A 14-year-old is arrested on suspicion of opening fire at the iconic Siam Paragon mall, officials say.
Thailand living the American Nightmare.
its more a thai nightmare about living american business as usual.
i don’t think so Thailand has some serious violence atm. Wasn’t there some police officer attacking a daycare with a knife or something? He killed like 30 people or something
Just been there a few weeks ago. Shitty luxury mall for rich shopping tourists I’m surprised someone even managed to get a weapon there considering its in the middle of the worst 5pm traffic in basically the whole Asia.
Not sure what the traffic has to anything - Siam Paragon is at the heart of Bangkok’s public transport system. Most people get there by train.
What is surprising is that a 14-year-old was allegedly the shooter and that he managed to get the gun through the metal detectors at the entrances.
Bangkok’s public transport is not any better. During peak hours everyones squeezed like a sausage if you can make it on at all lol
Mall metal detectors were always a meme and honestly the only thing that could make that shitty mall any more disgusting if it had a full blown TSA check at the entrance.
it’s pretty clear you’re not a doctor nor do you know what you’re talking about
Worst rush-hour traffic in Asia is a hotly contested title, but Manila wins fairly easily. One time I was there, it took an hour for my taxi to get out of the hotel grounds. Bangkok seems efficient in comparison.
Yeah I’ve heard that Manila is even worse though I haven’t been there myself. Honestly, many big cities in SEA really struggle with traffic because of shitty infrastructure. If it wasn’t for scooters I don’t think those places would be livable at all.
It may surprise you, but rich Thais exist too.
