scotty is a frail old confrontation averse gent....guess he would not be in a position to physically manhandle anyone.

In all seriousness based on the approximate average age of most of us here and just as we were discussing on another thread other day re knife crime etc, we could be well advised to think twice these days before being of a mind to "man handle" anyone anywhere anymore !

In the past we might have felt that a bit of a shove and maybe a punch or two was called for or acceptable but nowadays that same shove alone could have a typical 20 something pull a knife on you, stabbing you somewhere fatal and leaving you lying on the floor mortally wondered, wondering what happened as you slowly bleed to death as you debate should you call an ambulance and all that just from pushing the wrong guy ! :-(

Unfortunately it's a sad fact of life these days and one that we all perhaps need to remember and be aware of a little more of than in the past perhaps - the world is ever changing and not always for the better it seems :-(

Yep, I agree.

I am confident I could defend myself in most situations, but would still be reluctant to take on a young guy.

A knife or a machete brings something new into the equation and my reflexes may not be quick enough these days. I wouldn't risk it.

But take away the knife and I'd probably be ok - that is, until the police come knocking on the door to charge me with assault. No matter who is at fault in Thailand, the farang hasn't got a chance.

So I'd forgo any altercation, put it down to experience and just move on.

As paborn says, it's not worth it.

On the surface, Dusseldorf sounds attractive but I'm rather wary of guys from Eastern Europe.

Everything you quoted is completely correct.

I strongly advise our fellow members and guests to be very careful if/when confronting anyone. The young people today are very confrontational these days.

It's just not worth the hassle or bother. Just give them the agreed amount. And call it a lucky day. You could always tell others after "That lad is rubbish".

Just put it down to experience and just move on!

You won't be going with him again, so it's his lost. And others will soon learn about the young man in question. So in the end he will loose out.
