Hungry customer trashes Chiang Mai restaurant, gets shot

[laislica]

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

I know that you didn't really want an answer, but I have this fantastic Thai (speaking) English dictionary.....

I got it from http://paiboonpublishing.com/

It was not expensive but it has helped me both explain stuff with my wife and understand her better.

So I just Have to Share LOL:-

sensible adj. (cognizant) มีความรู้สึก mii-​kwaam-​rúu-​sʉ̀k

sensible adj. (conscious) มีสติ mii-​sà~​dtì

sensible adj. (perceptible to the mind) สัมผัสได้ sǎm-​pàt-​dâai

sensible adj. (reasonable) มีเหตุผล mii-​hèet-​pǒn

But, back to topic.

What does sensible have to do with anything?

Why are folk so interested in the stats of deaths by firearm, road etc.

What's the point?

TV seems to be full of very bored posters with little else to do.

Maybe this needs another thread? How bored are you?

The guy is 65 years old. Probably invested half his life in building up the restaurant. "Midnight Chicken, a famous fried chicken restaurant in Chiang Mai"

Here is a probable scenario. Some aholes from BKK arrive up north with their superior "I am better than you attitude". They get on the piss, pick up a couple of local girls, go to this famous restaurant (amongst Thais), demand immedient service even though the restaurant is shut, then start trashing the place after the owner tells them to come back later when he opens. Don't want to loose face to the lowly northerners. They treat the Esaan people with even less respect. Have come across this attitude numerous times.

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

From what I have heard it would be fitting to say - "Fancy fighting over a little thing like that"...................................

Spot on ! It happens all the time in the north, and around Issan, the arrogant BKK people head north and for some reason ??? think they have more power than the northern and Issan Thais and treat them like trash.

Used to see it a lot when I lived in Chiang Rai. As a result there was a lot of resentment up there when it came to BKK.

Thailand.

Almost #1 for murder percapita

Almost #1 for road deaths percapita

Come one Thailand, you can do it!

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.

Thank you. Always nice to hear a voice of reason. I am also agree, that for the most part, this is not a violent place. Of course the violent goombahs get all the media attention. But, I think the vast majority of Thais are peaceful people, and would not resort to violence unless they felt their lives, or their family were being threatened. But, does anyone think this midnight chicken guy overreacted? Shooting someone because they threw over a tray of chicken? Guess that will teach his customers to have more respect!

[elektrified]

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

This version of the story is slightly different than what was reported on the news. Doesn't really matter. But they did not say he "trashed the restaurant". He threw some food or something. Most people in C.M. who eat there know the owner and his family are a very unfriendly bunch.

correct me if I am wrong but discharging a firearm in this manner would warrant the death penatly in Singapore.

as referred in original story.

I agree. Even Russians are warning Thailand about their next boycott if they don't improve safety by all means (+ ... buses crashes/boat injuries/road accidents/outdoor activities/drug/alcool/AIDS/dengue/airplane crashes/ even ...Tsunami .....long list in Thailand !!!!!!!).

It certainly looks like it this guy isn't taking no shit from nobody.

Some Bangkok people are arrogant, they often pisses me off when they drive and doing shortcuts like going in the left lane (for left turning traffic) and they want to go straight and thus jumping the waiting line of cars.

Well the restaurant owner isn't doing his own business any good for sure and will likely go min 1 year in prison.
