Popular Post webfact Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 Picture: Channel 7 A British man was chased in the street by a knife wielding Thai man after he repeated asked for a beer and was refused and then was told to go home. The case reached Thai national TV news Channel 7 after a clip and information was posted by Mr Jack's wife Nalinnara, 28, on Facebook. In the Facebook post requesting information about the man in the video it was stated that the man approached a group of Thais and the foreigner drinking at a shop in Phraeksa Soi 10, Muang Samut Prakan, south east of the Thai capital Bangkok. The poster said her husband didn't have any money with him and turned down the man's request for a beer. But he wouldn't stop and asked "twenty plus" times for a beer creating annoyance. Eventually the Brit stood up and told the man to go home. To defuse the situation one of the Thais present fronted up the price of a beer. But the man came back 5 minutes later armed with a knife. The foreigner ran off leaving his motorcycle. The assailant chased him, couldn't find him then returned to the shop to ask where the foreigner lived. Apparently this was not the first time this man had done something like this. Reporters from Channel 7 went to the area and spoke to the owners of a grocer's opposite called Ms Neung who said it happened at about 10.30 pm on Saturday 18th December. She confirmed the Facebook details adding that there was a considerable commotion. She said that she knew the British man who was a frequent customer and that he was a polite and nice guy. When asked where he lived the other people present on the night in question said they didn't know. The Thai man had made trouble for someone else two months ago, she said. Nalinnara told the media that her husband had gone to the shop opposite to buy cigarettes then been invited over for a beer by some Thai friends. She said that Jack ran 200 meters to escape the man leaving his bike. He was now scared to leave the house. She provided the Muang Samut Prakan police with a clip and they are now investigating.

Glad you are so integrated. It depends what level of Thai society but I warn people NOT to accept invitations to sit down and drink with Thai's from Thai's below a certain level. The best you can hope for is the bill. The definer is if they are sitting around a bottle of Mekhong or Saang Thip. My polite refusal to an invitation is to explain I have stomach trouble - they seem to accept that as a genuine reason and not a put down/slight. 10 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gain nothing by confronting a knife-wielding psycho. Best thing you can do to defend yourself is indeed to walk or run away. Epecially if its a crazy with a knife. Don't know why people would want to "defend" themselves an other way. To protect pride ? too many downsides to doing so. I doubt you get deported for it if there is enough evidence who started it and you did not go overboard. But IMHO running is the best defense especially if someone has a knife, but im sure all the ex SAS / Seals on this forum would have disarmed him while holding their beer in their other hand ???? 8 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
