PHUKET: -- A man humiliated by a slap on the head in front of a group of people stabbed his assailant four times, sending him to the hospital.

The event transpired after an evening of drinking at a Burmese workers’ camp behind Phuket Simon Cabaret in Patong (map here).

After work yesterday evening, a 30-year-old man known as “Rambo” got together to drink with his friends, said Patong Police Deputy Superintendent Nikorn Choothong.

Hours later, when they were all drunk, a co-worker named Nai, 32, walked by.

“Rambo aggressively ordered him to buy them some lao khao [rice whisky],” said Lt Col Nikorn.

“When Mr Nai refused, Rambo humiliated him by slapping him on the head in front of his friends and co-workers,” he said.

“Mr Nai walked away but came back a few minutes later with a pocket knife and stabbed Rambo – twice in the shoulder, once in the hand, and once in the stomach,” he said.

Rambo was taken to Patong Hospital. Mr Nai fled the scene and is still at large.

At last report, Rambo had been transferred to the better-quipped Vachira Phuket Hospital in Phuket Town, where he is still recovering from his injuries.

sounds like it could,nt have happened to a nicer person

Burmese attempts murder after losing face from a slap. Sure he wasn't Thai?

Another one for Vachira Phuket Hospital to complain about for not paying his bill.

We have knife wielding Rambo and Pitbull here on Phuket. Who else is living here I should be aware of?

Sounds like another quality guy living in paradise.

You Sir , Are an Idiot .

Has anyone noticed in the photo how the "doctor" is helping Rambo feel at home? I thought nurses were trained for this!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

The guy's somebody's son, probably someone's brother, maybe someone's husband and father.

Nurse: 'What's up Doc?'

So the Burmese can be just as bats#$% crazy as the Thais. As long as they keep it among themselves and leave the tourists alone...

And you, Sir, apparently do not understand dry humor or sarcastic wit.

Normally not but living in phucket for a while i guess the thai traits will rub off on them.

Sarcasm : the ability to insult idiots WITHOUT them realizing it.

I think the accurate characterization is that one drunk can be as batcrap crazy as another.

Seems I was just reading about a white colored drunk stealing a knife from a 7-11 to come back and stab another white colored guy.

Not a Thai or Burmese in the equation.

Story did have at least one drunk, though.

Need a good sense of humour to survive in Thailand!

Note: Do not slap anyone in the head. Especially while in Phuket

Whoa...Big news!!

Whoa...Big news!!

Just another stabbing on Phuket. You get desensitised to it after a while here.

I wonder if these Burmese workers will now be compelled to have insurance when they come into the come across the border as they are proposing for farangs. Will this incident go on the statistics of a falang being treated in hospital without insurance and at a huge cost to the health system?. Of course I'm making an assumption that Rambo was not insured.

Good. And I hope he walks.
A man deserves respect.

With a name like Rambo I would imagine the bloke would have a few scars he could show people ... what a blood idiot.

In any culture you don't slap people in the head when you don't get your own way ..... som nom na ...

These guys are always at it, I used to live very close to this camp & every weekend after the salary is paid you can hear them going at it

Why is this news? Similar incidents happen amongst drunk Thais and Burmese alike on a daily basis all over Thailand... Both ethnics are equally violent and short-fused when alcohol comes into play...

At the end of the day, it appears like Rambo got what he was asking for.

It appears "Rambo" must learn some manners if he wishes to survive the camp. Hope he does not plan retribution for the sequel. But hey, what happens in the camp stays in the camp.........................................

Who authorises the ridiculous headlines we see on TV?

Cant say ive slapped or stabbed anybody. A bucket of ice cold water would of been suffice..

Im still waiting for all the "a guy was smoking pot with his friends when an argument broke out and the other guy got stabbed.."

Said no news paper ever..

Alcohol, proudly fueling homicidal maniacs since ?

"Similar incidents happen amongst drunk Thais and Burmese alike". Did you forget the expat westerners? From what I read on TV about Phuket and Pattaya many of them act the same when drunk!
