Popular Post Payboy Posted July 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2013 Police believe the attack was aimed only at Sarawuts since his assailant's weapon was new and still had a price attached to it. Could the motive for this criminal act be maniac-like driving? Just asking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unanimosity Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yep, that's an axe. May be an axe to a city boy in Australia, but in the rest of the world it is a hatchet. The photo in post #8 is an axe, the difference being that an axe is made to be used with two hands whereas a hatchet is made to be used with one hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrain5000 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Didn't the driver notice someone boarding the bus with an axe? Seems like it would be quite difficult to conceal in one's pocket. These assaults seem to be more and more frequent these days. It's a good thing I prefer driving myself and don't take busses or taxis anymore! All busses should require quality dash-cams and taxis should be required to have one too. This would help reducing these horrible acts since people are less likely to commit crimes and assaults when they know they're being watched.

mikemac Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Actually, it looks more like a blocksplitter to me. Reminds me of a previous life when I had a10 acre "prickle farm" in south east QLD, on the Sunshine Coast.Used one of those things to split blocks of wood for my wood stove. They were the good ol' days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maapaa Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Machete wielding taxi driver animals on Sukhumvit should be top priority. Why? Because a foreigner got involved? More important than a Thai bus driver attacked with an axe? NO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KuhnPaen Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I carry a "tactical tomahawk" in my car--ostensibly for camping purposes. There's just way more intimidation factor to an axe vs. other things like machetes (there's one of those in my trunk). When I am asked why I carry it, I just say "zombie outbreak", and that is often enough to stop the questions. Wasn't that a Pink Floyd song?
