Police have apprehended six teenagers involved in a brawl at a concert in Nakhon Ratchasima. The fight stemmed from a misunderstanding when one group thought the other was giving them the middle finger while dancing and raising their hands at the Wang Nam Khieo tourism season opening concert on November 10 at the district stadium. On November 13, 2026, Pol. Lt. Col. Wiraphon Rabiapho, chief of Wang Nam Khieo Police Station, revealed that investigators had tracked down and brought in all six suspects, who are all male youths. Preliminary questioning revealed that before the incident, both groups were in front of the stage dancing and raising their hands, causing the other side to mistakenly believe they were being flipped off. After the concert ended, the two groups encountered each other again outside the venue and began questioning each other, which escalated into a verbal argument and then a physical brawl as seen in video clips. Police have initially charged them with affray before handing them over to investigators for further legal proceedings.
