Not saying it's an excuse for the savage beating, but at :17 the brit in the black shirt gives a little shove to the Thai man as he walks by, then shortly after the mother slaps the thai in the face. At about 1:12 the older british man throws a punch at one of the thais as the other brit grabs him from behind. The brits certainly started it, you cannot go around acting like a tough guy in a foreign land with a bunch of drunk people, I don't care how much taller you are. Kicking of the downed opponents was certainly overboard especially of the old woman but the brits were certainly asking for it
There was no shove at 0:17, its very clear that 2 drunk Thai men were walking unsteadily into people and one of them walked into the path of the younger British tourist and bumped him. In fact, the drunk Thai man very clearly at 0:20 gave shove or pulled on the tourist causing him to trip and fall hurting his head. The Thai deserved the slap for being a drunk nuisance and causing hurt to other people. Its not clear at 1:12 that the Brits did anything like you said. What is very clear is that some young Thai guys assaulted an elderly couple in their 60s and their middleaged son to unconscious heaps.
There was no tough guy act here. The Thai's were the young tough guys who beat up old people.
