In a bizarre turn of events at the bustling Mo Chit Bus Terminal, a 50-year-old man found himself at the wrong end of the law after concocting a dramatic tale of rescue and peril. The protagonist of this peculiar saga, Somnitch Duangnet, claimed that his young bride, supposedly trapped under the rubble of the collapsed State Audit Office building, needed urgent assistance. According to him, the damsel in distress, 23-year-old Korwipha Sonbubpha, was four months into her pregnancy and had been working on the fourth floor when disaster struck, leaving her unreachable and buried beneath debris.
However, in a remarkable turn of events, the press decided to perform their version of investigative journalism and reached out to the very woman at the center of the drama. As it unfolded, Korwipha clarified that not only were the claims untrue, but she was also more than a mere figment of Somnitch’s imagination. In fact, she was the rightful owner of the identity card he had brandished in his false narrative—a relic from her days working as a clerk in a shopping mall nestled in the Rama 9 area, which she had returned when she left the job in 2019.
Understandably taken aback, Korwipha expressed her surprise at how her abandoned identity card came into Somnitch’s possession, as if her past had come back to haunt her with an unexpected twist. The revelation left her family rattled, initially sending them into a frenzy of fear for her life. Determined to set things right, Korwipha approached Bang Sue Police Station and filed a complaint against Somnitch, asserting she was completely unfamiliar with him or his fabricated tale.
The law moved swiftly, and on March 31, the vigilant officers of the Bang Sue Police Station, supported by the crack investigative team of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, swooped down on Somnitch at the Mo Chit Bus Terminal. His next stop: an orchestrated journey to Bang Sue Police Station, where he faced the customary questioning under the watchful eyes of Police Major General Noppasin Poolsawat, Deputy Commissioner of the renowned Metropolitan Police Bureau. Reports from KhaoSod confirmed this unusual encounter, capturing the attention of an audience thirsty for more than just the same old news cycle.
Meanwhile, amidst this theatrical real-world drama, another natural occurrence added an extra layer to the day. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) confirmed a minor aftershock from a distant earthquake in Myanmar, felt gently swaying across several of Bangkok’s high-rise structures at the fairly unassuming hour of 11:08 a.m. While it nudged residents out of their comfort zones and triggered temporary evacuations in some buildings, the TMD assured the public that this tremor, while noticeable, posed no significant threat to the bustling city of Bangkok.
Furthermore, as the day unfolded, Thailand’s bustling news arena continued to narrate stories ranging from tragic to intriguing. Reports chronicled everything from a Pavement pirate outrage in Pattaya to the haunting toll of a building collapse in Bangkok. Through it all, each narrative ricocheted across the nation, accompanied by cries for attention and change, highlighting the pulse of a country forever evolving and seldom static.
With such a vibrant blend of eccentric characters, dramatic digressions, and ever-present elements of the unexpected, the news in Thailand seems content to challenge the conventions of ordinary storytelling. A simple cycle of routine reportage? Perhaps not. Instead, the stories weave a colorful tapestry of human experiences, each as unpredictable and enthralling as the last.
Why would someone go to such lengths to fabricate a story? It’s unbelievable that people could make up such wild tales without considering the consequences.
It’s attention-seeking behavior. Some people thrive on drama and chaos, sadly.
That’s true, but it’s sad for the people who get caught up in it. Korwipha must have been terrified at first!
It makes you wonder what kind of mental state he was in to do this. Maybe there’s more to the story that we don’t know?
That’s a good point, Anna. It’s hard to understand someone’s motives without knowing their background.
If people weren’t so gullible, stories like these wouldn’t gain traction. The media didn’t help by sensationalizing it either.
True, but in today’s world, sensationalism sells. Though I agree, verifying facts should always be the priority.
Exactly, Mari. Integrity in journalism seems a lost art these days.
I’m intrigued by how he got her ID in the first place. That’s such a random item to have.
I thought the same thing! Maybe it was stolen or found somewhere. Either way, it’s alarming.
While the story is quite wild, it’s good to know the police acted promptly. It’s reassuring to see them take swift action.
This just shows how easy it is to spread misinformation nowadays. People really need to fact-check before freaking out.
Yeah, it’s crucial to verify sources. The digital age has made misinformation a whole new beast.
Why wasn’t there more focus on the earthquake in the article? That seems like an important issue to cover too.
Maybe Somnitch had some sort of mental health issue. A sane person wouldn’t fabricate such a bizarre story.
Mental health could indeed be a factor here. Stunts like these sometimes stem from complex personal issues.
Exactly, DrMike. It’d be interesting to see his side of the story too.
This is such a weird story, straight out of a TV drama! Reality is stranger than fiction for sure.
Totally agree, Zara! You can’t make this stuff up…well, unless you’re Somnitch, I guess.
Haha, point taken, Harry!
Won’t lie, this was an entertaining read. But seriously, what’s happening to people these days?
People have always been nuts, Billy. Social media just puts a spotlight on it.
Could Korwipha sue for emotional distress? This seems like grounds for a legal case.
Definitely a possibility. False claims involving someone’s life can be damaging, legally and mentally.
This is why I always keep my personal info secure. You never know in whose hands it might end up.
It seems like we have a real-life con artist on our hands. What was his end game?
The whole event with the tremor should remind us how fragile the ground literally is beneath our feet.
I’m relieved that police were effective in this case, but let’s not overlook that not all stories end this way.
I think the psychological aspect of this story deserves more attention. What drives someone to fabricate such a narrative?
