British man arrested in Chiang Mai after allegedly threatening monk with a machete

[ronaldo0]

So running around in public threatening someone with a machete is regarded as criminal nuisance ! ????????

[Benmart]

Many unanswered aspects of this brief story/video. However, the barstool crowd has all the answers, to include the outcome and punishment to be metted out. Truly amazing.

[elgenon]

If you don't want to convert, just say so. Sheesh!

[PEE TEE]

They put the rent up on his plantation 

[ronaldo0]

From what he said about killing himself he might have earned himself a trip to the local funny farm and from what I hear about them in Thailand jail is a much better option ! 

[Gandtee]

Who will reveal the true story? Something very fishy about this.

Is that Bl**dy Lunatic with Machete?

[nickmondo]

it is beyond me how anyone can be on overstay here.

we have to report every 90 days

they want our address.

So after one missed report, it should flag up, the cops go to the home and sort it out.

why do the immigration want so much info if they dont use it?

How many posting here have had the same thought when those temple speakers go off at 5:30 AM?

 

Yes, places of peace, tranquility and meditation my ass.

It is where he comes from.

ONCB conducted a joint assessment with the Ministry of Interior on the extent of the drug problem in 82,127 villages and communities in Thailand.

The survey showed illicit drug use was taking place in around 30% of these communities

People want Immigration to check old people if a 90-day report is missed?  hahahhhahhahahaa........got bigger fish.

50-year old Brit GOES (pre-meditated) to the temple WITH a machete and probably threatens a monk........in Thailand, on OVERSTAY.

 

For 50-years I have been telling the falangs..........be normal!!!!!!

 

and it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse

 

 

He is by definition, not a Farang!

[clivebaxter]

Not wearing a mask should be another charge added, was he another English 'teacher'?

[Andycoops]

He won't be missed, bye, bye.

He still thinks he's in South London ????

He appears to have quite a good sun tan and an interesting hairdo for a London Boy but probably still speaks with a Cockney accent though

Well,

 

Just looking at it sensibly. You do not go to visit and speak to a monk at the local temple to air your grievances with a machete in your hand, it tends to be misunderstood, and I don't think it has anything to do with a language barrier.

 

Ganja or weed whatever, (and I am not getting into the drugs argument for people to start firing the alcohol one back at me), is known on occasions to have a paranoia  effect on individuals.

 

If the guy as stated, was having feelings of people being against him in the village and sick of the corruption, this will only heightened by drug use.

 

He doesn't seem a bad man when he's not waving that machete around.

 

Either way, no way to behave to get a point across.

When the monk said "I hope you will chop, chop me" he took it rather literally.

"British man arrested in Chiang Mai ............"

 

Why not "Foreigner arrested in Chiang Mai..........."?

 

and  "Police in Chiang Mai have arrested a British after he allegedly threatened a monk with a machete."

 

A "British?" It's like saying "a French" or a "Spanish" - the journalist should have stuck to "foreigner" - it's easier, but no - tar and feather the "BRIT" as is often the case on here. 

[Smithson]

I think the bamboo building he is in has a lot to do with it. I'd be surprised if it's his house. There's a school in CM built like that, I think it's like an international school that's also bhuddist. 

 

Is he really on overstay or is possible he's on amnesty? I'm not sure how that works these days.

If the USA can have African Americans, I want him referred to as African British.

Something isnt right here.

I"ve been told(by a friend) that cannabis makes you relaxed and smile a lot and do nothing more than eat wotsits and chocolate .

The last thing i (my friend) would do is go aroungd waving a machete at the buddahs .

Actually your ' friend ' is right but paranoia is also another side effect.

 

The ' wotsits ' and ' chocolate '  cravings according to ' my friend ' is commonly referred to it by users as ' The munchies '

In the country where i was born there are a lot of marrocans stealing and robbing and whatever else they do , and when they catch them they call them north africans ???? just state that their marrocans but their to afraid to call it for what it is because their scared for discrimination . If it walks like a duck and it sounds like a duck it probably is a !@#$ 

[crazykopite]

That Dome house looks a cool place ! He must have been pushed to the edge if he wanted to kill himself . I wouldn’t want to be in a Thai prison at any time but worse still now with Covid being rife.

If you follow American news you'll notice the double standard. A police shooting? Well that was a Black man shot by white people officer (notice the capitalization). An armed robbery? That's gonna be: Chicago youths rob liquor store at gun point. I predict this game is being played in the UK also.
