She had made arrangements to go to Bangkok to celebrate a friend’s birthday in the past few days, but she did not expect to encounter a shooting. At that time, she and her friends were dining in a restaurant, and gunfire suddenly erupted. “At this time, everyone almost went crazy… but everyone was tense.

Back in Taiwan… safe. I have experienced an extremely horrific tragedy in the past few days… The aftermath of the shooting… After thinking about it, I have the courage to speak out… I decided to share it with everyone (my friend said that I should tell my experience as a reminder) . Although I don’t want anyone to encounter something similar, maybe understanding the situation first can be a protection at some point… (Except for a few family members and friends, I haven’t mentioned this matter to anyone, for fear of Everyone is worried…)

On Tuesday, October 3, 2023 (about 4pm), a random shooting occurred at the Siam Paragon Department Store in Bangkok. I was at the scene at the time… This was a trip that had been planned for a long time, to celebrate the 30th birthday of my best friend Ah Ching. On my birthday, we dined together at the food court on the G floor of Paragon. Suddenly there was a loud noise in our ears… “Bang! Bang!” We almost didn’t have time to hesitate. For some reason, our brain gave us the most correct message: “Someone shot!”

We squatted under the table as fast as we could, and moved to the kitchen step by step, hiding inside without making a sound… “Bang! Bang! Bang bang!!” Four more shots were fired… At this time, everyone was almost going crazy. Lost… But everyone is tense, even strangers do not distinguish each other. There is only one goal at the moment, which is to hope that everyone is alive…

Later, people rushed into the kitchen one after another, and we hugged each other. The gunshots continued… (Do you know how to set off firecrackers? Just like that…but louder and louder. I will never forget it…) After about 10-15 minutes, the staff asked everyone to “run out now!” We rushed out of the restaurant as fast as we could and got lost in the huge food court. All we knew was to follow the crowd! Suddenly, the staff at the front issued an order: “Turn back! Don’t run in this direction!” We all immediately turned around and fled in the other direction… Then, we ran to the parking lot and successfully escaped…

It was raining heavily in Bangkok at this time, but we didn’t care so much. At the moment, I just felt that this was the baptism of rebirth… To be honest… I only remember one fragment after another during the whole process, and some of the connecting processes in the middle were a little bit… It’s blurry, probably because my brain has turned on Auto mode, or maybe it’s too scary, and it actively helped me choose to forget… But! I remember a few things very clearly, which may be the key to saving my life!

1. Squat immediately.

When this happens, you must squat down and look for cover. We immediately squatted under the table and then slowly moved to the kitchen at the back.

2. Keep quiet.

Except for the commotion at the beginning and the sound of smashing cups and plates, everyone was very, very quiet during the whole process, including when everyone was escaping, there was no screaming at all… (This is different from what is shown in the movie, because At the moment, everyone’s adrenaline is high and their alertness is at the highest level! Moreover, on the one hand, we are afraid that if we make a sound, the gunman will find us!)

3. Stay calm.

Don’t panic when encountering this kind of thing, let alone be nervous. Absolutely, absolutely calm yourself down. Only by being calm can your brain think or hear important instructions.

4. Don’t leave alone.

During the whole escape process, the three of us basically never left each other, because being alone would cause a lot of psychological pressure (there was a time when Axun was forced to separate from us and hide in the kitchen on the other side. At that time, Ah Jing and I were in the same mood. It’s very tight!)

And that’s it! No matter how many escape routes we went through, we never broke away from the crowd, because a group of people is more powerful together, and if we are alone, we may become a target…

5. Pray in your heart.

During the whole process, I kept praying in my heart. I think it was also because of this that I was able to not panic and face such a huge fear with greater peace…

This is probably the case. If I remember anything, I will share it with you again. May God keep everyone safe. Finally, I would like to thank my most important traveling companions on this journey – A Jing and A Xun.
