HUA HIN — Love guns? Love using said guns to blow the hell out of the undead? Bored of doing it in countless video games?

Then get thee to Hua Hin, where a sort-of grown up army brat has put a Day Z twist on wargaming at Siam Milsim, a zombie-killing paradise for warnerds and gamenerds alike to rejoice in.

On Nov. 14, nine hours of zombie warfare will play out there at a special “Zombie Infection” event.

The premise, as they say, is simple:

“Rebels have created a virus and are preparing an army of zombies,” it reads. “The world needs you to join our special forces unit, kill the enemies and exterminate the zombies before the virus spreads.”

The zombies will show some emotion.

[mcdiddly]

Oh .. and just to clairify...

"The word zombie--in Haitian it is "zombi"--means "spirit of the dead." Voodoo folklore contends that Bokors, Voodoo priests that were concerned with the study and application of black magic, posessed the ability to ressurrect the deceased through the administration of coup padre--coup padre is a powder that is issued orally, the primary ingredient of which is tetrodoxin, the deadly substance of the notoriously poisonous fou-fou, or "porcupine fish." According to lengend, "a zombi(e) is someone who has annoyed his or her family and community to the degree that they can no longer stand to live with this person. They respond by hiring a Bokor..to turn them into a zombi(e)." (Keegan, www.flmnh.ufl.edu)"

Us americans only sesatonalized it in books and movies.

[northernphil]

Looks like just another night in Pattaya.

[Mudcrab]

And who has made, and continues to make millions. Not the Haitians.

[TheCruncher]

Great, it seems not enough anymore that tv readers are inundated by ads, that we now also have to disguise ads as news articles.

[ggt]

They should get the Hua Hin ex-pat's chess club involved...they appear to have been infected for years...

Is that meant as a compliment or insult? Yeah, Americans also waited for Haitians to establish the internet too, but they didn't seem interested. Same with PC business. You are really over reaching on that particular American slam imho.

merely passing comment.

Bram Stoker wrote the Dracula novel. (and yes it was make believe)

The US made 'True Blood' and has made multi millions.

edit to add; Bram Stoker was Irish, not Haitian . just want to clear up any potential confusion.

Jealous...?

[rethaier]

What a childish, stupid idea.

Agree totally.

Total YUK, and has "infected" Oz like Halloween.

Even blank rounds can kill at close distance. Just wait for that one. Like in paintball no head shots or firing within 5 metres.

[farangmick]

Childish, yes. But my kids would love it.

Dracula wasn't a Zombie. He dressed better. And he didn't eat the brains.

How can we have a serious discussion if you're not going to check your facts??

[NickJ]

Those British actors on the cast of The Walking Dead do a great job.....

[ableguy]

How will we know who is zombie and who is Thai man?

Tight fitting brown uniforms with para wings on the chest and a pistol on the hip, usually sat on a cheap motor cycle..
