Tourists on Chaweng beach fled in terror as a dispute between two Thai men ended in a shoot-out at around 4.30pm on Tuesday 27th of February 2018.

 

It is unclear how the dispute started between the son of the owner of Petcherat Marina Bangrak, 26, and a member of the Padma family jet-ski family, 45, however it is known that one man died of gun shot wounds in the altercation.

 

At the time of going to press the other is in ICU. Two guns were found at the scene, a 357 magnum, the other a 9mm Beretta.

 

After the shooting that left over 100 tourists on the beach in terror, ambulance crews arrived and gave CPR on the beach.

 

They were unable to save the life of the 26 year old.

 

Police sealed off the area and seized both weapons. They are currently investigating the crime.

They only have themselves to blame, i.e. previously when they were scamming the tourists out of money with alleged jet ski damage that was already there, with these idiots having the backing of their corrupt cop mates fleecing countless tourists, via the threat of you pay or go to jail, then collect their share.

 

Well business has been down for a while as the word spread countless times over around the world with those educated, (the majority) of tourists avoiding jet skis like a plague, inevitably it becomes a territorial war to try and cover losses.

 

Som nom nam

I knew hiring a jet ski has it's hazards but a shootout .... Yikes  !!    :shock1:

It is time for a nation wide crack down on illegal gun possession! 

RIP

They might not have been illegal. It’s not difficult to get a gun here. Just very expensive.

Hua Hin is packed with tourists. You can't even get on the baht bus because it is loaded like a can of sardines.

 

Not too many shoot outs. It would be exciting as it is so boring here.
