snoop1130 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 A heated argument between a man from Myanmar and a group of Thais escalated into a Wild West shootout. Kathu Police were alerted to the incident at 6.30am this morning in front of a rental room complex on Soi Suea Lueang. Upon receiving the report, law enforcement personnel quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation. Evidence at the scene revealed the presence of 15 spent bullet cartridges in front of the rental room complex. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported as a result of the incident. However, the loud gunshots caused concern among nearby residents, prompting some to remain indoors for their safety, The Phuket Express reported. Witnesses at the scene provided an account of the altercation, stating that it involved multiple Thais and a man from Myanmar. The Myanmar national sought refuge in a nearby work camp within the Soi as the Thai group pursued him. Upon reaching the camp, the Thai individuals confronted other workers, demanding information about the whereabouts of the Myanmar man.
