Loei Pittayakom School in Loei province suspended on-site classes on Friday after discovering online chat messages in which a Matthayom Suksa 2 (Grade 8) student allegedly told a friend that he was planning to carry out a shooting at the school, reportedly inspired by the Aug 7 attack near Bangkok.
The co-educational secondary school in the Northeast notified parents via its Line group late on Thursday night that classes would be held online for one day, while teachers and staff would work from home until the situation had returned to normal.
