Rimmer Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Angry Australian Sets 3 Motorbikes On Fire KOH CHANG:--An Australian tourist who was so angry that his motorbike was using too much petrol set fire to it causing damage to two other bikes after the renter would not refund him. The incident happened on Koh Chang island. TRAD – December 14, 2013 [PDN]; at 12.45 p.m. Pol. Capt. Banjerd Krajangsaeng (Investigation officer of Koh Chang police station, Trad province) was notified that there was a crazed foreign tourist walking around carrying a knife waving it at other tourists in front of Chai Car Rental shop, Baan Kai Bae, Moo 4 Tambon Koh Chang, Amphur Koh Chang, Trad province, so he rushed to inspect with the police team together with Pol. Col. Phaithoon Sawaengsak (Deputy Superintendent, acted for the superintendent of Koh Chang police station), Pol. Lt. Chawin Matthayamanan (Inspector of Koh Chang police station), the volunteers of Boon Chuay Luea Rescue Association of Trad province and some tourism police. At the incident the officers found a crazed foreign tourist who was carrying a fruit knife approximately 8 inches in length in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand. He was walking around waving the knife and the hammer on the road amongst the tourists who were running away chaotically. The crazed man was bleeding from his head. The police tried to talk with him for more than 1 hour in order to calm him down and to put the weapon on the ground but they failed, therefore the police decided to charge him until they could detain him finally.

PapaNasty Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Full article looks interesting. Sounds like the Aussie was angry and wanted a discount, then the Thai guy whacked him so he sustained a head injury. Aussie guy got even more angry so blew up the motorcycle.

Popular Post Torrens54 Posted December 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2013 Absolute idiot, throw him in jail till he gets the money to make restitution. Don't let him go back to Australia because the bike shop will get zippo if that happens. A good spell in a Thai Jail may make him think twice before he does anything stupid again. If it happened in Singapore, they wouldn't stuff around, he'd be in the Brig and probably get a taste of the Rattan Cane as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I wonder if this is the same Kent Farrar from Morwell, Victoria. The age is about right and if it is I have had some dealings with him in the past, on a professional basis of course. A bit of a loose cannon who has priors for serious assaults. Could be a small world if it is him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bangkokpoppys Posted December 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2013 How prejudiced you all are. There is a simple and logical explanation for all of this: Mr Farrar was first leaning over to see how much fuel was left in his motorbike, then decided that the smell was nice and had a sniff. Unfortunately for him, the incoming vapours were set on fire by his lit cigarette still in his mouth, which then started the fire and as he withdrew from the flames, the bike fell over and set fire to the other two. Then, deciding that the smell of fuel was no longer delicious, he was frantically searching for a durian to cleans his palette crisply, hence the frantic waving of the fruit knife. The police officers charged at him because they also wanted Durian. All is not what it seems…! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a small world if it is him they sure do breed them tough in that neck of the woods down Morwell way, the cultural center of Victoria, he might even be a mountain man from the snowy region, but he must have figured that he could do that as he often did this sort of thing after the local football match on a saturday, if your team was beaten go around burning the cars of the other team, now thats what i call tough - where men are men and women eat their young and the crows fly backwards to keep the sand out of their eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
