Ratchasittharam Technical College Addresses Vandalism Incident Involving Former Student
Ratchasittharam Technical College has issued a formal statement clarifying that a recent public vandalism incident involving a Mercedes-Benz was committed by a former student, not a current one.
On August 3, 2026, Ratchasittharam Technical College released an official statement regarding a widely reported incident in which a man was filmed damaging a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The college confirmed that the individual involved is a former student of the institution.
In its statement, the college emphasized that the actions were strictly personal and did not reflect the policies, instructions, or values of the school. The administration expressed regret over the incident and stated that it does not condone any behavior that causes property damage or disrupts public order. The college urged the public and media to exercise caution when reporting on the matter, specifically requesting that the incident not be generalized as a reflection of the conduct of current students or staff.
For residents and travelers, this incident serves as a reminder of the strict legal consequences regarding property damage in Thailand. While the college has distanced itself from the individual, the situation remains a matter of ongoing legal scrutiny. It is yet to be confirmed what specific criminal charges the individual will face or how the legal proceedings will conclude. The college has pledged full cooperation with relevant authorities as the investigation continues.
