This is insane considering how brutal it is!

Ticks one of the boxes when it comes to murders in Thailand.  Usually about money, sex or adultery (jealousy) and losing face.

If you look at the pool of blood you will see a figure of a tall thin man with one hand pointing at his own face.

If you turn the pages of thai language newspaper you will see lots of gruesome murders and accidents, I believe these don't get into the english language thai newspaper so as not to give a bad image of Thailand.

Anyone knows about this?

Tick the box for drugs (Meth) as well.

 

They found a shit load of drugs there as well according to the Phuket Gazette site.

There's an old thing about ' Do Not Ask For Credit As A refusal Often Offends '.

It's equally applicable for loans especially here where people do get worked up about money, where refusing to lend can cause anger and asking for a loan re-payment even more so.

My wife keeps asking for money I don't have , not yet given this much thought but there are one or two large knives in the kitchen next time the old Vios gets a mention of up grading.
