Mistaken Identity Murder in North Pattaya



PATTAYA: -- A 42 year old Hotel Electrician is thought to have been beaten to death due to a dispute between two Motorbike Taxi ranks in the same road with the aggressor believing the victim to be one of the taxi drivers who had made adverse comments about them.

On Saturday afternoon Police and rescue services were called to Soi Potisan in Naklua, in front of Soi 8, to deal with the alleged murder which resulted in the death of Khun Samlan, who would often sit and speak with the motorbike taxi drivers stationed at the location before he returned home after work.

A well-known gangster figure from Soi Potisan known only as Mr. Oot, who works at a Taxi Rank nearby approached Khun Samlan on Saturday afternoon and accused him of making the adverse comments. Khun Samlan remained silent during the altercation which culminated in Mr. Oot repeatedly punching Khun Samlan in the face until he fell to the floor where the vicious beating continued until he died. 8 other men accompanied Mr. Oot but did not involve themselves in the altercation according to witnesses.

I think that the person that invented the term gormless did it after a trip to Thailand

[deecee10]

Land of Smiles.

[blackman]

sorry the guy lost his life but if you fly with crows is very likely you will be shot down with them

[allan michaud]

Given all the information on this guy he should be easy to find?

Sadly this is now an all too typical story from Thailand.

Hub of brutal and viscous murders.

[Baerboxer]

sorry the guy lost his life but if you fly with crows is very likely you will be shot down with them

So you think it's ok to kill somebody because that person was talking to people you don't like or have some grudge against.

What a sad outlook on life.

[monkeycountry]

Hopefully this tragic death will teach others to distance themselves from taxi drivers - it seems bad things happen around taxi drivers all the time, and usually the taxi drivers themselves are the ones causing the trouble.

That was not really what blackman said now was it?

He simply stated that if you hang out with the wrong crowd, you are likely to get into trouble. A basic rule of life most mums teach their kids.

i think you are sad reading that wholesale misinterpretation into my comment

monkeycountry was right when he said:

''That was not really what blackman said now was it?

And if they are referring to "motosai" taxi drivers in Pattaya, most tend to be fairly well inebriated by mid-afternoon.

I think it's more than just a sad outlook on life. For feeling no compassion, Karma would suggest that the next person murdered for doing nothing more than talking to a friend, or perhaps just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, might well be your own. So try thinking about what you say before you say it. Marcus Aurelius once said (and I paraphrase), "tis better to sit quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

i suggest you take another look at my comment

try to understand its meaning not alter it, misinterpret it or paraphrase it like baerboxer and then take your own advise:

"tis better to sit quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

although it was not Marcus Aurelius who said it but Mark Twain and this was the quote:

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

"What a sad outlook on life."

Most of the posts before yours suggest that many of us are flying with a sad flock of farang crows here at TV.

If anyone thinks that brutal thuggery only occurs in Thailand or that it's typical behavior amongst the 67 million Thai people or that chatting with motorcycle taxi drivers means you're cavorting with the underworld is living in a bubble of delusional prejudice ... or maybe they're just scared silly by the big, bad Thai motorcy taxi drivers.

Damn , That's Heavy Bro ...

[Woody1]

Indeed, brain dead morons. Thai men just can't resolve a problem in a (civilized) manner without having to beat someone's brains out.

Unfortunately I don't see this mentality ever changing. A shame, another innocent person looses their life because one of these cretins can't handle a few words, and thinks he's lost big face!!!

[mayday49]

Heckle and Jeckel are laughing at some of these poison Heads ....drinks are on Me ... ....Go Blackman ... I get it !

[Rimmer]

Please stop the pointless bickering!

[mancub]

' A well known gangster figure who works at a taxi rank " !!!!

Well, he'll most likely get off any charges on the grounds that, as he murdered the wrong man....it wasn't intentional !!!

[wwex]

if someone is a well known gangster figure why are they not in jail?

[mdmayes]

I dont think this has nothing to do with flying crows or mamas child hood lessons, etc. etc. Its about being in the wrong place at the wrong time...in other words...fate.

When your times up it up.

Cheers to the poor fellow who died...RIP.

[Joe Mamma]

Arrest and prosecute the criminal and his accomplices. They are all conspirators of murder.

[Wavefloater]

"8 other men accompanied Mr. Oot but did not involve themselves in the altercation according to witnesses"

Bullsh*t !!!!!

I'm convinced that there hasn't been a Thai man in the history of their culture who has even fought his own battle. At least 5 or 6 on 1 is the norm here. And as if anybody is going to come forward as a witness when vicious thugs are involved. These is clearly no protection offered to possible witnesses with this joke of a Thai justice system. Cripes, they release violent murders on bail with a pittance of a bond put up.

Up until a couple of days ago, I would have agreed with you, but then I read an article on TV - see link below. I do believe that is the only time I have ever heard of a "fair" fight in LOS though.

Have they arrested Vorayuth Yoovidhaya yet?

​This is a country that lets a convicted criminal out waiting an appeal against his sentence and his wife who is facing serious charges leave the country for a trip to the olympic games in China and wonders why they do not return?

Closer to home there is Somchai Khunpluem, AKA "Godfather of Chonburi" need I say any more, what a fiasco.

in reality the alleged offender in this murder is a nobody who will just keep his head down for a few weeks until all is forgotten, easier for the the local constabulary just to do the occasional round up down Walking St or "Coconut Bar" of petty criminals.

Just how long before Pattaya is renamed "Keystone"...

No! I do not think blackman thinks this, but I'll go you one better, and suggest you focus your attention on Mr. Oot!

Mr. Oot thinks it is ok, and that appears to have a greater, negative impact on society's ills than blackman's comment.

The fight is in the ring, and you are sitting in the back row throwing pop corn at the back of people's heads.
