He was found by the roadside with serious knife wounds and was rushed to hospital.
According to Thai police, Cook’s face was slashed and he suffered chest and stomach wounds
He remains in intensive care in hospital.
A local taxi driver witnessed the attack and alerted the police.
“A white Toyota Veloz drove into the parking lot. Two foreign men and one woman got out of the car. I heard shouting and then the car sped away. The foreign man was lying on the ground in pain,” the taxi driver told the Daily Mail.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Suthiraphan Tapsri said: “We are urgently working on intercepting the car.”
“The British man is still unable to give a statement. Our initial investigation shows he knew the attackers, and an argument could have led to the attack.”
