webfact Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Chiang Mai official admits shooting two men By The Nation The assistant chief of a Chiang Mai sub-district shot one man dead and critically wounded another during a heated argument late Saturday. Anon Chainoi, 51, of Tambon Makhunwan in San Pa Tong district surrendered to police and confessed to the double shooting. Pairoj Promma, 24, died at the scene. Wissanu Dokkhiao, 22, is in hospital in critical condition. Anon said had once arrested Pairoj and Wissanu over drug-related offences and came across them again on Saturday night, walking along a street and appearing intoxicated. He said they lunged at him and a quarrel ensued. Fearing for his safety, Anon drew his weapon as a warning. “But they dared me to shoot, saying that if I were ‘cool’ enough I should fire,” Anon said. “I fired two shots out of rage.” He fled the scene to regain calm but then decided to turn himself in at San Pa Tong Police Station.

Police in Thailand always have a gun, but nobody gives it to them, they have to buy their own. Most court officials are also armed 24/7. I know several Thai lawyers in CM, they're always armed.

Thai police don't usually arrest Thais smoking anything, but they often grab the youngsters selling Yaba in car parks.

Perhaps they were never convicted of anything and their being pissed at the cop was entirely justified because he arrested them falsly in the past.

CharlieH Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If he wanted to warn or deter them or prove a point why not shoot in the legs or the arms ? Another case where we I doubt we will hear what happend to the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is not a policeman, he is a 'Assistant Chief of a Chiang Mai Subdistrict.' Why on earth is a government official or whatever title he may have doing roaming the streets at night with a loaded gun? He clearly, by his own words and actions on the night concerned, totally unfit to be anywhere near a firearm unsupervised. This will really help the tourist industry. Not.
