webfact Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Samui shootout leaves two dead, five injured SAMUI: -- A shootout broke out late last night in front of a famous entertainment venue, Camp Beer, on Koh Samui leaving two dead, a police officer and a security guard. Five were injured. They are two police officers, and three guards of the entertainment venue. Bo Phut police said the killed officer was Pol Lance Corporal Kachornsak Soisangwarn, a police officer at Bo Phut police station. He was just posted to the police station to work recently. The shootout happened at Camp Beer restaurant around midnight after the bar closed. Investigation revealed that the officer and two colleagues, all in plainclothes, had a drink at the bar, and engaged in a quarrel with a group of teenagers dining and drinking inside. Nothing happened until the bar closed and the two groups were asked by guards to leave and settle their dispute outside. But shortly after both groups left for talk outside, a brawl broke out and several gunshots were fired. Seven were shot and injured.

hEaDy Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Are you serious? All this talk about guns. This has very little to do with guns and everything to do with alcohol. Therefore, surely, learning why so many are addicted to alcohol will bring us closer to the reason for these deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well people get drunk in bars everywhere in the world (well almost). bar fights are common as well. The combination of drinking and carrying a gun in a lawless society results in people getting shot. Alcohol is a factor but the amount of gun crime in Thailand is way off of the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Bad to wear guns and drink – and just for info: Camp Beer is a fairly large bar & restaurant with live music mainly frequented by Thais; the venue is supposed to close at 2 am sharp according to military order – and thanks for the posted video that shows more of what happened, which took place outside at Camp Beer's entrance and parking area. The hospital shown in video is Thai International Hospital, but presumably both that and nearby Bandon Hospital, mentioned in The Nation's article, have been used, as there were several victims. Sad for the security guard's family, R.I.P., just doing his job, and the severely injured manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Bad news for bar owners. Your having a good night in the bar,playing pool and whatever and a couple of plod with side arms walk in.That clears a bar faster than shit off a shovel. I used to got to a bar in Soi Arroonatai off Pattay clang years ago.Playing pool in there one night,3 armed cops walked in and started playing on the next table.The staff were giving them drinks hand over fist.Didnt like it.Got out tout suite.Booze and coppers dont mix,specially if you are a ferang.
