The students were taken in for questioning telling police that ten rival students from another college had attacked them while they were filling up at the gas station. 

 

They were all armed with knives. They ran to try and get away before their adversaries fled the scene.

 

Investigations continue. 

 

The colleges were not named.

Does anyone know the cultural basis for these regular vocation school gang fights with weapons? It’s very peculiar.

Vocational college students.

Now for the majority of people here who never reach that level of studies, they simply fill the the news time of Thairath tv.

We know that the ones that are fighting are the boys that attend these schools.  Do the girls also engage in fighting other girls from rival vocational schools?
