In the tranquil northern province of Nan, Thailand, a scene worthy of a suspenseful thriller unfolded, only to be diffused by an unexpected twist. A Thai woman, living in the picturesque Du Tai sub-district, found herself in the center of a small-scale bomb scare that had her pulse racing and imagination conjuring up all possibilities. The package resting ominously outside her doorstep bore nothing more than her address.

Gravely concerned that the parcel could be sinisterly ticking away with danger, the EOD experts arrived on the scene with practiced caution. However, their seasoned intuition hinted at something peculiar — the package was deceptively light, a fact that didn’t quite align with typical explosive paraphernalia. With the Idaho Jones of…

The ever-energetic Phra Khanong district became the stage for what began as an all-too-familiar tale of public indecency and spiraled into a caper worthy of international news. Kamla, a 38-year-old man, found his night taking a rather odd turn when he decided to behave indecently in public—a decision that was both unwise and, as fate would have it, quite disruptive. It was a little after 9 PM when the tranquility at the tail end of Soi Sukhumvit 50 became a bit more spectacular than usual. Kamla, with a flair for the dramatic, apparently chose that as the right moment and place for his antics. Reports came trickling in of a man who had decided that clothes were optional and poor behavior quite mandatory, creating a scene…

In the early hours of March 5th, as the city of Bangkok was still enveloped in a silent slumber, an unforeseen tragedy unfolded along Phetkasem Road—a bustling thoroughfare that winds its way through Phetchaburi province. The morning mist hadn’t yet lifted when a harrowing accident broke the predawn tranquility, claiming a life and scattering coconuts across the asphalt. The ill-fated moment occurred at 4:40 AM at kilometre marker 177+200 in Cha-am district.

Police Lieutenant Butsakorn Wongsaroj, a diligent officer from Cha-am Police Station, was quick to arrive on the scene, accompanied…
