Don't mess with the locals!

What is wrong with some of these touristy types out there? They think just cause they're of a certain nationality they can mess with the locals? I'm firmly on the side of the Thais on this one. Don't mess with the locals! In any country you're in. Have some respect for the local customs and people, and learning some phrases of Thai go a long way too. I bet these idiots got drunk, went all belligerent and thought they could punch their way out like they would do in some shitty british pub somewhere. But boy did they get what they deserved. Can't get away with that shit in Thailand. Granted, I'll just say that certain types of foreigners will get treated like Gods in Asia, even if they look like freaking Danny Devito, but in this case these morons crossed the line, and you know what that line be? Cash money baby. Cash money.
Although those 2 kiwi idiots that tried to kill a cop, definitely got what they deserved. Just looking at the reports from the NZ side of things, they can't seem to be neutral at all, blaming everything on the Thai cop, but read the full story and you'll see the cop was just doing his job. Don't be that guy fellas. Don't be the ugly foreign tourist. Let's learn a thing or two from our fellow East Asian brothers, who monger quietly, respectfully, under the radar. Never causing problems. Just saying. I spent some years of my youth in South East Asia, cause of Uncle Sam of all things, so trust me, I know a thing or two about conflict.
Be nice.
