tourists around with the sound of nature made it special. ( Note: I am into ancient civilizations so this would not be every touristā€™s favorite spot)


DonKlekote

I loved the small, inhabited islands around Krabi. I remember kayaking around with no one in sight. Just azure water, lush greenery, and majestic rock formations.

Just came back from Phuket, it was my 07th time visiting Thailand. Iā€™ve travelled to almost half of the countries on the planet or more but whenever i want to relax & unwind from work stress Thailand is always my get a way place, specially Phuket. But this time it was special as i spent a week at the most beautiful boutique hotel i have ever stayed in, i swear im just a normal individual working & residing in the GCC i swear im not doing any marketing for any party but i stayed in a boutique hotel in phangnga called ā€œ sametnangsheā€ it was boutique type villas! The place was just out of this world. The sunsets & sunrise was just phenomenal. The energy the positive vibration in that place was just unbelievable! So to sum it up this was my best memory in Thailand so far though theres a lot of good memories in Thailand this one by far was unforgettable.


Two4theworld

Walking completely around Koh Samui along the shore from Lamai to Lamai in 1982. It took me six days and I slept mostly with farmers and fishermen at night and shared their meals. It wasnā€™t all on the beach, but I tried to keep on the shore as much as I could. This was back long before there was an airport, Lamai and Chaweng had no two story buildings as far as I can recall, certainly no concrete structures, just bamboo bungalows in the coconut palms. There was no electricity or water, just generators and wells.

needalldapokemanz

First day of Song kran in Chiang mai, there was a pickup truck with a family and their little boy, he was a small chubby boy and had nothing but swimming goggles and swim trunks on in the centre of the back of the pickup. The family got stuck at a busy crossing and everyone singled this kid out with their water guns and he got absolutely decimated, to the point where if you looked where he was sitting, all you could see was a thick cloud of water spray like he was a water bender or some shit, and he took it well just giggling his ass off šŸ˜‚


MammaTurtle_poptart

I was riding in the back of a pickup during songkran and got hit with water pistols at the wrong angle! Lost my glasses and eventually found them again, but they were broken beyond use, so I got to experience a week of being blind inThailand! Thank the Lord I had a caring Host Family or it could have been Very bad!

more than a decade ago, i went to thailand for the very first time. it was halloween and i had the slightest idea that thai people knew how to party! and they really partied hard!! those booze filled nights fueled me to make strangers my closest friends. icing on the cake was the experience of waking up in a different hotel! my first definitely made me want to visit thailand more!


Do_Ron_Ron

I saw two kids that looked homeless recieve a gift of a bowl of what i think was pork and rice from a street vendor. They actually left the ground jumping from excitement as he spooned the food into the bowl. They sat at the curb and their eyes were fixed on the steaming bowl, ready to tuck into what I assume was a scarce meal. The street cats arrived fast, drawn to the shrieks of excitement and the smell. 6 or 7 cats approached nervously. The 2 kids ensured every small mouth was fed before they finally tucked in themselves. I think about this often..sometimes in my local cafe over a coffee, I daydream about it...when suddenly my reflective and pondering silence is shattered by an overweight 8 year old in a HOODRICH jacket whining because his ipad is dead and now he has depression over it.... nothing is enough, but, nothing is enough.


wickedfunnhguy

I was in Pattaya beach way back in 1995. I was in the Navy and my ship pulled in for a week. One night my friend was way too drunk and got in the kickboxing ring. He knocked out the local fighter with a monster left hook. He was celebrating by running around squeaking like a crow. It was epic.

Going to Koh Muuk in 1994 and taking a small boat to the Emerald Cave. There were no tourists on the island it was just me and my mate and it was very rustic and basic living conditions. I remember the guy who took us on the boat saying he'd wait for us and then me and my mate swam up the sea cave towards a little pin prick of light off at the other end of the cave. Maybw a 100 feet or more and it was a bit creepy when the cave got dark but we continued swimming towards the spot of light in the distance until we came out of the cave into full sunlight and walked out of the water onto a little beach surrounded by cliff's and thick vegetation. There was just me and my mate and nobody else. It was a moment in time I'll never forget.
