Yesterday’s incident was the kingdom’s third high profile attack in four years.
BANGKOK: Thailand’s prime minister today vowed “preventive measures” after a shooting at a Bangkok shopping mall left two people dead and raised fresh questions about the kingdom’s gun control.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin joined a minute’s silence at the mall before offering the government’s condolences to the families of the two female victims – one Chinese and one from Myanmar. Police arrested a 14-year-old suspect, a student at a US$4,000-a-term private school just metres from Siam Paragon.
By one estimate, Thailand has 10 million guns in circulation – one for every seven citizens, and one of the highest rates of ownership in the region. China – which sent around 10 million visitors a year before the pandemic – is a crucial market, but numbers are not returning as fast as Thai officials would wish.
