NONTHABURI, Thailand – In a shocking incident on the night of August 22, a group of gunmen launched a revenge attack by opening fire at a grocery store in the Tha Sai area of Nonthaburi Province, injuring four people. Among those targeted were famous internet idols Worawat Chuamkaew, known as “Suea Poon Pochono.3,” and Teerapong Wilairit, also known as “Nhu Hoksun.” Despite multiple shots being fired, both idols miraculously escaped unscathed, with bullets failing to cause any harm.
According to reports from the Rattanathibet Police Station, the incident occurred outside a grocery store in Prachaniwet 3 Village, where approximately 10 people had gathered. Bullet casings from a 9mm firearm were found scattered on the ground, and the store sustained damage from bullets that struck the refrigerator, shelves, and metal doors.
Suea Poon recounted the events, stating that he had gone to check on a younger associate who had been attacked by three assailants wielding batons. After arriving at the scene to confront the attackers—who were reportedly related to him—he planned to resolve the matter the following day. However, just 15 minutes later, a white sedan drove by, and gunmen inside opened fire. Despite 14 shots being aimed at Suea Poon, none struck him. Four people were injured, with three requiring hospitalization. One individual was even followed and shot again near Benjamarachanusorn School.
Suea Poon, who sells goods near a school, expressed confusion over the attack, as he had no known enemies. He credited his survival to the protective powers of amulets he wore, including those of Luang Por Khuay from Wat Kosittharam and Luang Pu Eiam from Wat Saphan Sung.
Another victim, Kitipon Saengon (known as “Jack”), said that he and Suea Poon were visiting the store when the gunmen began shooting. Jack sustained a grazing wound to his back but believes that the amulet of Luang Pu Thuad he wore helped protect him.
As the investigation continues, police are working to identify the perpetrators and determine the motive behind this brazen attack. The surviving victims are urging law enforcement to apprehend the gunmen, fearing for their safety given the severity of the incident.
