Tragic End to Songkran: Teen Fatally Shot in Phichit Province
UPDATE Son of Local Council Candidate Arrested for Fatal Songkran Shooting in Phichit Picture courtesy of Matichon. Police have arrested the 18-year-old son of a local council candidate in Wang Sai Phun District, Phichit Province, following the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old vocational student during Songkran celebrations. The incident occurred at approximately 23:30 on 16 April, near a bend on the bypass road leading to the Moonoi Hotel in Moo 3, Khlong Khachen Subdistrict, Mueang Phichit District. The victim, Thanachot, had been celebrating the final day of the Songkran festival with friends at “Khao Tang Road” in Khlong Khachen. After the festivities, he stopped his motorcycle to urinate, at which point an assailant approached and shot him in the left arm. The bullet penetrated his torso, and he later died from his injuries at Phichit Hospital. In the early hours of 17 April, at around 02:00, Phichit police, led by Pol. Col. Lakk Rattanathavorn and Pol. Lt. Col. Suphawat Phuna, apprehended the two suspects at a residence in Wang Sai Phun Subdistrict. The shooter was identified as Thanawat, 18, the son of a candidate for a municipal council seat in Wang Sai Phun. His accomplice and the motorcycle driver was identified as Phichyut, 17. Police seized a modified .38 calibre BB revolver used in the attack, which still contained a spent shell casing in its chamber. Officers also confiscated the grey-black Honda motorcycle used in the crime. Both suspects confessed to the killing. According to the initial investigation, the motive stemmed from Thanawat’s secret communication with the victim’s girlfriend. Thanachot reportedly confronted Thanawat online, expressing anger and threatening to take action. When Thanawat learned that Thanachot was attending the Songkran celebrations, he and Phichyut followed him to the event. After spotting Thanachot riding pillion on a friend’s motorbike, the suspects overtook the pair and waited ahead. When Thanachot’s motorbike approached, Thanawat fired a single shot at close range, causing the victim to collapse in front of his companion. The suspects then fled the scene but were later tracked down by police. Authorities have charged both young men with: 1. Murder 2. Illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition 3. Carrying a weapon in public without permission -- 2025-04-17 -
