Outside the dvd shop opp Ramayana. Guy (local) was getting laid into what I presume was his lady. No one stopped him until a couple of tourists tried to help then a couple of his mates dragged him away. Being female she then taunted him when she felt she was safe and he got away and had another go. My kids where horrified. This was broad daylight.
My last trip to Northbridge (WA) there was a guy running up and down the main drag with the biggest machete I've seen (and I've seen a few lol), swinging and slashing with it as he ran.
Can happen anywhere and definitely does. Don't see the point of your post Les, perhaps on the Thai forum would be more appropriate??
