High-profile jail escapee Chaowalit Thongduang will be extradited from Indonesia back to Thailand under tight security measures. Nakhon Si Thammarat Police Chief Somchai Seutortrakul confirmed that a special unit will receive the 37 year old inmate at Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport tomorrow. Chaowalit, also known as Sia Paeng, who escaped from Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital during a dental visit on October 22 last year, will be taken directly to Mueang Police Station. At the station, the murder suspect will face interrogation and formal charges related to his escape. Authorities have planned robust security measures both at the airport and along the convoy route, although specific details remain undisclosed. Chaowalit’s attorney will be present throughout the entire process, which could span several days based on the suspect’s level of cooperation. Having been serving a 20-year sentence for multiple crimes, including murder and firearms possession, Chaowalit managed to flee custody but was apprehended by Indonesian police in Bali last week. His arrest was connected to drug dealing, using a fake Indonesian ID card, and assaulting women. Following his questioning and the notification of new charges by police, Chaowalit will be handed over to Corrections Department officials for further detention. There have been differing statements from Thai authorities regarding the specifics of Chaowalit’s extradition. Provincial police sources indicate he will be flown directly to Nakhon Si Thammarat on an air force plane. In contrast, Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong has stated that the initial flight will land at Suvarnabhumi Airport before transferring Chaowalit to the southern province, reported Bangkok Post. Security measures will be paramount during the transfer, reflecting the high-profile nature of Chaowalit’s case and his previous escape.

Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328877-elderly-woman-transforms-village-with-500-metre-flower-garden/

A 75 year old woman has garnered widespread admiration online for her dedication to maintaining a 500-metre stretch of flowers along a roadside. Initially mistaken for a government project, the flower garden is entirely the work of the elderly woman. The online community was abuzz with appreciation after a clip posted on the page Jae Moi V+ from TikTok user พี่กอฟ พาลอง (P’Golf takes you around) showed the woman watering the flowers. The caption revealed that the flowers, which many thought were planted by the local municipality, were actually cultivated by the elderly woman herself. The clip has since attracted numerous comments praising her efforts. Reporters who visited the site discovered that the flower-filled roadside is located at the entrance of Ban Khok Huachang village, in Isan Subdistrict, Mueang Buriram District, Buriram Province. The woman, known as Kruawan or Grandma Jiw Anantachaiworakul, was found diligently tending to the flowers near her home. She shared that she has been planting flowers since retiring from her teaching career in 2009. Kruawan explained that she started planting flowers along the road due to loneliness after her husband passed away in 1999 and she had no children. Living with her 17 year old great-grandchild, she found solace in gardening. “I wanted to beautify the community and the temple. Seeing the flowers bloom makes me feel refreshed and happy.” In two locations: the entrance to Ban Khok Huachang village and the front of Thung Pho Temple, each covering about 500 metres. Kruawan alternates between the locations, watering, weeding, and adding compost and manure. Morning hours are spent at the temple, while evenings are dedicated to the village entrance. Her daily routine includes tending to flowers such as portulaca, hibiscus, zinnias, and tecoma. Cuttings to blossoms Most of the flowers, like portulaca, started from cuttings given by neighbours and have been propagated over the years. The woman also bought hibiscus and tecoma for 100 baht for three plants. Despite some suggesting that her age made the work too strenuous. “I am not seeking hardship. I get exercise and feel happy and healthy.” The viral clip has brought her much recognition and pride. “I am proud to have done something good for the community and the temple. I think, that as long as I live, I will do my best. It’s better than doing nothing. At least when I’m gone, people will remember me.” A 37 year old neighbour, Worawit Rattanarin, expressed admiration for Kruawan’s dedication. “Seeing Grandma Jiw water the flowers every evening makes our community more beautiful and pleasant. I hope other places will follow her example.” Worawit added that passersby are welcome to take flower cuttings to propagate. Neighbours often bring the elderly woman cold drinks, snacks, and small amounts of money to help with seed purchases and water bills, which amount to about 500 to 700 baht monthly. Village headman Saewang Buransuk acknowledged the positive impact of the elderly woman’s work. He mentioned that the community leaders appreciate Grandma Jiw’s efforts to plant flowers by the roadside, making the area more attractive, reported Sanook. “We are concerned for her safety and have advised her to stay away from the road. We will place reflective cones during her watering times to ensure her safety.” By Samantha Rose Picture courtesy of Sanook Source: The Thaiger 2024-06-01 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe

Health officials address beetle infestation in Khon Kaen Picture courtesy of David K from pexels.com Millions of beetles have invaded a home in Khon Kaen, causing significant distress for a couple until local health officials intervened. The invasion of wood-boring beetles has been linked to the area’s favourable conditions for their breeding. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328876-health-officials-address-beetle-infestation-in-khon-kaen/

Millions of beetles have invaded a home in Khon Kaen, causing significant distress for a couple until local health officials intervened. The invasion of wood-boring beetles has been linked to the area’s favourable conditions for their breeding. Yesterday, public health officials from Kranuan District in Khon Kaen conducted a thorough fumigation of a house located at 74 Moo 9, Ban Chai Charoen, Ban Fang Subdistrict, Kranuan District. The home, owned by 54 year old Naowarat and 52 year old Saman, had been overtaken by more than a million beetles. The infestation had made living conditions unbearable for the couple, prompting various agencies to step in and provide assistance. After the fumigation, a significant number of beetles fell to the ground, which were then collected and incinerated by the officials. A second round of fumigation was carried out to ensure that all remaining beetles were exterminated. Naowarat expressed immense gratitude to the officials through tears, stating that the beetles had been a persistent problem for years. However, this year the infestation had reached overwhelming levels. She also mentioned her own health struggles, including being bedridden due to a stroke, which had compounded the difficulty of dealing with the infestation. Naowarat thanked all the agencies involved, as she did not know who else to turn to for help. Kranuan District Chief Kennesaw Ketin explained that the beetles, identified as wood-boring beetles, had proliferated due to their breeding habits, which involve laying eggs in soil or wood. The recent rain caused the beetle eggs to hatch, and the area around the house provided an ideal environment due to the moist soil and underground water sources. This led to an unusually high number of beetles choosing to inhabit the area. The Ban Fang Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and Kranuan District Health Office have taken measures to assist the couple by fumigating the house. It is expected that the couple will be able to return to their home within three days, provided they maintain cleanliness to prevent further beetle infestations, reported Sanook. For the time being, the couple plans to stay in a storage room adjacent to their house instead of moving in with relatives.

Picture courtesy: The Pattaya News A Swedish tourist's wild antics involving stolen motorcycle and car crashes ended with him in police custody early Sunday morning, in the city of Pattaya, Thailand. Identified as 34-year-old Oliver Joakim Stare, the tourist was spotted shirtless on a surveillance camera. At around 12.05am on Sunday, June 2, Stare was seen snatching a motorcycle from a taxi driver, Thosaporn Meesamut, 45, who was taking a break at a shop. The thief swiftly rode away. The incident occurred on Soi Noen Plub Wan Street in Pattaya. Meesamut shared with local news outlets that this shirtless stranger had —unsuccessfully— flagged him down, raising his suspicion about the tourist's erratic disposition. Stare then pursued him, catching up with him at the shop where he stole the motorcycle. Stare was reported to have subsequently stolen another motorcycle and was involved in a several-car collision in Central Pattaya. The accident saw him sustain head injuries. Seeking aid, Stare approached security guards at a nearby hotel in the Na Jomtien area, alleging an assault against him. Skeptical of his claim, they contacted the police, effectively ending Stare's reckless run throughout the city. The police arrived and brought him to the Na Jomtien Police Station where he is currently detained. As the investigation proceeds, Stare is expected to undergo testing for possible illegal drug use. This will help police understand what triggered his outrageous behavior. In addition, he may be facing multiple charges related to his actions that night.

NSO Initiates First Survey Targeting LGBTQ+ Community File photo for reference only The National Statistical Office (NSO), together with the Institute for Population and Social Research at Mahidol University and the Thailand Health Promotion Foundation, has initiated the first official survey geared towards the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand. The study, running from June to September, aims to collect detailed data to improve services and inform policies for the LGBTQ+ individuals. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328864-nso-initiates-first-survey-targeting-lgbtq-community/

The National Statistical Office (NSO), together with the Institute for Population and Social Research at Mahidol University and the Thailand Health Promotion Foundation, has initiated the first official survey geared towards the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand. The study, running from June to September, aims to collect detailed data to improve services and inform policies for the LGBTQ+ individuals. Kanjana Phumalee, NSO's Director of Policy and Academic Statistics Division, said that past data collection efforts on the LGBTQ+ community weren't sufficient due to people's reluctance to share personal information. This has led to a significant data gap, hampering the development of efficient public policies. A 2019 NSO survey showed that about 0.7% of households nationwide have LGBTQ+ members, with 1.5% of people aged 15-20 identifying themselves as LGBTQ+. Kanjana added that the new survey aims to fill this data gap by collecting detailed data on LGBTQ+ individuals' physical and mental health, living conditions, relationships, and experiences of stigma and discrimination. This data is necessary to better understand and cater to their unique needs and challenges. Porranee Puprasert, Assistant Manager at ThaiHealth, emphasized the importance of current data to effectively enhance the health and well-being of all groups. The survey's results are anticipated to help formulate comprehensive social, economic, and health policies and increase the understanding of LGBTQ+ problems, including health and economic inequalities and discrimination. The survey plan includes a mix of household surveys, targeting 2,400 households in Ratchaburi province and 1,100 individuals aged 15-25 in educational institutions in Nakhon Pathom, together with an online survey of 1,500 people aged 15 and over. After the survey, in-depth interviews will be conducted with participants to better understand their health, sex identity, gender preferences, and sexual orientation experiences.

The Thailand national football team, under the leadership of coach Masatada Ishii, left for China on Sunday, June 2. Their goal is to secure critical victories in their forthcoming Group C games in the Asian zone qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. They are scheduled to play China in a crucial match in Shenyang on June 6, before facing Singapore at Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium on June 11. At present, Thailand stands third in the group, having garnered four points. They are outpaced by China, which has seven points, and group leader South Korea with ten points. Singapore is lodged at the group's foot, having secured just one point. As only the top two teams from each of the nine groups can progress to the subsequent qualifying stage, Thailand must win their remaining games to keep their World Cup dreams alive. Ishii is optimistic about the team's preparations and readiness. He stated they've adjusted their tactics in accordance with changes in the Chinese team's coaching and gameplay since their previous meeting. Seasoned striker, Teerasil Dangda also discussed the importance of the imminent games, suggesting that, due to his advancing age, these might be his last World Cup qualifying performances as he nears international career retirement. The approaching game against China will be aired live on Thairath TV (Channel 32) at 7 p.m. this coming Thursday.

Officials Guarantee Safety on Koh Samui Following Minor Earthquakes File photo for reference only The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan, has reassured residents of Koh Samui that they are safe despite the island experiencing three minor earthquakes recently. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328861-officials-guarantee-safety-on-koh-samui-following-minor-earthquakes/

The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan, has reassured residents of Koh Samui that they are safe despite the island experiencing three minor earthquakes recently. Responding to public fear and to provide security, Pol Gen Patcharawat directed the Department of Mineral Resources to fix a seismometer on the island. This would help ensure the safety of both residents and tourists. The first earthquake, which had a magnitude of 2.4, hit the island on Thursday, June 30. Two more quakes, measuring magnitudes of 2.4 and 2.2 respectively, occurred on Saturday. These earthquakes originated from the sea near the Bo Phut subdistrict and are thought to be a result of a shifting fault line. Both Pichit Sombatmak, the head of the Department of Mineral Resources, and Dr. Virachart Wiwekwin, the head of the active faults unit of the Seismology Division, confirmed the minor nature of these earthquakes. They stated that there was no structural damage or aftershocks caused by these tremors. They also reassured that Koh Samui is a geologically stable area and it's unlikely to face any major seismic activities. Officials from the Department of Mineral Resources are scheduled to visit Koh Samui later this week. They will spot potential sites for installing the seismometer. After the initial survey, there will be a series of discussions with relevant parties to finalize the installation plans.

The famous Naka Cave in Bueng Kan province, known for its snake-like rock structure, has reopened to the public after a month-long shutdown for natural restoration. The cave, situated in the Phu Langka National Park, started receiving tourists again from Saturday (June 2). To protect its natural habitat, the number of visitors has been limited to 1,000 per day. To control the crowd, the park office has reserved 700 spaces for on-the-spot tourists and 300 for those who book beforehand using an app. The staff is working to possibly increase this quota, based on the training of extra guides and staff for an eco-friendly tour experience. To mark the reopening of the cave, the Udon Thani Tourism Office, jointly with the Bueng Kan Tourism Office and the Northeast Tourism Council, provided special wristbands to the first 100 tourists. This is a move to boost tourism at the cave, which is known for its important geological and cultural features. In geological terms, the Naka Cave boasts of remarkable rock structures fashioned by Earth's physical activities including temperature variations that cause decay and make unique sunlight cracks on the rock surface. These natural features give the cave its look like the scales of a big snake, believed by many locals to be associated with the sacred naga, a legendary serpent honored in local folklore.

Grieving mother pleads for justice after son shot dead by gang Photo courtesy of KhaoSod A bed-ridden mother mourns her son, a Grade 8 student, who was shot dead by a gang.

Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328855-grieving-mother-pleads-for-justice-after-son-shot-dead-by-gang/

A bed-ridden mother mourns her son, a Grade 8 student, who was shot dead by a gang. She pleads for the police to swiftly apprehend the perpetrators, asserting her son had no conflicts with anyone. Yesterday, a tragic incident occurred in Nakhon Phanom where three individuals on a motorcycle shot 14 year old Oak in the back of the head, causing him to fall off his motorcycle and lose his life in front of Saharat Rangsarit School on the Sri Songkhram-Tha Dok Kaeo Road. The murder shocked the community. Oak’s 54 year old mother, Jomsri Unglom, a former assistant village chief from Ban Pak Oon, shared her devastation. She revealed that she has been unable to sleep since she learned of her son’s death at 2am. “I cried all night, thinking about my youngest son out of five children. I cried until I was in shock and no longer had tears left.” Jomsri, who is disabled and bed-ridden after a fall in the bathroom two years ago, recounted her last memories with Oak. The evening before his death, Oak cooked a meal for her and, in what seemed like a premonition, asked if she wanted to drink alcohol. He gave her 40 baht, which he had earned from foraging mushrooms with his father and selling them, to buy white liquor to ease her pain. “My son would sleep beside me every day and cook for me since I became disabled. Our family is poor, and on weekends, he would wash dishes at nearby restaurants and collect rubber scraps to save money for school and eventually bought himself a mobile phone.” Devastated family Jomsri expressed her wish for the police to quickly capture the culprits, stating that Oak never had any conflicts with the gang. “Perhaps they shot the wrong person.” Oak’s body was sent to Srinakarin Hospital in Khon Kaen for an autopsy and was expected to arrive back around midnight. The family planned to hold a funeral service at Wat Srisomboon in Ban Pak Oon, where Jomsri hoped to see her son’s face one last time, reported KhaoSod. Oak’s aunt, 56 year old Somphit Nansribut was also in tears. “I want my nephew’s life back. I raised him since he was a baby. He worked hard, collecting rubber scraps and washing dishes to earn 10 to 20 baht, which he would spend on sweets and drinks for his mother. He didn’t even have a bicycle. His life was full of hardships and sorrow. It’s heartbreaking that his life ended because of these ruthless youths.” By Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-06-01 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe

Lopburi monkey mayhem: Biker crashes over stolen durian Photo courtesy of KhaoSod A Lopburi monkey caused chaos by leaping onto a motorcycle and snatching a bag of durian, leading to the rider crashing and sustaining injuries. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328854-lopburi-monkey-mayhem-biker-crashes-over-stolen-durian/

A Lopburi monkey caused chaos by leaping onto a motorcycle and snatching a bag of durian, leading to the rider crashing and sustaining injuries. The incident, captured on video, showed the monkey seizing the bag from a man riding past Phra Prang Sam Yot, resulting in the rider being bitten and requiring hospital treatment. Doctors indicated that the wounds were deep, necessitating daily injections to prevent infection. Krissada Kamthet was identified as the injured rider. The 37 year old Thai man sustained bite wounds on his left upper arm and right knee, which were treated and bandaged by medical staff. Krissada, who works for a motor oil company, shared that he commutes past Phra Prang Sam Yot daily after work. On this particular day, he had stopped to buy a pack of durian, costing 350 baht, to enjoy with his wife at home. Krissada narrated his ordeal, saying he had hung the durian on the left handlebar of his motorcycle. As he approached the Wisayachanchan Road intersection near the San Phra Kan shrine, traffic was congested due to an approaching train. With traffic slowing down, a large monkey from the sidewalk darted through the vehicles and jumped onto his motorcycle’s back seat. “I knew instantly that the monkey was after the durian.” Krissada attempted to clutch the durian bag to his chest, but the persistent monkey kept trying to snatch it even as the motorcycle moved. In the struggle, Krissada used his hand to fend off the monkey, but he was bitten on the arm, causing him to lose control and crash. Despite the crash, the monkey successfully grabbed the durian bag and shamelessly ate it in front of Krissada. “As a local of Lopburi, I thought I was cautious, but I still got caught off guard. I missed out on the durian and now have to deal with these injuries.” By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-06-01 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe

A London-based couple were amazed by the remarkable architecture of an airport in Thailand. They shared their experience on TikTok under their shared account, @dcandkd. Their video, posted on March 26th, has garnered a significant number of views, currently standing at 146,900. The couple, 32-year-old content creator and songwriter Daniel, along with 27-year-old content creator and dancer Nakita, recorded their time at Koh Samui Airport. This airport, located on Thailand's east coast, absolutely astounded them. After spending two weeks on the island, they were heading to Bangkok and then back to London when they noticed the unique features of the airport. Their video showed an unusual airport, filled with green foliage, providing a relaxing environment for passengers on bean bags, sun loungers, and outdoor café tables. In the video, Daniel says, "Arriving in Koh Samui, you don't see the airport's beauty in as much detail as when you leave it. After checking in our luggage, we were struck by how stunning it was, with everything being outdoors." What left the biggest impression on the couple was the open-air setting and a scenic lake inside the departure area. They had never seen an airport designed like this, resembling a hotel resort. Nakita captured more unique features in the video, such as spots with bean bags amidst trees, outdoor café tables, a pathway surrounded by trees, and a quaint lake filled with lily pads. Daniel was visibly impressed. He described it as being, "Incredibly beautiful, it's like being in a hotel resort. This is the first time I've seen an airport like this". The cleanliness of the airport, the variety of shops, and the calm atmosphere particularly impressed them. They said, "You could unwind there the whole day. The ambiance is so calming that it doesn't feel like you're traveling. You're picked up in a buggy and transported to the plane, which was also spacious and clean."
