trooper Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just read from another discussion board that two men were shot dead less than half hours ago infront of MBK. There was a complete chaos and two dead bodies lying on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damen Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 First the market shooting and now a shooting at MBK? Replace MBK with Mike Shopping mall and you'd have all the Pattaya bashers commenting on how dangerous the place is. Just goes to show that assholes are found everywhere.

Flashermac Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Either that, or the country is starting to come a bit unfrazzled. p.s. Nothing on The Nation website yet. It's usually pretty fast with the news (in fractured English). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Anything in the news about this? It was a jellousy drama, a thai guy shot his woman who worked in MBK. Sad that they keep this kind of information away from the news. There has been many bomb alerts in MBK lately too. Last time the bomb squad was there on tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 A lot of checking for bombs everywhere these days. Maybe they know something we don't? Got the car checked going into the Bangkok Bank HQ car park last week. Checked under the car with mirrors by the guards at the Bank of Thailand. I also saw security checking the bags Thais were carrying when they were going down the escalator to the passage under Asoke and to the underground. More checking visible around the Skytrain too. Wonder if they are worried more about Muslims or politicians planting bombs. p.s. Seen nothing about any MBK shooting in the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 This shooting might have been in the Thai papers. Sometimes the Thai papers get a little carried away with all of the gory shit. And how many farangs really want to know what goes on amongst Thais? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I didn't see anything in Thai Rot about the Brit being killed in Hua Hin, which is surprising. Haven't looked for an MBK shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Here it is. Seems a 39 year old man from Nakorn Sawan came to Bangkok to persuade his estranged 23 year old wife to return to him. When she refused, he shot her and then himself. Murder-suicide. Thai Rot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krml Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 This would be a typical night in Baltimore, MD USA. God I hate it here. I wish I was in BKK right now. It is still about a 1000x safer than walking the streets of Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, "I also saw security checking the bags Thais were carrying when they were going down the escalator to the passage under Asoke and to the underground." They've been doing this for months now, at every station. It's a complete and utter joke and all it does is cause delays. The guards wouldn't recognize a bomb unless it was build as an old-fashioned alarm clock stuck to a bunch of sticks of dynamite. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
