On August 13, 2026, Matichon Online reported that a well-known school in Phrae province implemented heightened security protocols following a series of online threats involving potential violence. Local police and educational officials have collaborated to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of the campus.
According to the report, authorities successfully identified the individual responsible for the social media posts as a former student of the institution. While the immediate threat has been addressed through this identification and increased police presence, the incident has prompted a swift response from local authorities to maintain order and reassure the school community.
