Interesting. One armed with a knife and another with a pistol out for lunch on a normal day.

 

Isn't Krabi a tourist destination? Tour guide books and websites should update their travel advice that locals are armed with deadly weapons.

I wonder if the boss started the argument and shot first. It's hard to trust the news and the wealthy, powerful or connected person in most stories

Well I sure the cops will get to the bottom of this

One hell of a tea break

...a little severe....

 

...maybe he should have shared it...

Third world in so many ways
