I hope there will some follow up news on this.

It seems lots of Thai females grab knifes to win arguments. I always wondered how that will play out when someone gets hurt, and the police arrives.

Will the husband be prosecuted for injuring her with the knife?

Will she be prosecuted for taking a knife and threatening him with that?

Possibly he would never have injured her if she wouldn't have grabbed that knife. (yes, I know that is just a speculation)

 

I think from a "western" perspective only few people would grab a knife in an argument if they don't try to defend their life.

In Thailand there seems to be almost no barrier from a few words to grabbing the next available knife.

 

Ask Ms. Chanyaphak Thanakulwittaya, 27 years old, and know that before the incident, she had an argument with her husband. and tried to fight for the fruit peeling knife The length was about 15 centimeters, but she couldn't fight with her strength, so her husband grabbed the knife and started waving it back and forth. He tried to grab the knife again. As a result, the knife cut into the hand, causing the aforementioned injury.

 

Cant say she attacked him with a knife?

Too little information to understan clearly what really happened.

Can speculate to each persons liking, I guess.

"he took hold of the knife, swinging it in a threatening manner."

That will be a problem, he should have thrown it away so she couldn't use it anymore.

I have been in Thailand 34 years and I still have not been able to work out why there is zero impulse control. Things just go from emotion to action with no filter. Is it the lack of consequences, a behavior based on what they see in TV, parenting issues …

Absolutely correct. My Thai Mrs and her 11 year old daughter both explode without warning, zero build up, zero empathy or regards to safety. Never seen such a lack of personal self-control in people. I asked other farangs of their experiences with their Thais and sure enough apart from one of them, they all admitted to enduring dangerous episodes of Thai psychosis in the female form!

Pick better Thai women, not a problem then.

My wife once employed a couple to be maid & gardener/driver for us. They lived on the property. One night the guy got drunk, and the woman pulled a knife on him. He ran into our house and complained to my wife. My wife told me to get out of bed and go to the woman and calm her down....which I did but not without some trepidation. They're no longer with us.

This is what happens when you have a relationship with a bar girl. Nothing good comes out of it.

I think you must have gotten the words celibacy confused with bachelorhood 

[spidermike007]

The most shocking aspect of something like this is the realization that people allow themselves to stay in unsuccessful, toxic and co-dependent relationships like this one. Why not just admit that things have failed? Why not admit that you guys just don't belong together? Why not admit that it's just time to move on, and man up and do the right thing?

 

Get out of that house and away from that witch, ASAP.

20 years! How was the transition back to the UK mate? Mind saying the reasons for leaving?

In 2018 I was 53, living in Thailand, and unable to find a job in Thailand. So, with 14 years left until  (state pension) retirement age, I thought I best (still reluctantly) return. I had previously worked in the oil industry, but hadn't worked for 3 years, although I still had around £50k in savings.

Things I didn't know about returning after so long away:

Car insurance cost about double because I had been out of the UK for 5+ years. BMW320i cost £1500 to insure.
Because I hadn't maintained a bank account in the UK, I had no credit-rating.
On 2 occasions I had to pay 7 months rent going-in (the thick end of 4 grand). I had no referee in the UK. Finding a place to live can be a bit like finding a job!😫
I got a new dentist at the first attempt, easy. I had moved to a place that wasn't my home town, so I just sigend up to a surgery in my new town (Worcester), no questions asked. I did actually get Bumrungrad to send some medical records over.

All-up, it's been ok, Also managed to give up smoking 3 years ago, after 44 years a smoker. The biggest motivation? Not wanting to spend £400 a month on fags! Also cut down on drinking by quite a lot.🙂

(If I'm ever lucky enough to win the lottery I would of course return to live in Thailand, I'll always love the place, so many great memories).

Thought I was the only one. I put it down to Thai girls really not understanding that an elevated voice doesn't equal impending violence.

The problem is, no matter their background, you don't really know what will happen until you are in a situation that they may or may not use a sharp object?

We all know Thais are a bit hysterical.

Absolute nonsense. Knife crime in the UK is very low by international standards and death by stabbing in the UK is almost the lowest of any country in the world and well below Thailand, US, Australia, France, Germany...etc. 

https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country/

When stabbings do occur in the UK they are nearly always between gangs of youths (usually know to each other). They get well-reported of course.

English! No surprise.

Nah,...A good wife is the way to go. But it takes 2 to have a great marriage. both have to have great respect for each other's integrity !!! I am a lucky man with a great (Thai) wife, been together for over 20y. and it keeps getting better !!
