An argument over a dog in Phuket escalated into a violent confrontation, resulting in one man being seriously injured by a makeshift machete. The incident took place at the CSAL workers’ camp in Tha Sai, Moo 1, Srisoonthorn, on a Friday night.

Police captain Thitiwat Asasingh, with the Thalang Police, was informed of the incident at approximately 8.30pm. Teams of officers and rescue workers from Srisoonthorn Municipality promptly arrived at the scene to find 32 year old Charisak Tanyajaroen with a head gash and two additional wounds: one on his back and another on his left rib.

The alleged perpetrator, Anuwat Chanthason, was still present at the scene when the authorities arrived. According to initial police investigations in Phuket, the two individuals had not previously been in conflict, particularly as it was Charisak’s first day on the job.
