In the tranquil province of Ratchaburi, a dramatic and sorrowful narrative unfolded, leaving an indelible mark on a family’s legacy. Yesterday, a 79-year-old man named Boonmee Chaluaysrimueang made a grim decision that shattered lives and perhaps any possibility of familial reconciliation. As the soft morning light spread over Yang Hak subdistrict, it might have seemed just another day. Yet, within a modest home in Moo 5, the scene was set for an unexpected tragedy. Officers of the Pak Tho Police Station, led by Police Colonel Phasaphong Monta, arrived to uncover the somber tableau: the lifeless body of Nat Phetmanee, a 72-year-old man who had been shot fatally. Nat lay there, dressed in a familiar ensemble—a blue T-shirt, grey trousers, and boots—now a symbol of a life abruptly halted by a single, lethal gunshot to the head. Nearby stood Boonmee, the patriarch of the property, holding a shotgun—the instrument of violence—and…
In a shocking revelation that feels straight out of an action-packed crime thriller, two Chinese nationals have accused officials at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok of extorting them and unlawfully seizing their luxury watches. This alleged dramatic ordeal, which purportedly took place on August 4th of last year, is gaining traction thanks to a post on April 28th from investigative whistleblower account Red Skull, spotlighting corruption rumored within the Thai Customs Department. The narrative unfolds with a scene seemingly plucked from a heist movie: two men from China arrive in Bangkok showcasing their recent pride and joy — a pair of illustrious Rolex watches, purchased in the bustling luxury market of Macao. Their journey took them to the Erawan Shrine, nestled near the buzz of the CentralWorld shopping center, where they intended to perform a ceremony rich with cultural significance. Alas, their serenity was shattered when Customs officials swooped in…
Senator Keskamol Pleansamai is no stranger to the limelight, though the spotlight shining on her now may be a tad too telling. With a medical degree from Rangsit University sitting proudly in her resume, it’s that shiny beacon among her credentials that has been confirmed amid a haze of doubt surrounding her other achievements. Yet, it’s not just the degree itself raising eyebrows, but the whirlwind controversy brewing around her multiple graduate degrees and professorship, claims that recently fell under intense scrutiny. Dubbed by the media and her critics alike as a ‘degree drama,’ Keskamol’s educational credentials have become the epicenter of a political storm that seems to be intensifying by the day. In a move that could shake her political career, the Election Commission (EC) is planning to request the Supreme Court to cut off Senator Keskamol’s voting rights. The charge? Misleading the public with fraudulent claims about her…
In an incident that reads like something out of a dramatic thriller rather than a leisurely afternoon, a 51-year-old man embarked on what would be his final journey aboard his self-constructed two-section speedboat. The canal setting in the Pak Kret district of Nonthaburi province, near the Wat Salikho pier, turned tragic as a swift ride ended with both the man and his creation vanishing beneath the waters. It was a sunny afternoon, precisely 2 pm on April 29, when the local police received an alarming report of a boat crash at this seemingly serene locale. The shore, usually a place of calm reflection, became a scene of desperate action. Spectators could only watch in horror as the boat, designed for racing but supposedly on a casual cruise, intensified its pace and collided into a metal pier at a private residence. Once a steadfast structure, the pier was left with telling…

In the early hours of April 29, the peaceful streets of Khon Kaen were interrupted by the whir of police activity as authorities cracked down on a notorious hotspot, a local restaurant named Foryou. Nestled on Ruenrom Road in the Mueang district, this establishment gained a reputation for its alleged late-night revelries and ties to illicit activities, leading to a raid that unraveled an intriguing tale of clandestine merriment and youthful indiscretions. With a charge led by none other than Deputy Superintendent Police Lieutenant Colonel Methee Sriwanna, the operation brought together local administrative officers in a synchronized swoop. The target? Foryou, a venue that purportedly slung drinks from the early hours of 2 a.m. to 1 p.m., a timeframe far outstretching the licence-granted hours, stirring concerns of both law and order. The operation unfolded like a scene from a thriller. A man, identified as Amarin, was nabbed as he tried…

A captivating image has been making the rounds on social media, allegedly capturing former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra during his transfer from a room at the Police General Hospital to undergo CT and MRI scans in October of the preceding year. This has reignited a fervent discussion over the nature of his incarceration. In a recent twist of fate, the Supreme Court’s Criminal Case Division for Persons Holding Political Positions, on a defining Wednesday, chose to delve into the matter concerning whether Thaksin actually served his time behind bars. This decision surfaced after a petition by former Democrat MP Charnchai Issarasenarak was decisively dismissed by the court. The crux of Charnchai’s argument questioned whether Thaksin’s stint at the Police General Hospital, leading up to his parole, genuinely constituted serving time in an authentic prison environment. The court concluded that Mr. Charnchai, lacking any direct impact from the case, held no…
In a disconcerting saga that unfolded in Nonthaburi, a 47-year-old man named Navi was arrested and taken into custody at Rattanathibet Police Station after a string of unfortunate events saw him turning to crime. Desperation seemed to drive Navi to snatch a bag from a young Myanmar woman, Nan Mu Aw Kon, to fund his online gambling habit and daily expenses. This incident, tinged with personal misfortune and public disgrace, paints a vivid picture of a man at odds with his circumstances. The drama kicked off on the evening of April 27. Nan, a diligent 25-year-old Myanmar national, was making her way home on her bicycle when catastrophe struck. It was around 9:13 pm when Navi, on a stealthy blue Honda Wave, zipped past her only to circle back with malicious intent. In a swift motion, he relieved Nan of her bag, which was nestled in the front basket of…
