Crime Gunman Kills Five at Or Tor Kor Market Before Taking Own Life
UPDATE Gunman Kills Five in Bangkok Market Rampage Before Taking Own Life Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A mass shooting unfolded at the Or Tor Kor Market (OTK Market) in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district on 28 July, claiming the lives of six people, including the gunman and injuring two others. Authorities have confirmed the shooter was a 61-year-old Thai national identified only as Mr. Noi, a former fruit vendor at the market. According to police reports, the attacker hijacked a taxi from the SC Park Hotel area on Pradit Manutham Road at midday. During the journey, he allegedly held the driver at gunpoint, declaring his intent to shoot a security guard at the market. Upon arrival at Gate 1 of OTK Market, the assailant immediately opened fire on three security guards stationed there. Eyewitnesses and fellow market vendors stated that the gunman then moved deeper into the market in search of his wife, with whom he had a long-standing history of domestic conflict. Failing to locate her, he shot and killed a female vegetable vendor, known locally as “Auntie Tu”, before turning the weapon on himself. He reportedly sat on a bench opposite his wife’s fruit stall before firing a fatal shot to his right temple. Four security guards and one vendor were killed in the attack. Two women were injured and remain in hospital. The attacker, who ultimately took his own life, had not been seen at the market for several months prior to the incident. His wife had continued to run their dried fruit stall alone. Witnesses described Mr. Noi as a hot-tempered individual, with one vendor saying he had exhibited signs of emotional distress and resentment following marital problems. The suspect also previously worked as a security guard at the same company as some of the victims. According to the suspect’s wife, the primary target of the rampage was a guard named Mr. Nhan, with whom her husband had a personal grievance dating back to 2019–2020. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom told reporters the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are examining the scene and interviewing witnesses to piece together a full motive and timeline. Police have recovered the suspect’s firearm and confirmed that he acted alone. The market shooting has shocked the local community, with many vendors expressing grief over the loss of their colleagues. Humanitarian activist “Kan Jompalang” has announced compensation of one million baht for the families of each deceased security guard. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-28 -
