He was shot in his right chest area and the bullet passed straight through his body.

While he was dancing his foot struck the wing mirror of a passing motorbike?

[lucjoker]

He was dancing on the song : "Everybody was kungfu fighting....tititiriti..."

He wanted to kick the motordriver in the face ,but missed and hit his mirror ?

If victims ' friends find him ......(look at them ).... he will have to use his gun again.

So the sh*t-head passenger on the bike thinks that a wing mirror is worth someones life? Even if he has not killed anyone, he will be charged with attempted murder - so if convicted I hope he ends his days in jail and gets the living crap beaten out of him. Human garbage.

attempted murder for a clipped mirror...my god...thai men are like big children, give them a gun , they will kill you, give them a motosay and hopefully they will become a statistic

I am surprised was only one, the way so many retards acted last night,it's just too tempting to do something about it.

No regard or respect for anyone or anything, drunk to a point of blindness.

How does your feet hit a wing mirror when dancing? It sounds like it was on purpose, probably big noting himself to his friends. The twist was the guys on the bike were better armed and they weren't going to lose face, now everybody has lost.

I know these guys. They are real artists, and among the nicest and most chill Thais I've met in over fifteen years in Thailand. I can't imagine that this shooting was purposely provoked or deserved.

Have you met them after they have been drinking all day...possibly subsequent days?

I am not saying you are wrong, just there is a lot of alcohol fuelled problems over Songkran, and sadly, heavily tatted guys are not normally associated with 'nice and chilled out'.....

One reason why I do not partake of Pattaya Songkran.

They drink most days in the afternoons outside their shop... and hardly get up out of their chairs. Very chill. But, yeah I hear you. I avoid Pattaya during Songkran too, and who knows... maybe there was more than alcohol involved. Still, I'd be surprised. They may not be choir boys, but they're not thugs.
