What an absolutely vile beast. I wish I believed in hell and eternal torture, because that's what he deserves.

Would you make the same comment about Americans in the aftermath of one of their, far more frequent, mass shootings?

Yes

So many these Thai males have zero control, make em angry and its a murderous rage. All you can do is warn people...don't go to Thailand, if you do give the males a wide berth, don't try to interact with them. Don't ever ever try to be funny and crack a joke...that's like playing with a hand grenade.

here for the women huh?

what a terribly paranoid life you must lead. No friends? 

gee, you must have had a fun night last night hiding in your room. 

No need to be scared,most thai blokes are very friendly, there are a few nutters, like in every country.

Nope , But this one by you below,   could clinch it.

As dead people,   cant tell you the other side of the story

Doesn't justify the killings but there are always two sides to a story.

Stop blaming mental illness.. It's a total lack of self control and it's rife in Thai men

Yes indeed , stay in your own country where  mass  shootings never occur.

Its a shame when they get the order all wrong. RIP.

Have you even been to Thailand? This is the most stupid baseless paranoid comment i have seen in a long time.

I can see the gun nuts lining up - if another member of the family had had a gun, the tragedy would have been prevented.

Probably not as even the people in this 3rdish world country have more common sense then the idiots in the country you are referring too.

No big deal.

 

This will be forgotten about by next week like so many other horrific events before it (events that would resonate in the phyche of society for many years in a normal country).

 

Ohhh Neva Mine....Mai Pen Rai and all that.

This crime gets 4 pages of comments and an attractive foreigner spray painting a road surface gets 13 pages of remarks...

Well I carried a gun for well over 40 years and none of my ex wives ever shot me, so maybe it had a deterrent effect. ????

Nope. Never. If I was going out drinking, no gun on person.

 

Now in Alaska, there was always one to two guns in the car. So I never drank beyond walking distance of home.

 

Out in the field, around the fire at night, there were a few times that I overindulged while still wearing my 44. Thats becasue its dark and if you have to go piss, you could run into a bear. So I tried not to get falling down, just tipsy

Absolutely horrific. It's bad enough that people get so desperate that they turn to actions like this, but absolutely heart wrenching that young kids are the innocent victims.

What a terrible, terrible tragedy

"Desperate" about what?

Another tragic instance of someone who would seem to have had mental health issues.
The government needs to invest in providing support to vulnerable people, so we can slow this almost daily reporting of someone doing a vicious act because of a deranged mental state. There are too many unbalanced people here grabbing guns or knives seeking revenge for the most trivial of matters. Road rage, feeling disrespected, marital issues, grab a weapon and let's get even.

Who knows it could eventually be safe to live here.

"Mental issues", "vulnerable people", "deranged mental state". What's with the psychiatry assumptions as to cause?

I was going to ask the same question -- why are we reading articles on this from two different UK media outlets of all places (when there's no apparent UK connection to the incident whatsoever), and nothing here from the usual ThaiVisa local news sources?

 

PS -- The BKK Post website has an article on this one that seems to be pulling info from both Reuters and AFP. The BKK Post article says the guy's wife survived, and that he had a drug-related criminal record, was very drunk at the time of the shooting, but no history of violence against family members.

 

PPS - The Nation does have an article on this on their website as well:

 

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/around_thailand/30361428

 

However, The Nation article has 180 degree opposite info from the BKK Post article, as follows (Note the final sentence quoted below...):
 

Quote

 

Deputy provincial governor Somporn Patchimphetch, who inspected the scene at 1.30am told reporters that the murders appeared to have been committed in a fit of rage. He added that Sucheep - who was married to the family’s other daughter Boonnyanuch Sornsang, 37, was resentful at the family’s alleged hostility towards him. Boonnyanuch was not present at the party."
 

Somporn said Sucheep was released in November from the Nakhon Si Thammarat Prison where he had been jailed for three years for attempted murder. It was reported that he was unemployed, often drunk and had on many occasions threatened to kill the family.

Here's a link to the Reuters article, which ends with the following gun info for Thailand:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-new-year-thailand-idUSKCN1OV1EZ

 

Quote

 

According to 2016 data from the University of Washington, Thailand had the highest reported rate of gun-related deaths out of 10 countries in Asia. It was about 50 percent higher than the Philippines, which was second on the list.
 

According to Thailand’s Interior Ministry, there are more than 6 million registered firearms in the country of 69 million people. But there are also many unregistered guns in circulation.
