Home of Trang Resident Targeted in Fourth Shooting Incident
A residence in Trang province was attacked with war-grade weapons for the fourth time in two years, prompting a police investigation into potential local conflicts.
On the night of October 30, 2026, the home and business of 45-year-old Thanakorn Khet-takian, known as 'Chai Por,' in Khao Phrai, Ratsada District, Trang, were targeted in a shooting attack. According to reports from Khaosod Online, this marks the fourth such incident involving the property within the last two years. Investigators recovered five 5.56mm shell casings and two unexploded 40mm M79 grenades at the scene. Thanakorn is the brother of Jirawoot Khet-takian, also known as 'Mued Ratsada.' The victim's brother has publicly suggested that the ongoing violence may be linked to challenges involving two influential local figures. While no injuries were reported, the use of military-grade weaponry in a residential area is a significant concern for local security. For residents and visitors in the area, this incident highlights a localized dispute that has persisted over an extended period. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation to identify the perpetrators and determine the exact motive behind the repeated attacks. As the investigation continues, the public is advised to remain cautious and monitor local news for updates regarding safety in the Ratsada district.
