Three students shot after asking for girls' numbers
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- Maybe this is why more men just hang together and wait for the ladies to approach them, although nine out of 10 probably wouldn’t get shot.

Three university students were shot this morning in front of a bar on Kaset-Nawamin Road in Chatuchak district after they exchanged numbers with women at another table.

Three students, all 21, from Kasetsart, Bangkok and Ramkhamhaeng universities said when they stepped out of the App-Radkaset bar, a pickup truck stopped in front of them, and a man in the back fired four to five bullets at them before escaping.

The three students each caught one bullet. They hailed a cab and admitted themselves to Vibhavadi Hospital. [read more...]

I wonder if its still Bangkok or Chicago in the 1930's ... Ridiculous ......and dangerous

[NeverSure]

Oh good. Blonde Thai girls in the bars now.

Thailand is incredibly dangerous and the statistic prove it.

[Costas2008]

Good thing, they didn't ask them to go out with them.......they would have been dead now

"Three university students were shot this morning in front of a bar on Kaset-Nawamin Road in Chatuchak district after they exchanged numbers with women at another table...a pickup truck stopped in front of them, and a man in the back fired four to five bullets at them before escaping."

Probably due to poor English skills as a result of the education system. The men in the truck misunderstood when the three men mentioned to the ladies that they wanted to get banged

2 iphones and a suitcase full of cash?

Are you a gigolo?

If you are unfortunate enough to have seen a typical Thai T.V. soap opera, you might have noticed gun wielding villains and heroes followed by 'boinnnnggggg' sound effects and childish humor in the same programme, or even the same scene. Draw your own conclusions.

How very different from my own dear days at Cambridge...

Thailand is getting worse by the year.

This generation of youths have brought this country into the darkest recesses.

This is the culture that the Thai elders are wanting to preserve?

If this was my own culture, I wouldn't be able to get away from it fast enough.

Instead of trying to make it harder for foreigners to come to Thailand, they should be making it easier and encouraging them to breed some brains into Thai society.

Well there's a choice involved in breeding brains into Thai society:

1) Take it back 1,000 years and start again, this time without the beating sticks.

2) Fully implement the laws and punishments applicable to all offences.

Personally, I'd go with the latter.

The problem is how many of the foreigners who come here who would be prepared to breed for the good of Thailand are of sufficient intellect?

3 students stepped out of a bar this morning????

What the <deleted> were they doing in a bar in the morning anyway

Surely, any improvement is welcomed. Then again... ... is intellect required, or an improvement in the general respect for others' well-being and safety?

I'd say many farang may not be the brightest of books, but they sure as hell respect others' space a bit more than the current Thai trend seems to indicate????

[laislica]

Bad, bad, but could have been much worse.

It could have claimed their lives, even the lives of innocent folk in range.

Are we sure that this was not just another rival Uni gang?

That they flirted with the girls may have had nothing to do with it!

This gang culture in universities and poly technics is dreadful and claims far too many young lives.

Please, General, catch and give big jail sentences to the perps.

Jail the whole group, not only the one with the weapon.

Punish them hard, make an example of them.

Repeat this for all future incidents.

When the penalties are strong enough and consistent, they will surely stop!

Nope, always been plenty of shootings and stabbings in Thailand.

Just the reporting is more "in yer face".

I think the reference to them being students was a general one not intended to convey the impression that they were engaged in studies at the time. Besides, apparently students don't wake up until the afternoon anyway.

They are 21 so I doubt they are on a curfew.

Survey shows Thai's mental health is in good shape

BANGKOK, 15 July 2014 (NNT) – Thai people’s mental health is said to be in good condition. However men are likely to have better overall psychological well-being, according to a survey from the National Statistical Office of Thailand.

But, but, but....

[Oziex1]

The bar staff misunderstood the order for 3 shots please.

Perhaps, just perhaps, they were enjoying a drink. Sometimes I enjoy a beer with my breakfast, I call it a livener. Since when did having a morning drink become a crime?

Yes , but even the farang village idiot would have more common sense than most Thais.

[Paulzed]

Shootings in Thailand are as common as Chigchock Shit.

Especially when it comes to boyfriends getting their noses out of place when someone e.g girlfriend is flirting with others.

[Emster23]

"nine out of 10 probably wouldn’t get shot." Boy that is a relief! So 1 in 10 chance of being shot? And that is supposed to somehow make people feel better? Even 1 out of 100 is unacceptable.

Every day the Thai soaps show violence and promote gun culture. Almost every character seems to carry at least a pistol. They are not good role models for the youngsters and it's about time the good General Prayuth's spotlight fell on them.

That will teach those upstart college kids to come into OUR bar and try to take OUR girls away from us...we will kill them all...we are proud to be the mentally competent males of Thailand...Ya hoo...!
