Officials arrived at the “Poomjai” restaurant right next to Kalasin Plaza 1. Villagers surrounded the area and some were still standing in shock.

Chaowat Puengcharoen 25-year-old did not make much sense when police interviewed the man. Villagers inside the BAAC ran for their lives when the incident took place.
