Mass Shooting Kills Five, Injures Two at Bangkok Market

A mass shooting occurred at Bangkok's Or Tor Kor Market, resulting in the deaths of five people, including four security guards and one vendor, with two others injured. The gunman, identified as 61-year-old Noi Praidaen, a former security guard at the market, walked calmly through the area with a handgun before opening fire and ultimately taking his own life. Authorities believe the motive was personal, linked to a grudge against the market's security staff, and have ruled out any connection to regional border tensions. The shooting shocked the nation, highlighting concerns over gun violence in public spaces in Thailand, where such incidents are rare but have occurred in recent years. Police continue to investigate, collecting CCTV footage and evidence to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the attack. No tourists were harmed in the incident, which took place during busy market hours.
