As far as I understand it they think of themselves as women and use the polite female particle KA.

CCTV still published in Thairath last Friday (25/05/12) showing the incident in Bangkok's Bangna district referred to in the OP.
Initially the rampaging technical students tried to get the no 129 bus driver to stop so they they could get at their targets in the bus, but when he refused they shot into the bus where a bank employee was injured by a stray bullet.

This is scary - that guns are so easily avialable and used wantonly.
Last year they took to throwing home-made bombs on the bus too.

Looking in a few dictionaries, in addition to being a unit of length equal to 1/8", it's apparently also a unit of weight used by jewellers equal to ca 375mg and is of Chinese origin.
As a unit of length, found one Thai website stating it's used to measure the diameters of pipes less than 1".
Think it can be used for nail lengths too
eg
ขอซื้อตะปู 2 หุนสักขีด
PS if you look on an English ruler, you'll often find the inches are divided into 8 sections. I guess we just don't have a name for it.
