"Without warning, the foreigner headbutted Mr. Chiwun in the face and shoved him onto a sofa. He then removed his leather belt with a metal buckle and struck Mr. Chiwun multiple times on the face and head, delivering punches as well. Mr. Chiwun fled to the back of the shop to escape the assault." If true, this behaviour is completely unacceptable ... drugs or no drugs. Doesn't matter even if his precious little ego was provoked, this behaviour is unacceptable. The excuse of I was having a bad day OR the drugs or whatever made me do it OR I'm normally a really nice guy ask my friends ... this behaviour is still unacceptable. This individual must be held responsible for his unacceptable behaviour and punished accordingly to prevent this from happening again.

Being Asian himself and from this part of this world, he should have known better. If a Korean friend of his said he was not 100% mentally okay, I would beleive the friend. 4 years of being scammed, that's a long time regardless of the curcumstances. Just my thoughts.

Destiny the stray dog strikes again!!! Another pair of chewable shoes have gone a missing. I think this serious matter should be reported to the local police and all cttv footage in the near vicinity be examined. Photos of Destiny posted in the beach areas effected, warning the innocent foreigners of this shoe-grabbing villain.

Get your popcorn ready for the re-run . Count down to the next coup.

Agree. Even a low paying entry job could get him 10,000 p.a. I feel sorry for his parents. Do I think his intentions were to pay his mother back the money he owed, get off drugs and get job? No, my gut feel is that if he had been successful he would be doing whatever he was doing before. His mother wouldn't have seen a penny of the 10,000.

What's happened! Has Aseannow.com turned into a gay site? For the purpose of gender equality and neutrality, I recommend Aseannow include some young toppless women. This is to cofirm that Aseannow.com is both progressive and inclusive. Failing to do so I will report this serious matter to the Thai Constitutional Court.

Thaksin doesn't understand boundries. Politics and BOT must be kept separate. The primary justification for an independent BOT is that it's necessary to insulate system from short-term political pressures. Without a degree of autonomy, the BOT would be influenced by corrupt election-focused politicians.

“Call out! A Russian man sped out of an alley and crashed into the victims’ motorcycle. The foreigner refused to pay compensation and dared the victims to take the matter to court if they wanted the money.” If this statement is true, this is an act of utter arrogance and intimidation. This behaviour may be the norm in Russia but he forgets, or refuses to accept, that he is a guest of Thailand. Stupid man if he goes to Thai court, it will not turn out well. I have no sympathy for him if he gets shaken down, deported, and black listed.

Photo: The way the Egyptian (?) is slouching on the white vehicle, and talking on the phone, it appears he is fairly confident that he can pay his way out. Money for the boys in brown and, hopefully, a sizeable check for the Thai lady. The way of Thailand. If the money is right, he can walk free.

Thanks for creating the photo, saves me time reading the article. IMHO, the barrier couldn't have been any clearer!! As usual we get the expat community from the "nanny states" compaining that the Thai authorities could have done a better job of securing the area. The foreigner knowingly ignored the barrier and died for his mistake. R.I.P.

The reality of living the dream life in Thailand. As no details of the accident are given, we are expected to beleive it was incredible "bad luck" that caused the accident as reported by his unbiased freind. The follwing sales pitches to garner your sympathy and hopefully your money. - "The 33 year old, who has dedicated his life to setting up teaching gigs for British teachers keen to spread the English language abroad, is now facing a gruelling battle for recovery after a horrific crash." - "Davis’ selfless work has touched countless lives but it’s his own life that hangs in the balance now" Call me callous but these words are empty and can genrated using "AI" software. Doesn't show what he has actually done to deserve such a glowing testimonial.

The condominium management, the security guards and Thai woman have my sympathy. Only a month ago this young gym rat nearly pushed me over from behind inorder to stop the automatic door from closing. Young, impatient, seen him before .... he meant no harm. Daily event people rusing through the automatic door without using their access card to save those precious seconds ... makes life difficult for Condominium security. IMHO lets focus on the sick arrogant pervert stalker. The fact that he did not live there and entered illegally with no valid reason, and then after touching the Thai woman without consent exited the building in secret, is proof enough of his guilt. Hope the information the Thai woman provided the police will be sufficient to apprehend this sick arrogant pervert stalker.

Drunk 55 to 65 old man. Your typical "man baby" that finds his way to Pattaya. Will have forgotten what had exactly happened by the next morning (recollections may vary vastly when alcohol is involved). Most probably will be up and about drinking in the next couple of weeks. Untrainable toddler!

Virtual signaling. It's a photo from the Ministry of Public Health on congratulating themselves for enforcing the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. I guess in their minds "the eight-month gruelling interegaion review procces" of the Act was like enforcing it. I guess they want their faces out there showing that the are doing something and who needs to be paid off. Just joking. Just joking.

Good point but most probably in the tourist's world there are only two genders male and female. I am not a big fan of self geneder identification and personalized pronouns. After a few drinks I may see myself "sexy man", however, 99.99 % of the population will see me as an unattractive old geezer ... just stating the facts ... lol.
