For his part, the king of Thailand, as well as the queen consort, have visited the injured in two of the hospitals in the region, while offering their condolences to the relatives of those who still remain in serious condition, according to picked up by the newspaper ‘Daily News’.

The person responsible for the shooting, a 34-year-old man identified as Pol Panya, fled after the massacre and went to his home, where he killed his wife and one of his three children before committing suicide, which would place the total balance at 38 dead.

This is the worst mass shooting experienced in Thailand since in February 2020, a soldier opened fire inside a shopping center in the city of Nakhon Ratchasima (center) and killed 29 people and wounded 58 others before the Police could bring him down
