Knifed to death in the street outside the Royal Paradise was Somkid Jandawong, 27.
Officers from Kathu Police Station, which oversees Patong, said Khun Somkid had been drinking with friends when he and one friend got into a dispute about 3.10am.
After they scuffled, the friend pulled a knife and stabbed Khun Somkid, who is out of work.
The suspect vanished quickly. He was wearing a black shirt, black jeans and white shoes.
The man's body was taken to Patong Hospital.
That's certainly a dangerous street to be on at that time of the morning. Not recommended!
