He was drunk and bleeding on his head. The medics quickly administered first aid to Mark,  and  while taking him to the hospital, Mark saw his girlfriend, jumped off the rescue truck and walked over to his Thai girlfriend to start complaining and arguing with her, until Police had to stop the squabble.

Mark stated that he is an owner of an apartment in Pattaya, and early that evening, he and his girlfriend went to have drink at his friend’s house on Soi Chaiyapruk, with his girlfriend driving the car. Then he became drunk and started to quarrel with his girlfriend, and a short time later they headed back home. Since he was intoxicated, his girlfriend drove the car. But on the way back home, the quarrel resumed, so his girlfriend hopped out of the car. At this point, he had to drive the car himself, but lacking presence of mind, he drove his auto into the front gate of the house. Then he called his girlfriend to meet him at the scene.

The owner of the house told Police that she and her husband were sleeping, when  suddenly they heard the collision at the front of the house. They ran out to check, and saw that the sedan had smashed into the gate, but there was no driver to be seen. Once the Police arrived, Mark walked out from a nearby grove and asked for help. Mark stated that he was the driver and would take responsibility for the accident, and now awaits further proceedings.

The Nongprue branch of Banglamung police was called on Wednesday evening by the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team volunteers for officers to go investigate a stabbing incident involving workers at a construction site camp.  At the scene at Nernplubwan Village 3, two male workers were found unconscious and bleeding profusely from serious stab wounds to their stomachs.  They were given emergency first aid and then sent to ICU at Banglamung hospital. A witness stated that the two men, Komsan and Soeng, were cousins and that night they were both drinking with a man called See from another camp.  As the drinking increased so did their emotions and Komsan accused See of eyeing up his wife.  A fight broke out and See pulled out a knife and stabbed both his friends before fleeing the camp.  A search is now underway to find See in the hope to bring this incident to a swift close.
