Mr. Prasarn Krampaiboon had a very bad start to the New Year when he found himself admitted to Banglamung Hospital on the morning of the 8th January.
The reason; he had been shot in the back by a member of a gang of vicious teenagers, all because he beeped his horn as he tried to pass when they were blocking the road he was travelling on in Soi 3, Pattaya Beach Road. Police were called to the hospital and he gave a statement after receiving treatment. The 27 year old chef said that he was on his way home after work when he came across 6 youngsters on 4 bikes blocking his way. Because he tooted his horn, they took offence and charged at him. In panic he drove through but was shot in the back in his attempt to escape. A report was made and an investigation is under way.
