Thai-ness...at it's finest...

I call to ban all knives! If it were not for the knife he had the young man would be alive today.

Young people have forgotten how to settle disputes....killing is not a option! RIP

They would just 'duel' with spoons instead.

I have become pretty good with a spoon since moving to Thailand. Never get a knife in the restaurants I go to !!

You can "call" as much as you lie...but who's listening? You also forget, many Thais do not fight fairly, so if he did bring a knife he surely would have brought some mates. I'm actually surprised there's only two people involved, but then, maybe one was faster with a knife than the other.

A knife is a deadly weapon, a punch is usually not (Unless the opposition is a professional Martial Arts type.)

"King hit" or cowardly single punches are the norm on the streets of Australia.

Bullsh#t... it happens, but certainly not the "norm."

Yep, just what we need.. more protectionism.... scream for help from an already overgrown government that would nothing more than to eviscerate more civil liberties and human rights...

Knives dont kill people... People kill people.... what next? ban pencils and scissors....pfffft.....and there is no way of saying for certain that absence of a knife would have prevented a death.... a single punch can kill a man... perhaps we should ban arms and hands too??? lol....

Yes they are, but when I spent six weeks in Perth late December to mid Feb there were something like five stabbing murders many if not all fuelled by chrystal meth. Kids in Aus now have knives in their cars and take knives to parties for self defence. I lament the loss of innocence of my beautiful country.

All you commentators all sound like pussy whipped little bunny huggers. I could end your presencs on earth with these, a book, small pencil, elastic band, hand hold or one inch punch. Cars ignition keys are the best, but ice workers wonders too and does not leave a trace.... it melts. Grow up or go back to you little mollycoddled homelands.

He 'defended' himself with his knife did he?

I'm sorry, but since when has a knife been for defence?.. If you ask me, a knife is for attack to inflict lethal wounds.

If you are attacked you can use anything to protect yourself. Knife gun wood. As you don't know what the attack shall produce. Have to end it quickly. Easy answer if don't attack people unless you are ready to face that you might lose and die

Strange, I only know of 3 and no mention of crystal meth.

Grow up? That's rich coming from you.

killer on the loose .....again and again .

Don't confront thais...very bad for your health.....you must know by now.

Words fail me, life in Thailand is so cheap and I know things like this go on in the world, but there is not a day goes past that I do not read or view on the T.V. Something similar...

What's wrong with some young people ...???

Does he not realise that he has messed up his life and will spend his youth in Jail,....

Life is precious in all aspects... Enjoy it folks, as we never know when our lights will be switched off.

To the poor victim R.I.P.

Get rid of the guns. Then the knives. What's next - forks?
