webfact Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Picture: Ban Muang Early yesterday morning the Hua Hin police received notification of the murder of a man outside some old rented rooms in Thap Tai sub-district. Found dead from head wounds inflicted by a knife was Uan Lepanakul, 59. The assailant was 58 year old Buasi who was soon arrested along with a bloodstained Sparta knife and taken on a reenactment, reported Ban Muang. Buasi said that he had been drinking with the victim and both were very drunk. Picture: Ban Muang He had mentioned Uan's new wife whom he knew previously and Uan took umbrage at this. He lost face at being chased out of the drinking party so he decided to drive his motorcycle home and get a Sparta knife. He then attacked his drinking buddy and killed him. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-10-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2021 It comes down to perhaps the single most significant weakness most Thai people have. The pathological fear of losing face. Who cares what people think of you? For those of us with high self esteem, it just does not matter. Sure, close friends and family. But strangers on the street? A so called drinking buddy? Who gives a rat's butt about this? It means nothing what they think, nor what they say about you. Nothing, less than zero. They count for nothing. They are just people, and people you do not know, nor will ever see again. Face is rife with self doubt, and by subscribing to this weakness, a man or woman is made a far lesser person. I consider the practice of face to be the polar opposite of the practice of Buddhism, which teaches the need for introspection, contemplation, owning up to a problem, and taking responsibility for issues, problems and tragedies that you create in life. As many of us know, a percentage of the Thai population lives within fairly small boxes, of social convention, traditions and expectations, especially on the part of the family. That is not a life that some of us choose. Those that are bold and courageous, will find a way to break past conventions, and live a fulfilling life, based on their own choices, independence, and self esteem. Perhaps the definition of a real man? Does a real man kill someone over a perceived slight, or is that simply a 13 year old, who looks and smells like a real man? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total strangers, people you have never met, who you will never meet, who don't know you, throw out abuse and the victim goes into meltdown, even to the extent of killing themself. Why? I just don't get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a saying Ive often used here...LOS is a country with a 13 yr old "mindset"..who has the coolest newest phone--clothes--vehicle--where they shop and what they eat....all a big competition of who can "fill the rice bowl" first..a competition of "likes".....hence the 13 yr old brain......and the useless concept of "face" is holding back Thais... And like an stubborn mule, it seemingly refuses to learn new tricks, improve, or move forward......Up to You Thailand...SMH 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea either why in Thailand they call them Sparta Knives (มีดสปาต้า - 'meed Sparta', though actually 'Spata' would be more accurate because there's no ร์ in สปาต้า). One of those things like why they call a backhoe a 'Rot Makro' (รถแม็คโคร - not a 'Rot Backhoe') ... (note to self: must get out more). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
