Gimme my chicken: Hungry customer trashes restaurant, gets shot
By Coconuts Bangkok



Hunger can make anyone cranky, but it’s usually not worth getting shot over.

CHIANG MAI: -- Thirapong Hiranyossapol, a 41-year-old Bangkok resident, got shot in the stomach during a brawl with the owner of Midnight Chicken, a famous fried chicken restaurant in Chiang Mai.

According to Tee Sae-ung, the 65-year-old restaurant owner who fired the shot, Thirapong and his friends came to his restaurant at 11pm last night and demanded he sell them sticky rice.

As the name helpfully suggests, Midnight Chicken opens at midnight. Tee told his customers that the restaurant wasn't open and went back into his house. Maybe Thirapong's stomach couldn’t bear the hunger. He started the rampage and threw Tee's food tray on the floor. Tee heard noises and grabbed his .38 revolver and fired shots to make Thirapong go away. [read more...]

It's a chicken restaurant, but I'm guessing the escalation was over the size of their cocks.

What is deescalation in Thai? Forget it.....

"famous fried chicken restaurant in Chiang Mai." Never heard of it.

You have now, the things people do for infamy.

Place is turning into Texas!

fired shots to make him go away but hit him in the stomach. They must think it's like on TV, a major shootout and

nobody ever gets hit, not even the huge glass window behind them.

Definitely a case of FOWL play !!!!!

Thailand.

Almost #1 for murder percapita

Almost #1 for road deaths percapita

Come one Thailand, you can do it!

[Lupatria]

So, was he throwing a food tray, or trashing the restaurant one hour before it opened?

Oft repeated on TV but just not tyre. Thailand ranks 100 something on the list according to UNODC.

"Come one Thailand, you can do it!"

"Around here it helps to breath [sic] before you bitch... "

Your signature comment says it all. It's also a good idea to breathe or take a breath before you manufacture self-serving data.

In any event, death rates per capita makes no sense.

They might be stated per 100,000 population or something similar. No published rankings for murder or death by firearm puts Thailand anywhere remotely near number one.

Guns.Guns.Guns.Thailand is third,after South Africa and Columbia for gun murders. In the UK you have to have a licence and ongoing police checks to own a gun.Guns .Guns.Guns. The man who invented the gun should be shot..Guns.Guns.Guns.

Civilian firearms per 100 residents: 16

Estimated civilian firearms (rounded): 10.000.000

These figures only show the registered small weapons firearms

Age structure Thai population:

65 years and over: 8.5% (male 2,516,721/female 3,022,281) (2008 est.)

Now do your math...

Makes me wonder how KFC has been serving chicken for so long, without a shot fired by the staff. However, if you do need to stop an attacker in his tracks, nothing does it better than a gut shot..... head shots are pretty iffy in a scuffly. Best to aim dead center.

[uptheos]

And this was BEFORE he maybe didn't get his small change.

[Jubes]

Got a New motto. Eat lead instead. Although the chicken would taste better:)

[Jim walker]

Come to Thailand we welcome all tourists shoot stab beat with baseball bat any way you like.

[bbbbooboo]

Lol.....what is sensible in Thai?

[Bagwan]

Fortunately the wound was not fatal and he made it safely to the hospital, where hopefully he was fed. Unquote

Death wish? Or just plain unvarnished stupidity?

[slipperylobster]

I bet those hunger cramps stopped, all of a sudden-like.

[phantomfiddler]

Great ad ! Chicken to die for Looks great, may your sales flourish !

Another stupid comment from someone who has no idea whatsoever of the facts. But why let that get in the way.

Just a little education for you. Thailand isn't even in the top 100 for murder per capita. It has a rate of 4.8 per 100,000, slightly more than USA who are on 4.7. So USA is pretty much on a par when it comes to murder.

United Kingdom 1.2

Australia 1.0

No. 4 for road deaths though.

[thailandbeachisland]

Every restaurant is famous for Thai if their friends told them :-)

Now do your math...

Those stats probably refer to legally registered firearms. The you have the 14 yr kids shooting their teachers, all the home made fire arms.

[Andre0720]

Well, one more reason to open up a new KFC...

[KuhnPaen]

What is deescalation in Thai? Forget it.....

Saying "jai yen yen" rarely works. If anything, it makes Thai people "Jai ron".

[A1Str8]

I am not surprised. If there is something I have learned in Thailand it's this: don't look for trouble because you are going to find it.

[alfieconn]

Does anyone know if the Restaurant is open tonight ?
