I doubt we'll have to wait that long with tourism in the toilet from the coronavirus, and worldwide supply chains on meltdown. The supply chains feeding Thailand's manufacturing base, and accounting for millions of Thai jobs in imports, exports and domestic consumption. I suspect we'll be seeing a virtual stress test of the Thai economy in 2020. And I'm not forecasting a painless result. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) My bet is that we'd have never even heard about a crazy guy shooting on the air at 4:00 AM had it not been for the Korat incident. Drunk people do stupid things all the time, often in the wee hours. Mostly, the neighbors shrug it off and the cops pay a polite visit the next day with a warning. An apology, 500 baht, and a wai, and it's all good. But nowadays, everyone's on edge. Edited February 14, 2020 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think he started too early probably before there were enough people out yet to shoot. I think they said he started at like 4AM yesterday and it sounds like he probably chickened out because if he fired 20 shots with one of those riffles he could have hit people if he wanted to it’s not that hard you don’t have to be that skilled with it to shoot people at close range. I think he flipped out probably heard about the shooting up here last week and wanted to make his own statement I guess. Then it looks like he got out there and probably still wanted to show people that he was serious at least so he fired some ammunition but I think he realized it was harder than he thought to take a life that’s what it sounds like happened. I didn’t hear what kind of rifle he had but if he fired 20 shots I’m assuming it was some kind of an automatic rifle or maybe he just had a hunting rifle or something with a lot of bullets who knows. Next time if you start feeling like causing mayhem and carnage please consider a game of Grand Theft Auto no body really gets hurt it’s fake blood and no prison time. Just a tip.

True ''but'' this just does not happen here in Thailand, Europe USA etc but not here 2 incidents in as many weeks guy in Hungerford many weeks, I can not believe it, being brit I remember gunman Michael Ryan went on the rampage in the small town of Hungerford. Sixteen people were killed and 15 more were seriously injured in what was the UK's worst mass shooting. Thirty years later, the events of that day are rarely discussed by those affected.

I have a good friend who gets morbidly pessimistic and gloomy especially after a couple of glasses of red. Maybe try the white? Of course, it's a worldwide problem. But the effect is going to be worse in countries that already have fundamental problems like runaway family debt, high inequality, lousy education systems, and corruption. Not to mention that it's going to stress out countries who have tightly hitched their wagon to the rising Chinese star. Get addicted to billions of dollars of tourist and investment money coming from one country, and there are going to be withdrawal symptoms when that tap get shut off, even for a few months.

No one here has said it only happens here, always in crime news there is some peopl just have to write "this happens everywhee" not only Thailand buhu, this is a page about Thailand, we are discussing crimes that occurred in Thailand.
