Three foreign tourists were injured by gunshots in Chiang Mai after a drunk university student opened fire at a restaurant because a waitress rejected him, police said.
Chiang Mai police on Saturday arrested Don Praweenmeth, a 28-year-old sixth year university student from Bangkok.
Police said Mr Don confessed that he fired five shots from a 9mm handgun in a busy restaurant on Nimanhemin Road at about midnight.
The suspect said he was flirting with the waitress at the restaurant but she rejected him and her boyfriend, who is a foreigner, later assaulted him.
Mr Don said he then bought out the gun from his car and fired it in the restaurant. He fled after the shooting but was later arrested in the morning.
Police said the three injured foreign tourists were named as Nicholas Brown from Canada, Tae-Yon Lee from Korea, and half Thai-Scottish Morris Chaiyawat.
Police charged Mr Don with attempted murder and possession of a firearm in a public area.
