That's a bit of a limp pointing finger off the dude on the right .. Is it not ..

If his old fella looked like that he would have had a "hard" time doing the job.

Haven't you noticed previous reports have said a lot of misinformation? Remember even the killers age was 20 something. Why don't you detectives give it a day and some REAL reports including  ones from doctors may come out. 

I'm sooo sorry!  I will ask your permission next time before I dare post again.

Him good heart. Him not idle. Him hero...

Him thug! Him use excessive force to "rescue" the Thai woman.  No CCTV, but previous reports state his thug friends filmed the incident.  Even if deleted the video can be recovered.

I love Thai ladies

We travel to Thailand every year for our holidays.  We always tip our waiters, tour guides, etc but I will not be doing so in future after learning of the Thai - Farang dual pricing system.  We have to save all year for our trips and are certainly not well-to-do.  Perhaps it is time to head somewhere else.

RIP colleague.

So if this old codger had attacked you with a machete. Then ran into you with his cas forcing you to fly into the airvand land heavily on the road. You would just walk up to him once you had caught up and said fair dinkom mate.? 

I know i wouldnt.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear.  I meant that to strike a person whilst they are looking away from you is a coward's act.  The police were there to handle the incident no matter what your view of the RTP.  No, I wouldn't be saying "Fair Dinkum Mate" either.  The old guy's behaviour was disgraceful indeed.

Other than a taxi driver, who is he?

Whatever happened beforehand it was a coward punch from the Thai and totally unnecessary.

Isn't this honoring Buddha?

My condolences to the parents of this beautiful young lady.

The Australian tourist.. like the wombat...he eats, roots and leaves...

I believe the full description for wombats is: Eats, roots, shoots and leaves.

I know it is there but it is the beauty of Thailand that attracts me and the wonderful Thais I have met on our many visits.

What's wrong with criticizing, if that's what he thinks about it.   Who says he has to go home just because he has a critical comment to make?   If YOU don't like it, maybe YOU should be the one going somewhere else, for your reading enjoyment.  

Good reply.  

Some really poor attempts at humour here.  Have some sympathy for the poor guy whether he created the situation, or not.  He has lost a sizable sum of money in anyones terms.

Pretty sad how some of these post consider it amusing for a life to be lost in this fashion.

He may have been standing on the steps filming, those trains jerk a lot and if he wasn't holding on firmly with one hand it would be easy to fall.

Especially in Clogs!! R.I.P Cloggie fella, horrible way to go.

What a disgusting comment.

My sympathy to the families of those deceased and injured. It saddens me to see some of the comments on this ppst. I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Phuket. I loved the place so much that I would like to live out my days there. More importantly - I loved the people who treated me ( a foreigner) with respect, as I also treated them. I love the Thai culture and the people and would like to see the country more open to allowing foreigners to take up residence in their Asian jewel.
