En oerhört tragisk händelse tas upp i denna artikel, det handlar om en brittisk medborgare som slogs ned med ett slag av en vakt efter ett besök på en bar i Pattaya, mannen avled sedan av sina skador och vakten frikändes sedan i rätten p.g.a självförsvar, detta trots att det finns en video som visar händelsen, men rätten tittade aldrig på denna video.

RETIRED ARMY MAJOR KILLED BY ONE PUNCH OUTSIDE THAILAND BAR
A retired Army major died after being punched in the head by a go-go bar bouncer in Thailand, an inquest heard.
Mike Jones-Mathias was on a work trip in Pattaya when he was violently attacked in front of horrified holidaymakers.
The 55-year-old, who retired as a major from the Corps of Royal Engineers, visited Mandarin Agogo bar for a drink on his way back to his hotel on May 17 last year.
An inquest heard that while inside the bar, he dialled emergency number 911 - just five minutes before CCTV captured him being punched to the floor.
The video, played at the inquest, shows Mike in the street outside the bar before he is approached by two men and hit to the floor with one horror punch.
Security guard Phumphat Tanosingh was charged with grievous bodily harm following a Thai police investigation into the attack and faced a trial in Thailand.
But he was found not guilty after claiming self-defence - claiming Mike had attempted to leave the Mandarin Agogo bar without paying his bill.
Wife Veronica, 50, said: "For the record, I know my husband would never have left a bar without paying a bill.
"What could have happened in that establishment that could make that punch lawful?"
She questioned why her husband would have called for emergency assistance while in the bar.

The inquest in Pontypridd, South Wales heard Mike was at the start of a three-month work trip as a senior operations project manager.
He had gone for an evening meal with his senior management team but later decided to stop at a bar alone.
Veronica said: "At no point in the court transcript does it mention the video shown. Why was the video not shown in evidence?
"The judgement was handed down without them knowing that Mike was dead. Had they known I wonder whether or not the conclusion would have been different."
She added her husband put up a "monumental fight" while recovering from his brain injury.
The inquest heard Mike underwent surgery in Thailand for damage to his right frontal lobe and was finally flown to Cardiff six weeks later.
But he tragically died on March 24 this year after his health deteriorated.
Professor Phillip Smith, of University Hospital of Wales, gave a cause of death as pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and traumatic brain injury.
