A Thai man walked 4 kilometres to seek help after a homeless man stabbed him to steal alms he collected from an ordination ceremony at a temple in Chon Buri.

 

Sawang Boriboon Dhammasathan Rescue Foundation was called to Soi Photisan in the Bang Lamung district of Chon Buri to rescue the injured Thai man, Somchai. Bang Lamung Police Station also rushed to the scene to investigate the incident.

 

Upon arrival, the rescuers found locals in the area already providing 41 year old Somchai with first aid. They took over and rushed Somchai to a nearby hospital.

 

On the way to the hospital, Somchai recounted the incident to the rescuers, saying that he had attended an ordination ceremony at Tham Samakkhi Temple and collected coins scattered by the newly ordained monk. He then left the ceremony to count the money he had received.

 

 

While counting, a homeless man suddenly stabbed him in the stomach. He left all the money and ran from the scene to save his life. He continued walking along Sukhumvit Road in search of help.

 

A 41 year old woman, Kae, who contacted the rescue team and police, revealed to Channel 3 that Somchai asked her for help. She noticed Somchai had been injured. Somchai told her that he was stabbed at the temple, which was over 4 kilometres away from where she met him.

 

Police are now investigating the incident and reviewing security camera footage at the temple and nearby areas to identify and locate the attacker.

Lets hope they do a better job of identifying the assailant than they did on the Win driver number 12 who assaulted two women.

loads of shops and houses opposite the temple, 4Km on the Sukhumvit before he found somebody to help??? 

Well we all know that it no use asking Monks for any help.  They showed their true colours during Covid, all me., mer. me.
