Video footage of a Thai Buddhist monk slapping an Aussie expat senseless on a train from a few weeks ago has since gone viral.
An English teacher who was travelling on a train from Bangkok to Phitsanulok on December 7 was slapped by a monk who misunderstood the expat’s Thai when he offered a double seat to two women.
The Australian teacher, Jeff, said “Fine, fine” in the video but the monk thought he said “kwai, kwai”, an offensive slang term in Thai meaning buffalo.
“I gave the seats to the ladies, I sat next to the monk, he wasn’t happy and I got slapped,” Jeff said in a follow-up video posted on YouTube.
The video only shows the monk slapping Jeff once, but Jeff later tells a train security guard that he was slapped silly three times.
“To me sabai, sabi,” he said, which means fine. “Thailand is Thailand, I love living in Thailand.”
The security guard eventually removed the monk from the carriage to end to incident.
