a real argument over real grown up stuff

Just before 9pm on Tuesday Night, medical staff at the Banglamung Hospital received two patients who had been involved in a shooting incident which occurred inside a house in Kow Mae Geow sub-district. Khun Sawang aged 75, a local fortune teller sustained multiple injuries consistent with a fist fight and a second man, Khun Boonmee aged 34 sustained a gun shot to his right leg.

It is thought that Khun Sawang was the man who fired the shot. We understand from Police Lieutenant Colonel Koonawoot, the investigating officer, that the two men were part of a group of men who were drinking together inside the house.

A dispute began due to chickens owned by Khun Boonmee. It is thought that the chickens would often encroach on land owned by Khun Sawang who had become increasingly angry because of this.

A fight between the two men began and Khun Sawang produced a gun and claims to have accidently shot Khun Boonmee who then set-upon Khun Sawang along with the other men present. Police are investigating.

All eyes were to the skies on Friday Night here in Pattaya to witness a rare event involving the moon. On Friday, the moon was at its closest distance to the Earth.

It passed by 356,613km away, which is about 28,000km closer than average. The unusual feature of Friday’s event was that it also coincided with a full moon, which will made it appear 14 per cent bigger and some 30 per cent brighter than most full moons this year.

The next closest encounter with a full moon this large will not be until November 14, 2016.
