It should be noted that these types of events are not common in Thailand which is generally a very safe country, although in recent years there have been serious events, including one last October perpetrated by a 14-year-old minor who killed three people in a Bangkok shopping mall, the killing of 36 people, including 24 children, in October 2022 in Nong Bua Lamphu province or a shooting in a Korat shopping mall in 2020 where 29 people were killed.
