Mr Worayut had suffered a serious cut on his left arm and a stab wound to the left of his chest. While Mr Anucha was stabbed in his back and torso. The two men were transferred to Thalang Hospital for treatment.
The two victims described the attack to police: “While we were sitting at the dam’s edge, there was a group of teenagers, around five to six people, who were driving on motorbikes. When they saw us they came down and talked with us. Then they took out knifes to threatened us and demanded that give them our valuables, but we refused. So they attacked us and drove away. Later people who were exercising saw us and called the rescue workers”.
