snoop1130 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 PHOTO: Thairath One tourist was instantly killed and three were injured in a customer fight that ended up in a shooting between two raft rental shops at Krasiao Dam in the Dan Chang district of Suphan Buri province on Sunday, August 21st. Officials from the Dan Chang police station arrived at the scene after being notified of a shooting incident on Sunday evening. Upon arrival, the injured individuals were already delivered to the nearest hospital. The police then began the examination at a bamboo booth where the victims were reportedly hanging out before the incident. According to local witnesses, a lot of tourists were visiting the dam on the weekend, causing two local raft renting businesses to try to get the most customers. Before the incident, an intermediary, who was also another rental operator, came to ease the situation.

Popular Post Iamfalang Posted August 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2022 Every day you have to ask yourself, "Is LOS getting more or less dangerous?" Don't worry, if you're killed instantly, 500 baht will be sent to the next of kin. Rafting in Thailand.......................NOPE. That's another one off the list. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to live in the headline of sensation not reality or have a racist bias against Thailand because you think you and your country is superior. hmmm .... does the UK have knife stabbings in hair salons because customers get a bad haircut ? I guess they aren't as uneducated or don't have the urge to go out and kill someone for such a simple misunderstanding. does the UK have shop owners next door to each other shooting and killing folks because one took a customer away ? I guess they aren't as uneducated or don't have the urge to go out and kill someone for such a simple misunderstanding. And no, I'm not bias or racist as you tried to imply, I just find Thai's more prevalent in killing each other over simple matters due to the fact they are uneducated and cannot control their anger emotions or handle situations in a proper manner. Oh' and my country is far far from superior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
