Following the midnight report of the shooting at Krua Yeera Restaurant, police and rescue workers found four injured men at the venue.

The injured men were identified as Phuthanet Cheycha, 33, who sustained a bullet wound on his right ankle and a taser burn to his right eye; Phinit Phulsamran, 50, who was shot in the mouth; Chaimongkol Sangsuk, 49, who was shot in his right wrist and suffered a burn wound near his right eye; and Anant Thongbai, 40, who sustained a gunshot to the chest. All four were rushed to Siriraj Hospital.

Chamanant Sangsuk, 20, told police that he and the four injured men were having a meal and drinks at the restaurant. As the venue’s musicians played music as the restaurant was about to close, the group went on stage to dance and were cheering with other guests when a group of five men seated near the stage, including two uniformed soldiers, attacked the group with a taser and two pistols before fleeing the scene on two motorcycles and in a Toyota sedan.

Chamanant said he suspected that while the men were on the stage, they might accidentally have bumped into the assailants’ table.
