And within 3 seconds you would have had 20 Thai guys kicking you in the head.
I've seen it a hundred times on that street, a Western guy starts something with a Thai guy/chick, next thing you know all the Thai bouncers are charging in from the surrounding bars and sticking the boot in like a pack of rabid dogs.
Yup, Thai rak Thai. Never start a fight with a thai person, man or woman or you'll have 20 other thais jumping in to kick the shit out of you.
Two nights ago I saw an Australian dude push a motorbike taxi driver out of the way, the motorbike taxi guy is well trained in muy thai, punched the guy once in the head, the ausie dropped and hit his head on the pavement, died later that night in the hospital.
Shit like that happens all the time here.
