ChaiyaTH Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Have heard and seen that so often across sukhumvit 11 on construction sites, may it be gas or real guns for sale and dealings going on. Not to mention drunk police loving to point guns at people and shoot in the air whilst drunk (happened to me once years ago). Why care anyway if you are not at the spot.

Popular Post Kinnock Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 After living through the Red Shirt occupation, then the Multi color occupations, plus assorted bombings in Bangkok, I can now recognise all the different sounds: A sharp 'crack, crack' sound - pistol A mechanical 'rap, rap, rap' plus a smell of gunpowder - machine gun A super loud bang, but no shocks through the floor - exploding truck tire A loud bang accompanied by shaking windows and shocks through the floor - bomb A rythmic banging accompanied by yelps - next door having a bonk. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
