.....Yes These people go into a kind of mental mode.On their own run away like a scared chicken.
My post some time ago,(difficult to find now) about four young Thai animals beat fk out me with thick canes. Which was premeditated .They are gutless!
Mortiboy, you and I have some firsthand experience with the local "tactics". Rest assured, if those couple of
Thais people in the video were not trying to restrain the mob, the kicking of the already unconcious bloke
would have continued for another 15-20 seconds. This was a very "mild" incident. As Ulick McGee points out,
there appeared to be 5-6 staff right there? Could they not have escorted him out? He was belligerent but I
did not see him attempt to strike anyone? While the vast majority of Thais do seem kind and tolerant to
a fault, I have to say I've witnessed a few (particularly in the nightlife sector) who enjoy beating up drunken
tourists, who you have to admit, are little more than human punching bags. A really brave feat that. Even
muay-thai does not teach folks to repeatedly strike those on the ground already unable to defend themselves.

And what did he hit him with? was that an elbow slash or a knuckle-duster strike? The way the Thai man
slunk away after he blindsided the guy leads me to believe he subconciously knew it was a cheap shot? Usually
there all running down the street, leaving the bar-girls to come-up with some believable story for the police.
