Well-liked local Danish businessman gunned down on Soi Honey Inn
Police make speedy arrest
Boonlua Chatree
Danish national Michael Kristensen, 33, was shot three times with a.38 caliber pistol just after midnight on November 20. Two men riding a motorcycle gunned him down in front of a busy beer bar in Soi Honey Inn (Soi 13) off Pattaya Second Road.
All three shots entered Kristensen's chest, with at least one hitting his heart. He was brought to Pattaya Memorial Hospital in critical condition and later succumbed to his wounds.
Anuwat Tharyoung (standing center wearing handcuffs), who confessed to planning the murder, watches as Treesin Nukuchoaw (with gun) reenacts the murder.
Just days later, police arrested Anuwat Tharyoung, 19, and Treesin Nukuchoaw, 23, at two separate locations. Both men eventually confessed to their involvement in the murder.
Renny Kristensen, 24, the victim's brother who witnessed the shooting, told police that he and his brother had been drinking at the Best Friend Beer Bar complex on Beach Road. Michael had apparently received a phone call and he and Renny made their way via motorcycle to Soi Honey Inn.
Renny went on to say that no sooner had they managed to park the motorcycle when the two men rode up. Renny said the pillion passenger pulled out a gun and fired three rounds into his brother before speeding off in the direction of Soi Bua Khao. He described the men as Thai, under 25 years of age and both were wearing black clothing. The shooter was wearing a cap and the driver a helmet.
Police took fingerprints of the deceased - standard procedure - then ordered the body be sent for a post mortem examination at the Police Forensic Institute.
During investigations, police learned that Kristensen was a well-liked member of the Danish community, and that he had no known enemies. He owned a slaughterhouse in Denmark with his brother, and was in the process of looking into buying a hotel in Jomtien.
The investigation task force and criminal investigators questioned over 20 witnesses to the shooting, eventually concluding that the shooter was someone close to the Kristensen family, most likely a relative.
After staking out the Kristensen's Casa Jomtien home in Jomtien, police acquired a warrant and arrested Chachoengsao resident Anuwat Tharyoung, 19, from inside Kristensen's house.
Anuwat confessed to driving the bike the night of the shooting. He went on to say that he removed the number plate of the motorcycle before looking for Kristensen, and that Treesin Nukuchoaw, 23, was the shooter.
Police located Treesin behind a Karaoke bar in Sattahip. He still had in his possession a.38 caliber pistol with three rounds missing from the clip. The weapon was confiscated as evidence, as police are confident it was the weapon used in the murder.
Anuwat also told police that the reason he and his friend shot Kristensen was that Anuwat had become enraged when he witnessed Michael Kristensen verbally abuse his cousin, Sukannya Tharyoung, Renny Kristensen's wife, during an argument Michael Kristensen was having with his wife, Yomanar Kristensen, 29.
He said he arranged for his friend to collect a gun from a relative, and the two planned the attack.
Both men were charged with first degree (premeditated) murder, carrying and discharging a loaded weapon in public.
At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 23, Pol. Lt. Gen. Jongrak, region 2 police commander and senior officers took the two men to the scene of the crime to re-enact the November 20 events. A large crowd of local residents and tourists watched as the two men re-enacted the shooting.
Police were applauded for their swift action in apprehending the two men. Danish Embassy officials, also present during the reenactment, presented police with a basket of flowers in appreciation for such a quick arrest.

this just goes to show that you can get dead from verbally abusing Thais.
The loss of face isn't beared just by the person you insult, but sometimes also by other family members or peers
The Thais have a saying "Sah dTai, gor dTai dai"
Sah = belligerent (in the slang form)
dTai = die
dai = can
gor = then
Sah dTai = dead belligerent (similar to dead serious)
so in summary the phrase means Deadly belligerent, can make you Dead
or basically, your infuriated actions can get you killed
and it's true, especially in SE-Asia
I've known people who learned this lesson in the past, & unfortunately had the displeasure of even working for such a person. He was threatened by an employee wielding a nice big stick after berating him & docking his pay, etc.
He was soon moved to the BKK office where he still couldn't play along & was soon out of a job. I have no idea where he is now, but can only hope that he's not still in LOS.
Another fellow was a publican who seemed to be increasingly in a worse mood each day of his life. He would berate the waitress, bartender, & his own wife.
He was nearly murdered one day when the pregnant waitress had a panic attack after he called a stupid c*** or some thing in a very loud voice. Waitress was taken to the hospital & after the doctor told her husband that she was in danger of miscarriage if this sort of abuse continued, the young man went straight out to the pub/restaurant with a knife.
The publican managed to duck out the back while a few of us lied saying he'd gone already
The publican is since dead by natural causes & the young waitress had her baby then moved to Krypto-Ville (Chonburi) with her hubby
Another case most recent where nothing happened, but my friend took the right path to avoid any incident just in case.
A person was rather belligerent to another in an outdoor streetside restaurant.
There was a fight and the belligerent drunk was beaten til he could hardly stand in the street, but when the police arrived they did nothing, just watched.
After the drunk was good and beaten up, he went back to eating, 555
My friend paid up and got the hell out of there in case the fellow who had beaten the drunk came back with a weapon to waste the drunk
Even in California, restaurants have been sprayed by machine gun fire after the silliest of disputes took place inside earlier
Remember this when those pesky street sellers are buggin' you, or you have an argument with a Baht bus driver or mototaxi. They can get you dead if you berate them

Hmmm I am in the process of ending a relationship with my longtime falang GF. We live in California and one of her favorite behaviors is to belittle me in front of friends or the public.
Due to this uncontrollable behavior of hers (she's otherwise pretty sweet) she's been banned from the following:
1) Events with my staff or any business dinners
2) Anywhere near any personal business meetings.
Recently I went to a little pub on the way home to my new house to check it out. Foolishly I told her where I was going. She called me on the pub's phone twice to the giggles and jokes of everyone present.
I became "Norm" from the TV show cheers in a place I was thinking about making a new favorite the 1st 5 minutes I got there. Finally that did it for me. She's "off the team". I got home told her that was it and I will be in LOS for Christmas...
No harsh words just game over. The Thais certainly seem to have less patience for th is behavior than we in the west...
