Then he should think himself lucky he hasn't been deported for fighting.

Yes

If he did not go to the 7 Eleven this would not have happened. Case closed 

I would like to know the true facts behind the attack - was he provoked or did he provoke??

Sometimes being a farang and being in the wrong place at the wrong time can make you a target for Thais.dont think I know of anyone but a stupid idiot who would provoke 4 Thai men carrying swords and knives late at night.some members here think it's seems to be the victims fault and if he did provoke them that they can slash him up.seriously four men on to one and they still have to use weapons.i bet they all left laughing how tough they all are.

Thank you,I've been jumped by a couple of thugs outside a 7-11 for no reason so I have first hand knowledge.these Thais were probably tanked up and tooled up and looking for some action and there's no better target than a big white farang.

Small farang. Big thugs like me they detour to next rank

Why do they always call them tourists in the media ? The guy been living in Phuket for at least 3 years. 

 

I wonder how he survives in LOS.
