If you ask me this guy doesn't look as mental as it usually is, he looks very calculated and aware of what he is doing, he even puts his knife away each time.
Might more got to do with a breakpoint of issues and neighbours, things we can't see in the video.

All I see in the video is a Thai guy trying to attack him, and him creating distance. Hard to say without knowing the entire story.

He is obviously disturbed or drugged and needs help. Why do so many people on TVF apparently wish harm on others and in their misfortune revel?

Yes,it is an interesting phenomenon..

This guy have every sign of been on something (maybe Benzos) and run out of them or just quit alltogether.

 

Some may laugh at that but really it is no joke

could happen to anyone who takes those drugs and quits cold turkey.

 

going of meds + lots of alcohol to compensate.

+ sleep deprivation

+ probable many other physical issues

+ dehydration. 

and malnutricion.

 

Easy to brand someone a nutter but sometimes there are reasons, or at least conditions, as to why someone turns into

this sort of lunatic behaviour.

 

So be sure if quitting to taper off those meds gradually and get rid of any weapons and machetes beforehand!

At least he's not British this time

Bloody hell, I hope he's not a yank.  We already got one yank arrested for drugs today!

And there was me thinking that acting like a retard, threatening people with machetes was an occupation reserved for some Thais.  Oh well , good to see that there is multi-multiculturalism in the lunatic community also. ????

Shows that he has been in Thailand too long. It is wearing off on him.

Bad currency exchange had made him over agitated... Relax man . Revised your budget expenditure all over again . 

The worst thing here, for me, is to see how quickly the foreigners here turn against each other. In a heartbeat.

He probably has legitimate concerns. He might have lost it, but does that mean he should be deported?

Some really weakhearted and disgusting comments here, by so many.

Have you also noticed his posture in one of the videos ? It was like he froze and kept the same posture for several seconds. Couldn't help laughing to myself there.

 

Why don't people like that fall over the "short" Thai railings?

Welcome to TV. Not for the faint hearted or thin skinned. I am reminded of the John Cooper Clarke Poem: 'Bring Back Hanging, (for everyone)

It was a long time ago but I remember seeing a team using blow darts very successfully to get some dogs off a bit of spare land. 

Normally it's a Thai doing the Texas chainsaw massacre thing with the machete now it's a foreigner...not sure how to process the stupidity.  If I hated Thailand that much I would just leave.

soi dogs are somebodies dog. most thai ppl love dogs and feed dogs with the dinner left over. darting a dog will not make you populair. maybe time to move on and go back to yr own country?
