A Simple Debt Spins Out of Control
A late-night debt meeting in Pattaya explodes into gunfire. Tawan, 28, arrives with his girlfriend to settle a 20,000 Baht debt, handing over a motorcycle and documents as guarantee.
All goes smoothly—until Tawan suddenly pulls a gun. Witnesses say he threatens creditors and fires, sending the shocked group fleeing for their lives.
Police Get Dragged Into the Chaos
Kiattisak, 29, one of the creditors, immediately calls for help. Local police on motorcycles give chase.
But Tawan forces one police bike to crash, leaving two officers, Isawa, 21, and Chanon, 19, badly hurt. The suspect takes off in a white Chevrolet. Police later find the car—bullet hole in its door, but Tawan already gone.
Officers Injured, Evidence Littered Across the Scene
At the scene, investigators spot a spent bullet casing and an overturned motorcycle.
Friends rush to help Isawa and Chanon, both members of the creditor group, get medical treatment. The drama leaves everyone shaken.
Behind the Mayhem: Cash and Phones Spark Fury
Credit collector Than, 40, tells police: ‘It was over 15,000 Baht cash and two phones, all worth 20,000 Baht.’
The creditors only wanted the motorcycle as security until Tawan paid in full. No one saw the violence coming.
Manhunt in Pattaya as Suspect Remains Armed
Police confirm this was a private loan deal that spiralled. Officers call Tawan “armed and dangerous.”
They are preparing an arrest warrant as the hunt intensifies. Caution is urged throughout the city.
Officers Stable as Hunt Continues
Both injured police are now stable in hospital. Authorities warn the public not to approach the fugitive.
Officials say this case highlights the dangers of private lending disputes in Thailand. Seemingly small arguments can become life-threatening—especially if guns are involved.
A Small Debt Leaves a Big Price as Police Close In
The Nong Prue police force launches a citywide manhunt for Tawan. With 20,000 Baht at stake, he’s angered both creditors and lawmen.
A special operation looms—Tawan’s debt has just skyrocketed, with the Thai police now hot on his trail.
