Popular Post Grumpy one Posted August 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 The sound of sirens turned a few locals into wanting to be police inspectors, my wife and her friends included. They scurried off down the road camera's at the ready. Not long after all returned with sad faces, when asked why sad --- No dead bodies to see Welcome to the Land of Gore 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I was going to make a dismissive comment, but it seems we are getting a violent murder murder at least once a month now. We had the shooting of the seafood restaurant owner at the start of the month; four bullets to the head, chest, hip and arm while he was in bed; The fellow who had his face bashed in and was found in his pickup truck in a staged crash by his wife and her friends; And the two men who were shot near in the Bo Khaem canal. I always used to think of Cha- Am as a sleepy town where the biggest excitement was the weekly expat card game where saucy language was used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to think of Cha- Am as a sleepy town where the biggest excitement was the weekly expat card game where saucy language was used. I think you will find is always been there it's being reported more. In the sleepy village I used to live in there were murders almost annually "shootings and stabbings". Nearly all Thai Male ego related with one drug related and one poor 15 year old kid who liked the wrong girl "shot in the back of the head". Nearly all the murderer's never saw a day in prison opting to pay death money. Once you take off the rose coloured glasses and scratch the surface you would rightly be very concerned especially now with the big target of 400 to 800k cash on expats backs. It wont take long for this penny to drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawairat Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Witnesses(heard) a shooting there 12 years ago at a beach festival. Liked the place as a stopover whilst heading north quieter than HuaHin. Now we only stop there on weekdays too many Bangkok revellers on the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
