rooster59 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Tourists shocked as man, 22, stabbed in Sukhumvit Soi 1 after stepping on someone's foot Image: Sanook BANGKOK:-- Tourists were left shaken after a stabbing that occurred near the end of Sukhumvit Soi 1 yesterday. Lumpini police are looking for several Thai men involved in the stabbing of a 22 year old named as Baris. Relatives said that Baris had no job and liked to hang around the Soi 1 area. They said that he had had an argument with a man who sold phone chargers in the soi. Two men had passed each other with one treading on the foot of the other. The result was that the 22 year old was stabbed twice in the stomach and ended up in Chulalongkorn hospital. A large group of tourists saw the incident. Police have studied CCTV and are looking for two or three suspects. Source: Sanook -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2016-08-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope none of the tourists videoed it and put it on social media as part of their holiday memories. As they have been for many years and as I expect them to be when the country gains so much from tourism. Is that any reason to suggest that tourists who witness unsavoury events are placed under pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the authorities don't threat to prosecute anyone who posts a video etc they don't like ? Anyway I did post with tongue in cheek which seems beyond you to understand so it must be difficult being a hugger as you've so much to defend and humour is banned too unless you approve perhaps ?

But everything to do with the Thai bashing reaction here on TVF. The vast majority of violence in Thailand is perpetrated by Thais. As you'd expect. That doesn't mean the vast majority of Thais are violent people. Lots of posters here don't seem to be able to differentiate the two statements.

Confuscious Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Ahhhhhhhh The "happy Thai people" according to the Junta propaganda. Thailand looks how longer ho more to their soap series.

hansnl Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What has the government of the day to do about the short fuses of so many people. Many can be very friendly but change into thoughtless cretins within a very short time. Most certainly not helped by the unbelievable "face" thing. And a lack of honour.

We all know that the automatic Thai smile isn't genuine, but it mostly becomes genuine when people are friendly back. Yes, there are a few nutters about that will attack for the smallest reason - but they are a tiny minority that we have to be unlucky to come across.

sahibji Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 a very serious reaction to an apparently minor incident of stepping on foot. unless of course there was a lot going on underneath the surface and this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Land Of Stabbings Pure horse shit I've personally seen this kind of shit happen in London. It happens in Paris, Chicago, Los Angeles and many other cities around the world It's certainly not exclusive to Thailand.

If not actually prosecuted then authorities wanting to interview visitors because they posted vids not to authorities' liking. Sorry cannot quote instances but I am sure I am right.

Yes, there are a few nutters about that will attack for the smallest reason - but they are a tiny minority that we have to be unlucky to come across. The automatic smile is a front / a mask in every culture. Culture by culture the level of genuineness / sincerity is different. In some cultures it's extremely thin. I worked for 2 years in an Asian culture which displays extreme bowing and politeness at first meeting but quickly the real culture is displayed including clean out of your office, desk, cupboards never seen again, plus total refusal to attend meetings, total refusal to cooperate, and more.
