Altough skirmishing between red-shirt demonstrators and government troops had ended in May, the innocent still feel pain.
The female victim, 40-year-old Chaluay Sainuk who lives in Ratchathewi district said I cannot sleep well as I still remember about the night that I was shot in the leg. On may 15, she was shot in the leg in the second floor of her home while crawling on my knees from the mosquito net. The bullet came from an unidentified source and hit her leg.
Her husband called the hospital to sent an ambulance to pick her up. Medical staff refused and laughed at him because situation around her home was too dangerous. Then her husband put her on a motorcycle and took her to nearby Praram 9 hospital. They were really afraid when rode to hospital as everything surrounding us. There was only us on the road.
She is a street fruit vendor who earns around Bt 1,000 to Bt 2,000 a day around Rajprasong intersection area. After being shot, she could not go outside her community to sell fruit on the street. So at present, she has no money to spend for her living and family. Now, she has to borrow Bt 20,000 from a creditor to start her new life.
When there was civil war in Bangkok, I prayed to Buddha and begged for peace and stopped to the violence. I hope Bangkok will return to normal soon. I think the civil war is bad memory for everybody in Bangkok. Everyone should help to protect here where is our hometown. The civil war dose not happen here again.
