Thread: Khon Kaen Police Perform Inspections at Movie Theaters Ahead of 4 Kings Screening

At 4:30 PM, on November 30th 2023, Mueang Khon Kaen police officers performed a field inspection at Major Cineplex Movie Theater, Mueang, Khon Kaen, to prevent potential altercations between college students coming to watch the movie “4 Kings II”.


The police officers gave instructions and preventive measures on potentially risky situations as a result of watching the movie to the movie theater manager. The police officers also talked and gave guidance to youths and people who came to watch the movie.

The movie “4 Kings II” depicts the content of violence and the use of weapons to attack each other between groups of Thai technical college students.


Previously, when the movie “4 Kings” was screened in 2021, there were several cases in which technical college students fought each other after the movie ended.


Pol. Col. Preecha Kengsarikit, Muang Khon Kaen station’s chief, publicly stated his concern that after watching the movie, teenagers might be overly excited and cause an altercation or imitate the movie acts. The patrol officers were reportedly ordered to inspect two other movie theaters in Mueang Khon Kaen.


Pol. Col. Preecha further warned teenagers watching the movie that they needed to use discretion and not imitate the movie to cause violence as it will only create trouble for themselves and their families. If they are found committing illegal acts, the police will surely hold them accountable, concluded Pol. Col. Preecha.


Meanwhile, Bangkok police officers were also dispatched to local movie theaters in Bangkok to keep security in front of the malls where “4 Kings II” will be screened.

Sattahip Teenager Arrested for Carrying Weapons into Theater to Watch 4Kings 2

A Thai teenager was arrested while trying to smuggle multiple knives into a Sattahip movie theater to watch “4Kings (Part 2),” a film portraying violent culture among vocational school students in Thailand.


The suspect, whose name was withheld due to his young age of 17, was arrested at the entrance of a movie theater at the Big C department store in Sattahip district, Chonburi province. According to Sattahip police, he was about to enter the cinema to watch the movie “4Kings (Part 2),” screened in the evening of December 4th.

Police received a tip from the cinema’s security staff that the teenager was carrying knives into the cinema. Upon inspection, the police found a 6 cm-long chisel, one sharp-tipped metal rod measuring 23 cm, one folding knife, and one box cutter in the suspect’s shoulder bag.


The teenager reportedly admitted that the weapons belonged to him and stated that he carried them for self-defense due to past altercations with other teenagers in the Sattahip area. He brought the weapons with him to watch the movie in anticipation that his rivals might show up and attempt to attack him for revenge.


Police charged the suspect with carrying weapons in public. He was taken into custody, and the police also informed his parents.


The 4Kings franchise depicts gang violence among Thai vocational school students. The movie revolves around violent and sometimes ‘fatal’ brawls between such students, dating back to the 90s when students would engage in fights against those from different schools.


The irrational culture persists until today, with one instance of such culture resulting in the tragic death of an innocent female high school teacher in Bangkok last month.
