Pita faces ban today, Canadian assaulted on Soi 6 in Pattaya - August 7

[@TheTaffia]

The Canadian guy did not get beat up. From what I read, he got into a pushing match with a bouncer and fell over and hit his head according to video evidence.

[@fipinochildrenplaying2801]

Why is a bouncer going after old man in the street.

Pattaya has been promoted as a family destination as long as Ive been here and thats 20 + years.Pattaya wont ever change its powerful owners like it as it is.

[@Gizziiusa]

I remember when they first mentioned that they would back around 2005. At the time, I said to myself "That will be the day. No typical, normal family would ever want to come here for a family vacation." How wrong I was. Years later, I noticed Indian, Russian, (and Chinese albiet within tour groups) families coming. In conclusion, indeed it has evolved into somewhat of a family destination.

[@paulmiller9997]

So, a 65-year old former oil company manager from Canada was trying to break into a car on soi 6? I mean, I guess stranger things have happened in Pattaya, but really!? It's interesting that the other parties are described as "men dressed as bouncers" rather than "bouncers" or "security staff". Surely, it shouldn't be difficult to determine which establishment the "bouncers" were representing if they are genuine security staff. I suspect this is another case of a drunk farang falling slightly out of line against a thai and suffering the mob results. But, let's keep in mind this a 65 year old farang. Probably didn't stand a chance as soon as he drew the attention of whichever "bouncer" was involved in the initial interaction.

Canadian guy doesn’t move away from the car, the security guy comes back and again says that’s not his car and shoves him away from the car.

I can careless about all of the modernism and modern conveniences and I'm young I'm 29 years old I can careless about being around Mc Donalds and burger king, starbucks man please I get enough of seeing that crap here in the USA. I'm not going to Thailand to surround myself with the same crap and by the way from what I been observing from the distance I really don't like what they're doing in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Krabi, and Koh Phi Phi it isn't cultural anymore and there catering too much to tourism there not doing nothing for the local people nor the farmers not at all. These areas in Thailand are a clown fest it is a shame this is why I choose to stick to the far south part in Trang, Thailand instead. The far south part of Thailand and the Far Northern part of Thailand are way better it is more cultural, traditional less congestion and they don't cater to tourism and not money hungry for foreigners' money. When I come to Thailand, I won't spend no more than one day in those hot spot areas. This is why the areas in Thailand that stick to their own Thai ways are much better and they don't have any foolish going on either.

Thai police will "investigate" the assault and although video shows the bouncer striking the tourist first and knocking him down, hitting his head on the pavement, the tourist will be at fault for having a head in the first place. The police representative said "If the tourist didn't have a head, he wouldn't have this injury." The bouncer got promoted for preventing an attempted car break in.
