Woman executed on Pattaya Beach in front of well-known Hotel

[bitcoinbob]

Detroit is suppose to be bad , people know bad things happen there. Thailand is sold as a safe place ,low to no crime that is the difference. false sense of safety for the unaware, very bad

[Rimmer]

Enough of the grammar and dictionary definition police, more of the same will be removed without notice.

[penwithcris]

It doesn't seem to matter what the topic, the use of language always appears to supersede the subject matter.

In this case the emphasis quickly moved away from the unfortunate death of a young girl to an argument about vocabulary and spelling

Perish the thought that posters on TV were to physically meet, but I can imagine that the outcome would be worse than any confrontation between PheuThai and the Democrats

Such animosity, such vitriol.

Calm down. It's only a game

I'd be interested to see an example of Pattaya being sold as a safe "no crime" destination!

Perhaps.... PATTAYA, the Murder Hub of Thailand!!!!

Still say that if God gives The World an Enema, He/She will stick the tube into Pattaya.

No, no, no the beach is already shitty enough.

Actually for the type of place Pattaya is supposed to be - I don't find it that bad. You cut your odds of getting into trouble by staying half sober, coming home before 2:00am and not bad mouthing people, especially LB's and avoid any pick ups on Beach Rd. During the daytime I've never seen any trouble.

What is happening in this country ??

Thank heaven for Buddhism. Otherwise, it would be non-stop, total carnage in Thailand. Read the Thai, pre-Buddhist historical facts for yourself

[DD13]

Just an observation

On some topics........such as this..... the "Like" tick box can be inappropriate....

maybe it would be better changed to an "Agree" tick box....

All the same

RIP young lady....

I sincerely hope that this piece of "low life" gets his just desserts

Why "executed" vs. murdered?

Domestic dispute fatalities, and it happens all over the world that women are in real danger from their partners- tend to happen in the home in the heat of an argument and usually involve severe beatings and usually prior incidents.

I think having a masked gunman shoot someone gangland style, 3 bullets to the head, can certainly be called an execution.

Since we have absolutely no information on the impetus for this homicide, IMO, generally in Thailand people get offed over money in this manner.

BELIEVE that he will get his just desserts. "What goes around, comes around" is the

fundamental "Karmic" principle of Buddhism

Hey Native - any chance of a reading list?

The whole world is getting more dangerous year after year.

What a dreadful loss.

The senseless termination of a young life.

My condolences to her family and friends.

I hope and pray that the scum who killed her will be brought to justice, and have forever in a stinking jail cell to regret his crime.

FAR to many iilegal weapons on thai soil.

Looks like the Drug Free Village signs should be replaced with Loaded Gun Village signs

Shoud that is, only there are no Drug Free villages signs to be found anymore.

A triple tap to the head of someone on their way to work sure seems like an execution by the mafia.

Being shot at home by a drunk jealous boyfriend would be a more normal death for a crime of passion.

Will be curious if this case will ever be solved.

Read the uk papers RIP young lady.

They'll find him and he's gonna do 25 to life! Was it really worth it??? How can one be so stupid?!

R.I.P. to the victim!

[RickBradford]

The main suspect is said by the Thai press to be a Chinese male, a tour guide, aged about 30, who had broken up with the victim the day before after a loud argument heard by witnesses, the subject of the row, as noted, being the male attention the woman was receiving on Facebook.

They have a name (or at least nickname) of the person they suspect.

"Executed"??? Call it "murder" <deleted>....

Who writes this drivel?

May she rest in peace...

Well, considering this is Thailand, and those words are in fact interchangeable in this context, even to a native speaker; perhaps you could also regale us with your vocabulary critique of the Thai language version of this story.

As such an erudite exemplification of your native language perhaps you should really know that the words, even here, are not interchangeable, even in this context, and yet you seek to educate others.

Could you explain the mystifying phrase 'vocabulary critique'? Are you really sure the word 'regale' is correct in this context?

O, to be such a self-assured person as yourself. We honour you for your self-worth.

1. I am not the one claiming verbal superiority to anyone, so this is a strawman argument.

2. Homicide > Murder > Execution.

In common vernacular, "execution" refers to a style of violence, rather than the carrying out of an official sentence. That they are interchangeable in this context isn't even controversial. This doesn't even take into account my original point that the definitions are so similar that a non-native speaker shuld be forgiven for confusing them

3. Regale: verb: entertain or amuse (someone) with talk.

I would find it very entertaining to hear one of these grammar police take a break from tearing down second-language columnists to take a crack at Thai language. And yes, it is the correct word in this context. Thank you for pointing it out.

By my count, you wrong on every point.

This first lesson's on me, champ.

Your welcome.

Please elaborate. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about and zero knowledge of the Thai words which could be used in this context.

I never claimed to. That was pointless statement.

But if you would like me to slowly explain my point, it is this:

People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

What is the point of harshly critiquing a non-native speaker when they are doing you the favor of writing in your language because you haven't bothered to learn theirs, despite living in their country.

Is there anythign else you would like explained for you?

Have they caught the suspect yet?

Life is not very important in Asia. You have an argument and the next day you end up dead. I read so many stories like this in countries like China, Thailand, and Phillippines. I will never understand it.

You are missing South and Central America in your list. Actually Africa doesn't do much better. To be fair, it happens in North america and Europe too.

Anyway, what is really missing here is any news of an arrest or a warrant.
