Crime Buriram Police Crack Down on Teenage ‘Biker Gangs’ Behind Bomb Scares & Street Violence
Picture courtesy of Naewna. Police in Buriram Province have arrested 25 teenagers allegedly involved in a series of violent disturbances, including illegal street racing, armed brawls and throwing improvised explosives in urban areas. Officers also seized dozens of modified motorbikes, homemade weapons and over 100 bottles of kratom extract. Parents of those involved now face charges for neglecting their legal duties under child protection laws. The operation, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Narongsak Promtha, Commander of Buriram Provincial Police, was announced during a press conference at Mueang Buriram Police Station. Senior law enforcement officials, including district authorities and local municipal leaders, stood alongside police as they detailed the extensive crackdown. Over several nights, residents in Mueang District had reported repeated episodes of unrest. Gangs of youth were allegedly racing motorcycles, engaging in street fights, discharging firearms and throwing explosive devices at various locations across the city, leaving the public terrified. Footage and reports had been widely shared on social media, prompting urgent police action. Authorities launched a coordinated sweep, arresting 25 individuals aged under 20, many of whom were caught in the act or traced using CCTV and online evidence. In total, 46 illegal or modified motorbikes were confiscated, along with homemade explosive materials, knives and large quantities of kratom, a psychoactive herbal extract believed to be fuelling the gang’s reckless behaviour. Those arrested are being charged with serious offences including: • Forming or participating in a criminal gang • Gathering in groups of ten or more to incite public disorder using threats or violence • Carrying weapons and using them to cause public fear • Engaging in disruptive behaviour in public areas Each offence carries a potential prison sentence of up to five years, a fine of up to 100,000 baht, or both. In a significant move, police also charged the parents and guardians of the arrested youths under Thailand’s Child Protection Act (2003) for failing to properly supervise their children and allowing them to participate in criminal activity. Pol. Maj. Gen. Narongsak stated that the violence was partly fuelled by the consumption of kratom and encouraged by social media trends. “Some of these incidents are acts of imitation, but they have very real and dangerous consequences,” he said. “We urge parents to be more involved in their children’s lives. Negligence can and will result in legal consequences.” He added that while police efforts have been ongoing, future operations will involve greater collaboration between police, district authorities and local municipalities to prevent the reformation of youth gangs and discourage public disorder. Authorities are now calling on the public to report any suspicious or disruptive group activity and to support community-led efforts in keeping the streets safe.

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Correct me if i am wrong, but in case of getting an eVisa from an oversea embassy, the PDF page you get replaces the Visa stamped in the passport. What i am worried about is getting the correct stamp on arrival showing the "permit to stay until" date. I would be thankful to learn what exactly is stamped in your passport when you show them the eVisa for the first time at BKK airport. -
