Samut Prakan province has been gripped by fear as groups of teenagers engage in violent confrontations, disrupting the peace for three consecutive nights. Residents have been on edge due to late-night clashes involving knives, sticks, firearms, and explosives, prompting urgent calls for police intervention.

 

Security camera footage from the Thaiban subdistrict in Mueang district shows about 10 teenagers on motorcycles blocking roads and hurling ping pong bombs while taunting one another. The altercations have left the streets littered with shattered glass and bomb remnants.

 

Local resident Yotkorn described being jolted awake by the sound of gunfire and explosions. His security cameras captured footage of groups from Soi Yusuk, infamous for their late-night clashes. Concerned for the safety of the community's children, Yotkorn urged the police to take action against the nighttime violence.

 

 

Another resident, Phongphet, showed media fragments of ping pong bombs found outside his home. He explained that both groups, heavily armed, have made it impossible for locals to sleep peacefully. The fear of explosions near homes and potential damage to parked cars adds to the community's distress.

 

Residents are now living in a state of anxiety, hoping authorities will restore safety and calm to their neighborhood, reported The Thaiger.
