Two Thai youths full of alcohol and testosterone were
arrested after shooting guns into the air, allegedly to impress women
and scare off rival suitors.
The incidents on Soi Phettrakul near the Hollywood
disco shortly after midnight April 19 came after a full day of Songkran
drinking and revelry for the two men arrested, Somram Onnimm, 19, and
Pichit Kraboktho, 22.
Police said Somran confessed he fired his 38-caliber
handgun to impress a bargirl and pump up his persona among the
approximately 30 other people there. He lost all his face when cops
shackled and hauled him away.
Pichit was also busted for shooting off his hand-made
pen gun. Police said he confessed he did so to alert other young men
that he was leaving the party and headed to see his girlfriend, who had
wisely stayed at home.
