Norwegian Fisherman assaulted and robbed in South Pattaya, 2 arrested



PATTAYA: -- A 20-year-old Norwegian Fisherman was assaulted and allegedly robbed of valuables during an altercation involving his Thai Wife in South Pattaya, which saw the arrest of two Security Guards from a Thai Pub who claim the so-called victim was armed and preparing to stab the guards who assaulted the Norwegian in “self-defense”.

The case began as Mr. Stian Vebenstad and his wife, Khun Naphatsawan aged 28, were seen fighting at the Manchester Beer Bar located at Action Street in Soi Buakhao, early on Tuesday Morning. Mr. Vebenstad was seen to be armed with a knife which he later claimed he produced to scare his wife and stop her fighting with him.

As the feuding couple jumped on a Baht Bus, Mr. Vebenstad was seen by the Guards at the Pub, to hit the Baht Bus hard and the Norwegian was seen shouting at the driver who was asked to confirm the price of their trip.

1) The guy raised his voice at his Thai wife = loss of face.

2) Raised his voice at a Thai baht bus driver and demanded a fair price upfront = loss of face.

3) Scared 2 Thai security guards making them run away = loss of face.

There was only going to be one outcome!!!

The number 13 ink on his chest is significant as well as symbolistic. Learn how to behave in Thailand, don't play with drugs, wipe yourself out with booze or lock horns with the mafia. The end result is grievous bodily harm if not death; when will westerners work out the general population 'here' are fairly ignorant, belligerent as well as narcissistic (how often do you see Thais looking at themselves in the mirror of the motorbike)? Facts of 'The land of smiles' make sure you go home - or be up to the task of playing hard ball with the mafia (there are few).

[Gsxrnz]

Trouble is, many wooden tops just don't know when they've had enough.........and then the wiking (sic) comes out in them.

He probably thought he was Hagar the Horrible.

[Orac]

Dif she hit him with a tin of paint?

[slapout]

If I were the type to do such things I would take a life insurance policy out on this 20 year old, pay yearly premium and probably get a payout within a few short years.

[Basil B]

Needs a knife to defend himself from his wife???

If that the case he should get a devoice and steer well clear of her,

If he said that then we can assume he had a knife and did draw it... such actions in the UK would get him jail time or sent of to the nut house.

[trogers]

Looks like a model Norwegian citizen to me...

[Sattphalat]

He probably doing fine when he realized that the only ting to do is open his wallet and smile.

Fishermen normally spend enough money to secure several villages in Isan for years on the money they are using on one trip to Thailand.

I think he is exactly the quality tourists Thailand want.

[OMGImInPattaya]

That's a nasty looking pair...the sooner Thailand sees the back of him the better.

All my notions of Norwegians have be disabused...and what's with the number "13"? Is that the mark of the beast in Norway?

Think I'll buy stock in a tattoo ink company as well as Sharpie (eyebrows).

I admit....i am a header reader, the fastest way to get through my daily dose of (misery) reding, be it not in Thailand, where i frequenty dig in the story only to realize that i ask myself why am i reading this (shit).

There are so many thing that really are amazing in Thailand...seriously

[Jingthing]

What does hitting the bus mean exactly?

I ride our lovely baht buses all the time and I've never witnessed anyone, nor have I ever felt tempted myself, to HIT THE BUS.

Would it not hurt your HAND more than the bus?

[Just1Voice]

This guy has "Quality Tourist" tattooed all over himself....ahhh.....somewhere.

[JHolmesJr]

At long last, some action on Action Street.

[cornishcarlos]

Why does it matter if he's a fisherman ? Seriously, who cares if he's a fisherman or a banker !

Makes his case even more FISHY is all.

I agree, it's bizarre to mention.

It suggests you're about to read a story on a BOAT or fish market, rather than a standard bar / baht bus combo!

Anyway, I guess that makes his Thai lady his FISHWIFE?

[Living in a cartoon]

My, what a nice looking couple. They seem well-suited to each other. It's just a rough spot in their relationship, I hope they work it out and have many children in a loving family.

Best wishes to Mr. Stian Vebenstad and his wife, Khun Naphatsawan!
