Flashermac Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A Libyan man was shot dead and two Thai bystanders wounded during a brawl at a pub in Bangkok, police said today. Pol Lt Col Opas Kwansomkid, an investigative officer at Pathumwan police station, said the victims were taken to Hua Chiew hospital. Esam Ali Elhamadi, 33, later succumbed to his injuries. The two injured were Kittipong Pijarn, 26, and Katiya Attabutr, 30. Police, with the assistance from a witness, later arrested the alleged gunman, Ekethana Saengdokmai, and seized a pistol as evidence. Pol Lt Col Opas said the suspect testified that he and his friends got into a fight with a group of foreigners while they were all drinking at the Spicy Pub, Rong Muang Soi 1, in Phathumwan district. He said his side was outnumbered so he pulled out his gun and fired multiple rounds at Elhamadi. The suspect said Mr Kittipong and Ms Katiya were hit by stray bullets and were not involved with the fight. Police charged the man with murder and possession of a firearm in a public area. They took him into custody at Pathumwan police station for further proceedings. http://www.bangkokpo...ngkok-bar-fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Spicy, Rong Muang Soi 1 (at the intersection of Rong Muang Soi 1 and 5). 01:00-06:00 daily. A typical (sleazy and grim) "after-hour" club that gets busy after 02:00 and stays open till the early morning. There is a variety of music playing, depending on the DJ, including house and hiphop. Expect a mixed crowd including badly dressed older western men on the prowl, young (mostly male) tourists, prostitutes and katoey. Taxis get commissions, so most know about it and you might get a free ride. If you're still up for more partying after 06:00, continue the night at Swing next-door. 300 baht including one drink. Wikipedia doesn't think much of the Spice Pub. Anyone have any first hand knowledge? Sounds like the Arab brought a knife to a gun fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 5555....spent several nights and both places and find them ok. Swing run by the Police, or so I am told. The other place is SHOCK 39. Been there recently many times. Too many Indians and Nigerians though for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acockasian Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 When I first read the headline I thought this was about the "Arab" who has bought so much of Soi Cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
