BANGKOK – Locals in central Thailand, Kamphaeng Phet province, are calling for quick action from the local police after a group of teens has been causing serious problems in several villages.
People say these teens ride motorbikes with their exhausts roaring late at night, chase and hit dogs with sticks, and kick over bins, leaving rubbish scattered across the roads. Residents in many areas are fed up with the ongoing trouble.
In villages across Pran Kratai district, Kamphaeng Phet, people are upset about a group of teenagers who speed around on motorbikes, making loud noises and disturbing the peace at night.
The teens use sticks to hit dogs in different villages, injuring the animals. Incidents have been reported in Moo 8, Ban Pa Daeng Klang in Tham Kratai Thong, and Moo 11, Ban Nong Hin Tao Poon in Pran Kratai, Kamphaeng Phet.
Several locals have shared footage from CCTV on the “Kamphaeng Phet Complaint Board” Facebook page.
In some clips, you can see the youths chasing dogs into people’s homes and then using sticks to hit fences, which made homeowners come out to see what was happening. One recording captured the gang between 1 am and 4 am on 22 August 2025.
Residents are angry and worried, unsure why these teenagers are doing this. They have used social media to ask the Pran Kratai police to step in and make arrests before something worse happens.
A post said, “Can you answer, son? Why do this? Hitting dogs and kicking bins?” The CCTV footage from the early hours of 22 August shows a group of teens riding motorbikes, revving their engines, hitting dogs, and knocking over waste bins.
The incident took place in Ban Pa Daeng Klang, Moo 8, Tham Kratai Thong, Pran Kratai, Kamphaeng Phet. The Facebook page has called on the authorities to act, hoping things will improve soon.
It was also mentioned that a group known locally as the “Sleepless Gang” carried out similar acts in different villages on the same night. Residents in Moo 8, Tham Kratai Thong and Ban Nong Hin Tao Poon described how the gang of teens hunted for stray dogs along the road.
In the shared videos, dogs can be seen running away and hiding under fences, while the teenagers continue to hit fences, making residents frightened and anxious.
