These things happen at any Seaside Towns. Just more often in Pattaya.

Stabbing someone for a "rather" petty theft is pure madness how one knows it will not end in a mortal blow?

Do you think that they really care?

[WhizBang]

Why would someone be carrying 60,000 baht of gold, and at night? And in Pattaya?

Was he wearing it? Rather foolish.

Or did he have it concealed? If so,. it sounds like he was setup. 4 attackers, sure sounds like someone set him up.

Scavenging drug money.

Could so easily been a fatal stabbing.

I am missing something? Why does it sound like he's been set up? Go anywhere in the world and you will find gangs who are out looking for easy pickings, you've been watching too many movies.
