18 year old injured in East Pattaya Shooting



PATTAYA: -- An 18 year old passenger on a motorbike was shot in his left leg following an encounter with two other youths on a motorbike in East Pattaya early on Sunday Morning.

Police met the victim, Khun Wachira, at Banglamung Hospital where he received emergency treatment for the gunshot wound.

The victim explained that the shooting took place in Soi 25 off the Siam Country Club Road. He described how he and his friend, the driver of the motorbike, encountered two other men on a bike, travelling in the opposite direction.

The passenger on that bike produced a gun and shot at the victim and his friend. It appears, from the accounts of the victim and his friend, that neither was specifically targeted by the shooter whose single shot penetrated the left leg of the victim.

Just another day in Pattaya then.

If the bikes were travelling in opposite directions, presumably on the correct side of the road, how did he get shot in his left leg? Methinks I smell a rat, Watson.

Simple explanation, this is Thailand. Bikes do not drive on the correct side of the road here.
