Popular Post Slocum Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 1 hour ago, webfact said: Picture courtesy: Khaosod An incident in the quiet housing estate near Phibun Songkhram Road, Nonthaburi, has left residents shocked. Mr. Phanumeth, a 67-year-old manager of the estate, filed a complaint at Mueang Nonthaburi Police Station after being punched to the ground by a British resident named Matthew. Matthew, who has been living in the village with his Thai wife for several years, is known among the local security guards for his volatile temper and frequent disruptions. The altercation occurred around 8:30 AM on the morning of 31st May. Matthew approached the security booth in a heated state, demanding details about all the security personnel without offering a clear reason. Mr. Phanumeth, witnessing the commotion, approached with the intention of diffusing the situation. In an unexpected turn, Matthew's anger escalated, and he allegedly struck Mr. Phanumeth, causing the elderly man to fall to the ground. Onlookers quickly rushed to the scene to assist the victim and called the local authorities. Residents of the estate are both shocked and concerned. "Matthew's temper has always been an issue," one neighbour said on the condition of anonymity. "But no one expected it to come to this." Police have yet to formally charge Matthew, though investigations continue. He has been requested to remain available for questioning. Mr. Phanumeth, meanwhile, was taken to a nearby hospital where he received treatment for his injuries. He is currently recovering at home. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about safety and conflict resolution within the community. Village leaders have called for an urgent meeting to discuss measures to ensure such incidents do not recur. Residents hope for a swift resolution to this disturbing episode, seeking to restore peace and normalcy in their once-tranquil neighbourhood. -- 2024-06-03 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe Nobody are above the law... especially all the more this white Scum...Cuff him and Charge him is the way out... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 One of the most common stereotypes that Thais have of farang men is that they are 'jai rawn' or quick to temper. They love to perpetuate this as an excuse when they are on the receiving end as a result of their passive-aggressive behaviour towards farangs. Not saying that is the case here, but I have seen it so many times before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know why that is, don't we? It's actually endangering the public because every identifying characteristic known to the authorities should be made available to the public to help in the arrest of the perp.

Ctkong Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 30 minutes ago, transam said: The story is just telling us farangy's, on a farangy forum, that one of us farangy's is being naughty. So, for some here, nothing to do with what Thais do.....😋 Given the relative small farang population here, number of altercations seems many. This reporting like transam said, is to inform the farang communities that antics some farangs are up to and also that Thais will make a complaint to police if it went too far. Soon we will have the farang making an apology on social media for all to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post anon7854 Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 Been in Thailand for many years and never hit anyone no matter how angry I was. And never was I hit. Maybe because I treat everyone from the doorman to the CEO with respect. Try that sometime.
