Sattahip Student Skirmish

Thai Boys and their Thai toys. When I was a young boy a long long time ago we used to colect football cards and Dinky Toys. How things have changed especially if you are a kid about town in some Thai town.

Sattahip Police were called in to brak up a fight between rival gangs from the same Sattahip High School. Rescue workers from The Sawang Rojjana Thamma Satharn Rescue Foundation were in attendance to patch up wounds and ferry two of the more severely injured to The Queen Sirikit hospital in Sattahip for further emergency treatment.

The reason for the skirmish - students from the same school but not the same class had been arguing with each other because one group of students had accelerated past another group on their motorcycles which annoyed them.

18 boys were arrested - Oh and the boys toys were seized including a pen gun, a bullet, a knuckle, 5 egg bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices.

The police then invited the student's parents to acknowledge their sons actions and escort them back home for a family chat before recording the incident and becausethey were just teenagers releasing these boys without any further charges.
