I don't condone the beating; but I find myself wondering if they were being a typical loud, destructive, drunken British mess like they so often do in Spain. Spaniards just grumble and curse them out for that sort of behavior; but they put up with it because "money talks", and Spain is broke and corrupt and unemployed. Thailand is a good bit more traditional and strict. They have cultural values that don't take kindly to Anglo-style bullshit.

There's more to this than what the video shows.

Thai guy harassing people for reasons unknown. Young Brit male trips over something and hurts his head. His mother confronts Thai guy. Father sneaks behind crowd to land a cowardly punch. Family gets beaten up.

Hmmmm
