Well...we need to compare apple to apple. In Thailand no one is defending the guns right and it is between the affected parties as both play equal role. But in America no matter how many die. still the NRA is bribing the politicians to kill more innocent people in the country.

We spent Songkran in Kanchanaburi once and it was a really dangerous vibe

 

We stayed over by the river right down from a lot of the expat bars

 

And it was not a good scene, just a bunch of unruly drunk Thais causing trouble

 

We went back and stayed at the hotel all day

The gun violence is long established in Thailand. before that it was machetes and knives.

You have a biased perspective. The US gun violence is well reported. However, it is far worse in  Pakistan and Afghanistan. You ignore the violent gun feds common in the middle east in places like Syria, or iraq. You ignore the common  violence of Liberia, Chad, Libya, Congo etc. far more violent and deadly in those countries.
