“Samurai Sword” attack at Pub near Walking Street, South Pattaya

PATTAYA:--In the early hours of Thursday, Police and rescue services were called to the Melody Pub located in Soi 16 off Walking Street to investigate reports of a “Samurai Sword” attack on a 24 year old man.

At the scene was Khun Pongrapee who had sustained serious lacerations to his left hand. He had lost a considerable amount of blood and collapsed moments after Police arrived.

A friend revealed to Police that he had gone to the Pub with a female companion known as “Ying”, who was in a relationship with another man. Her boyfriend arrived at the Pub with 4 others friends and confronted Khun Pongrapee who was dragged outside and attacked with the sword by the jealous boyfriend.

How can you attck someone with a samurai sword and only "lacerate" their hand.................... is this the same as them shooting at someone multiple times yet only grazing their arm ?

I hate to say it but some of the locals really are useless.

This is Thailand where men are not noted for their bravery.

[Regyai]

Plus that 100 baht P.O.S. is in no way a 'Samurai Sword'

[Wavefloater]

Shouldn't it have been the girlfriend who was the focus of his rage? It seems to me that she had an obligation to say something like, "No thanks. I already have a boyfriend."

These people seriously need to get some help with logic and handling emotions. These types of incidences seem to be happening with more and more frequency. Is that a sign that Thai society is generally crumbling -- people growing more frustrated and discontent?

Hmmm.

Actually cut by nife like this long one, is not easy than your imagination as movie something.

Human body have strong parts like bone and anothers. Just trying to cut some chicken leg by samurai swoord.

Don`t forget fresh one , not deep fried

Why do they always attack the guy instead of the damn woman who is the cause of all the trouble !? I wonder if he even knew she was cheating on someone else...?

It's pretty simple, stay away from other people's girlfriends!!!

Or even stay away from Pattaya.

that's one of the reasons for the amount of katoys

Yes, that's what I basically said in my post.

He should have walked up to the couple and congratulated his girlfriend's date for choosing what (he now realizes) appears to be a slut. Then inform the guy that her commitment to people is garbage. Tell the date that he's welcome to her because she's not one to be trusted. I think she might lose a bit of face in that situation, and he's punished the right person in much more mature and civilized manner.

....whose word is it......is she free to change her mind....or does he own her......

[quiuvo]

Sometimes it is ok for the man to have Mia nois but not for the lady to have pua nois. If the injured man knew about the boyfriend he should not have played with fire. Lucky he didn't get hurt that much but maybe he did if he was bleeding profusely.

Do you mean: stay away from all Thai girls in bars and entertainment clubs since they all have a thai boyfriend?

That's not fair, it takes serious balls to be a katoy!

Nonsense, it was not an unprovoked attack have nothing to do with Pattaya, happens all over Thailand.

I don't understand why the attacker just ends the relation ship with his GF, I would if my wife did that, once a butterfly always a butterfly.

[Emdog]

All those nasty weapons are available for purchase just up Beach Road, including brass knuckles, assault knives, etc. Very handy for those who are working up some rage. Do the vendors and police assume people are going to put those over their non-existent mantels?

An awful lot more of these incidents happen outside Pattaya than in the city.

Ok, I'll bite. How can you tell if a Thai woman has a BF? They really don't have a track record for honesty, especially in Patters.

Its in direct proportion to the lacerations to your hands

apparently

[NRGF]

Jealousy, such a stupid emotion, if she's willing to leave you for someone else she's no good to you anyway so just kick her arse out and get on with your life.

[MegaRanter]

Some replies are just classics. LMAO.

[A1Str8]

I tend to think that until somebody learns how to solve problems like a man..am referring to a one on one, instead of the typical at least five against one, which is

girly..one should not act up but stay quiet.

[Zumteufel]

It's pretty simple, stay away from other people's girlfriends!!!

Or even stay away from Pattaya.

Or from any other place where violence or trouble is mentioned in the media.

Hint: Cave yourself in in a closet with a blanket over your head.

Don't be silly. A real Katana the sword as used by Japanese Samurai is designed to cut to and then penetrate the bone.

This is a cheap shit Thai copy (look at the blade) and probably about as sharp as a sausage and being used like a bludgeon by the attacker.

[Bodrules]

As usual details are scant as to the actual background of the story, for all we know the gf in this case could have broken up with lover boy #1, and he wasn't willing to let go, Still you'd think, plenty more fish in the sea, why risk prison (as it'll be unlikely he has friends in low or high places to get him off the charges) over it? Perhaps if you go out with a girl in Pattaya you'd better get a PI to make sure she ain't got any nutty ex's knocking around.

My services are available for a reasonable fee, if I'm wrong, ah well I'll live and learn, you might not though

[Ohio]

Lot of 'cutting' remarks here. Where's the 'Pointer' Rim ??

Reality is that this happens all over the place , but at the end of the day edged weapons are available freely so obviously someone who shouldn't have them will get them & use them.

At least no one died THIS TIME
