Restaurant... exaggerating a bit methinks.

Some bad dudes in Nongprue district.  I'm just going to stay here in Pattaya.

The news report mentions police examining CCTV, I am hoping (as it is basic global standard practice for crime scene evidence collection) that where the suspect was dining, that food utensils, table area, glasses, etc were all dusted for prints and seized for DNA analysis.  Shell casings obviously would be other items of examination.  Not sure about Thai fingerprint and DNA database setup. 

 

We cannot rely of course on a journalist being given/relaying a complete rundown of the police evidence gathering and police may have just been told they're checking CCTV, without going into everything.

We cannot rely, of course, on a Thaivisa poster being given/relaying a complete rundown of the police evidence-gathering and the police may have just told the journalist that they're checking CCTV because they were, in fact, going into everything.

really have to wonder at many thai men that carry guns so they can show how "big" they are when they are incapable of rational thinking, have very short fuses with the mental capacity of an adolescent in many cases

Like 'mansions' which are blocks containing cheap rooms. Like some hotel 'suites', where the manager of one told me it's just a name. And so on.
