Two Deadly Shootings in 3 Days.. What Is Happening in Thailand??
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
A former Thai lawmaker is accused of fatally shooting Thongchai Yenprasert, the 71-year-old chief executive of the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, inside a government compound near Bangkok on August 10, 2026. The case became even more surreal when Chalong reportedly called journalist Anchalee Paireerak during a livestream.
The Nonthaburi government office shooting happened only three days after a devastating attack at Debsirin Nonthaburi School by a 14-year-old.
In this episode of You Can't Unhear, we examine both Nonthaburi shootings, Thailand's high civilian gun ownership, the country's long-running struggle with illegal firearms, and the renewed debate over whether Thailand's gun laws can prevent the next tragedy.
