group of tourists had been drinking since 9 pm annoying the residents with loud noise from music.

This is usually what the Thai's do up here in Chiang Rai, not the tourists.

That's the second photo you have posted without context.

 

What are you trying to insinuate? That because the victim had a bag of Kamagra and a bottle of vodka on the table he deserved to be attacked and killed?

the drugs and alcohol plus the partying into the wee hours in the morning is a good cocktail for disaster .. i could say more but i would likely get banned for it .. anyway three lives have been destroyed.. 

Something doesn't add up.

 

The victims started drinking at 9 p.m. and continued until 3 a.m.?

 

How many beers can one consume in six hours without passing out?

Have you ever been to Kanchanaburi?? Obviously not on the Mae Nam Kwae Road. Plenty of bars, with girls and restaurants and always plenty of places to drink at all hours and even during lock down. 

ok, thanks. I just made a google-maps walkthrough. Didn't know that as I was only in forest and in national parcs when in Kanchanaburi. Next time I'll give it a try....  ????

Looking at the photos, it appears to be those cheap low budget one room shoebox type places, not exactly known for having educated fine upstanding residents. 

And? Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a good education, great parents, and fine people look up as they grow up. There's a lot of luck in the dice of life, you know? And if you tick any of the above positives, well, it's only by chance. Think on…

psychology counselling taught me a lot things in life .?  I like your logic here but who would turn down a room for 4500 so you could drink and do drugs more often ..

So what people can drink all they want IMHO as long as they don't bother others. How people spend their money is not your concern. I got a great education but at times i rather spend less for a room so I have more money for other stuff. (i don't drink). 

 

Its a value for money thing and that is different for everyone, if I am going to go trekking in Kanchanaburi id rather not spend to much on the room als ill be out most of the day. 

 

But if this guy did drink and play loud music I can certainly understand that people would get annoyed, I certainly would. I would not cut his head of but id certainly ask him to tone it down. Perhaps he would even have listened. Noise is always bad and people should be considerate towards others (usually people who drink are not that considerate) but that does not justify this murder.

Well, RIP, but loud music at night lead me to pay my regular subsidy to local police, fortunately it works. Otherwise it could have ended up with bloodshed as well. 

 

Some people just don't give a booboom about other people's well being, so this poor sod has been asking for it.

 

RIP

Interesting.

 

Can I ask how much? Email me if you wish to keep it private.

 

I am considering something similar, but not sure if I should pay the guy making the noise or the police...or how much might be a reasonable amount to pay.

 

Cheers

This is what happens when you lockdown Party-towns and night-time places like Pataya or Bangkok. Tourists hang out in boring places like Kanchanaburi, nothing to do after 8 pm, sitting in front of their rooms drinking for endless hours. No Bars around, no girls to meet. Just wasting time and annoying others. Until.... R.I.P.

There's always girls to meet, wherever you go in Asia.

I can't even sit quietly in a park without some floozy showing up.

Yeah, I was just reacting to @BritManToo comment that girls in Asia always come to him.

I hope it was at least decent beer.

In my opinion if you pay the guy he will just ask for more as time goes on

Yes.....that did cross my mind......or he claims he has turned the volume down so he is still entitled.....can of worms.

You guys are nuts. 

 

Pay the guy making noise to stop making noise? I'd rather pay the police 100K to fix the issue, than pay the guy 1K to stop making noise.

Tragic as the loss of life it is, sleep deprivation from unrelenting disturbing noise can certainly push someone over the edge.

 

At it's core, over indulgence, affecting one's behavior can not be ignored in this sad situation.

Damn straight.  He should pay like everyone else.

In Asia (all of it) if you tick someone off and they snap you don't know how far they will go.  IT's called losing face.  It is really important not to let it get to that point.  

Obviously there is no excuse for someone acting like a fool to be murdered because of it.

What tourism will this affect?  There is basically no tourism in Thailand right now anyways.  Anyone who thinks there are lots of tourists in Thailand are the government.  There isn't.  

Thais can make loud music, foreigners not. But 3am is indeed no time to have a party with a lot of noise.. But we don't know how often in the neighbourhood there was noise at night so it could be a revenge..

The weapon of choice for the killer is a sickle.  

 

The Grim Reaper carries a scythe, which he will no doubt use on the killer.

 

The quick emergence of alleged mental health issues could indicate that the perpetrator maybe has "connections" and will be used to justify a lenient sentence if necessary
