A Thai teen suspected of carrying out a mass shooting in a Bangkok shopping mall has reportedly been charged with murder. The attack, which happened on October 3, 2023, killed a Chinese national and another from Myanmar and left five others injured. The shooting came amid efforts to revive the country’s tourism industry after the pandemic. As part of those efforts, Thailand announced visa-free entry for visitors from China and Kazakhstan. Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said he called the Chinese ambassador to the country to apologise over the incident.

Please impose life imprisonment to him. Otherwise it is not fair to the innocent dead women. They have family to feed, but he just shattered their families.
Just give a death sentence already
impossible he's too young
@@techinnuntawattanasirichai1233in USA many minor get life sentences
@@randomworld4662 in usa, theft under $950 is practically legal.
Death hang or get riffle shot execution
The terrorist was wearing a hat with an American flag.
Now I know where he learned about mass shootings
This will 100% be forgotten and repeated again.
Sad but facts.
It is called humanity
His parents are rich and are professors. The news in Thailand already said he will not be jailed but counselling.
Thai justice system is a joke
Like all massacres, sadly
the world is drowning in depression and poor mental health...
If he cannot be executed for his murderous deed the only thing left to do is to keep him forever in a heavily fortified mental institution for the rest of his life regardless of his recovery process. He said he has a darker personality and voice within him that made him do it. He cannot be freed. Who know when his dark personality and voice in him will overtake him again once more in life. He is too dangerous to be set free.
For those who fight for human rights. This is the only 2 options available for him and bleeding heart like you. Either end his life or let him live out his days like this. I prefer the first choice. It easier for him and fair to those he harmed.
His parents are rich and are professors. The news in Thailand already said he will not be jailed but counselling.
Suspect is when you don't have enough evidence or witnesses to prove the criminal is guilty. This guy murdered 3 people with plenty of witnesses in public. Skip the trial and execute, done.
He will not be in jail or even close to it. This is not America. He is scheduled to remain at the juvenile rehabilitation center until the age of 18 and then be freed. His parents may decide to send him to another country, which I hope is America. When people forget everything about him, he will return with a new identity.
The parents of the killer have a lot to be blamed. He was not supervised despite of his medical condition. He seemed to have the freedom and money to do whatever he wanted. If the law is not going to punish this boy accordingly because of his age n medical conditions, then the parents will need to be. They have no excuse.
That is collective punishment. It is unfair and unwise.
a lot of americans will disagree with your post.
naturally europeans, australians, south koreans and japanese will also disagree because they all do what america says.
@@kyunhwoarang it's part of their fault if this went like this to begin with.
@@selenastratsukino7695 so what is the crime of the parents that dont apply to your parents then?
You advocate punishment just like the 14 years old did.
his parents only cared about making money so he was reallt autstic and introverted
We grieve for the loss of the lives of the two innocent ladies, as well as for those who were injured. If you are a would-be gunman copycat who happens to read this post, please consider the pain and suffering of those who are left behind. Maybe you should reconsider your plans and seek help. Taking other people's lives only worsens your own problems.
true that. 😞
Was the shooter wearing an American flag hat
American flag, culture, and hobbies.
Gotta keep up the narrative.
Yes and check his underwear also.
@@trevorsmith2793😂😂😂
@@trevorsmith2793
Maybe he also has the USA flag tattooed on his bananarama. 😂
So tragic fir the 2 lady victims. May they rip🙏🙏
If he is not sentenced using "someone told him to', people will be very angry.
FYI - almost always the same suspect: male, mental problems, solo, wearing black or tactical military type gear.
So next time you're in a crowded place you see a suspicious guy by himself, wearing black or camouflage pants etc- watch his actions and his hands carefully and or even better yet: just run! lol
just going to keep my distance from the guy wearing the american hat in thailand lol
I dont believe in age limit for capital punishment nor do i accept mental illness as a line of defence in court. This type of people regardless of age and reason have to pay for what they did with their life.
Where are his parents ?
Rich parents..
So scary. Very scary
He is from rich and well respected family, he will walk free in the name of mental health pretext
Why haven’t vigilantes come after his parents?
@@doomd1816No such vigilantes exists in Thailand.. I think..
Me and my ex husband were robed blatantly in a bar in Patpong by the bar owners and his gangs. Watch out when you are in Thailand
that's horrible. did they let you keep the robes?
How gun can be buy online, and mental I'll child without parents
Very scary!
Well I feel that we should have empathy for the victim suffering from mental illness (from what they described, it sounds like schizophrenia, which is one of the most serious mental illness around), I hate that they’d probably use this as a defence for everything. This is such a sensitive and sad issue, and we should probably start with gun control for EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE
Its hard to correctly diagnose some1 having mental illneses especially at young ages anyway so yeah.fking guilty
If this happen in your country , what would be the punishment? What country do you live in?
Should be locked up for life
death penalty u mean?
@@curtin-hammett you can't execute mentally ill People
He's a kid
Fewer Chinese holiday in Thailand despite the visa exemption. It was reported only about 600 thousand Chinese holiday in Thailand during the golden week compared to 1.9 million for the same period before the pandemic.
Maybe what you mean is tourist?
Death penalty or life sentence with hard labor
it's getting worst that the murderer were still a youngster... meaning that the parents ain't taking care and teach their childrens well
That teen is a monster and a danger to society.
If really mental health he will be out in no time.
He bought the gun ONLINE???? 😱
Real gun can be easily be obtained here in this country. I've once jokingly trying to ask around where to to get a piece and within a couple of hours someone came and offered me with the price for about USD100. Moreover, this country is not safe to travel alone anymore as there are a number of foreigners/individuals who can speak English can be kidnapped and transported to Cambodia to be sold as human organs.
Why did he do it?! How can a 14 years old have this much hatred against society.
dead sentence to him
Is gun legal in Thailand?
1 Chinese woman and 1 Myanmar woman were killed. 😮😮😮😮
When i was a teen I used to spend my time playing offline/online games and star gazing via telescope.
Mental health is the real killer
Stricter rules at the entrance of the mall. How come they didn't detect the sh0@ter was carrying a gun??
This shooting can happen anywhere but at what frequency.
Thailand is a safe country.
Tourist will be a bit nervous in their tour but things will return to normal in a month or two.
@tanchye1720 Thailand isnt as safe compared to East Asia.
@@yerri5567As a Japannese live in Thailand over 15 years. Thiland still safe compared with other Asian countries.
@@yerri5567Some random landmine:
@@SanyHand I said compared to EAST Asia, not Asia.
@@yerri5567 North Korea ?
It can happen anywhere in the world, this kind of incident ever happened in France, US, at the subway station..how do we know that we will be safe outside?, btw RIP to the victims. And hope that Thai government will improve about safety policy their best.
It is not hard, the golden rule is tighten up owning gun policy's. Thailand is also one of many countries have loose owning gun laws; because of this there is alot of gun incident happened at neighbors country(where they obtain the gun illegally from Thai).
This kind of shooting happens everyday in USA 😂
Why? Just why? He was an excellent student apparently before all of this, no?
Thai pm only did one thing which is apologise..nth else.. sure will happen again if nth is done. Should ban guns like in singapore..
I'm kid no problem I could get away with it without heavy punishment
That's what you get if you legalize using marijuana in your country.
In Thailand, all kind of hard drugs are rampant even before they legalize marijuana (which is kinda mild imo)
The family members he killed will hunt him down. He won't see 16 thank KARMA🎉
The shooter had ties to the American embassy.
@@ramatgan1 I hope his parents will send him to America after spending a short period in a juvenile rehabilitation facility.
How is there a 14 year old gunman?!?!
It was said that it's a modified gun he purchased online. I am guessing it's similar to the case in Japan? A modified bb gun maybe
That's Thailand for you
Guns everywhere
@@AmItheWalrus I expected to be america
@@vertexvortex5 Everything is legal in Thailand, money talks here ...
I thought only in America
Nowadays MZ Very smart.. maybe he faking he got sick or mental issue to avoid juvenile jail ..Thai government better ask psychological double check his sickness if not reallly not fair to all the victims family
He knows how to modify the gun I am sure he knows mental illness can get him off. In this case he is too dangerous to be free again. Should be locked up forever.
He still under juvenile law protection.. I don’t think he can lock him to jail f4
Could this be a form of dissatisfaction Thailand's Gen Z?
The existing government continues to maintain military dictatorship by eliminating the democratic process where the winner of the Thai general elections in May 2023 is eliminated by money politics in Parliament.
nothing change, not just lots of thai families have military backgrounds, its very easy to accest guns and improvise firearms in thailand
unsafe country for tourists.
POOR GOVERNANCE FOR THE NEW PRIME MINISTER
Mental illness card again
its planned before. He has to be punished to died so other people couldnt repeat same actions.
He didnt take medicine treatmentof mental , but he can modify gun ?
Just ban guns already
"Huy tangina!"
Mind control?
Exactly what I thought!
Isn't he schizophrenic?
I thought only in America that they have this
That's what the media wants you to think. Judging by some of the comments, people always want to deflect the problem to America for some reason.
I will bet money the shooter was an ER type of guy.....
In thailand? That is really bad
What happen see USA flag hat
Bruh
Umm where and how he got a gun? I know he have mental illness but about the weapon it kinda weird to have.
Guns everywhere in Thailand
Land of a deadly smile .......
Probably inspired by US mass shooters as he was wearing cap with US flag. Thailand is also second most Americanized country after Phillipines in SEA.
He is Chinese thai
@@isami3811 Perhaps...
Of course he would in order to keep up the narrative.
@@isami3811More than half the country are Thai Chineses
@@isami3811 FUNNILY ENOUGH EVEN ONE THAI CHINESE SAID HE HATED BEING CHINESE
Chinese submarine is sinking 😂😂
The punishment should be firing sqad!
nylon noose saves cost
Cyanide pill, end of story
@@techinnuntawattanasirichai1233
in that case, im going to write to the King of Siam to intervene and punish this murderer!
Malaysia 🇲🇾 is relatively safer than Thailand because our gun laws are very strict.
That 14 year old was wearing U$A flag cap...Not hard to guess from where all this inspiration are coming from.
Consequence of playing thise violent computer games, shooting without mercy, affected young minds to commit crimes.
@cac1504 Here we go again...
That is a tired and ignorant argument. Fortnite has 30 Million kids playing daily, if it was such an issue, wouldnt there be an exponental global increase in youth crime with the rise of the biggest online shooter on earth?
I bet you would never blame TV because you watch television on the regular. The problem can never be what *you* enjoy, it always has to be an inate problem with the youth. You are part of the problem.
People like you and the government are the reason kids cant enjoy anything these days.
China is huge and has a different climate, North, South, East, West, I would prefer to travel around the country like Xinjiang, but because we’re different some like to explore other country and culture, condolences to all the victims and the pain their families have to endure 🙏
American influence
1:24 😂
Thai government only apologized for Chinese ambassador? How about Myanmar women? 1:24
@@thzhvibes He didn't said to other 2 victims ☹
Feel hatred for him but also at the same time feel sorry for him. His parents must be truly demonic people to be around. A young soul is always destroyed by parents and their environment
You don't know mental illness. Parents can be helpless.
The kid hears voices in his head. Of course , that still means the parents are negligent enough for a mentally ill kid to get a gun.
Suspect under arrest, a 14-year-old Myanmar 🇲🇲
What if he wants to be a monk? Can he be set free? In Thailand you can escape punishment by becoming a monk.
??? The golden rules and qualifications for those seeking ordination in Theravada Buddhism are: must not be a suspect in a criminal case, not be sentenced to prison, and not be a prisoner on the run… not to mention age. For minors 14 years old They could not be ordained as monks but only be novices.
no wonder so many fake monks roaming about
You are so wrong and silly. Many monks who committed crime are arrested at the temples and cannot avoid any punishnpment.
Are you Indian by any chance?
This is why I have never vacationed outside of America. Too dangerous. Someone needs to fix this.
Pretty ironic for an American to be saying that but suit yourself.
The irony
Joke of the day.
😅
Why apologise to chinese diplomatic?? Why?? First apologise to your country man. Where is your pride. Pocketman
Exactly, money
Totally, like no thai life was lost there
Thailand tourist: 📉📉📉
Stop over dramatic . This is not a war.
Number tourists still come to Thailand just today 400,000 ppls.
@@SanyHandthe number has been down for 3 years
This is a national problem. It affects reputation, economy, and tourism. International relations, investment, confidence in safety is gone because of this kid. The incident indicated the problem of illegal guns and gun ownership in Thailand.
