Or Tor Kor Market is located close to the popular Chatuchak market, a major tourist spot in the Thai capital.
“Police are investigating the motive. So far it’s a mass shooting,” said Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok’s Bang Sue district, speaking to AFP. He added that officials are also checking “for any possible link” between the attack and ongoing border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
