File Under: He Stabbed Me First Dept.

Two monks have become embroiled in a drunken brawl north of Bangkok last night.

The two were injured in a scuffle and knife fight after they drank together at their temple in Ang Thong’s Pa Mok district.

Local police were called to Wat Amphawan at 11pm.

When police arrived they found 52 year old Phra Wannop Roengjai soaked in blood. He suffered cuts to his head, back, arms and chin. Medics performed first aid and took him to the district hospital.

Phra Wannop told police that he drank with 43 year old Phra Chuchart Boonloh and they engaged in a heated argument before Phra Chuchart allegedly attacked him. Phra Wannop said he seized the knife and threw it away.

After Phra Wannop was sent to the hospital, Phra Chuchart, who had a big cut on his chest, said Phra Wannop attacked him with the knife first so he seized the knife and hit him back with the knife.

Phra Chuchart was also sent to the hospital.

Police will wait for them to recover before asking the Wat’s Abbot to defrock the pair so that they could face legal charges.

CHONBURI – British Nationals Joseph Michael Mulhare, 43, and Gregory Michael Mulhare, 38, were apprehended at a resort in tambon Don Hualor, Pol Maj Gen Surachate Hakparn, acting chief of the Immigration Bureau, told reporters on Thursday.

Their arrest followed a request by the British Embassy. The two brothers were said to be members of a drug trafficking gang who had fled to Thailand on Nov 2 and thought to be hiding in Pattaya.

Police investigators found the Britons were hanging out in Soi Bua Khao, or South Pattaya Soi 22, and were regular customers at a beer bar in the area, Pol Maj Gen Surachate said.

A team of immigration and crime suppression police kept a close watch on the suspects, who later moved from Soi Bua Khao to stay at a room at The Loft Pratamnak in Khao Pratamnak area, Pattaya.

On Nov 18, they had hired a woman, identified only as Jeerawan, for 2,000 baht to take them to a hotel on Khao San Road in Bangkok.

The duo later checked out and took a taxi to Suvarnabhumi airport, in a tactic seen as trying to mislead police. From the airport they took another taxi to the Sukhumvit Suite Hotel at Asoke intersection.

They stayed at the hotel until 10pm on Nov 19, when they hired a taxi to take them to a resort in Tambon Don Hualor, Chon Buri, where they were detained.

The suspects were taken to Chon Buri immigration office, where their visas were to be revoked pending deportation to the UK to face charges.

Nine suspects, among them one local community leader, were arrested in three drug crackdowns during the past week, the Narcotics Suppression Bureau revealed yesterday.

In the first operation in Chiang Rai’s Wiang Pa Pao district, police apprehended four suspects — Akha Janu, 54, Suwichai Phongthawirat, 23, Jamu Jalu, 21, and Janga Phaya-u, 56.

Mr Akha is an ethnic hilltribe man and local politician who currently serves as a deputy chief of tambon Wiang Pa Pao administration organisation.

Prior to the arrests, police received information that the local politician had been operating a gang distributing drugs in Wiang Pa Pao district for some time, he said.

Mr Akha was arrested at a petrol station in Ban Mae Khachan in tambon Mae Chedi. Mr Suwichai and Mr Jamu were later detained outside the office of the tambon Wiang Pa Pao administration organisation.

Mr Janga was later detained outside a technical college in the district while he was waiting to deliver the seized methamphetamine tablets to a buyer, police said.

The four were all charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

In the second case, Pornsak Saesong, 42, and Chuan Saewa, 20 were detained and charged with possession of 48,000 methamphetamine tablets in Phetchabun’s Khao Kho district.

They were arrested while waiting to deliver the drugs to their customers, police said.

In the third operation, carried out in Wang Saphung district of the northeastern province of Loei, three suspects were detained and 204 kilogrammes of dry compressed marijuana was seized from them, police said.

The suspects were identified as Nirut Buathum, 30, Prachuap Buathum, 37, and Boonchuay Khiawphairi, 49. They were charged with possession of cannabis.

The first two suspects were arrested while travelling in two cars transporting the seized marijuana from Loei to Rayong, police said.

Mr Boonchuay was detained while driving alone in Phuluang district, after admitting that he was travelling ahead of the other two suspects to scout the route for trouble, police said.

A young Thai woman went on TV yesterday to offer what she said was a cautionary tale for the country’s women — the story of how her breast implant ruptured during sex.

The woman, identified only as Preeyaporn, said she had gotten 425cc breast implants from a clinic two years ago. All went well until one year later, Preeyaporn felt pain in her left breast while her boyfriend was touching it during sex.

“I was having sex with my boyfriend — you know, we were playing … like man and woman. He was squeezing it [my left breast] like he normally would,” she said in a phone interview with Bright TV.

“Then my breast was so tender, and I felt a slight burning. He continued to squeeze it,” she said.

What Preeyaporn didn’t realize was that her implant had ruptured. In fact, she didn’t realize it until almost a year later.

As time went by, she said that her left breast started to sag abnormally, and that’s when she sought help.

“I left it for a while … like almost a year. Then I did some research on the internet and found out that my breast implant might have ruptured,” she said.

“My left breast was really saggy. Just one of them.”

Her new doctor, Natchaya Maitreewech, confirmed after a routine checkup that the woman’s implant ruptured, suggesting it may have been caused by a mistake from her former surgeon when stitching her implant.

“Her ruptured implant disfigured her breast. Another factor is she had gotten quite large implants — 425cc — while the skin of her breasts is quite thin,” Dr. Natchaya told Bright TV.

“I’m going to cite research — if great-quality silicone implants are used, most leakages are caused by the stitching. The doctor could have pricked the silicone with a needle. That’s why it ruptured later. In some cases, low-quality silicones can have a leakage after worn for a while.”

“If [ruptured implants] are left for too long, they can cause inflammation,” the doctor said.

In Preeyaporn’s case, the young woman said she has had her breast implant fixed and now recovered from the surgery.

Her final warning: “You have to do lots of research and choose implants that aren’t too big for you, and you must get an ultrasound checkup for your implants every year.”
