Not to blame the victim, but no doubt the amount of money involved was something no one in Australia would murder over - but in Thailand even small amounts can make people do crazy things. Could easily be that an extra few thousand baht would've resolved the situation. Sometimes (often) with Thais it's better to just pay up and avoid potentially dangerous situations.

Having said all that- the husband went there with a knife he was willing to use - likely he already assumed the owner will not pay up and fight.

This is exactly the problem... extortion is expected to be accepted so that there is no discourse nor rocking of the boat... a bow and a wai and a smile are not acceptable solutions to avoid conflict resolution.
