PHUKET: A maid who reckoned the security guard at the Phuket apartment block where she worked was a bit young and deserved some ribbing paid with her life.
Police said yesterday that maid Sawee Sarating, 39, took to teasing security guard Narong Sripect, 23, at the block of apartments in Kalim where they both worked, north of Patong on Phuket's west coast.
Yesterday the ribbing became too much for the young security guard and he made some cracks about maids. Before much time had passed, the security guard and the maid were hurling abuse at each other.
The row ended when Khun Narong picked up a sharpened reinforcement bar and stabbed Khun Sawee to death. He was talked into surrendering to police and now faces a murder charge.

I have read this two or three times to believe what was written in it. In the picture you also see that he (the Murderer) may go without handcuffs while he smiles a little. Weird and Disturbing

Weird to some, but not to those who know that in Thailand, a smile is not the simple facial expression that westerners imagine. There are at least a dozen different kinds of smiles, for at least a dozen different emotions. And not every law enforcement process is improved by handcuffs. Sameness is the end of culture.
