Two weeks with the army for an attitude adjustment seminar is my suggestion. Guys like this would be better 44 targets than dissidents.

Two years MIGHT do it.  And a caning or two...bastards.

[Cereal]

Man...the insanity that affects Thailand is beyond belief at times. And to think when the kids sit these exams in Korea the airport closes to flights to keep the noise down!

Fragile Thai male ego, yet again.

Nothing to do with Thai ego, it's Thailand in social behaviour meltdown.

Who the hell enters a school mob handed, armed, frightening children just because you've been politely asked to keep the noise down.

Everyone seems to armed with something these days and quite willing to threaten anyone that has anything to say.

The level of violence in a supposedly peaceful Buddhist culture is alarming!!

Two brain cells.... you're being very generous !

Unless you were referring to a group total?

Thai society has to stop coddling it's boys. Many of them are not growing up to be proud, respectable, honorary citizens, who make a real contribution to society. Parents have to start telling young boys, from the age of two, you are nothing special.

That won't fit with the "little emperor syndrome", lack of education, and lack of parental guidance. Hence, I have no hope this will change before the adult population in this country starts to grow up.

[Happy Grumpy]

Quite normal to bring guns to a religious ceremony then attack a school because they ask to keep the noise down in ISIS held cities.

 

I don't know what the big deal is.

The Asian concept of face, and the Thai version that borders on the psychotic.

This alone is reason for a lengthy Prison sentence... remove these egotistical childish minds from society and place them in a place where they are forced to grow up.

 

 

 

You could apply the same to the people who are presently in charge of Thailand too......

I've seen a few posts in her assuming 'armed' means they were armed with guns, this doesn't have to be the case, they could have been armed with sticks, knives, bad breath, offensive personalities etc 

 

Yep, you are quite correct; there was nothing said specific to firearms.

 

That I read anyway.

I think they only wanted some "fun". And it got out of hand. As usual.

You put that in the 'fun' category?

Sure, but whenever you hear the police say, "the suspect is armed", you assume it's with a gun. Otherwise they'd say 'armed with a knife" etc. 

 

Then again, this is reported in English by people who aren't native-speakers or translated from Thai. 

[Enoon]

 

Obviously the mob are a bunch of c****, but telling them to keep it down via the schools PA system was probably not a very good way to initiate negotiations with a view to resolving the situation.

 

Were they asked, or were they told.....by "teacher"?

I believe alcohol is banned at Buddhist ceremonies/temples but I bet these men were all "tanked up".

I can imagine what would if happened if violent and armed men forced their way into a school in places like Australia or the U.S.  the school would be swarming with heavily armed police and I wonder how many would actually get to walk out.

100% They would be dead or in prison by now.

[CanterbrigianBangkoker]

Typical pathetic Thai men-children and their inconceivably dim witted / egotistic response to what seems to be a reasonable request. This place is becoming a bigger embarassment each passing day. Time to leave soon perhaps, I for one couldn't stand for such abhorrent behaviour if it happened in my daughter's school, for example.

They have done that in China but everyone is screaming about it.

[manchega]

You don't see this behaviour from women!

 

leads one to think a lot of insecurity here

[ronaldo0]

This and the daily news of people threatening people with guns, machetes due to someone beeping a horn or pulling in front of them in a vehicle, murder over nothing or losing face , children killing other children , insane traffic accidents on bus routes etc daily have made my mind up about staying ! Wild West hasn’t got a look in with this place !!

In any normal country the moment a gun at a school was mentioned the place would be locked down and surrounded by armed police. Here it’s a case of do you mind handing yourself in if you can please and we will tell you not to do it again and you can be on your way ! 

[klauskunkel]

First this kind of behavior was frowned upon, then it was tolerated, now it is accepted, and if the trend continues it will be encouraged and at a future stage, rewarded.

Congrats to parents, officials, authorities and monks: you have now achieved what you obviously wanted, it's your reward for being too lazy.

[IAMHERE]

Just when I thought I've heard it all; the louder the music the better the ordination. Got to love the thought process. I feel sorry for the kids who needed to score high on the tests.

[natway09]

I think you guys have just about said it all.

These very immature Thai males need to grow some brains & some severe training in self discipline. Idiots

[Wake Up]

Hard to imagine this really happened in 2019 with grown men attacking teachers and forcibly kissing a student in school over noise complaint. ????

[Bournville]

... and now the accused lie and deny disturbing anyone!! Bunch of lying animals. Taking zero responsibility for thier own actions. Really pathetic. 

[PhilippBKK]

I believe alcohol might have been involved.....????

[Knocker33]

Thais are one of the most inconsiderate self centered races I have ever met. We visit a beautiful quiet beach most weekends. Well it's quiet  until the <deleted>  turn up in "their look at me " trucks and start belting out their horrendous  music and if anyone dares ask them to turn it down they are physically threatened

None would walk out!  I was an active shooter responder at my job, and once the shooter(s) begin to fire at innocents, or is just threatening with guns, we go in and stop the threat(s) as quickly and safely as possible.  There is no put your hands up...  The approach that is taken, is no one enters a school, place of work, etc., being armed just to scare people, they enter armed to kill.
