Phuket –
Phuket Governor Chotnarin Kerdsom has directed local authorities to step in and provide urgent support following a violent incident at Cherngtalay Wittayakom School in Thalang District. The order came after a 14‑year‑old female student was injured in a physical altercation on campus in which a video has gone viral in social media.
On August 5th, 2026, around 1:30 p.m., police from Cherngtalay Station were called to the school after reports of a fight among students. Officers found six teenage girls involved in the confrontation, which stemmed from ongoing disputes between student groups. The victim sustained bruising to her left eye and arm, along with abrasions on her left knee. She was treated at Thalang Hospital, where medical records and initial witness statements were documented.
In response, the governor instructed the Thalang District Chief, the Phuket Provincial Education Office, the provincial Child and Youth Shelter, and the school director to visit the victim and her family. The move is to reassure parents and ensure student safety while pressing agencies to resolve underlying issues and prevent recurrence.
On August 6th, the victim’s mother formally filed a complaint with investigators, requesting legal action against those responsible. Police are continuing their inquiry, gathering evidence and testimonies in line with legal procedures.
