A 22-year-old Thai man has been charged with the murder of a British man in western Thailand, according to local officials.
Marcus Evans, 49, died after being attacked in Kanchanaburi in the early hours of Saturday, Thai police said.
A second British man, named by police as Shaun Dagnan, 54, was seriously injured and taken to hospital. A sickle was found at the scene, they added.
The alleged attacker is due in court on Monday, police said in a statement.
They also said Mr Evans had lived in the area for five years, and Mr Dagnan for three.
Police released passport photos of the two men, which show Mr Evans was born in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset and Mr Dagnan was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
A spokesperson from the UK Foreign Office said: "We are in contact with the Royal Thai Police following the death of one British man and the hospitalisation of another in Thailand and are ready to provide consular support."
