snoop1130 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Three Thai men arrested after stabbing of Lebanese tourist in Pattaya Pattaya station chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch announced the arrest of three Thai men following violence at the weekend in the area of Soi Bua Khao. Mr El Wazzi from Lebanon was left with a three centimeter long, 10 mm deep cut to the left side of the ribs after an argument over the movement of a motor vehicle. Arrested and facing charges of committing dangerous assault were Tharapong, 43, Ek, 35, and Natthawut, 36. They admitted their involvement but said the Lebanese started it, reported Sanook on Tuesday. Pol Col Apichai said such incidents damaged Thailand's tourism and were bad for Pattaya and were thus high priority. He urged members of the public or tourists with disagreements to call his men to sort it out and not to take the law into their own hands.

Who in Pattaya really cares about the Lebanese man. What focuses them is image loss to that putrid boghole called Pattaya. That is important. Money...money...money! If he had been Chinese the Mayor would have given him a civic reception and a grovelling apology taken straight from the songbook of the PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thechook Posted October 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2018 So the actual victim here is Thailand and not the guy attacked by three armed thugs. I guess a wai and an apology to Thailand and all will be forgiven. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazySlipper Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 10 hours ago, snoop1130 said: but said the Lebanese started it Let me get this right. In their heads because someone starts an argument (valid or not) they had the right to pull a weapon and stab someone to settle said argument. Seems like a very rational argument to me... Oh and the fact that they were carrying some sort of weapon does not mean intent does it? I dunno, in my book if you are carrying is because you have the intent to use. Thus the age old cliche, "possession is nine tenths of the law." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about accepting the fact that he can not curb the crime in Pattaya. Such incidents cause irreparable damage on Thai culture and perception of foreigners on Thais . Who cares tourism!

If you read the original news. Witnesses said they struggled to over power him and this is why knife came out. 3 against 1 and they still could not win without a weapon.

He started it - typical cowardly, bullying response. Certainly worrying about the damage to tourism. Already more tourists than they can reasonably care for - overwhelmed immigration booths at airports, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The Farang just happened to be Lebanese. The Thai's didn't know or care where the falang came from; that is the problem as I see it. Most any non-thai could have been knifed by these three. Now other Thai's see their is no real punishment so have at a farang day is approaching.

AlexCanada Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 As long as the punishment is the same as 3 drunken Brits beating up and stabbing a defenseless Thai man, I am satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
