webfact Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Gunmen attack Chuvit’s hotel BANGKOK: -- A motorcycle gunman fired several shots at the Davis Hotel owned by former Bangkok MP Chuvit Kamolvisit early Tuesday, causing damages to glass windows.The attack at the hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 24 at 2.00 a.m. today prompted the former massage parlour king to come out with his five-round riot shotgun and declare he will never yield to any threat to his life and property.Five gunshots hit the glass panes at the entrance to the hotel’s restaurant but caused no injury to customer.Chuvit said he would report the gun attack to Thonglor police station late today.He said he still did not know the real motive to the attack but admitted that in recent days he has criticised the leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee Suthep Thaugsuban constantly on his Facebook page “I’m No. 5″ and this might cause dissatisfaction among the PDRC supporters.He also said CCTV camera at his hotel captured the gunman riding on the pillion of a motorcycle firing shots at his hotel.He also said this was the first time he was attacked since the start of the political turmoil.He added that from now he has to stay alert of future attempt but declared he never fear for any threat and was ready to retaliate in self defense.Full story: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/gunmen-attack-chuvits-hotel/ -- Thai PBS 2014-03-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A charismatic former MP who has dared to criticise the almost beatified PRDC gets his hotel shot at by mororcycle gunmen, yet you are all desperately trying to pin the blame on anyone but the Dear Leader's mob. Now, if he was a yellow shirt supporter, you would be falling over yourselves to blame the red shirts.

Popular Post bkkbarbara Posted March 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2014 Two thoughts come to mind. First, I seriously doubt he's on the top of Suthep’s or anyone's worry list. Second, the guy's like a D-list actor, and he's got to keep his name and face out there somehow. Further, to the person who described him as a “charismatic former MP”, you’ve set the bar way too low for both charisma and MPs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacWalen Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 You can act tough but when people shoot at it is hard to ignore. The man must be scared for sure. To have so much money and die for politics wouldn't be a good deal. Life in Bkk is great, you can have all the pleasures and fun you want. It takes only one bullet and that's it, game over. Of course guests definitely want to stay in a hotel that has so much action taking place. What next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bino Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 My Man! I'm glad to see they missed the next PM that should be voted in by direct democracy! I concur - If I could vote, he would get mine. Is he corrupt and amassed his fortune in a sleazy business? You could say so. However, if it wasn't him it would be some other guy providing this service in a country where there is a huge market for it. Supply and demand in action. About his corrupt activities... you have to realize he is coming from the opposing side of the problem. He is not on the take, but rather has been paying the fat cats for a long time. It is no surprise that he is not afraid of anything. I've heard it told that he has kept meticulous records of his cash payouts, trays full of Rolexes and provisions of services "in kind". He knows the dirty secrets and kinks of all kinds of people. All of the fat cats, politicians, police, high ranking armed forces and anyone else who has received his "gratitude" in the past are probably shit-scared of him now. As a prime minister, he is probably one of the guys who could keep all of the fat cats in check, and has the balls to stand up to anything and take it head-on without pulling any punches. I hope that I live to see the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder corruption is still so rife in this country if people think like you This guy is a second Thaksin, ready to kill everything and everybody, just to be sure he doesn't have to share the money.

Rather looked surprised/angry/humiliated. Basically he came to get some media coverage and the demonstrators wouldn't have none of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
