PHUKET: A bar host working on Patong’s Bangla Rd has been stabbed to death by another host after a fight broke out between them on Monday evening (May 13).

 

The two men were working as freelance hosts on the island’s main nightlife strip, earning commission from various bars that they would take customers to.

 

Patong Police Chief Col Anotai Jindamanee told The Phuket News today (May 14), “The two men began fighting on Bangla Rd at about 9:49pm when one of them, Pakorn Pongseeda, 32, pulled out a knife and stabbed the other, Anuchet Chanwijit, 42.”

Completely normal here so not really news worthy !!

I dare say with the numbers reduced from tourists, the competition is hotting up. Good to see it wasn't a farang for a change ????

 

Now one of the freelance hosts has been lanced literally???? 

Cockroaches.

 

Fighting.

Bar Host ???    I would call them ''touters''....

...pulled out a knife and stabbed the other,

 

Is there any law against carrying a knife?  Seems like it's the norm for Thai men to carry a knife (or a gun).

PingPong Show touts! ????

Why do we have to look at the back of a farang with his hair done up like a girl?

Millennial guy no doubt. Born 1995.

Never heard of bar hosts in LOS.

Translation....soi Thai punk or tout  scamming newbie tourists and dumping them in crappy bars orgogo hovels.

At least a law for farangs

I remember the case of a tourist couple being fined for having a Swiss army knife (multi tool) in the car.

How do you know it’s a guy? Could be a butch lady. 

Pffff...!

It reminds me of a book of Upton Sinclair I am just reading ,"The Jungle".

Nothing has really changed in 100+ years. 

Same territory defence fightings for a couple of bahts, to be spent in go-go bars afterwards.

Shabby business, pathetic.

I was going to comment with the term ‘street hawkers’, or ‘street hustlers’ 

Good time for the coppers to finally ban all the touts on the walking street who are a huge nuisance and illegal.

 

They literally form several walls of touts, and they block the public walking street.

Exactly, or words like thugs, scum of the earth come to mind :Never seen touts and bar doormen as aggressive as on Soi Bangla, not even on Patpong of the old days.

A lot more knife attacks in Oz over the last couple of years unfortunately. Mostly younger generation folks

Not easy to convince Thais that knives are not weapons as we know they use only fork and spoon for eating ....

Why not? I’m 67 and I’ve been carrying a knife of one type or another every day ever since I was in Cub Scouts more than half a century ago. Most of those years it’s been a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. Or SAK. But once in a while a sheath hunting knife of the Bowie type blade, or my M5A1 Garand bayonet/knife with its matching M8A1 scabbard.

Just in case such a law exist: Do you think anybody would care?

I was in Phuket for Song Kran and stayed in a hotel close to Bangla Road. Other than the night of the 13th it was quiet. Where have all the tourists gone? I also saw many falangs hawking live sex shows and ping-pong shows. I didn't think that was legal.

I collect knives and have carried one for the past fifty years also, the "public perception" of knives has always been "strange" The vast majority of knife crime, the weapon of choice 99 out of a 100 times is a kitchen knife, especially in the UK, people don't go into a kitchen and get shocked by the presence of knives, yet they see a small folding knife and have a OMG moment - perception ????

Historically Asians don't allow knives at the table for a reason, you don't need two guesses as to why when you see observe the lack of mental stability here!

A bayonet knife on your hip would give me an OMG too!
