The young, handcuffed man on the floor was cought when tried to steal a bike at Sanam Luang. While sitting on the ground, one of the Sanam Luang security guards suddenly started to beat him up and kick at least two times against his head. The guard left before the police arrived. When I asked around why he was beaten up by the guard I was told, the young man is a known criminal, he was caught several times before, he deserves it, and another guy with a sad looking face told me: "That's ok, that's Thailand".to make a living
