Muang Rayong police were called by medical staff to Rayong Hospital after a young man arrived with a gun.

 

Pao, about 25, was not making any trouble on the second floor of the hospital on Thailand's eastern seaboard. He was just sitting in the OPD on a mental health visit.

 

It was discovered he was from Ban Phe and the weapon was a 200 baht BB gun the suspect had purchased from a friend on Facebook.

 

He told police he wanted to show it to the doctors, reported Siam Rath. 

 

He was charged with being drunk in public and his relatives were contacted to come and pick him up.

Up the medication ?

Their bullet proof vests don't look like they can stop anything more than paint pallets. May be BBs. Did the funds for actual properly plated vests turn into a gilded lining in someone's pocket? Hmm..
