Two Thai men were nabbed for possessing illegal guns at their condominium complex in South Pattaya.
At 00:06 AM on July 20th, Mr. Nathanat Anusit, 26, and Mr. Navy Charoensuk, 34, were arrested by Pattaya police at an unnamed condo. The police seized from them a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver and six rounds of ammunition.
