Best keep off bikes
Brits and Aussies have been assaulting and robbing people, both local victims and tourists, for generations.
I have stopped watching the News on television in Australia these days as it is a constant stream of assaults, stabbings and shootings night after night. Either these crimes are becoming more common or the media just like reporting them more.
I would be surprised if it were not the same case in the UK.
I am saddened to hear of the attack on your friend Loy Toy and hope the germs who carried it out are caught and charged.
I have noticed over the years in Thailand that there is a kind of pattern with these incidents, mainly being places like Pattaya etc. where there are vast numbers of foreigners, and more often than not they happen late at night.
Don't know about keeping off bikes but I am not usually out late at night and the area I live in is pretty quiet.
Am certainly not going to start packing, just yet.
