Somchit said he and the Chinese tourists managed to flee from the attackers and seek help from police.According to Somchit, one of the attackers drew a handgun and fired several shots at him while he was running away, though the bullets did not strike anyone. Police confirmed that three bullet cases were found at the crime scene.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1421996571 -- Khaosod English 2015-01-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomthai Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So the focus is on illegal guides as opposed to gun toting nutters. Perhaps his music was crap but this is still over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasmus5150 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This is 100% staged by Thai Tour Guides, to get rid of the illegal competition. I can understand why they are angry, but this is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car720 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The pickings are getting thinner by the day and will continue to get thinner. and worse. But wait until all the off duty cops decide to get in on it as well. Not much in the way of tea money these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ALLSEEINGEYE Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 Wonder if these guides had any work permits because gang beating tourists is clearly a Thai only job here in LOS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So the focus is on illegal guides as opposed to gun toting nutters. Perhaps his music was crap but this is still over the top. The report says that the focus is on the illegal guides who shot at the Thai guide, the Chinese guides and those who were shooting are the same.

SiSePuede419 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 How loud could music on a smartphone possibly be, 555? I can barely hear mine above the traffic sounds. Where were they? In a smooth jazz lounge just chilling? How do you say "get a ghetto blaster (boombox)" in Mandarin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
