Pattaya’s Sawang Boriboon Rescue Radio Centre received a report at approximately 04.30 on September 27, of a physical altercation between two foreign nationals in Soi Buakhao, outside an apartment complex located at 348/48, Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. 

 

At the location, they found Mr. John Max Neale, a 57-year-old Australian national, unconscious. Rescuers immediately administered first and contacted advanced medical support from a nearby hospital. Mr. Neale was swiftly transferred to Memorial Hospital for further treatment.

 

 

Ms. Kamonchanok Kanawapee, 22, an eyewitness, recounted that she had been sitting outside the apartment complex when she noticed the injured foreigner drinking with another foreign friend. After some time, the two began arguing. The argument quickly escalated into a physical fight, during which Mr. Neale was struck, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground. The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, as Ms. Kamonchanok only witnessed the altercation after the two had already started quarrelling .

 

After the incident, the assailant reportedly returned to his apartment without showing concern for the injured man.

 

Pattaya City Police officers arrived at the scene to collect evidence and documentation from both parties. The injured Mr. Neale will be treated in the hospital before being able to file a formal complaint against his attacker. Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.

About time, it's been only a couple of days since the last report of foreigners who are friends in a physical altercation on Soi Buakhou. 

 

Idiots.

The Walk in Mansion. 

 

Sadly this apartment building recently had a foreigner fall from the roof top, landing on the awning, a crane was needed to retrieve his body. 

 

You got to feel for these Thai business owners. 

So sad.

crazy times when alcoholic bogan friends start fighting each other

in the old days they would have a punch up on the dirt ...  there was no concrete around,  and if someone got punched in the nose and fell he wouldn't injure himself landing in the paddock. 

Inclined to say they should both be deported if they can't hold their booze. 

Aussies seem to be very aggressive angry drunks.  Maybe try some weed instead.

I hope Jono gets out soon! They can continue drinking piss, the old fools and fighting this afternoon! Yay for the old pissheads!!! 🙄

Yeah, sure Mikey Mike. You take the piss.

The AFL Aussie Rules final is actually today. 

 

No doubt a Sydney Swans and a Brisbane Lions fan having a pre-match dust-up. 

 

Perfectly normal, and basically a mandatory Australian tradition - a bit like the family argument after Christmas dinner.

The whole affair, especially the guy hitting his head on the ground, brings to mind Australia's one punch laws.

You bar owners should know better.

And also tarnishing the good name of Soi Buakhao, disgraceful.

In all the Thanksgivings that I can remember from the last 70 years, I have never seen a fight during Thanksgiving, among family or friends.   That would include Christmas and Easter.

It's called humour or satire; often used to poke FUN at problems in an effort to improve things.

Perhaps a punch from behind/sucker punch?

Thank you, I will post this an Update.

UPDATE

British man 29, kills pal 58, with fatal punch which smashed his head into pavement in drunken row outside Pattaya hotel.

 

 

The Australian tourist has now reportedly died , as reported in the international media, after smashing his head on the pavement from his British friend throwing a fatal punch.

The 58-year-old had been drinking beer with the Brit, 29, when they had a drunken row in front of their hotel in Pattaya.

 

The pair came to blows in the street on September 27 as locals watched. The Brit reportedly threw a punch that caused the Aussie to smash his head on the pavement.

Medics were called to the scene at around 04:30, where they found the Australian man on the ground with no pulse. They performed CPR and rushed him to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital, but they said he could not be revived.

 

Police Major Tanongsak Inphadung of the Pattaya City Police Station confirmed the Aussie's tragic death and identified his British pal as the suspect. He said: "The suspect still denies the charges, but he cannot contest this because we have complete evidence. We have security camera footage from the restaurant and four witnesses who drank together with them. The suspect was drunk at the time. We need to wait for the autopsy results to see if the deceased was also drunk, but he was seen drinking for hours before the incident."

 

Police requested the court to detain him at Pattaya Remand Prison. The suspect refused to say anything, even though we had an interpreter, and he will get a lawyer to defend the lawsuit.

 

The cause of death is still pending and the reason for their fight has not been clarified by officials.

Sure, you can be the one to tell the partially-buzzed Ozzie he can't have another beer.

Living among Italian-Americans back when the first-generation ones were still alive, no gathering will go to waste without some kind of dramatic confrontation.

 

Well, these people aren't supposed to be depicting such, but being that Pacino like to say he is a full Italian (both parents)...

 

 

Unfortunately aggressive people again, that can´t control and refrain from impulse action. Totally unnecessary violence, when there is an option to just say F-O and go home, as it seems they had been drinking enough and can´t control their actions.

Yet another brilliant insight from Gottfrid that none of us would have figured on our own.  On behalf of the entire Aseannow community I thank you Gottfrid for your tireless service.

Thailand desperately needs more quality tourists like that!  Visa free!

Two friends🤔

Friends and pals, doing friends and pal stuff... nothing like manslaughter to bring folks together.
