Two men were injured in a late night shooting outside a South Pattaya Thai Restaurant.
Police and rescue services were called to the Sow Put Thai Restaurant at the southern end of Pattaya Third Road early on Thursday Morning.

The two injured men were both employees at the restaurant, Khun Wattanasak aged 38, a singer who had been shot in both of his legs and Khun Panomwan aged 23, a waiter who sustained a minor flesh wound. Both were taken to Hospital as Police determined the cause of the shooting.

They were told that Khun Panomwan had been asked by Khun Wattanasak to purchase some whiskey at the nearby 7-Eleven Store at the corner of Soi 17 on Pattaya Third Road. On his way back to the restaurant he encountered a group of 3 young men on bikes who threw stones at Khun Panomwan. He ran back to the restaurant and summoned assistance from Khun Wattanasak. A scuffle occurred which escalated into a serious confrontation when one of the three gang members produced a gun and shot at both men.

Police were told at the Hospital that both men were not sure who the attackers were and why the confrontation took place. Police suspect this is not entirely true and will continue to question the pair and search for those responsible.
