I have seen enough videos to learn, the Thai people don't mess around, everyone there agrees with street justice.
If I ever visit there, I will be on my best behavior lol

Most Thais aren't confrontational. Touristy areas don't accurately reflect the country (neither does calling it "third world).They'll usually go out of their way to avoid violence/drama to a degree not commonly seen in Western nations to maintain harmony. However, "fairness" and "proportionality" don't exist among Thai fighting etiquette.
When they do fight, they tend to be strong in numbers only, fight in gangs, or use weapons. There's no such thing as fighting with honor here. For these reasons, it best to avoid altercations unless someone wants to get jumped 10 to 1, or even 20 to 1.
The video is in a tourist trap surrounded by drunk/high people, a lot of whom casually smoke methamphetamine, so the mob mentality easily takes over.

As a general rule, don't pick a fight with the locals in typical 'tourist trap' places.... They have plenty of experience and pent up frustration dealing with drunk and disorderly tourists....

u/InThatDarkPlace 7h ago
I'm with you. Anyone going to foreign countries with the big man on campus atittude shouldn't go. That's why I tend to avoid foreigners here altogether, and associate with Thais.

That's nonsense. This stuff happens all the time and everywhere. They do not magically create this attitude by going into a tourist area, they bring it with them from upcountry.

u/Opposite-Lead-5291 26m ago
Most Thais are not confrontational. Outside of Japan, out of the 37 countries Iāve been to, Thailand is the 2nd least confrontational. Iāve lived in Thai areas and of course been to tourist areas so what exactly is nonsense?

u/Jazzlike-Check9040 34m ago
Itās a street fight. If you want honor or a 1v1 go to a ring.

Or one could not fight at all and avoid the unpredictability of risking serious injury, death, or prison, and smoke weed in the dispensary shown in the video.

Married to a Thai woman for over 30 years. I can attest to this. I could even describe the sound a 14" carbon wok makes when it hits your skull. It's a very distinct ring.

So many tourists are abusive towards locals and they are dealt with fairly by Thai people as you can see.

The hilarity of running your mouth to people who are renowned in the world for their kindness and proficiency at kickboxing. There's a lesson to be learned here and I think in time they will be thankful this happened to them. The Thai people are measured and wouldn't cause permanent damage. Do this same thing in other countries and their lives would really be at risk.

Before I went to Thailand for the first time a friend who had been bunch said when you're out at the bars etc. be chill and don't ever get in a fight with a local. Reasoning is you might be able to beat one of them but you'll never beat 20 of them. I don't ever get in fights in general, so this advice is useless... unless you're the guy in the video lol
