This happened on April 13 in Hua Hin, Thailand during the annual Songkran Water Festival.

2 Thai men have been arrested and police are currently looking to arrest 2 more men.

DISTURBING VIDEO OF THE ATTACK:

John Bingham wrote:Wow, that got messy really quickly. I had to watch it a few times cos there was so much going on. I can't figure what happened at the start, it looked like two drunk Thai guys were arguing and then one of them randomly lunged at the tourist in the black shirt, but it doesn't really explain why he fell over so badly, maybe it just knocked him off balance? Then towards the end the guy in the stripey shirt is being layed into. It looks like the woman that comes from behind was trying to help him, but then he gives her a bear hug and tosses her to the ground. Freaky shit, I'm glad we don't see much of that stuff here.

i opened it up on my laptop and its clearer to see,
the 2 thai guys are arguing
then at 18 seconds a drunk tourist (who is with an elderly couple/family) passing by reaches out and grabs the thai guy (not sure for what reason)
the thai guy then goes after him pushes him and an argument breaks out
the other thai guy he was arguing with goes off into the crowd (there seems to be a gang of them)
as the argument is getting a bit heated a random guy passing by with a mullet and stripped tshirt comes along
as that exact same time the other thai guy from the start returns (with some friends following suit),
runs over and knocks out the elderly guy and boots him in the head
he then knocks out the elderly woman,
he then knocks out the drunk tourist guy, who then goes on to get booted in the head 7 times by the thai guy and his mate,
the elderly man and the elderly woman both receive a boot to the face knocking them both out again
whilst this is going on the poor guy passing by in the stripped tshirt gets attacked by one of their thai friends and his girlfriend, he fights back and body slams the gf and makes a swift exit
the gang disperses leaving the 3 family members KO'd on the floor....

what makes this bad is that this was obviously a gang of thais attacking what are obviously elderly people!

Thanks Jamie. That makes things clearer. Nice touch attacking defenseless oldies...

No way that Cambodia can compete with Thailand on some levels.

i don't give a rat's ass what you do or don't find funny.

Well, I don't know what to say about this one except maybe that's the Thailand that I have always seen in Thai men's eyes.

As a nice old Thai gentleman said to me once " Thai men are jealous of foreigners". If you want to piss a Thai man off, just tell him that.
I love ripping the piss out of the king when I meet them over here lol.

The woman slaps the guy in the face first after he attacks her son for seemingly nothing much. The video seems to miss a frame or two at the bit before he falls down and hits his head. It looks like some weird punch. Definitely knocks him off balance though and you can see the surprise in his face. She gets 2 good hard punches and one fucking brutal kick to the head for the slap and all the gob on her. That scene at the end with the whole family lying on the floor is almost a scene from a movie. The way they are laying choreographed like that.

Looks like i'll have to add another itinerary point to my visit.

Lets check the list. Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys,



and my mitts.
