In this initial posting no mention of attackers thai or forieners so i guess attackers were thai

Troll post already removed

Not enough Burmese workers to round up on the island?

AMAzing how slow and unwilling they operate there in Rawai. they got the footage of the murder attempt and they know who these Thais  are yet it take them weeks to produce a simple arrest warrant.? 

If it was 3 germans attacking one Thai with weapons it would have gone down in another way!!!

The super friendly and safe Rawai in the news again. I’m surprised people still go there, truly the as* hole of Phuket.

Never mind, stay kahn, Sadiq is in control.

Travelled throughout the world for 30 years and IMHO you don’t get bashed for no reason usually regardless of the country you are in. A drunken obnoxious German is not a great start ????

That’s a suggestion not a statement

I had a friend there who died. Within hours the locals had raided his house and stripped it of everything, like locusts, including the bed he died on and his SUV. Scum.

Thai Police couldn't catch a cold, let alone three known hoods who got violent with a foreigner.

Islamic paedophiles& other immigrant scum, time to sort things out,shame about the third reich

Typical Farung Thai conflict where the Farung overestimated his own capabilities. Not to forget : lack of experience. He will not ever again pick a fight or challenge.

It’s certainly not the place it used to be. The past 9 / 10 years have made it into a ‘septic tank / pit hole. I’ve heard Phi Phi is also having to much tourism that the pollution from the amount of boats taking the tourists there ‘should be ‘ raising environmental concerns. 

Who cares  , just another day in paradise.

Ask any long term expat who has lived in Phuket for some time (with the eception of expats living in Rawai) and they will tell you Rawai is the low end of Phuket, not only geographically but in every sense.

 

Stabbings, robberies, burglaries, Rawai has always been plagued with this over the years.

No. It apparently 4 on one, as reported in the attached link to the Phuket News article.  They only have warrants out for three.  Maybe the 4th one is the son of someone important or perhaps they only have names of three from witnesses or viewing security camera footage.
