In a shocking show of disregard for public property, a gang of unruly youths went on the rampage daubing graffiti on public park buildings and destroying several timber in Chak Nok Public Park in Pattaya.
The park, beneath the purview of Nong Prue Municipality, is ordinarily a tranquil haven for locals to unwind and engage in health actions amongst its varied plant species and huge ornamental rocks.

Under the cover of darkness, a sizeable collective of adolescents, believed to be aged between 14 and 19, converged on the park and engendered what might only be described as public commotion.
Disgruntled residents dwelling in the vicinity of the park recounted their experiences to The Pattaya News, voicing their concern over the relentless noise air pollution brought about by the frenzied revving of the troublemakers’ motorbike engines without a thought for the discomfort caused to these in the neighborhood.
One of the disenchanted locals shared his frustration.
“It was like they didn’t have any care on the planet. The extreme noise from the revving engines was unbearable, it disturbed the tranquillity of our nighttime routine.”

In the newest improvement, officers successfully apprehended an 18 yr previous man for his alleged involvement in an explosive attack on his rivals close to the railway track road. The incident, which occurred at 4am on July 19, left two teens injured..
