It' s always a worry to see police sitting around drinking in a restaurants wearing guns in Thailand . Maybe there was one of the guys jealous of some of the promotions .

Actually, I have observed this with thai guys that get promotions or even are considered up on a hierarchic level. The one with the promotion will rub it in the face of the others. In jest or not, with a few drinks that could really piss off somebody with access to a gun. So your speculation deserves some merit.

Actually you see this at almost every aspect of Thai society. Thais trying to belittle others to feel good. Seems to be a major base of the culture from the amount of it that is on display everyday.

I think that promotions, moves, new jobs and other positive career events are celebrated pretty much everywhere. I don't know that it is rubbing anyone's face in anything.

If I recall the pivotal event seems to be something about someone cheating at a game of chance?
