Imagine basking in the tropical warmth of Phuket, surrounded by azure waters and hypnotic landscapes. For two New Zealand tourists, however, this Thai paradise became the backdrop for a tale of serendipity and integrity. The duo stumbled upon a bundle of Malaysian ringgit—several 100-ringgit notes to be exact—right at the Chartered Bank Intersection. With a keen sense of duty, they transported their unexpected discovery to the Phuket Tourist Police office, determined to reunite the cash with its rightful owner. As it turns out, this wasn’t merely a trifling sum. Snaps shared on the ever-informative Phuket Info Center Facebook page painted a clearer picture, whispering of approximately 1,500 ringgit—a cool 11,000 baht by local standards. The officers harnessed the dynamic power of the internet, urging netizens to spread the word and help track down the elusive Malaysian owner. Lo and behold, as daylight drifted into twilight, the mystery unraveled. A Malaysian…

In a recent twist that seems pulled straight from a spy thriller, a Cambodian man found himself at the center of an espionage scandal in Thailand’s idyllic province of Chanthaburi. Arrested under suspicions of spying, 43-year-old Oeun Khoem stood accused of being more than just a worker amongst the ripe, sun-kissed fruits of a Thai orchard. But, Oeun insists—it was all a big misunderstanding. The arrest, which took place under the glow of the moon at around 7 PM on July 28, was conducted by officers from the prestigious Marine Corps Special Operations Unit. Oeun, with his unassuming demeanor, immediately grasped the opportunity to staunchly deny the accusations. “I am but a humble fruit picker,” he lamented when confronted about engaging in supposedly clandestine activities between enjoying nature’s sweetest bounties. However, authorities were less convinced. Their suspicions were piqued by several Facebook posts Oeun made concerning recent tensions between Thailand…

In the vibrant heart of Isaan, the province of Udon Thani becomes the unlikely stage for an intriguing mystery. Locals, usually preoccupied with the earthy pleasure of mushroom hunting, stumbled upon something far more morbid—a human skeleton, setting off a chain of events that would send shivers down anyone’s spine. It was in the secluded forest close to the Ban Dong Keng community that this eerie discovery emerged on July 28th. The call was quick, digital whispers traveling through the LINE messaging application to the community leader, establishing the very moment when ordinary life took a twist towards the extraordinary. Strangely enough, the discovery did not coincide with any recent reports of missing persons from the area. The case landed in the capable hands of Kut Chap Police Station officers, who, alongside rescue workers, began piecing together this haunting puzzle. Reports from the Ban Mueang news agency left locals and…
The azure waters of Phuket have always promised adventure and excitement. However, beneath the veneer of tranquility lies the unpredictable temperament of the sea. As the golden sun dipped below the horizon on the evening of July 27, a mysterious distress rippled across the waters near Naka Yai Island. A local jet-ski operator, 22-year-old Chetthawut Hom from Pa Khlok, found himself in a precarious situation—a tumble from his speeding watercraft punctuated an otherwise ordinary day with unexpected dread. At precisely 7:10 p.m., a dispatch came through the radio waves—a call for help, frantic, tinged with urgency. Chetthawut had disappeared beneath the waves, the absence of a life jacket marking a tragic oversight. He was amid his work duties for Kai Naka Co Ltd, skimming over Naka Yai Island’s sapphire-tinted waters when fate decreed its intervention. The scant witnesses to the incident, including Warisara Muthametharit, redirected their fast-paced evening rhythms to…
In an intriguing turn of events, Chanthaburi-Trat’s military security sources disclosed on July 29, 2025, an arrest that could have been lifted straight from a thriller novel. The Royal Thai Marine Task Force in Chanthaburi, known as Task Force Nyo Chanthaburi, apprehended Oeun Khoem, a 43-year-old Cambodian national. The tale begins in March when Oeun crossed into Thailand under the guise of a NON-LA visa, which was supposed to keep the red tape at bay until 2027. However, as the unfolding drama reveals, his residency in Thap Sai Subdistrict provided the perfect staging ground for some covert reconnaissance. When investigators from the Pong Nam Ron Police Station led Oeun in for questioning, it wasn’t just a casual affair. Immigration officers from Chanthaburi and the Provincial Police Investigation Division were keen to delve into the mystery. Their antennae had pricked up when whispers suggested Oeun might be more than meets the…
In a shocking turn of events in the vibrant heart of Central Phuket, a young woman’s quest for phone repairs unfolded into a digital nightmare that could ruffle even the unflappable James Bond. The 22-year-old, known currently as the “digital diva,” has launched a crusade for justice online, embodying today’s modern fight against privacy infringements in an age where personal data is only a click away for the unscrupulous. Picture this: It was a typical Sunday evening, precisely July 27, and our protagonist entered Studio 7, a haven for tech lovers nestled in the Central Phuket shopping mall. Unbeknownst to her, this would spark a tale nearly as gripping as a Netflix thriller. Her intent was simple: a routine phone repair. But as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions—or in this case, paved via AirDrop and the Telegram app. In a cruel twist, the…
On this eventful day of July 29, the air was tense with anticipation and the hot sun bearing down didn’t help ease the atmosphere at the Royal Thai Army Headquarters. As journalists gathered, pens poised ready to write, the moment had come for Major General Winthai Suvaree, the esteemed Army Spokesperson, to step forward and illuminate recent developments along the fraught Thai-Cambodian border. You could almost hear the collective dropping of jaws when Major General Suvaree revealed the critical outcomes of the urgent tête-à-tête between Thai and Cambodian military commandos. Three distinctly strategic zones hosted these diplomatic pow-wows, all striking simultaneously at the synchronized hour of 10am. What was at stake? Nothing less than peace and dignity, shaken by recent skirmishes that threatened to plunge the region into chaos. Sa Kaeo province was one of the central fronts. Here, the dialogue was brokered between Thailand’s First Army Region and their…
Amid swirling tensions along the once idyllic Thai-Cambodian border, a diplomatic skirmish is taking shape. Thailand’s armed forces have emphatically dismissed Cambodia’s confident proclamation of a peaceful ceasefire. The backdrop to this fiery exchange is a press conference, managed with military precision at the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters. Colonel Chaltrapee Poonsri, conveying a firm stance as Deputy Spokesperson, fervently refuted the serene image painted by Cambodia’s representative, Lieutenant General Mali Sojeata. With an assertive tone, Col. Chaltrapee made it crystal clear, saying, “This statement is completely false.” Contrary to the picturesque ceasefire depicted by Lt. Gen. Mali, who notably claimed that not a single gunshot graced the ears of the border’s guardians, Col. Chaltrapee narrates a vastly different tale. She reported that, like thunder following lightning, Cambodian forces audaciously breached Thai territory with continued volleys of gunfire even beyond the supposed ceasefire’s dawn. “Thailand possesses clear evidence of these…
In the tranquil district of Ban Kruat in Buriram province, tranquility was shattered as an unexpected visitor from the sky made an uninvited landing. On July 24, a BM-21 rocket, fired across the border by Cambodian forces, unceremoniously came to rest in homeowner Sengiam Tuprawon’s bedroom. This unassuming 64-year-old resident found not a dream, but a piece of military ordnance deeply embedded beneath his bed, creating a startling 40-centimeter hole and burying itself five meters into the earth. Police Major General Narongsak Promtha, the astute Commander of the Buriram Provincial Police, promptly arrived at the scene with an elite team of explosive ordnance specialists, the so-called EOD experts. Their challenge was formidable: how to safely neutralize the rocket lying quietly in its new subterranean abode. Initial attempts to defuse the menacing intruder were as fruitless as trying to find a needle in a haystack—or, perhaps, a rocket in a bedroom…
