A shooting incident at a school in the Ban Kruai region of Bangkok's suburbs has sent shockwaves through Thai society. According to a report by the Central News Agency, a 14-year-old Thai student named "Kim" was among the victims of the shooting incident that took place on July 7 near Bangkok.

At the time of the incident, the trapped 14-year-old student, "Kim," had received a message from her mother warning her about a shooter in the school. In response, "Kim" texted her mother, "Don't call the phone, the bell will ring." This brief message holds a deeper meaning, as the student was actually trying to prevent the shooter from entering the classroom.

Thailand's education system has long been considered one of the country's greatest strengths, but recent years have seen a series of problems, including school safety and student mental health issues. The Thai government and education authorities have been working to improve the quality of the education system, but they still face numerous challenges.

The school shooting incident has once again highlighted the issue of school safety in Thailand. The government and education authorities must take immediate action to improve school safety and protect students from harm. At the same time, they need to pay attention to student mental health issues and provide appropriate support and services.

School shootings are not isolated incidents, and similar cases have occurred worldwide, including in the United States and Australia. These cases demonstrate that school safety is a global issue that requires collective efforts to resolve.

The Thai government and education authorities must take proactive measures to improve school safety and protect students from harm. They also need to address student mental health issues and provide suitable support and services. This requires the joint efforts of the government, education authorities, parents, and society as a whole.

In this school shooting incident, 14-year-old Thai student "Kim" has become an inspiring example. Even in the face of danger, she remained calm and composed, and texted her mother not to call the phone, "because the bell will ring." This action demonstrates her concern for her mother and her sense of responsibility.
