Drunken wife allegedly stabs husband in Pattaya domestic dispute

[webfact]

A domestic dispute in Pattaya, Chon Buri, turned violent when a drunken wife allegedly stabbed her 32 year old husband, Damrong Dokpikul, with a knife. The incident, reported to the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya rescue centre at 9.16pm, took place at a rental home opposite Soi Khao Makok, in Nong Prue, Banglamung.

 

Upon arrival, rescue workers found the injured man had already been moved by his mother. Damrong sustained a deep wound to his back and was given emergency first aid before being rushed to the hospital. From the preliminary investigation, the victim’s mother revealed her son had come to her for help, stating he had been stabbed by his wife after a verbal altercation escalated, reported Khao Sod.

 

Damrong’s mother reported to the authorities that her son’s wife had been drinking before instigating a quarrel that led to the stabbing. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of domestic disputes, particularly when fuelled by alcohol. The case is currently under investigation by the local authorities.

If you numb those few brain cells with alcohol, the risk of such escalations is very high.

Quite a few of the locals are capable of this.

 

Lack of education, low IQ, immaturity etc leads to lack of control over emotions and behaviour.

hotchilli, don't forget the loss of face in the  situation. I have seen many Thais

react badly when they have a loss of face. Lots of stress in the world these days.

And I just read that  up to possession of 5 methamphetamine pills is legal. And of course when someone is wired on speed they are very much inclined to drink to take the edge off.
