"The police suspect there is more to the story than this and will investigate further in an attempt to find out who the gang members are."

 

You can't pull the wool over these guys eyes.  Sharpest knives in the box these lads.

10 youths hanging around Dolphin Roundabout at midnight, "doing nothing much".

 

Shooting one by one is an inferior, less efficient way to cull the herd. 

 

Crashing motorbike without a helmet on, is still Numba 1.

Were you pissed or did they use silencers? Just joking, I'm just a bit further from you...

Thai teenagers without a future, nothing new here.

Another shootout news report! 

Good news or bad? I am beginning to get paranoid if I don't get my daily dose of reports of gunfights, slashings, child rapes and murders, school assassinations, street tourist head kicking, ladyboy snatches, jetski scams, tourist bus road deaths, tourist boat "accidents" and discriminate bombings. Thus I fear I could be missing out on something that I can't report back home to the media as good reasons not to come to Thailand.

Are you listening TAT or is Pokemon tourism too important at the moment?
