BANGKOK (NNT) -- Thailand Center of Excellence for Life Sciences (TCELS) urges Thai people to use the upcoming Buddhist Lent Commencement as an occasion to reduce and stop drinking as statistics show that Thailand is among the top five nations for liquor consumption.................

Very sad indeed. I can unserstand this sort of behaviour from high-school kids, but from university students?

People who go to uni are supposed to be the academic elite of the country.

I would like to see the source that Thailand is in the top five nations in consumption of alcohol. In my opinion it is not nearly the top 20. My country is in top 5, but dude, the drinking there is nothing in comparison with Thailand which is just in the league of amateurish drinking. According to the statistics of 2003 Thailand is around top 70 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption). It is not always when alcohol is the problem, but the culture and the way people percept things. I noticed that most of the people in Thailand like to show off and alcohol makes it worse and in case of so called losing face the things can turn bad.

Groups of rival college students in Thailand are known to engage in enormous gang fights with each other occasionally

Girls fighting... and with knives or at least one knife.

Sounds like hood rat night in some broken down neighborhood in The States. If this were to have occurred in The States I would attribute it to ghetto mentality.

Apparently, the fight started over one group being too noisy and the other group coming back with up to 10 women and a young girl lost her life. Should people just say, "Oh well, TiT."

Terrible story really, but I can imagine if the deceased were a male tourist that some would jump with: TiT, he should have known better, never get into an argument with the locals etc and essentially putting some of the blame on him for his own death. Does anyone want to blame the deceased?

I wonder if any of the posters will come up with the TiT comment or is that just reserved for tourists.

"I would like to see the source that Thailand is in the top five nations in consumption of alcohol."

Agreed. There's no way Thailand is anywhere near this level. Perhaps they are #5 in Asia, and this is certainly a tragic story, but it's not due to a national alcohol binge.
