Two Brits Chanted “We Won Two World Wars” Before Assaulting 44-Year-Old German Tourist In Thailand
Another day, another load of Brits behaving badly in Thailand – this time beating up a 44-year-old German tourist after mocking him about the U.K. being on the winning side of both World Wars.
The two holidaymakers were drinking at The Godfather Bar in Pattaya when it all kicked off at around 2am local time, with the German man’s Thai girlfriend, May Srinateetundorn, 31, also getting involved:

As is obvious to anyone with a brain, it’s an extremely bad idea to cause trouble as a tourist in Thailand, and sure enough the police are now out looking for these boys, who I’m sure will be hoping they don’t end up in the slammer over there.
What makes it even worse is that the German man is apparently “seriously ill”, so the last thing he needed was to get beaten up in the middle of the street in Pattaya.
His girlfriend, May, said: ‘My boyfriend, Marcello, is 44 and not very physically strong. He has an enlarged left side of his heart and fibrosis in his right lung, which makes him look thin and quite fragile.
‘He arrived in Pattaya on April 13. We have been together for three years, and he visits me twice a year. We have never experienced anything like this before.
‘While we were sitting in the bar, there were two young foreign men drinking there who were acting strangely, walking back and forth across the street holding beer bottles, with unfocused, yellowish eyes.
‘I suspected they might have been using drugs because I have seen similar behaviour before.
‘I told my boyfriend not to get involved, as Pattaya can be like this, and sometimes if you approach people with good intentions, they might misunderstand.
‘However, he still went to speak to them. They smiled in a way that made it clear they intended to confront him. I was worried about my boyfriend, so I stepped in to help.
‘As I was pulling him out of the bar, one of them ran in and punched him in the face. I asked them what they wanted, as we were already leaving. I was angry and fought back.’
The Thai government has launched tourism initiatives to attract families and rebrand Pattaya as a safe destination instead of a place where sex tourists beat each other up in the streets. Apparently they try this every few years though and it never works out.
Get well soon, Marcello!
