PHUKET:-- Police in Patong are to call in 30-40 members of teenage gangs from the area to take part in a “treatment camp” which is part of a project aimed at reducing conflicts among teenagers from the island’s entertainment hub.

The project, titled “Prasand Jai” or “Heart Linking”, will begin next month using a budget which has yet to be set.

Patong police chief Col Chaiwat Uikum told The Phuket News yesterday (July 25) that following a meeting of Patong police at the Blue Ocean Resort last Friday (July 22) it was agreed that the teenagers would be called in to take part in the camp because of the constant fighting among rival teen gangs.

“This project is aimed at reconciling these teens so they can unite together in the Patong community.

“The headmen from seven local communities will also be invited to take part in the camp together with officers from Patong police Station,” he said.

Attitude adjustment, Treatment Camps etc. I shudder to think what the next terminology will be but look at the direction it's heading in.

Chaos and more deaths unless someone takes steps to get these youths under control is the direction at present.

Ya baa, testosterone, no parental control, alcohol and motorbikes makes for a pretty nasty combination for these ill guided "rivals".

I would also add guns, "ice" and harsher economic times on Phuket, to your list.
