Re: 2 Malaysians 'Burned' By Unemployed In Bangkok
Victim Had A Conversation With The Attacker Before Being Burned 09.08.2025 - Two Malaysian tourists who were burned by a Thai man reportedly had a conversation with their attacker before the incident. According to witnesses, the two victims were seen chatting with the man before leaving and then sitting on the steps of the shopping mall. The man, known as Warakorn, approached the two victims and poured thinners before lighting the fire using his lighter as they tried to flee. Members of the public at the scene immediately intervened and detained the attacker until police arrived. When questioned at the Lumpini Police Station, Warakorn confessed to the attack and stated that he did not have any disagreements with the victim. The man attributed his actions to the severe stress of unemployment and hunger. The former boxer had previously worked as a security guard but had recently been laid off and was having difficulty getting a new job. The suspect told police that he did not eat on the day of the incident, which increased the pressure and prompted him to carry out the attack. A drug test on the suspect was found to be negative. Police are currently working with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security to assist in the investigation and discuss support measures. Both Malaysian tourists are currently in stable condition, and authorities plan to take additional evidence from them while the investigation continues.
