Egyptian man stabbed in the neck in Phuket

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.

Apparently another tourist was stabbed on Soi steroid, Phukets famed fitness center, this time over the price of a roti.

UPDATE:
Thai man charged with attempted murder after tourist is stabbed
by P1 News editor, July 24, 2019
Sanook reported further details after an Egyptian was slashed in the neck by a roti seller who thought that the tourist was having a go at his wife.

Surachai grabbed a big knife when he heard the words “F*CK YOU” uttered by the tourist.

Without asking questions he went for the jugular – fortunately he missed but there was still a 7-centimeter gash.

Mahmoud Abbas, 30, is recovering in Bangkok Phuket hospital after the attack at the end of last week.

Chalong police have been investigating and have witnesses who said that the tourists (there were two not three as previously reported) were actually talking about some Thai boxing they had been to see.

The comments were just idle chatter between friends and not a slur on the character of Surachai’s wife. It was all a misunderstanding.

Surachai has been charged with attempted murder.
