Normal behaviour for the chickenhead bugmunchers that run samuis beaches.

On a crowded beach in front of tourists!

You'd have thought their mafia shenanigans would have executed inland away from the tourist industry that feeds them.

**Dasher** · 28-02-2018, 05:24 PM

Havent been there for years. Wouldnt go back.

Standard behavior for the chicken heads. Perceived loss of business, perceived loss of of face. Will they ever evolve?

^ "Will they ever evolve" Allow me to answer that question as simply as possible:-

I was just at Chaweng last year, and there were quite a few jet skis around..

What a crazy incident. Scary shit!

Surprised they didn't start shooting each other over who'd get the corpse/money/karma.

Or does that only happen with the Bangkok 'ambulance' crews.

Think the tourists will be a bit wary of hiring Jet skis for the rest of there holiday.

Next, it will be the Banana boat shootout.

Glad I visited Samui back in the 80's

Deadly shoot-out erupts between firms in Brit holiday hotspot

A DEADLY shootout erupted on a popular tourist beach when rival jet ski operators open fired at each other.

By Simon Green / Published 28th February 2018

Scenes after rival jet ski operators shoot-out on Thai beach.But they started to argue when one encroached onto the other’s patch. It soon turned violent as they started firing their handguns and – as the grainy CCTV footage shows – it sent tourists fleeing in terror. When police arrived they found both men lying in a pool of blood on the white sand. Tinapot later died in hospital.

Num Hankit, 30, witnessed the bloodbath and said: “I work near the beach and just heard the bullets and came to look".
“It's scary, anybody could be hit by a bullet".
“People are riding jet skis with guns in their pockets".
“I cannot believe this is happening on a beach".

A man prays after laying flowers on Marhaba beach.

“There were more than 100 tourists standing on the beach".
“They looked shocked. They have a holiday and people are shooting each other. It's dangerous.”

A black 9mm handgun and a smaller silver pistol were recovered from the scene. Police Major General Apichat Boonsaree from the Bophut station said they believed the reason for the gunfight was a “business conflict when renting jet skis to customers”

Yepp, one died immediately and the other a couple of hours later in hospital.

Shame there weren't a few good guys there with some AR 15s

**harrybarracuda** · 01-03-2018, 02:36 AM

Ooooh is this a Samui version of the Hatfields and McCoys?

**fishlocker** · 01-03-2018, 03:00 AM

A shootout on the beach!

What, no garden tools handy?

**Lantern** · 01-03-2018, 04:04 AM

Brains the size of grains of rice.

**Latindancer** · 01-03-2018, 04:58 AM

But....they need the guns to intimidate tourists they're standing over for outrageous payment due to invented damage.

Yep. Despite the first aid of good old CPR with heavy chest compressions to a guy bleeding out. I wonder why that didn't help.

If jet-skis were horses, it might be the OK Corral...They did ride off into the sunset, however...

If only they had had this on scene:
