Two Irish Men Went on Rampage, Stab Two People in Pattaya

Picture from PattayaDailyNews.com

PATTAYA: -- Two Irish men went on a drunken rampage early this morning, stabbing and injuring a total of 4 people. The claimed they were forced to defend themselves after they were attacked by local motorcycle taxi drivers in Pattaya.

At 4.30AM this morning, the Pattaya Police received a report of a public disturbance involving 2 foreign nationals in front of Boom Boom Beer Bar on Pattaya New Plaza Road in Banglamung, Chon Buri Province.

When police officers arrived at the scene, they found a security guard lying on the floor in front of the bar. The guard, Yongyuth Yaiying, 23 years old, sustained a serious injury from being stabbed once on his upper left thigh. He was immediately rushed to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital for treatment. Another victim, 41 year old motorcycle taxi driver Phromma Traisawan, was also stabbed in his torso and neck. He had already been transported to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital by the time the police arrived at the crime scene.

Witnesses at the bar told the police that the 2 men responsible for the stabbing had already fled the scene on a motorcycle. The bar owner identified one of the suspects as Darren Philip Delaney. According to the bar owner, Delaney, 40 years old, had paid for sexual services of 2 bar girls. However, the girls returned to the bar a short time later claiming they feared for their safety once they arrived at Delaney's house, seeing how intoxicated he and his friend, 40-year old Irish national, Thomas Plunkett were.

According to the bar owner, Delaney who seemed badly intoxicated, followed the girl back to the bar and angrily demanded his money back. The bar owner quickly complied to Delaney's request but that did not calm him down. He attacked 2 bar patrons and a handful of motorcycle taxi drivers who tried to restrain him.

Delaney then fled the scene on a motorcycle. The bar owner immediately shut down the bar and accompanied the two patrons to the hospital and filed a police report against Delaney.

Later that night, Delaney, accompanied by his friend, Thomas Plunkett, came back and began to attack the motorcycle taxi drivers and security guards in front of the bar. Witnesses told the police that Plunkett was responsible for stabbing the 2 victims.

Plunkett and Delaney later fled the scene once again.

The police rushed to the place of residence of the two suspects at a house in the South Pattaya area. The two suspects were reportedly badly intoxicated and attempted to resist arrest. The police, however, were unable to recover the knife that was used to stab both the security guard and the motorcycle taxi driver.

Both Delaney and Plunkett claimed they acted out of self-defence after they were attacked by the security guard and the motorcycle taxi drivers. The two are now being interrogated and detained by the Pattaya Police.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some people don't like being picked on by a mob and will retaliate. It's quite telling that there are four victims here and only two suspects.

It seems to me like the usual situation where a mob attacked a couple of people but this time the mob lost the brawl.

Yes maybe, but using knifes is not very smart, the 2 Irish guys are in deep deep shit now.

They went back to the bar armed. They are <snip>...

I sooooo want this to happen to the jet ski scammers. +1 anyone?

...maybe they were not the only 2 using blades.....

[marioc]

Sooner , or later, the taxi dudes will encounter some street fighting farangs when they do not have 10 freinds to back them up. Looks like it just happened. After what happened to the Estonian lads in 2008--one dead, two others injured--I have little sympathy for the little bullies. https://www.google.c...iw=1280&bih=626

.....I completely agree.....probably they are not such a "gentle" men....but I also feel little sympathy for them.

[thaiIand]

no matter how stupid and bad the stabbing by the irishmen were... those thugs had it coming. Its just karma's way of punishing the evil thais

[conimex]

No foreign witnesses ?

A MAZ ING ... Thai Visa wins the "you simply must be kidding award" yet again.

Two drunks got in a fight, even after getting a refund... returned to the scene, armed...stabbed a few people....

wait for it .....

It is the Thai's fault!

P R I C E L E S S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[norrona]

we all know that whatever weapons were at hand would definetely be brandished and used by the somchais...foolish though to be fighting with them...to think that the girls who agreed to go back with the irish fella as intoxicated as he supposedly was and then have a change of heart when they got there is what caused this just makes my sig even more appropriate

That's right. Blame the 'Thai mob'

Read the story. The Irish returned to get their money back. The owner gave them their money. They weren't satisfied for some reason, caused more ruckus and assaulted two customers in the bar. Staff and motorcycle guys came to aid of bar owner. The Irish left. The bar was shut down and owner of bar takes two unidentified victims to hospital. The two farangs then returned to the bar and started the brawl with the 4 Thai guys who had probably forced them to leave after the money was refunded.

Why don't you read the facts before posting?

[Just1Voice]

Now, who in their right mind would EVER belive than an IRISHMAN would get drunk?

Oh, wait, what am I saying. I'm Irish!!

[belg]

funny how bar scene people give their full name and addrress to a bar owner...

[thelongshoot]

Most people will disagree with this but I am made up about it. Good for them. They face a world full os &lt;deleted&gt; owing to this but never the less, I am glad that finaly the boot is on the other foot for a change.

Im tired of hearing about ferangs beaten up by a mob of taxi drivers and i agree with an earlier poster that it was a question of time before a mob of thais turned on the wrong dudes. These guys obviously can have a row and refuse to back down and it sounds like they put it back on the original aggressors so, &lt;deleted&gt; it... fair play to them. I wish them both luck.

Yes...quite true...I wonder if one ever did get drunk, if brawling might be on the short list of "things to do..."

Noooooooooo. Not the Irish....

I have a simple explaination for that...the link didn't take me to the article and I couldn't see a link to the article on the main page so I just commented on the original post.

Edit : I don't believe for one minute the bar owner just handed over the money without some major problems.

By way of a digression, I pass on this second-hand tale that you might enjoy it as I did... I have little reason to believe it is entirely true, but no doubt others can vouch for its credibiity. I doubt I'm the only one amongst us to have heard it.

A fellow had gone to Jakarta for a job interview, and after the interview, he'd stopped in a bar for a few beers. The taxi on the way home diverted to a sidestreet for a bit of a mugging, and in the ensuing fracas, the taxi driver was stabbed, the candidate and several others hospitalised. From interviewing the other casualties, the police were able to trace the gang of villains. Following a fatal gunfight, one or more foreign kidnapped hostages were rescued.

So the candidate got back to HK (I think) and recounted this tale...

"So you'll not be taking the job then?"

"Sure and the way I see it, that sort of thing's only going to happen once, so why not?"

SC

I don't think the candidate was Irish, by the way, it just reads better with that accent.

[kingdratsab]

what is it with us brits......any trouble / fighting , I'm ashamed to say, 90% chance on us up to our necks in it......

I don't think these guys were nice people. I went the other day to an Irish pub near my home and I saw some young patrons becoming obnoxious and loud.

What if the situation would be reversed?

Suppose two Thai guys get drunk in a pub in Ireland and start to become nasty with the patrons and the girls....

You don't even know what really happened and are just assuming the Thais were at fault and are 'evil'. What karma is that? The Thais be out of the hospital in a few days and will be as good as new in weeks. The two idiots however will probably have a few years in jail with lots of 'evil' Thais to play wth them. Now THAT'S karma. And it's a real bitch.

To be sure. the Thai bar shouldn't have let them get so drunk....

I have absolutely no sympathy for them. I mean the local thugs.

Holy Mother of Christmas... i just looked at the photo. That dude can kick an entire platoon's back side. Now I see why his "date" ran back to the bar.

But he looks like such a gentle giant. Not the type of nice young Irish lad to mix it up.

Surely it is the fault of the Thai patrons, their friends and the (quite reasonable) bar owner.

Bad bad Thai people...Good, good Irish people. Why are the Thais always picking on us? BOO HOO.

[ThaiSold]

That's 1 for farang but still 5000 for the Thai's.

The facts were in the original post...

The girls came back because they were scared of the guys, then the guy came over to the bar to demand their money back. I would assume that he was pretty aggressive when making that demand, and the owner may have just decided to refund before this gets further out of control...

Most importantly is, that the guy came back with his friend to stab two more people, AFTER the bar owner had accompanied the first 2 that were injured to the hospital and filed a police report.

How can people believe they just defended themselves is beyond my comprehension from the information given.
