According to police, an unidentified gunman fatally shot five people, including four security guards and a woman, at the market before killing himself.

"Police are investigating the motive. So far it's a mass shooting," Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok's Bang Sue district, where the incident took place, told news agency AFP.
He said the suspect took his own life after the shooting, and police were working to identify him, as well as investigating "for any possible link" to the current border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Mass shootings are not uncommon in Thailand, where firearms can be obtained relatively easily due to lax gun control enforcement.
