On October 25, reporters visited the scene at Nang Ram Market in Bang Bua Thong. The incident occurred beside the market, adjacent to a customer dining area separated by a large dome structure. Vendor Noi said during the scuffle many tourists were seated nearby watching. With loud music playing, she only heard someone shout "There's a gun, people fighting" and fled the area. While leaving, she saw a tall man in shorts getting into a car, and assumed another man had already been forced inside.
Preliminary inquiries revealed the victim arrived at the market around 9:15 PM to buy boxed rice, then walked out without any sign of conflict. A group of men then drove up, parked near him, and forced him into their vehicle. No weapons were seen used against his person.
Pol. Lt. Col. Sophon Mongkolsophonrat, Bang Bua Thong Station chief, said he ordered investigators to gather evidence. Although the victim hasn't filed a report, police must summon those involved to explain because a firearm was allegedly brandished in public, causing public alarm. Regarding the license plate seen in video clips, preliminary checks show the vehicle is linked to a finance company. However, as today is a weekend holiday, ownership details cannot yet be verified and further checks are pending.
