PATHUM THANI — The last day of a major Songkran street party in northern metro Bangkok came to a premature end yesterday when a large gang fight broke out.

Police officers and soldiers were sent to quell the Friday afternoon skirmishes, which broke out during the water fight festival on Khao Chae Road – a local version of Bangkok’s Khaosan Road, according to local police chief Apichart Komutikanond.

The happy event turned south when two teenage gangs met each other on the street, Col. Apichart said.

South always gets a bad rap...

Actually, was wondering why this didn't happen more often...Gangs showing up with nice coloured weapons...
