These open air concerts are hotspot for fights. Need men with guns to take care of the potential troublemakers. Believe the concert is sponsored by the navy for some occasion.

Not advisable to go alone or without the locals. If die die must go, make sure you hang around near the exit, in case of pia chui.

My first experience then was during a SAF reservists end of overseas exercise dinner cum concert in the camp.....all the thai military guys drunk and dancing......jostling for the pretty thai singer on stage.......knn joking gestures became haywire when one of the guys (RP at the camp) pulled out his pistol waving around....and fired few rounds in the air!!! nabei all the sinkie guys jump for cover under the tables!!! finally an cool thai officer walked right up to the him slapped him hard and wrestled gun away....guy was taken away.......then as if nothing happened party carried on as per normal.......

After a few times of seeing such incidents i also seasoned and dun dive for under the tables liao

Sound like a Western movie bar scene Pii Narong . . . . . during my exercise Crocodile I met a local medic lance corporal, he'd been to 2 tour of duties in Aranyaprathet (80s - Vietnam invasion of Cambodia and Vietnam border raids into Thailand) got shot once and waiting to go for his 3rd tour, can you imagine still a lance corporal.

The officers i met then came up from other ranks types.......so a LTA or CAPT already in their 30s at least......very experienced soldiers almost all with real combat experience. Our SAF scholars stand next to them looked like school kids. I had an thai master sgt driver who used to drive ammo to the frontline.......shared with me his funny and danger stories......

To be honest i think most militaries around the world would make sinkie soldiers look like kids especially those higher ranked ones that have 0 combat experience.
