Thai stabbed during fight with British man in South Pattaya

Posted on November 15, 2012

Just after 4.30 am on Thursday, Pattaya Police received reports of a fight involving a British Tourist and a group of 5 Thai men, who work for a car rental shop. One of the Thai men was reportedly stabbed in his wrist by the Brit who allegedly intended to stab the Thai in his chest.

At the scene, in front of the Udom Aeg Shop opposite the Welcome Plaza Hotel on Pattaya Second Road was Mr. John Harris aged 45, who had suffered severe facial injuries and cuts after he was set-upon by the group of 5 men, along with Khun Soemsak aged 37 who had sustained a deep cut to his wrist. He claimed that Mr. Harris had lunged towards him with his knife and he placed his hand in front of his chest to avoid a potentially serious injury.

Police were only able to speak with Khun Soemsak and are very keen to hear Mr. Harris’s version of events but for now the story begins when Mr. Harris is alleged to have knocked over a table placed at the side of the road which they used for their car rental business. Profanities were exchanged and Mr. Harris walked off. He was seen to walk past the group of Thai men a number of times during the evening and more harsh words were reportedly exchanged.

The incident came to a bloody and violent conclusion as Mr. Harris left a bar. It is claimed he produced a knife and attacked Khun Soemsak who was then assisted by his colleagues who attacked Mr. Harris in return.

We must stress that we have received only one side of the story from Khun Soemsak. Police are waiting to question Mr. Harris in connection with the incident.

Huh? A cheap market switchblade is probably one of the first things most male tourist buy.

We will see?, do you honestly believe that the truth will come out when its a Thai's word against a farang?,with respect you are well and truly delving into the realms of fantasy ,as no doubt many members on this forum who live in the "real world" will readily confirm

[alitongkat]

one day its you who will be in the paper... either in the hospital, at the police...

we all will end up in "pattaya one" or a similar high-regarded paper... its just a matter of time...

maybe we can agree on a secret code... a sign - when the picture is taken... (no pls, not right hand up, just because i am initiating the idea)... some message, we can pass onto - with our pics in the paper...

?

we will see ? means I have concerns that this as you say will result in the Farang getting stuffed .

you happy now you have made your point, good go to bed with mumsy and tell her what a clever child I am ,

Written by the chickenhead this story is just another one in a series whereby a drunken, nasty and lowlife farang gets his comeuppance courtesy of a group of civic minded Thai citizens protecting their interests.

Meanwhile, back in the real world where Elvis doesn't live on the moon ( unless it's Soi Diana/Buakhao/Wherever ), a British man is assaulted and beaten up by a bunch of chickenheads anxious not to lose a satang they felt was owing to them and during the course of the attack they contrived to implicate the man in a vicious knife assault where said chickenheads were lucky not to lose their scrawny chickenhead necks.

Fuck 'em. They ain't foolin' anyone.

[Dillinger]

Doesnt your thesaurus have any substitute for chickenhead, my old learned friend ? :-)

OK your average non/educated Thai man then ?

Wellllllll Let me be a devil advocate here.

So the Brit guy (assuming he was sober, but not likely in Pattaya) walked by and knocked their table over.

Words were exchanged.

Brit dumb enough to walk by the place where he had the altercation numerous times as reported and by now i'd have to believe(4:30am and having reported left a bar) the Foker was lit up and full of himself.

Confrontation ensues. Brit yields a knife and takes a poke(drunken mind you) at one of the 5 guys and his buddies jump in. Brit gets his ass handed to him.

Of course my theory is all speculation. The Brit could have been one of the nicest guys, totally sober, never had a drink, was minding his own business, never said one bad word and walking by the place that he had an altercation over and over was simply dumb luck....

Or he was jumped by 5 guys and used the knife in self defence... Guess we will never really know

I agree. I was just tossing out another theory being that this kind of thing never happens in Pattaya or Phuket....

[Tom Sawyer]

Kind of a 'Man bites dog' story isnt it?

[Imminent]

Maybe it isn't even his knife. The Brit got it much worse than the Thais by the pics. More info needed on this one.

[chitown]

5 Thais on 1 farang

Can we get someone to do a gangnam style parody video and call it Thai gangnam style with 5 or more cowardly Thais attacking a farang? Now that's Thai style

[Stumpy]

5 Thais on 1 farang

Not intended to cite a debate by any means, haven't any of you been in a bar fight or an altercation where a dude comes at one of your buds while in a group and the group just clubs the stupid MoFo?

I have witnessed it and in my college years was involved in a few. Some people you add alcohol and they become instant assholes and deserve an ass beating...

Again not saying by any means this was the case but..well...you know.

[chitown]

Nope. In the hood I grew up in, no one would have dared !

[Fondles]

From my observation most "British lads" are mouthy as fuck and full off themselves and am not surprised a weapon was pulled (lets look at the what tool do you carry thread) and the stupid fuck had his ass handed to him and is now crying a river.

[somtamslap]

More info needed on this one.

The farang got mouthy after too much scotch. The Thais got all childish about it (essentially throwing a temper tantrum like little fucking girls - oh no! we've lost face etc etc). One of them got hurt...boo hoo hoo, fetch the fucking kleenex. And the stupid fuck whoever titled this piece wants a short, sharp punt to the bollocks.

[chitown]

That ain't no "lad".

That is an over the hill, almost a pensioner, middle aged British man!

[somtamslap]

It's an age old scenario which will happen on a daily basis. But this time a Thai got hurt so it's splashed all over the front page.
