aonangmrhuw Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Krabi teens claim stabbing of British tourist was a 'misunderstanding' Phuket Gazette British tourist Daniel Cole, 21, said he would like to resume his travels as soon as possible. Photo: Atchaa Khamlo PHUKET: -- Two teenagers who confessed to attacking a British tourist in Krabi on Monday have claimed that they “misunderstood” the foreigner’s actions and thought he was insulting them. The victim, Daniel Cole, 21, has already undergone surgery for the cut wounds to his temple, chest, right shoulder and right arm and is recovering at Bangkok Hospital Phuket. Anusorn Kullak, 18, and his accomplice, 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are being held at Krabi Prison. “They said Mr Cole had insulted them, so the 17-year-old stabbed him with a 15-inch Sparta knife, while Mr Anusorn used a shoe to beat him,” Ao Nang officer Lt Col Niwat Pimket told the Phuket Gazette. The men ran off after the attack, and then people at a nearby dive shop called the police and rescue workers, he explained. The British woman, April Clifton, 21, who was walking with Mr Cole was not attacked. The pair were arrested about four hours after the incident. Today, Mr Cole explained to police that he was still shocked by the attack. However, he would like to return to his travels in Krabi as soon as the hospital discharges him.

nontabury Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I live in Ao-nang and I've seen it get steadily worse over the last 10yrs,Not surprised these B--t--ds make up a story that they were insulted, it will sure help them if they go to court, who do you think the Thai judges will believe? There is no justice for Farangs in Thailand. The bad Thai's who are only a small minority, are starting to realise that it's now open season on Farangs, they know the Thai authorities will Always side with them, and protect them, what do you think the Thai authorities would do to a Farang who in self defence, where to hit a Thai. Do you think the punishment would be the same? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nontabury Posted October 26, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2012 Maybe he did something to provoke the attack ? Here they come,the apologist. Never ceases to surprise me,when there is a confrontation between a Thai and a Farang, 95% of the Thai's will side with their fellow Thai,even when the Thai is obviously in the wrong.While In the case of the Farangs, there is always a percentage who will give the benefit of doubt To the Thai. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aonangmrhuw Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Maybe he did something to provoke the attack ? A friend of mine drove past them minutes before the attack.she told me, that they were arm in arm walking romantically.He sure was not drunk,so why pick a fight against 7 people ?Motive who knows....didn't want money...show off to the girls maybe.... Many times this has happened to me and my friends.I was kicked off my bike 5 months ago by 2 kids on bikes,just outside my home. Having a handy bat next to my door helped allot.with them both running off, Leaving the bike behind.They told police Accident..lol We even went out ,on night rides trying to lure them into attacking me.so we could catch them.3/4 local elder Thais following in the distance off course... I would like to praise the local police ,for all there recent efforts .Well done. little too late, but better than never. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been stabbed, if it was a 'sex pack attack' they would have raped her after taking care of the boyfriend. They were with their girlfriends, whatever reason they had for doing this it wasn't that. They were not after any cash. They went for the girl. The girl was assaulted. Her boyfriend attacked and then was attacked himself. He successfully diverted their attention to his cost. He had very good reason to believe she was about to be seriouisly sexually assaulted if not raped. You were not there. I prefer the account of the witness. If you do not believe woman have assisted males in the sexual assault and rape of other women then you are living in a very sheltered world. Quite clearly the two young Brits were objects/ targets, of whatever this group was trying to do. The Daily Mail does not need to hype this story. Its also running in The Times and many other newspapers and TV. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 For me there is something wrong with this. In the 10 years of living here I can't remember a tourist getting attacked for nothing. I have seen plenty here get a good kicking by a bunch of Thai's thinking they were back home on a Saturday night in the own town but never just a random attack. You also can't get stabbed several times with a 15" knife and suffer the small injuries he seems to have suffered. If it is an innocent attack on a tourist for no reason then it is a worrying trend. Lets hope it doesn't spread and if this is the case the police and the courts make an example of these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's been on British TV news channels too. Does anybody know if it's been in the Thai papers or on Thai TV, my Thai wife has not seen anything about it. A few yrs ago a German girl was murdered by Thai's on the other end of Ao-Nang beach, strangely, no mention was made in the Thai media,perhaps the same will happen here.
