Nice excuse for grievous bodily harm.

He asked for a ride to the motosai? The nerve!

Next week maybe, a motosai praised for returning fanny bag full of money, gold and diamonds to a distressed "tourist".

Wow, short fuse.

Young , drunk and out in Pattaya. The guy obviously said something offensive to the taxi man. But he should be used to that by now. No reason to start breaking ppl's noses. What an ass

The drunk sits beside the taxi driver. Then he gets elbowed. The taxi driver is a martial artist

Yeah...that taxi driver moves in a very effortless way. And the Chilean guy is skinny and stoop-shouldered.

It looked like the Chilean tried to tickle or prod him.

Someone should tip off seekingaslyum, he can file a lawsuit against the lot of them.

In the mind of a psychopath like you, anyway...

During my time here in Thailand I have heard about farangs being assaulted and on most occasions it has been well deserved for acting like obnoxious twats.

In my 35 years here the only issues I have had which may have turned violent has been with other farangs.

Until today I have never had an issue with a Thai that could have turned nasty.
