Pattaya Beer Bar Owners in Bloody Brawl
April 1, 2008
Here’s one of the things that keep me away from Pattaya. I know some guys love the nightlife in Pattaya, the Thai girls and the general loose attitude that prevails. At one point in my life I would have been drawn to this like a moth to a flame as well. However, one thing I’ve never liked is having to deal with people who have uncontrolled tempers…like this guy.
Seems that a few days ago there were two beer bar owners who had a disagreement about property lines and an offending clothesline. The end result was Mr. Fred Frank Hansen (43) the German owner of The Party Salon and Pub being repeatedly stabbed by Mr. Jean-Marie Philbert (43) the French owner of Canary Bay Beer Bar. Yep that’s right, Mr. Philbert stabbed his neighbor because his clothesline was in the territory of his property.
The whole fracas started when Mrs. Philbert took a walk with her two year old son and noticed the clothesline from The Party Salon and Pub straying onto their property. She then spoke with one of the Canary Bay bar girls and asked her to remove it. Mr. Hansen, hearing the request became upset and came out from his bar, starting an argument. The argument rapidly escalated and Mr. Hansen attacked Mrs. Philbert. Mrs. Philbert, with her baby still in her arms began calling out to her husband for help.
As soon as Mr. Philbert heard the raised voices outside and saw Mr.Hansen attacking his wife, he rushed from the kitchen, armed with a knife. He intervened in the attack, stabbed Mr. Hansen five times then ran back into the bar, with bar girls having witnessed the whole incident. Neither Mr. Philbert nor his wife attempted to escape, but waited to surrender themselves to the police. Mr. Philbert was duly taken into custody and will be charged with causing bodily injury with a knife.
Crazy town crazy people. Be sure when you visit Pattaya you’re very careful what you do with your dirty laundry.

Ugh, ugh, ugh! First of all, I can’t stand people who can’t control their emotions.. and secondly, I hate the way this kind of thing reflects on Thailand. Perhaps they should give Pattaya to Malaysia.
I was never attracted to that kind of life at all. Must make me weird but it never held any appeal.
I know exactly what you mean about people that can’t control their emotions. And yes, it does reflect poorly on all of Thailand. Not sure Pattaya is far enough south to have it annexed by Malaysia though. I really think of Pattaya as separate from the rest of Thailand…almost like it’s own country, it has nothing to do with Thailand because it has been so degraded by the tourists that it attracts.
