Briton killed and another injured in ‘sickle’ attack in Thailand

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

"A man from the UK has been killed in a knife attack and a second Brit has been seriously injured in Thailand.

The brutal assault saw the man reportedly cut in the neck with a sickle-shaped blade during the early hours of Saturday in the south-east Asian country."

"Police have suggested that the initial argument between the two men and their attacker may have been about the volume of music."

Sounds reasonable :crazy:
