Another one? Not safe to be a headman in Krabi. Also 10 rounds yesterday but he didn't survive. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/895998-village-headman-gunned-down-in-front-of-home-in-krabi/

This fits the headline I stumbled upon today:

"Thailand has highest reported rate of gun-related deaths in Asia"

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/thailand-has-highest/2527420.html

10 rounds and the target was hit in the arm and collar bone. Not even the Mafia can hire qualified people in this country.

perhaps next time not drink the laokao before the shooting ?

This fits the headline I stumbled upon today:

"Thailand has highest reported rate of gun-related deaths in Asia"

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/thailand-has-highest/2527420.html

"At 7.48 deaths per 100,000 people in 2013, the country sees more than twice the fatalities from shootings per capita than the United States."

I always wonder about the OCD threads on here about the USA written by people who are sitting in one of the most dangerous places in the world. Road deaths too... Knife murders...

Thailand is extremely violent right on the surface and it's just one of the reasons I choose not to live there.

Cheers.
