BANGKOK — A Frenchman was wounded fatally early Thursday morning after attempting to stop a fight at a guesthouse in Phra Nakhon area.
Police were alerted at about 2:30am to the death of a 24-year-old Leo Alexander Achille who had been stabbed by Seree “Pae” Rodliang, at the two-story Flapping Duck guesthouse near Pom Phra Sumen.
