Two Teenagers Arrested Following Fatal Shooting at Rayong Beach Festival

According to reports from Khaosod Online, two 18-year-old suspects have turned themselves in to authorities following a violent incident at the 'Mae Ramphung Beach, Colors of the East' festival in Rayong province. The shooting occurred late on September 18, 2026, shortly after a concert by the band Maleehuana concluded on the road between Mae Ramphung Beach and Ban Kon Ao.

Police investigations indicate that the two suspects, identified as 'Diao' and 'Tor,' opened fire on rivals following the concert. Tragically, the gunfire struck a 25-year-old man who was riding his motorcycle home, resulting in his death. Three other innocent bystanders were also injured during the altercation. The incident took place in a crowded area frequented by many tourists and music fans.

For residents and travelers, this event highlights the risks associated with large-scale public gatherings where interpersonal conflicts may escalate into violence. While the suspects are now in custody, the investigation remains ongoing as authorities process the evidence and determine the full sequence of events. Travelers are advised to remain aware of their surroundings in crowded public venues. Further details regarding the legal proceedings and the condition of the injured victims are expected to be released by local law enforcement as the case progresses.
