With all due respect to the deceased, it's so easy to get an edged weapon here. On beach

road any night of the week there are at least half a dozen stalls selling samurai swords,

combat knives, anything you can possibly think of they have. I don't think tourists buy

this stuff because they can't take it with them on the plane. Other Thais usually buy it.
