Popular Post monkeycountry 2,112 Posted February 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 Notice in the video from channel 3 how calm the young guy who shot him in the head is both during and after. I bet this is not his first murder. I also bet they confessed hoping to get the usual 500 baht fine lowered to 250 baht. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
wowfactor10 288 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Will the Thai guy still get back his own gun that he planted in the hands of the Turkish guy ? Is this bar now closed? Normally in other countries a bar like that would not be allowed to open again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
muratremix 606 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Straight out murder then by a couple of numbskulls.Who walks into a bar ( forang ) tooled up with a pistolIf you ask me this Turk was a menace and probably played with fire and got burnt I am sorry but more to this story than what is written and it ain't murder If someone specially a foreigner was to come into my place of business and start trouble and i could see he was tooled up then should I let him bully and intimidate me in my own bar ( if I was thai ) in my own country Some people just read a comment without a clue People Don't just shoot people out in the open without some sort of argument I reckon if he wasn't carrying a gun he would will be here today He wasnt carryng a gun. They put in his hand after they murdered him. What part of coverup story you did not understand? So he was drunk and made a scene, solution is to shoot him in the head? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
muratremix 606 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If they'd only said the Turk was threatening them and so they shot him, two months in jail punishment, maybe no jail time. I really don't blame them for shooting an armed drunk that is intimidating them. There was no gun? Hello? You read the article? That gun belonged to one of the two murderer thais!

Is this bar now closed? Normally in other countries a bar like that would not be allowed to open again. Solo bar will not be closed, as it is owned by well connected locals. It has been around for many years and used to be located 200 meters further down the small soi it is located at now. Not surprisingly the old location has been turned into a Thai boxing stadium, run by the same locals. Over the years solo bar has been the scene of several shootings, including at least one murdered police officer, and alot of armed fights on top of that. Most of the trouble involved local thugs associated with solo bar in one way or another. Most expats know solo bars well deserved reputation, and therefore stay far away from the place. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Who walks into a bar ( forang ) tooled up with a pistol If you ask me this Turk was a menace and probably played with fire and got burnt I am sorry but more to this story than what is written and it ain't murder If someone specially a foreigner was to come into my place of business and start trouble and i could see he was tooled up then should I let him bully and intimidate me in my own bar ( if I was thai ) in my own country Some people just read a comment without a clue People Don't just shoot people out in the open without some sort of argument I reckon if he wasn't carrying a gun he would will be here today What about calling the cops mate? Hey listen, there is a Turk coming in here every night intimidating us with a gun. I'm pretty sure the RTP will be happy to arrest him and throw him in jail and then deport 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sweatalot 9,199 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 At least and last RTP did take a stand and arrested the curlprits. Job well done . Ensuring proper justice will for sure make thailand a safer place, that's what I believe. as already mentioned this guy was obviously a thug In my books walking into the bar making demands with a gun in his belt and showing it (probably not the first time) is as good as taking it out and pointing it - although that part of the story is somewhat unclear as to whether they new he was carrying or not what sort of place would Thailand be if every falang or wannabe falang thug was walking around with a gun hanging out of their waist band - I for one would not be living here In saying that - the bar manager should have called the police and let them deal with it "In saying that - the bar manager should have called the police and let them deal with it " Absolutely "what sort of place would Thailand be if every falang or wannabe falang thug was walking around with a gun ... " think about all the guns that Thais have ! I remember the former government talked about 10 Million legal guns And don't forget the illegal ones - may be even more how often do we read about people shot dead even for minor reasons Link to post Share on other sites

So based on what u telling me that bar should have been closed years ago.Instead its still open and killings do continue. Especially in this last case where bar staff shooting to death a customer there is no legal ground for this bar the be open ever again. Have swat team move in revoke licenses and close it down simple.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Trexpat 97 Posted February 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I see so many comments looks like anti Thai politics anti Thai way of rule way of life. Why are you lot still here if it's that bad. Don't make any sense???? I could not agree more.......I have actually said that directly to a drunk in a bar who is bemoaning all things Thai. I asked the question " are you short of money, if so I will gladly lend you some money to fly home". More than once!!! The police here may be ineffective compared to other countries but that is the way it is, many things are very different to the countries we come from and that, in most cases, is exactly why we are here. If you cannot remember the reasons why you came then I suggest it is time to move on, I hear Panama is great for expats (not to mention it is a very very long way away) so why not consider going forth and make yourself disappear.

northernphil 893 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 How stupid can one be to work at a bar both manager and security that stands around doing nothing and not know where the CTV s are in the surrounding areas? Also why both the manager and security's carry guns? Is this the norm in that area? Just what i thought. The manager and more so the security guard seem to have no idea where the cctv is. I think I will wait for the movie to come out , Tarrantino as the Turtk and maybe Bob 'oskins ( where he still with us ) could of been the security guard. Link to post Share on other sites

The gun was planted and it wasn't his. Why plant a gun if he already had one. It was cold blooded murder, whether the Turk was a scum or not. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Alwyn 3,480 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 They will be rewarded with attitude adjustment bail and a slap on the wrist as part of "save tourism's face" for a little tea money fine.... Wanna bet? I'll take that bet. There are 5 families (descendants of the 5 the original families on the island) that run the island and they are very protective of their tourist industry on the island, they understand where their money comes from. They will throw these two under the bus and rightfully so. This will be the decision of the older family members. These two slags will get what they deserve (in fact I'm kind of surprised they're not floating around in the sea minus their heads) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
