Police in Plai Bang subdistrict are investigating threatening messages circulating in the parent group chat at Thepsirin School in Nonthaburi, where students shared screenshots of a conversation discussing plans for another serious incident on August 17-18. On August 8, school parent network chairman Parisa Srisangchai and vice chairman Nathpong Saketu filed a report with police and submitted evidence of the threatening LINE chat messages. Police Colonel Phaskorn Chaiyatwivong, superintendent of Plai Bang Station, confirmed they launched an investigation and are preparing security protocols for the school's reopening on Monday, August 17, including stationing plainclothes officers at the campus around the clock. The parent network clarified that the mention of a potential second perpetrator likely stemmed from student confusion, as undercover police from Lumpini Station arrived to assist students, whom some mistook for another attacker. The school has also announced heightened weapons screening and mental health support measures for students and staff when classes resume.
