Brit 'tourist' murdered by scythe in Kanchanaburi - friend in hospital - loud music blamed

[Farang Kwai]

It's all about the Meth aka Yabba 

 

All of this homicidal violence is due to Yabba which most laborers smoke & supplement with whiskey which makes them crazy.

 

The elephant in the room with all this crazy violence where someone is suddenly 3 times as strong is meth.

It is a foolish notion to think that there is even a modicum of regard for life in Thailand.

or respect from foreigners?

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.

For clarity, these guys are/were not 'tourists', with both the deceased and the severely injured being neighbours and in long term relationships with their Thai partners in Kanchanaburi.   They were not doing anything illegal, as there is no current law that prohibits alcohol consumption in one's home, and I believe at the moment there is no constraint on numbers of people who may gather in one place (Kanchanaburi especially as it is a 'Blue' zone).   Noise is another matter, whether it was music or even laughter.   At 3 a.m. any noise at all is going to carry, and Thai houses are not renowned for their sound proofing qualities.

 

These were not small guys, and looking at the photos of the Thai who assaulted them, it must have been extremely quick and unexpected before they had a chance to react.

I was expecting to find a comment from this guy saying the foreigners deserved to die and the Thai(s) did nothing wrong.  I can't see it, so I guess someone had the good sense to remove it.

 

Really unpleasant person, saying people deserve to be brutally murdered simply because his mental illness requires that Thais are seen as perfect, peaceful people.  It boggles the mind.

He has a habit of posting those sorts of comments, not quite a full shilling IMO.

I don’t think its racism.... just an absence of balanced thought by someone who’s ‘gone native’.

We should never forget we are only the guests here. What is allowed to the Thais is not always allowed to us.

Don't "guests" normally get a bit more slack?  I think you're stretching the meaning of the word guest quite a bit.

 

"You're a guest, so be nice."  OK.  "You're a guest, so expect to have fewer rights and protections that your hosts."  Doesn't quite sound right.

Kanchanaburi city seems to attract many drunk loser foreigners much like Pattaya. Almost every time I walked past a certain bar some drunk ass foreigner wanted to pick a fight. Luckily I was in a good mood next time Koon Kee-Mao Falang won,t be so lucky. Drunks are so easy to knock over really effortless. Thailand has more boozer loser foreigners per square mile than anywhere I have visited. Most sadly end up like this guy. Maybe knock off the booze?

This guy does not have mental issues that committed this murder.He was smart enough too shift in high gear and get the hell out of there. Obviously new right from wrong ???? And didn't want too get caught

I detect some racism.  It's not just the pro-Thai stuff, there's some anti-White stuff lurking in there as well.

I sick of reading such inane idiocy as ‘we are guests here’......    Where are guests murdered ????? 

 

Are you now suggesting that Foreigners (guests) should not be sitting outside drinking a beer ???? or they face what you seem to think are justifiable consequences  ????  

 

This is some truly imbecilic Thai apologist rubbish..... 

 

 

 Foreigners are the second class citizens here. Like it or not, but for many Thais it is an axiom. And, as a second class citizen, you are expected not to cross certain lines. Sitting outside and drinking beer - no problem. Listen to the loud music at nights the way the first class citizens do? Big no no! 
 Do I say these views are normal and fair? Off course NOT. But this is the reality here and one should accept it in order not to get into the trouble. Don’t behave in Thailand the way you behave at your own home place. Even if you live here for 40 years - you are still a guest. Don’t forget it for your own sake!

I rarely  drink but irrespective of what other people do I turn the music down when asked. I found being agreeable prevents beheading

There is a fair concensus of people here not insinuating but voicing the opinion the farang ignored repeated requests to turn their music down and at about 3am got attacked, deservedly so. I think people agree  a good beating was in order not decapitation. If the farangs had turned their music down and showed  some respect this incident  would not have happened.

You've made a lot of assumptions....  

 

This conflict went from Zero to murder instantly - there were no repeated occurrences, build up, there were no warnings or requests to turn down the volume....    this went from being sat there to being dead without a warning.

 

Was the music even loud ??? ...  this of course is the headline.. but is it true, just like all the truck accidents claiming brake failure... because its printed or accused, it doesn’t mean its true. 

 

@Hammer2021 - you really need to check yourself and some of your comments - you are slipping towards the extreme end of the Thai Apologist spectrum....    A guy was murdered and you are suggesting that he only deserved a beating... and for what ? ...  You have lost your grip on reality. 

 

 

Meanwhile we have information from someone who knows the victim (below)....

The killer had known mental health issues as stated and should not have been at large. Have you never had Thai neighbours playing music at night?? No warning he just came strait out and attacked them.????????

Lets hope for their sake that you are also in a good mood next time as well , because it will be bad news for them if you are in a bad mood .

   But do your best and try not to hurt them too much , just give them enough punishment so they learn their lesson and then walk away .

   Just knock them all out one by one and then walk away , no need to put them all in ICU

The same goes for many foreigners who don,t give a damn about the Thais. It works both ways. Respect others and try to be polite. Twenty two years only had one bad encounter while on a train some teen punk trying to show off his manhood to others. Did not end well for the punk. Falang (1) Punk Ass Bitch (0)

That depends where and with whom you are hanging out - the ’second class citizen’ thing is perhaps an opinion you have interpreted from the way Thai’s treat you.. why is that ????

 

I’ve never experienced such here....  Thai’s are generally indifferent to everyone else around them & more often than not as a foreigner we’ll be treated more favourably (thats my experience at least).

Thai's would be the target of attack or assault in the same situation. But usually a ‘warning comes first’...  such examples are rife in the Thai news.

‘these practices’ ??? you are making stuff up.... Thai’s don’t care about us (foreigners) any more or less than anyone else around them. IF we or Thai’s behave poorly we will be judged and potentially dealt with accordingly, just as Thai’s judge other Thai’s.

Sorry but even in Texas the dude across the street put stupid speakers in his car.. Midnite and 100 meters away in my back yard my house and the damn wine is shaking in the glass from the his base......The guy very lucky I didn't fill his car boot full of 9mm holes and we kind of mellow.. Sold all my guns, retired here...My point being I can see this happening..Not your country, 3AM not very smart, best never to push the locals too far..

RIP partner, shoulda went to bed long time ago...

 

[Sunnny]

 It is the cases like this one which make me prefer to stay in Pattaya. Here we have a lot of foreigners and the locals are generally more tolerant to us and often see us as their income source. Don’t say they love us here but chances are higher that in Pattaya they will first ask you to lower the music’s volume before they cut your head off.

Thais have zero respect for volume levels and neighbors. If this was not farangs he would have joined the party. More Thai racism period.

 Yes, keep assuring yourself they love you even more than they love themselves. And then go and pay the double and triple prices everywhere. It is a sure sign of love and respect. Or when the Thai minister tells the public during the first wave of pandemics that foreigners will get the vaccine right after homeless and beggars get it - this is, probably, also a clear sign for people like you that Thais do treat foreigners equally and respectfully. So many examples out there but nothing will help people living inside their own illusionary bubble. 
  Still I warn all those with a minimum sense of reality present - never forget that you are strangers in this country and BE CAREFUL. The guy whose head was cut off in Kanchanaburi probably also thought that he was an entitled foreigner surrounded by the friendly locals. Nothing, as it turned out, was further from the truth.

In what world is a ‘good old fashioned ass kicking appropriate’.... 

 

Here is what is appropriate. 

 

1) No playing music loud in the small hours.

2) IF music is too loud, someone asks to turn it down, offenders turn down their music & apologise. 

 

Anything beyond this is anti-social. 

 

3) IF music is too loud, someone asks to turn it down, offenders refuse - police are called. 

 

Thats it, there is no other appropriate response.
