Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya

[Hellfire]

As if f+++ing their women was not enough, some foreigners try to win against local men in every kind of petty dispute. First- why the h+++ do you need it? Second, chances of success are quite low, so better not to try.

Fortunately this kind of assault on foreigners is still relatively rare here, however this publicity will not be good for Thailand if the authorities are unable to suppress it. It's never a good idea to get in a physical altercation with a Thai unless you're in a Muay Thai ring. If you win and kick his butt you've lost, if you get your butt kicked you've lost. There's just no upside. Most of the time puncture wounds to the neck result in death, so both the assailant and the victim we're very fortunate.

If you want to win a knife fight, don't get in one.

The police need to be looking for all of these friends as well. Surely, if the police had not arrived fast enough this man would be dead.

Looks like the Polack got what he wanted.... A fight! If he wasnt looking for a fight he would have stayed in the car!

World class family resort!

Polish man doesn't understand Thai customs, traditions, behavior or psychology

 

Heated Argument with teenager speaks volumes.  Why escalate a situation

Tell them your sorry , you are still learning and will do better next time.

 

Just watched Thai drivers license video.  Most of it was drive slower, more careful, be kind, courteous and only short beeps of horn when necessary.  Watch for the unexpected.

How can they continue to promote as a family destination, not taking away there may be some hidden gems, but on mass the whole place is nothing more than the wide east and no right-thinking person would consider it as a designation for family given the random attacks.

 

I'm and taking aside that some may be confrontational, even though the level of indiscriminate violence is astonishing every day.

Pattaya and Phuket  seem to be in the news headlines for all the bad reasons 

Both supposed to be highly thought of Prime tourist areas 

Maybe change is in the air 🤔

You mean like kick them for sitting on a public place next to their houses?  It took a huge protest for that Swiss bastard to face justice.  I think you are confused about the power dynamic here.  What counts in Thailand is how much money you have above all.  Of course all things being equal, like in a road rage fight that both could have avoided by simply walking away and talking calmly, Thais tend to favor Thais, that's human nature to be tribal. I'm guessing you have zero Thai friends based on your ignorance of the basic facts on the ground here in LOS.

This will certainly increase not arrivals from Poland when this gets back to their media..

Like a pack of cowardly soi dogs - typical Thai mob mentality! 😡

21 August, a 47 year old vendor who witnessed the entire event, recounted to reporters, that during the time of the incident, the traffic was heavily congested. She noticed a black, four-door pickup truck waiting in the jam when a group of teenagers on a motorcycle approached and began knocking on the pickup's window, trying to force the driver out of the vehicle.

 

The driver of the pickup truck attempted drive away and flee, but one of the teenagers got off the motorcycle, armed with a metal rod, and opened the truck's door. The teenager then stabbed the driver, who was a foreigner, leading to a struggle as the driver fought back in self-defense. The event, captured on video, left the vendor frightened. She immediately called for nearby residents to intervene and quickly contacted the police.

Bang Lamung Police Station, confirmed that investigators are currently reviewing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses. They are actively searching for the suspect and will take legal action as soon as possible.

Looks like the thuggy teen, with his purposely sharpened ended screwdriver, took this weapon of choice with the intent to use it at any forthcoming occasion.

Probably more deadly than a pocket knife

[Frankie baby]

Going for the neck - that's the real kill.

I think the police have enough to get started, Let's hope they cop the lot. Not really something they want in the broacher.

Pity none of the Thai drivers seem to take any notice of the advice!

 

A Brit friend of mine just had to renew his driving licence(s), and had to watch a video - not sure if it was the same one. (He's been driving for about 30 years!) Apparently it lasted about an hour, and he had to "clock in" before watching it and "clock out" when it was finished. He said that NOBODY was taking any notice of the video and just sat with their phones playing games or on Facebook.

Would it not make sense to have a short test at the end of the video to prove that they had at least been watching it? Or confiscate the phones for the duration of the video?

 

The whole set up seemed to resemble the driving test itself - a complete and utter farce!

Duh, wouldn't it have been a good idea to arrest them and find out where the assailant is hiding out? The Thai cops don't really seem interested in catching him.

No money in it for them.

That's not exactly right. I spend my time between Bangkok and Pattaya as I have properties in both places. In 22 years I've never heard a person even raise their voice let alone use a weapon in our large estate on the eastern side of Bangkok. I have 24 years experience in Pattaya and for many years it was very good. In recent years the scumbags have hit Pattaya from up north and they never change their ways when they're confronted with a bit of civility. Even my condo in Naklua, the Brits and most of the Germans have moved out and the uncivilized from up north are slowly moving in. If you think I'm a racist try living with them.

Good advice. I had a similar incident on Sathorn about 10 years ago. Some loon blocked me with his bike then banged on my window for me to open it while his other hand was in his back pocket. 

 

Best to stay in the car. Either you lose the fight and end up with something sticking out of your neck or you win the fight and end up on the front of the paper with 5 cops pointing at you and possibly deported. Lose lose. 

 

 

What did you do to piss the guy off? 

[billmichael]

Reading the story and the comments no one has said whether the "foreigner" possibly caused a near-fatal accident for the Thai teenager.

August 20, 18:05, police were called to a violent road rage incident on Soi Khao Noi, Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. The incident involved a stabbing, with one individual sustaining injuries.

 

Pol. Col. Navin Sinthurat, Superintendent of Bang Lamung Police Station, received the report of an assault involving a weapon and ordered investigators and patrol officers, along with rescue teams from Sawang Boriboon Pattaya, to respond to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, rescuers found a 58-year-old, reported as a Polish national, suffering from a puncture wound to his neck, just below his left jaw. The injury had caused significant bleeding. Emergency responders provided first aid before rushing him to the hospital.

 

At the scene, police recovered a makeshift weapon, a triangular-shaped, sharp metal object resembling a screwdriver with a plastic handle, believed to have been used in the attack. Bloodstains marked the area. The assailant had fled the scene on a motorcycle before authorities arrived.

 

A witness, 16-year-old, recounted that prior to the stabbing, he overheard a heated argument between the victim and the assailant. The dispute reportedly stemmed from a traffic altercation, where the victim, driving a car, and the assailant, on a motorcycle, confronted each other. The argument escalated into a physical fight, with the assailant unable to overpower the victim and resorting to stabbing him with the sharp object.

 

Shortly after, the assailant's friends arrived on motorcycles, armed with wooden sticks. Fortunately, authorities arrived on the scene in time, causing the group to disperse and flee in different directions.

 

Pol. Col. Navin Sinthurat has ordered a manhunt for the suspect, using descriptions provided by witnesses and video footage captured by bystanders. The police are actively gathering evidence to apprehend the suspect and bring him to justice.

Never get out of the car, if you need it, you have the best weapon on Earth, it weighs almost two tons.

If you’re in that situation, better have a car without airbags or a button installed that you can disconnect the airbags. Otherwise you’re a sitting duck. These monsters know how to discharge the bags with a blow and you can’t move your car.

 

Same if your followed by some thugs waiving guns in a car. Just break hard & reverse hard  into their front and drive off. That will release the airbags in their car and/or destroy their engine. 

 

Other situation is if someone tries to stop you on a lonly country road in the middle of the night, or otherwise tries to stop you. Don’t stop and just drive through with force.

 

Same here and you must not have airbags in your car or be able to disconnect them before taking action.

 

I have already gone through these situations in my mind and have ready plans for different scenarios, to act imedeately.

 

Johan, 2008 Isuzu Gold PickUp without airbags (it was a choise) but w very good belts.

 

PS Secure your rear number plate with extra screws, so it would’nt come off easy……

Why didn’t the police capture one of his goon buddies and water board the bitch until he gave up his friend?

 

need to fight the primitive with severe punishment
