Crime Chinese Man Shot by Compatriot Near Pattaya, Gunman in Custody
UPDATE Chonburi Police Chief Orders Crackdown After Chinese Gang Shooting Picture courtesy of SiamChon. The commander of Chonburi Provincial Police has vowed to take tough action after a violent shooting between Chinese nationals in a residence led to the discovery of a fully-fledged drug trafficking and weapons operation. Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat Jindakhwansanong, Chonburi’s top police officer, led a press briefing on 1 June, at Huay Yai Police Station to update on the case involving a Chinese criminal gang operating out of a home in Soi Khao Makok 6/4, Huay Yai sub-district, Bang Lamung district. The incident occurred when Mr Qiyang Song, 26, was shot in the right leg by Mr Ju Bin, 32, a fellow Chinese national. The victim sustained serious injuries and is being treated at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Attempts were made by other gang members to conceal the crime by dragging the injured man back into the house before fleeing the scene. However, Huay Yai police quickly tracked down the suspects, intercepting their white sedan just over three kilometres from the crime scene. Mr Ju Bin and two other Chinese nationals, Mr Wang Zhijie, 26, and Ms Zhang Junhan, 24, were arrested. All three were found to be overstaying their visas and attempted to dispose of the firearm by dumping it in a nearby pond. A follow-up search of the residence uncovered a cache of illegal drugs and firearms: • 3.22 grams of crystal methamphetamine (ice) • An unregistered handgun • 9mm and .38 calibre ammunition • Vape manufacturing equipment Police also searched three vehicles linked to the suspects. In a blue Mercedes-Benz, officers found: • 225.84 grams of crystal methamphetamine • 711 methamphetamine pills (yaba) • 165.83 grams of ketamine • A large quantity of vaping paraphernalia In the white getaway sedan, two designer bags were discovered containing Thai baht, Chinese yuan and US dollars totalling over 108,000 baht. Investigators expanded the operation, raiding a room in Soi Thepprasit, Pattaya. Two additional firearms, a pistol and a pump-action shotgun, along with more drugs were seized. Three more Chinese nationals were arrested, all of whom were overstaying their visas and tested positive for drug use. Police also retrieved a Honda CBR motorbike, previously used as a patrol vehicle, now traced to the same gang’s hideout. Although the vehicle had been officially decommissioned and sold in a government auction for 8,000 baht, officers are now investigating how it ended up in the possession of the Chinese gang. Preliminary investigations suggest the gang was involved in distributing narcotics exclusively to Chinese nationals within Pattaya’s nightlife venues. Despite initial claims from the suspects that the dispute stemmed from a 500,000-baht debt, police believe the real motive was internal conflict over criminal profits. All seven Chinese nationals involved, three initial suspects, the casualty and three others linked through further searches, face multiple charges, including: • Overstaying their visas • Illegal possession of firearms and ammunition • Possession of narcotics with intent to distribute • Illegal drug use Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat praised the swift work of Huay Yai officers and other cooperating agencies for acting within 24 hours to uncover the criminal network. He confirmed that this group had already been under surveillance and the shooting merely accelerated the police operation. In a final statement, the Chonburi police chief revealed plans to launch an extensive sweep targeting 1,500 Chinese nationals suspected of overstaying their visas and engaging in criminal activity across the region. “This is just the beginning,” said Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat. “We will track every financial trail, every firearm, every gram of narcotics and anyone, Thai or foreign, found to be connected will face the full force of the law.” Adapted by Asean Now from SiamChon 2025-06-02. -
