Picture: Siam Rath

 

Siam Rath reported on the arrest of a 26 year old Thai man called Surasit Klinprathum.

 

Lak Song police in Bang Khae, western Bangkok, picked him up at Sethakit Soi 31 in northern Bang Khae and charged him with causing grievous bodily harm.

 

The case stemmed from an incident at a snooker club in the area on January 5th at 10 pm.

 

The suspect had gone with his pals to the club to play snooker but when they left he refused to go home too.

 

Instead he started playing with some people on an adjoining table whom he didn't know.

 

He was soundly beaten by a man called Geng and didn't like losing.

 

So he picked up a snooker cue and repeatedly smashed it into the face of his opponent breaking his nose, cheekbone and causing him to have to get 20 stitches and have eye surgery.

wonder how much money he lost

There is always someone bigger or better than you, unless you are the world number one in your field. Even then you have to accept you will not win every time. Unfortunately there are some out there that just can't face losing. 

If I play a better player at my sport (table tennis), I tell them to play properly. It helps me improve my game by identifying my unknown weaknesses.

More than he could afford...

probably have to scratch his name off the chalk-board for a return match too?

Many of these incidents I  read about are of reactions that children would have.  Is this the land of smiles?  Or the land of immaturity? 
And very common also.   Such as  a person  having a dispute with another person.  But gets four or five others to back them up .  So it’s five against one.  Such cowards. 

An excellent informative story and given the social,  economic and political situation here in Thailand especially relevant. I rather like the head line which reminds me of the joke about: : Do the Chinese  go out for a Chinese meal or just a meal?

Should have thought twice before playing with a bloke who's nickname is Geng.

 

Yet another fine citizen. 

The west is doing it's best to disappear up it's own fundamental orifice, and peabrains like this guy seem to be increasing in their numbers here.

 

Might be time to look at alternatives.

I haven't seen that anyone has said it doesn't happen anywhere else. Have you? I've just stated a fact, that the violence in Thailand doesn't match what's written on the pack.

Rule number 1 don't gamble with thais

 

Let them do that between themselves

 

Even just a game of pool for a beer can lead to loss of face and hurt feelings. 

 

I'm. Pretty rubbish at pool but won't lower my game because I think that's insulting 

Still beat most locals 9 out of 10.

 

Youd think the girls who work in a bar and play pool day in and day out would at least have half an idea.

That was your crime.  The guy you replied to is absolutely fixated on maintaining the illusion, like "admitting the truth will probably cause a total mental breakdown" fixated.

here we go, as if such incidents only happen in thailand.

 

assume all young men are raised to be perfect examples of humanity and are an absolute credit to their parents where you come from? thought not.
