Three teams of Bangkok police combed through the city yesterday looking for students skipping shool at shopping malls and other entertainment areas.
They detained about 100 students between the ages of 13 and 18 as part of a campaign to put misbehaving students into a “rehabilitation program,” the Bangkok Post reported.
Pol Col Wiwat Kamchamnarn, chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s children and women protection sub-division, said that some students were hugging and kissing in public and others were smoking.
The students were taken to the MPB’s office of children and women protection and had their data recorded before their parents were called to pick them up.
