Phuket fistfight loser gets even – with a pen gun
Eakkapop Thongtub


Pongchanasit receives emergency treatment after the shooting.

PHUKET: -- A 19-year-old was shot in the top of the head on Sunday afternoon (January 25), right behind Thung Tong Police Station.

The victim, Pongchanasit Umthaisong 19, from Wichit, was shot with a .22-calibre pen gun. He was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital emergency room.

The victim told police before passing out that he and an acquaintance had got into a brawl on the road behind the police station. The acquaintance lost, but as Pongchanasit walked away the loser pulled out the pen gun and shot him.

Luckily the bullet did not penetrate Pongchansit's skull and Vachira Hospital staff confirmed in the evening that an operation to extract the bullet went well and Pongchanasit is out of danger.

Police are waiting for him to recover to the point where he can tell them who his opponent was.

Amazing he have survived it but kinda sad & strange, more of mind buzzing how easily people just get shot here in the top of the head on a Sunday afternoon, right behind a Police Station...

[BeforeTigers]

Funny.
The minute they prove beyond all doubt that they can't handle themselves in a casual physical confrontation- these bitches immediately volunteer to be locked in a prison cage with animals fighting for survival.

A loss is a loss. You cant fix it retroactively. Pussy

Its the local way.

The loss of face is too great to walk away from loss.

Face is a cultural defect that needs to be eradicated.

[iReason]

"the loser pulled out the pen gun and shot him."

Some accurate reporting.

[A1Str8]

Another hoe with a gun.

[NeverSure]

If he'd had a real gun, that .22 cartridge probably would have gone clear through the victims head and taken out a big chunk of skull at the exit wound.

The .22 is small but it's deadly. The pen gun probably didn't have tight enough tolerances to put all of the pressure behind the bullet, and it was probably wimpy.

It's ironic to say, but the victim got lucky.

Thais have the 3rd highest gun murder rate per capita in the world.

[ball dip]

it isnt the loss of face, its the loss of the loss of fake face, they never had face. all the lowest class idiots bring up ''thai face'', its nothing but people lying to each to other, english teachers cant call on student that dont know the anser in class if there older then the kids who know the answer, he will simply loose face for being old, dumb, ill prepared and for not saving personal face.

they dont loose what they dont have, booze, ignorance, laziness, theese they face, and face them daily with thai style.

[maidee]

"right behind Thung Tong Police Station."

yes, thailand is a safe place for all

[oneday]

"...shot with a .22-calibre pen gun..."

Where can I get my Magnum .45-caliber pen gun. Didn't know they manufactured different caliber pen guns.

Some very crude homemade guns in Thailand, some have been 12 gauge shotgun singleshot made from two pieces of pipe. Just slide and Bang.

The police did not interfere with the scuffle out side the police station as they were too busy placing their bets as to which one would be the winner...

Umm, a .22 cal will not have an exit wound, the only thing a .22 will do up close is penetrate the skull and rattle around, not enough force to exit, tue SEAL's use these for that reason and also they are des quiet with a can on it ( can = suppressor), I know this first hand.

Thank you.

If you include ALL murders, Thailand have the 106th "highest" murder rate, just ahead of the USA at number 111.

Thailand is less dangerous than many people believe.

[eezergood]

Mention guns & watch the rednecks and 2 bob gangsat's come out and play.... thats not a real gun.

Pussy should learn to fight like what we did.......

Face, as hans mentioned, is the greatest handicap holding SE Asia back.....

[eezergood]

Not to mention all the ex special service people we have living on Phuket - but shhhh thats just beteween us

Why would an English teacher be bothered about loosing face ? the loosing face problem is a Thai thing

Since my Like option does not work ( hello TV) ; I agree with Hans and Eezergood. Face is highly overrated !

I preferred Murdock and Hannibal, and of course BA.

Only if you use subsonic ammo.

"Face is a cultural defect that needs to be eradicated." - as long as they are only eradicating each other because of it, I'm fine with it.

So the pen is mightier than the sword.

I'll take my chances in Thailand...

this report is in error as the dear leader has said there are no guns in thailand and the people are not allowed to own them!
