Popular Post webfact Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 "Hey buddy, fancy some BBQ pork" - innocent greeting turns nasty in Hat Yai Picture: Thai Rath Police in downtown Hat Yai in the far south of Thailand were called after a 21 year old man was attacked with a two foot long sword. Surachate had already been taken to hospital by his girlfriend when the constabulary arrived on the scene in Soi 5 of Chokesaman Road. The police were told that Surachate, a 21 year old moo katha trader, had been drinking with a few friends when his pal "Jin" passed by on his Yamaha Fino. Seeing his buddy Surachate called out for him to join them for some tasty pork barbecue. However, he refused and after the good name of one of the friend's mother's was brought into question an argument developed. Jin left the scene and then came back with five men in a Vios. One of the men emerged with a two foot long Sparta sword. Jin took hold of the sword and attacked his friend before leaving his motorcycle and phone at the scene and fleeing. The other men also disappeared. Police have the whole incident caught on mobile phone footage, reported Thai Rath.

That thing will do some serious damage even if the dingdong idiot doesn't know how to carve properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These imitation swords are readily available in markets etc. here and I do agree that they could inflict serious damage in the hands of any ting tong....

Here in CM before C19, they had make shift side of the road stalls that sell them and a plethora of other types. They rust pretty fast and that makes them more lethal if you were to get hammered by one. Edited June 19, 2020 by holy cow cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that blood poisoning would be the least of your concerns if you had been unfortunate enough to have had your carotid artery severed, but anyway, yes, they were and still are widely available. Just as an aside, my son in law back in NZ has a good display of these type swords, bought in a couple of different Thai markets, in their down stairs bar and they haven't started rusting after 12 years.

They are used in gang warfare all the time. Typical Thai short sword, notice the slim blade and relatively long handle/grip, as in the news pic: Typical Machete: See culture/weaponry/popularity of "Krabi Krabong".

Let all of us ignorant non-Hat Yai denizens become enlightened by your teachings... A little bit of genning up might enlighten one. Hat Yai is south, but the south is massive with the 'troubles' typically belonging to the deep, Muslim-majority south. There are more muslims in town than past years for sure (but not a majority), typically because the chilled ones have escaped the nutty ones farther south.

I wasn't going to reply but have just re read your reply and can't recall "telling the story" or mentioning anything about "the the majority of Muslims". I am not faking anything and resent you falsely quoting me in an attempt to make yourself look smarter than you are. Have a nice day down south Pal.
