total scum 6 against 1, about the norm, and what for,? a mobile phone, they just never think about the consequences, oh, i forgot there won't be any, western eyes will never get accustomed by where you can kill someone, say "sorry" and the the law says,"ok don't do it again," thai justice system is an ass.

Utter, utter scum. So i wonder what the punishment for killing a Burmese guy is then?

 

And obviously no premeditation for violence despite turning up in vastly superior numbers with weapons.

 

The outcome will no doubt be pathetic. But still we'll never know as murders like this are all too frequent and never chased up by lazy journalists.

 

RIP the man who lost his life so horribly

From the article : 

A 19-year-old man named Cham was arrested at the Morakot Hotel where he was hiding. A 19-year-old Burmese man named Wun was arrested in San Phee Sua.

 

So the attackers were also Burmese and they probably knew the victim .  

 

Just want to make it clear before the Thai bashing starts here.

life is definitely cheap here.
