MrTee Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Good to see the locals "detained" these scumbags. I wish the victim a full and speedy recovery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya28 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Something tells me this incident will somehow be blamed on the Russian, with a minimal fine for the "slasher". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapfries Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Whichever way you slice it (no pun intended !), there is, of course, no excuse to settle any dispute with a knife. BTW: Remind myself never to go to that "Pattaya City Hospital" for emergency treatment, because by the looks of their "quick repair" it was obvious that no stitches were required, but they've obviously never heard of Butterfly-Plasters.

cumgranosalum Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Assault with a deadly weapon - car or knife, doesn't make a lot of difference....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 What does "he was cut up on a motorbike" mean? it means he was cut off, meaning someone pulled in front of him forcing him to take evasive action i.e. slam on the brakes or turn sharply to avoid collision.

English 1 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think it's a case of Russian arrogant Pride and Thai false Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atyclb Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 pattaya is a mecca of low lives. some thai, some non thai. imo the thais tried to claim damaged bike and try to get money from the tourists. once sitting in my car in the parking area of an upscale usa supermarket a car pulled into the spot next to me. then the guy inside the car started telling me my car damaged his car LOL quickly realized the elevator wasnt reaching the top floor, perhaps alcohol, or drugs or both. i asked him if he wants money for the damages and he said yes. next i told him i will summon the police so they can provide an official report for the claim as to maximize the payment. at that point he changed his mind about pursuing it further. me thinks he might already be a member of the police frequent flyer program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The Russian guy already has extensive scars on his right arm and bicep. He has lived an eventful life. Someone should warn him about the dangers of wearing gold chains around here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 So, he wasn't stabbed as the headline reports, he was slashed/gashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menzies233 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 "Viciously Stabbed" as opposed to what "Politely Stabbed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKT Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Very entertaining, I think it is obvious; he was on a motorbike and cut off so he was cut up. Its a Pattaya no brainer. Even better day now thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandLOS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 What does "he was cut up on a motorbike" mean? Was wondering about that one too. Cut with a knife while seated on a motor bike? Would upset anyone I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The butterfly clips or stitches are under the bandage stupid (if needed). The fact that the guy drew a knife & used it is enough for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I see the news reporting here has drastically improved. In fact, reports of tonight's incidents are already out!!! Dear God, how can the guy have been stabbed in the early hours of Wednesday when it's now Tuesday afternoon??? Makes you wonder about the accuracy of the rest of the drivel printed.

Miami Bob Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) What does "he was cut up on a motorbike" mean? I think that means what Americans would call " cut off " . "Cut up" I think is British or maybe Australian English. In other words, the Thai's motorbike was "cut off" / "ran off " / "pushed off " the road. That's what got the Thai so unset. Speedy recover to the victim. Edited March 15, 2016 by Miami Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbb Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Agree that I'm so happy they caught someone - With locals stepping in to help. This crap ruins Pattaya. Really wanted to note that Pattaya City Hospital served me well this past week. My wife and I were there for a few days running looking after some stitches. With one exception, the people were really very nice. And more importantly, the treatments were not rushed and handled well. Yes, it was crowded and sometimes we waited. But the aircon worked, it was relatively clean, and generally well organized. If this was the USA, I'd still be waiting for an appointment.

GAZZPA Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I see we have taken sides already..........be interesting to see how this pans out; it has all the right ingredients, Russians, driving in Thailand, Thai people's temperament, the health industry and the RTP....a perfect topic! Yes, taken the side of the law. The Thai guy slashed the Russian guy across the stomach, what more needs to be said. Local onlookers detained the person they saw as the guilty party until the police arrived. What do you expect people to think? The Thai guy is guilty of course, the Russian guy is the victim. It doesn't matter what the argument was about, all bets are off when the Thai guy pulled a knife and attacked the Russian, assault with intent. A few years behind bars seems appropriate.
