[webfact]

 

A MAN who was among 10 people celebrating a friend’s birthday at a restaurant in Phra Pradaeng district, Samut Prakan province, was accidently shot in the right rib cage by a waiter who was unloading bullets from a pistol behind a bar counter in the wee hours of this morning (Aug. 31), Amarin TV said.

 

Pol. Lt. Weerapong Boonthong, a deputy inspector at Phra Pradaeng police station, was notified of the accident at 2 a.m. and quickly sent Por Teck Tung Foundation rescuers and a Bangchak Hospital rescue unit to help the injured man, Mr. Phongthon Sarapat, 25, at the restaurant in Soi Suksawat 76, Bang Chak subdistrict, and he was rushed to the hospital.

 

The police team saw upon arrival that the bar counter had a gunshot mark on it with the bullet having been fired from behind it. They also found a white blood-stained T-shirt with a bullet hole in it.

Always have your finger on the trigger when unloading a gun.  Safety first.

Unloading your weapon behind the bar contravenes all hygiene laws surely?

"Waiter, there's a bullet in my soup."

[Moti24]

It seems that every man-child in Thailand carries either a gun or knife; even the school kids are playing along.

 

WTF is wrong with this place!

I firmly believe that Thailand has become one of the most violent places on Earth outside of a war zone. We've got this waiter with a gun behind the bar. A couple of days ago someone was killed because he drew something on someone's head. We recently had someone knifing someone to death for turning off the wi-fi, and another because a tv was too loud. Someone else caused panic by bringing a gun into a restaurant - as one does. Another was found to have a gun in a nightclub.

Seems to me very little point in having boards outside your bar saying no Drugs and Firearms , when the bar staff already have them

White blood-stained OK, but what colour was the T-shirt? 

[brianthainess]

Should have left a bigger tip.

[brianthainess]

He ordered a number 22 not .22 dumb waiter going down.

[KhunLA]

Unloading ... ????

 

'OK, mag is out, now how to get that round out that shouldn't be chambered ?'

 

2 ways ... choose wisely .... oops

Died in 2020 at the age of 89. I saw him once when I was visiting the BP building. If you wanted to invent the least likely looking person to cover Bangkok's nightlife it would be have been him, but there we are.

And let's not forget the policeman reported today as having kicked a female vendor in the face because she asked for full payment. A law enforcement officer, with his station then saying no disciplinary action would be taken.
