Local residents in Nakhon Ratchasima have raised concerns after a group of over 20 modified cars blocked a tunnel to film videos, prompting calls for official investigation.
On September 2, 2026, Khaosod Online reported on a viral incident involving a group of more than 20 modified vehicles that gathered inside the Pradok intersection tunnel in Nakhon Ratchasima. According to the report, the group occupied the tunnel to film video content, leading to widespread public criticism regarding the safety and legality of their actions.
Witnesses and local residents expressed significant concern, noting that the group’s behavior obstructed traffic and posed a risk to other road users.

The gathering has sparked a public demand for local authorities to investigate the incident and take action against those who violated traffic laws.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights potential disruptions to traffic flow and safety hazards caused by unauthorized gatherings in public infrastructure.
