Be careful around MBK and Siam Paragon area this weekend (potential vocational school skirmish)

There are two vocational schools in the Siam Square area. One on the opposite side of MBK. Another on the opposite side of the National Stadium. The two schools are in antagonistic relationship and their students fight all the time.

Last night around 10 pm, one Uthenthawai student was shot multiple times in the chest and was seriously wound next to Siam Scape, opposite of MBK.

February 1st is the Uthenthawai School founding day. The police expects there might be skirmishes.

If you see a group of students running toward you, get out of the way and find a safe spot, you don't want to be in a crossfire.
