I was beaten up by some English people once, just to add a bit of balance.

Their national sport is Muay Thai. Pretty much everybody in Thailand can fight.
i used to think that until i worked there for a short period.our production manager had a run in with a couple of the thai's that worked for us and ended up sacking one. the bloke told him he was going to kick his arse so the production manager went outside with him. i thought the st would have hit the fan as the production manager was only a small bloke but fairly strong as he was an ex gymnast and the thai was a fair lump of a lad.

the production manager literally kicked the living st out of him. i think he went a bit over the top to make a point to the rest of the staff.i asked him if he was not worried the bloke knew muay thai, but he reckoned there wasn't much chance of that and he wasn't fussy either way.
he was actually on good terms with the local lads that worked for us as he was fluent in spoken and written thai which is unusual apparently ,and we had all been out on the town together numerous times where i learnt the thai's can put the booze away as well as anyone from the uk, and appear to have similar problems with pissheads causing trouble, just not on the same scale as here.

pretty surprised to see something this severe taking place there though. as already said , generally very nice people that have a very long fuse .

I do not travel. Reduces the risk of this sort of thing happening at the hands of foreign savages.
Was that written tongue in cheek?

Not cool but TBH I've seen more violent CCTV footage! The family were quite lucky. (Actually, wasn't that recent one in the petrol station posted here where the guy was unconscious and was still kicked in the head?)
The chap in this video was also kicked in the head. Actually, the savage pigs jumped on his head.
Once? wink
