2 wounded at Motel shootout in Jomtien

2 young men were shot and injured at a motel in Jomtien early on Sunday Morning after 5 former customers returned and were met with unexpected force as they prepared to shoot the owner. Police and Rescue Services were called to the Bungalow 69 Motel on the Tepprasit Road and two of the five men involved in the planned attack on the motel owner were taken to Hospital with minor gun shot wounds. Police spoke with the owner, Khun Suchin aged 60 who explained the group had earlier rented a room but were creating problems for other guests because of their excessive noise levels, mostly caused by motorbikes which were arriving and leaving the room on a regular basis. The group was told to leave by the owner and they promised to return with guns. Their threat became reality but the owner was ready and a gun fight ensued where the two men sustained their wounds. The owner was unhurt thanks to luck and his firearm handling skills. Police are now looking into the case and are expected to charge the armed young men in due course.
