Breaking: Tourists Panic as Teenagers Fight and Shoot at each other at a Crowded Restaurant in Pattaya; Police Search for Injured Person and Gunman

Pattaya, Chonburi Province – On October 30th, 2024, at 4:06 AM, R.T.O. Wuttikorn Plodprong, deputy chief of the Pattaya City Police Station, received a report of a shooting incident in front of the Moo Krata Baek Kap Din Sam restaurant on Petchtrakul Road in Pattaya City, Nongprue Subdistrict. The report was promptly relayed to Pol. Col. Nawin Thirawit, chief of the Pattaya City Police Station, who led a team of patrol and investigation officers to the scene.

Upon arrival, officers found tourists, bus operators, and local residents in a state of panic. The scene showed signs of a fight, including a damaged motorcycle, scattered belongings, and blood on the ground. Both parties involved had fled in separate directions before the police arrived.

Eyewitness Mr. Amnuay, 65, reported seeing a gunman approach alone and shoot at the injured group, believed to be foreigners. The injured individual fell to the ground before being quickly taken away by friends in a black Alphard van, whose license plate number remains unknown. The gunman had already fled the scene.

Initial investigations suggest the altercation may have stemmed from a dispute after leaving an entertainment venue. Some witnesses indicated that the injured person and the perpetrator were part of the same group, likely Thais, who argued and then engaged in a fistfight before the gunshot was fired. The incident caused locals and tourists to flee in terror.

This is a developing story and still under investigation.
