Whether that's dead, hospital, jail, extortion from police, or whatever... just suck it up, and back down from the altercation. If one Thai is pissed and comes after you, there'll be 15 right behind to back him up. If that doesn't work, more than likely he knows a cop or two, and then you find yourself in court under trumped up charges.
