After a gun was fired during a scuffle, a noise complaint at a Phuket Town rental property descended into violence, injuring both the landlord and the tenant. The incident, which happened yesterday, December 12, brought the two parties’ ongoing tensions to light.
Around 5:00 p.m. yesterday, December 12, Phuket City police arrived at the scene of the disturbance on Phatthanakan Soi 2. The injured landlord and tenant were found at the scene by emergency personnel from Vachira Phuket Hospital and the Phuket Kusoldharm Foundation.
The tenant, Phanupong Sae-Tae, also known as Bank, was shot in the left leg, and the landlord, Soros Chitchiew, 41, was wounded in the right eye socket. After receiving emergency medical attention, both victims were taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for additional care.
According to Soros, the fight started when he and his spouse went to Room 5 to resolve complaints about loud noises made at night. He pointed out that Phanupong had repeatedly been asked to leave the property due to his threatening behavior in the past.
