On October 1 at 13:00, in Samut Prakan province, police were alerted to a violent occurrence in the parking area of Wat Bang Ya Phraek. A 15-year-old boy, pseudonymously referred to as "A", was discovered with a stab wound on his right torso and bite marks on his knee.

 

The confrontation began near a local steel mill, where "A" encountered a rival. The argument escalated and turned violent at the notorious Khoeng Saeng Jinda. Eyewitnesses recounted four teenagers involved in the brutal altercation, armed with knives, reported Siam Rath.

 

Local residents, familiar with such instances of youth violence, courageously intervened. They disarmed and detained the perpetrators before handing them over to the officers from the Samrong Tai Police Station. "A" received preliminary first aid before being urgently transported to Samut Prakan Hospital for further medical attention.

Not exactly the only event of such matters to occur in LOS that day. They do tend to lose it if they become unhappy over something.

Face! The downfall of Thai society! ????

Yeah because how things appear matters more to them than how things actually are. It's just weakness. They should grow bigger balls and learn to take things on the chin.

It's a cultural thing! 

That's no excuse, you can decide how to react as many do.

This has been going on for a long time. It's probably rival trade or technical school gangs.  An ex gf sent her son to a technical school and she was very concerned about her boy fighting rival schools. Lots of young guys were getting killed, and that was more than 10 years ago.

Nothing will change whilst the punishment is to accept the invite to the police station with your mummy, wai and 500baht, and rinse and repeat. I think the technology schools need to do more here to address the issues.

I've said it before but expel any students for 'gang' fighting whether in school or outside, and no fee reimbursements..

Becomming like France and it's beach front towns all over the south of France,. Weekly shootings by drug rival gangs leaving often innocent bystanders murdered in broad daylight. Marseille, Paris, or the city of Nice all to be avoided. S

 

Spend your money and holidays elsewhere I may say. The world is going mad since the crisis caused by the US sanctions against Russia that are causing inflation and crisis all over. Once again america is destroying global peace and prosperity.

Thais generally don't like to get angry and when they do they often go overboard. Once their emotions are in play, they aren't usually very good at managing them but this is not the norm in my opinion. Most are respectful and don't harm others.
