In a tumultuous and pulse-pounding encounter yesterday, a suspected drug kingpin was intercepted by the police after a daring pursuit in Nonthaburi. It all unfolded on a typically mundane Tuesday evening on June 10, with the sun setting as officers from Rattanathibet Police Station received an electric report of a police shooting.

Leading the charge were Police Colonel Nakharin Panan and Police Sergeant Nattawat Ketkaew from the crime prevention unit of Mueang Nonthaburi. They heroically found the suspect, a 34-year-old named Rattawat “Ae” Saimai, writhing in pain with gunshot wounds to both arms.

In a surreal and somewhat comedic twist of events, temper tantrums and tipsy tales took center stage in Pattaya, the tropical paradise with a penchant for dramatic nightlife. Picture this: a sun-drenched afternoon quickly descending into chaos when a dinner disagreement turned into an impromptu performance of volatile vaudeville. At the heart of this bizarre show was a throng of spirited individuals who decided that the entrance to Soi Nong Samo 14 was their stage for a decidedly unscripted act of boozy barbarism. It all kicked off when our protagonist, a 63-year-old connoisseur of mayhem named Noi Thapwan, decided that the food he’d prepared for his comrades was not the sole dissatisfactory element of his day. His less-than-impressed dinner guest, Suradet Chaichanaklang, a 41-year-old former soldier confined to a wheelchair, seemingly became the fulcrum of Noi’s ire. Noi’s solution? A bottle-fueled bumbling of the highest order. According to Noi, Suradet’s…

In a twist fit for a mystery novel, a whopping sum of 12 million baht has been unearthed near a condominium’s rubbish corner in Nonthaburi, stirring up quite the buzz. This curious discovery links back to none other than Taweewat Sengkaew, a lawyer and adviser to the esteemed National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), who has come forward as the rightful owner. However, as is often the case in such enthralling tales, the plot thickens with questions over the substantial cash stash and discrepancies in the records of his income. The saga began earlier this week when the cash-stuffed plastic box was discovered. Allegedly, it had taken temporary shelter in Taweewat’s unit, which had the unfortunate luck of experiencing water leakage—a fortunate event mirroring the water-tight alibi he provided. According to Police Lieutenant General Surapol Prembut, leading the investigation from Provincial Police Region 1, Taweewat has been an accommodating witness,…

It was the 8th of June, a Sunday that promised nothing out of the ordinary at a PTT petrol station on Sukasawat Road. Yet, this was about to change dramatically, as an epic face-off unfolded between a resolute customer and the restaurant staff. Here she was, a seemingly ordinary lady, raising her voice in vexation, and her perfectly prepared ramen now turning cold before her. Her bone of contention? The humble 7% VAT that had been discreetly nestled in her bill. This was no regular brouhaha; the lady was steadfast, disputing the 21 baht VAT fee attached to her otherwise unassuming meal of 300 baht. “It’s a racket,” she exclaimed, questioning why her ramen was being taxed…

The neighbor’s curiosity was piqued by the peculiar sight of a car engine idling outside for an unusual length of time. Peering inside, they were met with a sight all but ordinary—the motionless body of Nanticha, a…
