'New Year Party Invitation' Leads to Fatal Shootings
By Khaosod English

CHONBURI - A gunman reportedly opened fire on a group of New Year party-goers in Chonburi because he was angered by the way they invited him to join the party.

Two people were killed in the shootings, which took place at around 6.30 pm in front of a house in Phanat Nikhom district last night.

One of the victims was the owner of the house where the New Year party was taking place, police say, while the other victim has not been yet identified. Two more people were injured by the gunfire.

According to an eyewitness, the victims were drinking and celebrating New Year when a car passed by the party.

Starting to sound too much like the US.

New year is not until tonight. Has dear leader moved it forward as a GIFT for the Thai people.

[NongKhaiKid]

Loss of Face and access to a firearm. The Thainess the PM wants to gift the world. ?

[sjjmmi]

Thainess at it's best

[Freed1948]

Some nationalities are easily pissed off.

So " Hey you" can be considered an insult.

Guess I should kill at least 3 every day then.

I don't quite get how the driver slowed down enough to be hailed down. Sounds like he had a chip on his shoulder. A polite wai couldn't cure it, which is a shame. It sounds like an honest mistake, and nothing to get up in arms about. The fact the driver went away, stewed in his own angry juices for a while, only to return with a gun is just madness. What the <deleted> is wrong with people? I hope they find him before the police do and kill him.

[Greenhill]

If they didn't say 'krup' at least 4 times in the sentence, that's clearly grounds for killing him!!!!!!!!

[jacko45k]

He was in a hurry to get to his 'anger management' program.

Problem is you won't get out on 'bail'.

[Lupatria]

Discover Thainess in the land where there is wild west everywhere all year around.

Thanks for replying in my name, too.

I was about to write something similar. That attitude, a gun in my hand and enough ammo Thailand would nearly be an unpopulated country, regarding to the many times I have heard "Hey, you".

[Suffinator]

I would say 'Unbelievable' but it's not .... TIT

[bangkokheat]

my image of thais has been shattered, thank god its new years, time to forgive them in my new years resolution

[maidee]

Maybe he received his invitation in a sealed envelope instead of a note on a silver platter...Thainess at its best...

[A1Str8]

Apparently it was the guy in the car, the other shouted " hey you" at. So there's no need to ask. Plus now he's going to go to prison for being an idiot and shooting people. I guess he won't be so calm then. Not to mention he's a p@$$y too for getting out of the car only when he has a gun.

[Ulic]

Alcohol, guns, and A--holes, a deadly combination in Thailand.

Every day/week/month/year I start to worry about the general mental and emotional health of the population here a little bit more.

Perhaps a life's worth of Thainess repressed emotions and anger got to his delicate pampered ego and face.

That delicate ego and face has to restored and sedated, right.

The invitation may have been," you can come to our party if you pay back the money you owe me"!

[cloghead]

note to self...provide courteous valet parking when hosting private parties in the future
