Former Husband Shot Dead in Self-Defence Incident in Samut Prakan
Picture from responders. A man was shot dead in front of a house in Samut Prakan after an altercation with his ex-wife’s new partner, who claims the shooting was in self-defence. The incident occurred at around 22:30 on 26 January in the Phraeksa Mai subdistrict. Police were alerted to the shooting and arrived at the scene along with forensic teams and rescue units. The victim, identified as Mr Somkiat 42, was found lying unconscious in the driveway of a two-storey house. He had sustained three gunshot wounds: one to the chest, one to the right arm, and one to the left wrist. Despite attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at Paolo Samut Prakan Hospital shortly after. A semi-automatic 9mm handgun was found near the victim, with rounds remaining in the magazine. Six spent 9mm shell casings and two bullets were recovered from the scene. Witnesses and preliminary investigations revealed that Mr Somkiat had followed his ex-wife, Ms Juthaporn and her new partner, Mr Thitiwat 29, to the house. After arriving, Mr Somkiat exited his vehicle holding a firearm and approached the couple. According to Mr Thitiwat, Mr Somkiat chambered a round and attempted to aim the gun at him. Ms Juthaporn reportedly intervened in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. However, Mr Somkiat evaded her and continued his advance. In response, Mr Thitiwat retrieved his own firearm, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, from a bag in his car and fired multiple shots at Mr Somkiat. Mr Thitiwat stated he acted in self-defence and could not recall how many shots he fired. He then fled the scene in panic but later contacted police and surrendered himself at midnight, waiting at the entrance to the housing estate. Officers recovered Mr Thitiwat’s car, a Toyota Altis, which contained the firearm used in the shooting. The weapon, along with Mr Somkiat’s gun, was confirmed to be legally registered. Both weapons and ammunition have been seized as evidence. Witnesses, including neighbours, reported hearing six gunshots but did not hear any prior argument. Forensic evidence, CCTV footage, and witness testimonies are being reviewed to determine whether Mr Somkiat fired his weapon during the confrontation. Police have charged Mr Thitiwat with homicide, possession of a firearm, and discharging a firearm in a public area. Investigations are ongoing to confirm the sequence of events. -- 2025-01-27 -

Will Immigration take my bottle of duty-free away?
I know from personally experience that it is not a issue at Suvarnabhumi to travel with duty free on a domestic flight. As long the duty free is in the temper save duty free bag with the receipt visible you can take it in your handluggage. I travel like this as least 5 time a year (AMS-BKK-HKT on seperate tickets) without any issue. -

A rant about Thai driving.. I know.. Yaaaawwwnn
You can't get out of the way if you're stopped in traffic, or driving slow and straight when they get too close then bump into you because a scooter is harder to stay straight in, especially in moving traffic that's slow. People hitting you has nothing to do with your driving. I've avoided many here that thought cutting in front of me was a good idea. -
