PATTAYA, Thailand – In the early hours of March 23, a man, driven by jealousy, viciously attacked another man sitting beside his wife. The assailant, whose identity remains undisclosed, assaulted the victim using a beer bottle before resorting to a knife, inflicting severe injuries.
At the scene located in Soi Ketsarin 2 in Jomtien, police found Phongsathorn Saranet, an assistant cook, lying injured, with visible wounds on his face, neck, collarbone, and left arm, bleeding profusely from the vicious assault.
