Why was the Thai /Brit walking around with a knife? 

 

So a good Samaritan was killed. Very sad RIP 

It seems that the prevalence of knives as the weapon of choice is becoming a worldwide phenomena. Anybody and everybody seem to be carrying one around with them. We live in very dangerous and unpredictable times to the point where you have to assume anyone who you may wish to confront is going to be armed with one. There are many unsavoury types out there willing to use them without hesitation. Think before you jump in. 
I hope this guy rots in jail but I won’t hold my breath.

Might depend on what it looks like, there are some evil looking ones for sale in town...zombie knives are they called?

[riverhigh]

Moral of  the story don't intervene in someone else's domestic argument. As long they are not killing themselves. Let them continue screaming and shouting. They are not worthy of youur attention, It's not your problem!  If you really think something bad is going to happen, then telephone the police. Unfortunately in this situation the Japanese tourist dies and the half thai/ half falang moron, I'm not using the word moron losely, lives another day. I doubt if the moron will do much time in jail as he is not the instigator in this fight.

Not sure why people do not read about Pattaya before coming here.

 

One of the prime directives is to "Never, ever, ever, interfere with another man's business when he is fighting with his woman".  Especially if they are Thais.  

 

The Japanese guy found out the hard way....big mistake.  Sad, but avoidable.

For clarification, Luk Khrueng, or "half child".

Whether it's considered part of the culture or not it's 100% a regular occurence in rural thailand.

And in my country in Central America and all over!  Why are we surprised?  My Dad beat the sh*t out of my mom.  Until he stopped.  They loved each other to death.  Married 54 years.  Can't say that about modern marriages, but who are we to judge?  Is it wrong for Thai men and boys to hit their wives and girlfriends?  I will not waste my time trying to find an answer for animals behaving badly on this planet.

Hummm, you seem to claim that Thai men beating their GF is not part of their culture, and then you go on and suggest to wait some 20 years, (In which time the culture might have changed)...

Im on 12 years I think

Yes it's amazing that someone would go out for the night, presumably to have a good time, but carry a knife and be prepared to murder a complete stranger.

Are you saying wife beating leads to strong and fulfilling marriages? It is actually a fact that there's an inverse correlation between wife beating and divorce in the west, as wife beatings have decreased over time the divorce rate has been rising. Does correlation equal causing though? 😂

Euros always laugh at the American penchant for guns, and yes, we have a high rate of violent crime committed with guns (although that is a characteristic of certain areas in the US primarily occupied by the Lumpen), but the vast majority of us gun carriers never even use one...because when you carry one, you tend to walk away from all of the daily conflicts you see.

From the amount of street stabbings in the UK that one reads about, it could be said to be part of British culture.

Picture of the scene.

 

At approximately 06:05 on December 29, on Pattaya Third Road, a violent altercation resulted in the fatal stabbing of a 27- year-old Japanese man, identified as Mr. Seita Tanabe. The victim succumbed to his injuries despite resuscitation efforts.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Wuttikorn Plodprong, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya City Police Station, received the report and alerted his superior, Police Colonel Navin Teerawit. Officers and rescue personnel from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation rushed to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, Mr. Tanabe was found lying in a pool of blood with a severe stab wound to his chest. Bystanders were attempting to revive him as rescue workers administered first aid and performed CPR. The victim was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where he later passed away.

 

 

The alleged attacker, identified as 36-year-old David Mansiri, a Thai-English dual national, was detained at the scene. He displayed signs of heavy intoxication, with visible facial swelling, abrasions, and torn clothing. Despite his arrest, Mr. Mansiri showed no remorse, even making an "I love you" hand gesture to authorities. A knife believed to be the weapon was recovered and secured as evidence.

 

According to Mr. Bank, a 22-year-old witness, the altercation began when the suspect was arguing with his foreign girlfriend. Both he and Mr. Tanabe attempted to intervene, but their efforts were misinterpreted. The suspect allegedly punched Mr. Tanabe, prompting Mr. Bank to urge both parties to leave the area.

 

Shortly after, Mr. Tanabe retaliated by punching Mr. Mansiri, reigniting the conflict. The situation escalated when the suspect drew a knife and stabbed the victim in front of onlookers. Witnesses quickly notified authorities.

 

Police transported the suspect to the hospital for treatment of a dislocated left shoulder. However, tensions rose when the victim's grieving girlfriend and friends, who were awaiting news at the hospital, learned of his death. Overcome with anger and sorrow, they shouted abuse at the suspect and attempted to confront him. Police swiftly intervened to prevent further violence.

 

Lieutenant Colonel Itthiporn Tangchuthaveesap, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya City Police, documented the crime scene and coordinated with investigators to gather evidence and pursue legal action against the suspect. Authorities have assured that justice will be served in accordance with the law.

 

The suspect under police detention.

We?

We, (most of us), got there 30+ years ago.

It's just that some men like to act like bullying children and can't control their anger at minor incidents, nor control their fist either.

Until one day, they meet someone who retaliates more forcefully.

The Japanese man did what many foreigners do - step up to help protect a woman.

Sadly, in Thailand, (and indeed elsewhere) it is a huge error in judgement.

Correction. For some it is a tool.

For most people to carry a knife, the reason is for either protection, delusions of importance and masculinity or to use in any situation. either way, it becomes an easy weapon to handle and use, sometimes fatally.

Knife crime in many countries is exactly like that!

It's part of their culture in that it's learned behaviour. That's all that cultures are. Patterns of learned behaviour.

     Well, that's two.  And, yes, please both of you stay away.  Pattaya is busy enough.   And, meanwhile, you can continue to comment on all things Pattaya to your heart's content--with your 'one day/night' visit 12 years ago you are certainly as informed and up-to-date on Pattaya as most of the posters here.

You obviously dont read the forum much these days as this type of thing is unfortunately happening in a lot of places across the country these days. ,

IMO carrying a knife makes some people think that hey are bigger. bolder and tougher than they really are. That is fine until your opponent has a bigger knife and actually is bigger. bolder and tougher than you.

You don't know what culture means:

 

"2. the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society."

 

How people behave and what they think is acceptable behaviour most definitely varies by culture.

No mention in the report of how his shoulder became dislocated.  Perhaps his girlfriend was beating him up rather than the other way around?

 

He obviously lost the fight he started with the Japanese guy.  That's why he got the weapon out.
