Is anyone aware what charges if any have been laid at this time against the alleged offenders at this time?

On another forum there's a video surfaced with a gang of Thai men brutally punching and kicking a Laotian woman.

It seems that booting helpless women in the face is the new craze for Thai men.

It's a dreadful thing and very sad to see it happening in HH, but let's be perfectly honest, it happens the world over and I've either witnessed or read about similar instances several times in the UK and overseas. Booze? drugs? Upbringing? Certainly a different mentality is to blame with these thugs. Is it just down to jealousy (money related) or pure and utter rasism?

With zero offence, several have posted their willingness to leap into the fray had they been there - fists or glass bottles ablaze.... it's very easy to play the "Hard Man" behind a keyboard, but how many really would have stepped in? I don't know if I would have been too shocked, stunned, scared or simply looking after the LHG to have stepped in as Usual Suspect did - all the more hats off to him!! :bow: :bow:

Pretty surprised when I opened this link as I recognised the older couple. They frequent a particular bar in Bintabaht and come every year I think. Nice couple... understandably they will "never come back to Thailand".

Yes, I think I know the bar, although I don't go to that bar. Recognised the lady from the bar pictured with the older lady. I do use Tina's bar, I noticed they wasted no time in pulling the shutters down...

It's gone beyond that.
Yes.
I believe that you are quite right!
Has this something to do with education or is it as simple that most people in this country don't care what they do..
I am a strongly believer that this incident would never take place if the schools in this country could start to teach children the way forward.
My own stepson and two stepdaughters are just finished highscool but have no idea where Beijing is nor what the Nile is.
I think that everything has something to do with education.

Seriously! This is the fault of the school's teachings. I don't buy that.
