I just sat down at my regular 'haunt' for yogurt 'lasi' drink when it dawned on me there was a bit of a commotion outside - I had just missed the 'real action' - by this stage cops and first aid people were attending to a white guy (I assume the driver of the damaged car shown in these fotos). He was nursing a nasty blow to the head which by now was bleeding pretty badly. There seemed to be some confusion as to what had happened. I spoke to a cop who clarified things for me (he had sat next to my table so he could chat up a Japanese tourist). Seemed a group of about 4 Thais followed this vehicle. One carried an iron bar, another (according to the cop) had a gun. He said there was several shots. The car windows were badly damaged and the driver hit in the head with a heavy implement (by the bar or hammer I heard another witness mention). Looks like this was some kinda 'criminal gang' out for revenge or something. Best not to get in the wrong side of gangs in any country. I suppose the guy was lucky he didnt get killed.
