Amazing story....I'd have my revenge for sure. Legs broken come to mind, but from the sounds of it you wont be up to the task.

Prob better off moving IMHO.

.....Before I can finish the sentence he has taken the thing that people make som tam with, jumped off the porch and whacked me on the head with it, my head split open .... hit me full force on the forehead splitting that open. Now im out, but can still feel blow after blow crashing into my head, neck, spine in fact over the whole of my body.....

Why is this posted in "Hong Khlaay Khriat"? If I hit you just once with the pestle my g/f uses ("the thing that people make som tam with"), you'd be dead. But you felt "blow after blow crashing" onto your head? Can we have the real story please?

RDN - woops the lad did take a beating from his photo(s).

Think I'll postpone my intended repeat trip to Koh Phayam for a bit, which is too bad because it is a nice island... except for the obviously ruthless farang.

btw, lordsux... what is the nationality of your assailant?... Is it Swiss? (just trying to narrow it down from the very few that were there).

Having seen the photos, I unreservedly withdraw my comments. Sorry Lordsux. Get well soon. But don't get mad, get even.

I believed you all along. Get well!

Thx for the get well messages.

I know everyone here only gets my side of the story, I didnt post his here for sympathy, I posted becuase I needed to get it out of my system. And to get some input from others.

There are a few things I would like to add.

One thing I dont think I mentioned is how the relationship with this person was before the incident. We have known each other for about a year, the first six months my girlfriend and I had invited him at least once a month for dinner and even made special arrangements for him as he is vegetarian.

I have shown nothing but respect for this person and we used to get along (I thought) very well. I see myself as a person that can read other people very well and it niggles me a little that my judgement was way off line with him.

The most ironic part of this story is that I bought him the weapon that he used on me from the mainland, when after seeing ours he mentioned that he could use such a thing :/

Much to the suprise of everyone on the island I was up the morning after the attack and carried on as though nothing had happened, I went wakeboarding (actually im the boat driver . I know this was not wise but it takes more than a coward to ruin my fun

All was well until yesterday when painting my mates kitchen I started feeling very bad. Im feeling a little better now but will go to hospital on Monday to get checked out. My heads ok (I think) but I have been having respiratory difficulties since yesterday, hopefully its just the bruising coming out and nothing more than that.

I didnt even want to post anymore about this, but looking at things in retrospect I felt I should mention the above.

Thanks again to everyone that has responded, you all have really helped me get through this.

Lordsux, please, please get to a hospital sooner than Monday. If you are having respiratory problems now, it may indicate something more serious. I dont want to scare you but PLEASE go to a doctor as soon as you can. I had a friend in a similar situation after a blow to the head and it was very serious.

I am sorry to hear about your problem here, and wish you a quick recovery. Revenge is often a good thought, but the reality of it isnt as much fun as the thought. Live your life well and move on from it.

Farangs in Thailand, huh? Makes you proud to be part of the community.

What must the locals be thinking?
