Siam Paragon shooting

 

There was a fatal shooting at the Siam Paragon shopping mall – one of the finest department stores in the city – late this afternoon.  I was at home, but I easily could have been there, since I often shop there and visit their cinema plex; also, I usually pass through that mall once a week enroute to elsewhere, as it is a train hub. 

One of my favorite Rock bands is playing within walking distance from there tonight, and I almost went into the city to hear them. 

It is one shopping center that I know very well, and it has become extremely popular and crowded with the recent surge in tourism. 

The news is still coming in.  A 14-year-old Thai kid was arrested – and the asshole had an American flag on his hat.  Bangkok is freaking out, and I think there will be a new air of fear after this.
