I spend a lot of time in Nong Sim, playing with my RC boat or just walking the loop Sad to hear this happening in Udon, I'm sure I will be ok as Jack (Rottweiler) is always accompanies me but scary for the people on their own what happened to respect the elderly or is it just national elderly!

Earlier in the day (the article doesn't say the time), the group attacked a French tourist with a motorcycle helmet, sending the individual to the hospital as well.

Just wait until the economy gets really bad. With easier credit and more money flowing around the last several years coupled with the toys they have become accustomed to having, all of you will be an even bigger target.

Even their parents will be envious of you and talk about you at home. To them you will be the 1%.

Knowing a lot of Thai parents, in the main most will not even know what their little darlings are up to and would never condone what they are doing. This is typical gang related actions despite what the police say and attacks are in some cases a way of belonging. Knowing that helmets can disguise the wearer as in my day, balaclavas did. One or two of my friends were intending to walk around Nong Sim to see if we could find them, luckily for us and them the Police have done the job for us.

But I agree with the upcoming financial woes and lack of jobs as well as lack of training many youths at the end of February/ march will be out of work, left school and still wanting those items that their better off friends enjoy. It would seem wandering around alone in parks is not really recommended anymore.

The only people / youngsters without a job here are the lazy ones who simply dont want to work OR the rich ones who dont need to .... there is no other explanation with many businesses not being able to find people to fill positions ... the question of staff reliability comes to mind again as you mentioned KP always been a serious problem for employers here.

Back on topic , very sad incidents and pleased the police scooped these lads up quite quickly , Nong Sim was/is a lovely spot and should not be a place to avoid.

An excellent idea Jimmy .......but wont happen as the lads are potless layabout empty head junkies and the parents probably dont give a rats arse where they are or what they do and if they go to jail or a YODC .

Just to add that an old homeless Thai Hobo was murdered two days ago in Nong Bua Park… apparently all for 100 baht…

With that tidbit, guessing culprit caught, and confessed. Do you have a link by chance.???

May I ask that those who seem to know what the hell is going on with the local plod etc, keep their collective ears to the ground, as I fear unless we stay on top of this it will quietly disappear into bin 13 and never be heard of again. Those that know the victims offer our collective support, we want these lads and families to feel the anger and the experience the cost one way or another .

I'll take your word for it. Given the poor quality of the translations for the comments, I don't know for sure what the Thai folks are thinking. But I do think that most folks in general would be appalled by the attack. This sort of thing happens everywhere, but Udon seems pretty peaceful compared to cities in the U.S. of similar size.
