He had suffered a deep neck wound, which severed a major blood vessel. First responders rushed to provide emergency care before transporting him to Pattaya City Hospital. His condition was critical, and doctors immediately worked to save his life.
Witnesses later revealed that the incident stemmed from jealousy. The victim, Mr. Mikhail, had recently met with his ex-girlfriend, a Russian woman, outside the condominium.
Although they had ended their romantic relationship, they still kept in touch. Meanwhile, her new boyfriend, who lived nearby, had been keeping a close watch on her. He was aware of their meeting.
When the current boyfriend saw the woman sitting intimately with her former lover, he became furious. He approached the couple, aggressively confronting the victim.
Without warning, the suspect stabbed Mr. Mikhail in the neck, causing him to collapse. Despite the severe injuries, the victim attempted to fight back but was quickly overwhelmed.

After the attack, the assailant walked away calmly. He disposed of the knife in a garbage bin, making no effort to hide his involvement.
He seemed unfazed by the violent confrontation, as he left the scene without any further interaction. The woman, in shock, was left standing beside her ex-boyfriend, whose shirt was soaked in his own blood.
Police confirmed that the entire attack was recorded on the building’s CCTV cameras. The footage clearly shows the assailant’s actions. This critical evidence is now being used to track down the suspect. Pattaya City Police are working closely with Tourist Police to locate and apprehend the foreign national involved.
The case has raised concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in Pattaya, a popular tourist destination. Jealousy and personal disputes have led to violent confrontations in the past.
Experts warn that such crimes are becoming more common as foreign residents face complex relationship dynamics.
Multiple shocking incidents on the same day in Pattaya, including the murder of a Thai transgender woman
Indeed the violent love triangle case was not the only shocking crime reported in Pattaya on Saturday. In the early hours, a Chinese man murdered a Thai transgender woman. He then removed organs from her body, leading to a disturbing police investigation. Officers later detained the suspect at Suvarnabhumi Airport, but the details of that case remain under review pending an autopsy.
Authorities in Pattaya are calling for residents and tourists to remain alert. They urge anyone who witnesses suspicious activity to report it immediately. As both investigations unfold, police are committed to bringing the suspects to justice.
These crimes serve as a reminder of the dangers that can arise from unchecked jealousy. The danger of such relationships is of course raised in Pattaya, renowned as a playground for sex and partying.
