Its not stated in the article but I imagine this was another inter college war.  Tribalism at schools is nothing new.  We as kids used to have wars with other schools which always reached a peak at the end of the year inter-school athletics, however our attacks usually only involved flour bombs, jumping up and down on the oppositions' straw school hats or deflating their school bus tyres.    Now its guns and knives......how things have changed.

and with school hazing rituals that involve being beaten unconscious or to death, who can say which is worse: drug gangs or school gangs? time for the newly medaled Thai SWAT teams to clean up these terrorists!
