Western Woman Tourist Smashed with Bottle by Thai at Full Moon Party

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Anyone got a link to the footage? It looks rough but this kind of thing happens every day in Thailand, just more often to guys and not caught on camera. Thais are fucking savages when they get annoyed, they make Khmers seem tame. :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Full Moon Party Gone Wrong: Thai man smashes foreign woman over head with glass bottle
Aug. 27, 2018
A fight that broke out at Phangan Island’s famed Full Moon Party ended in ugly fashion last night, as a local man violently smashed a glass bottle over a foreign woman’s head — an incident that was captured on video.

The video, viewed more than 3 million times in its first five hours on Facebook, shows a vicious brawl between two foreign women and two Thai men, who later told local media they were the owners of the pharmacy where the fight took place.

According to the men, one of the women was, allegedly, eating a snack outside a pharmacy, blocking the entrance. When they came outside to tell her to move, things, reportedly, got out of hand, according to Sanook.

Of course, none of that can actually be seen in the video. When the video is joined, the quartet is already in a bodily tug of war, grabbing each others heads. That ends when one of the men — dressed in black — grabs a nearby bottle and smashes it over the brunette’s head.

The fight immediately broke up after that. As fights generally do after someone has been bottled.

You may not be shocked to find out that this video already has thousands of comments. Most are taking the foreigner’s side, which is probably not all that surprising given that it features a man smashing a young woman over the head with a bottle (then threatening her with its jagged remains afterward)...

I watched it yesterday but from a different angle, from this angle it looks like it was blondie who escalated it. No excuse for what he did but time and again unfortunately tourists, particularly young drunken ones don't know that side of the local psyche and that the best policy is to de-escalate things by walking away. This sort of shit is of course standard weekend drunken behaviour in the towns and cities back home, savages indeed.

Having watched those vids i reckon those women attacked first, then fought like crazy. It's unfortunate that the only thing on hand was a bottle rather than a baseball bat or pepper spray or something.

still NO REASON to hit someone from behind with a bottle

I'm just surprised they didn't say something about the excessive use of commas:

'When they came outside to tell her to move, things, reportedly, got out of hand, according to Sanook.'
