BANGKOK — Safety concerns loomed in Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, after Tuesday’s shooting in which two people were killed, eroding confidence among foreign tourists at a time when the kingdom is trying hard to promote tourism to boost the economy.
“I want to express my condolences to all families who lost their beloved ones in the unexpected,” Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said Wednesday at a business event held at the Siam Paragon shopping mall, where the shooting happened. “I believe that Siam Paragon has tried its best to take care of everyone’s safety,” Srettha said.
