Armed man forces his way into hotel in Krabi to free his quarantined wife and son

[webfact]

 

A man was arrested by police at a poultry farm in Muang district of Thailand’s southern province of Krabi today (Tuesday), just hours after he shot his way into a hotel, where his wife and son were quarantined, to take them back home.

 

According to the account given to the police by a security guard at the hotel in Ao Nang sub-district, which is being used as a local quarantine facility for people considered to be at risk of getting infected with COVID-19, a man identified arrived in a car, carrying a durian, and asked to see his wife and a son, who have been in isolation there for the past three days.

 

The guard, however, turned down his request, claiming that all visits are banned by provincial health officials and that there is a restriction on durian in the hotel.

The link is more interesting.

 

The guy was charged with attempted murder by shooting someone on his farm prior  and having 3 guns.

 

I rather doubt he will be seeing his wife and kid without cell bars for the next 20 years. Idiot

 

[ukrules]

He didn't really think this out I guess.

 

Perhaps he wanted to see them one more time before he went to prison.

 

Which might explain why he attempted to break them out of their own prison.

[smedly]

all jokes asside

 

I think his wife and kid were likely in hiding not quarantine 

[ezzra]

I think they didn't let him him because of the Durian so not to stink up the place...

[2009]

So, he shoots someone, goes to buy a durian to give to his wife....to makes things better??

Amazing Thailand.

 

I guess the durian had the higher iq of the two.

[tonray]

He was apparently unaware that Durian require a COE before being admitted into any hotel

Coming out soon, the Thai soapy version of this true love story.

 

They can also make a scene with the wife trying to break him out of prison.

 

Can't wait !

Looks like Somyot won't see his wife for an even longer time

he should have known Durian is not allowed in hotel rooms.

Seriously he probably has had a guts full of all of this and does not understand any of it , sad.

But just wondering how well the gov't is communicating in more remote areas about all aspects of Covid 19. Perhaps he's aware of local officials/hi-sos not doing any quarantine and thought putting his wife and son in quarantine was an attempt at ransom payments or similar.

Headline says "Armed Man". The synopsis doesn't mention a gun, just that he was holding a Durian. Now, I'll agree they are fearsome fruit. Heavy, covered in pointy things, will do real damage if you're hit. So my imagination went sideways as I was seeing motor cycle helmet clad men walking into gold shops and declaring "they had a Durian and were not afraid to use it!".

Darn but I wanted another "only in Thailand" moment.... oh well, maybe Anutin will hold another press conference.
