In a devastating turn of events, five people were killed in a mass shooting at the Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok, according to Thai officials. The suspected shooter has also been reported dead, as confirmed by police in Thailand's bustling capital.

Additionally, an attack by an ex-policeman in October 2022 resulted in the loss of at least 37 lives, primarily affecting children at a childcare center in Nong Bua Lamphu province.
The horror didn't end there, as a soldier took the lives of 29 people in a shooting rampage in Nakhon Ratchasima in 2020. The shocking nature of these events continues to raise questions about gun control and public safety in the region, as communities seek solace and answers in the wake of these tragedies.
