Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a shocking twist of youthful audacity, Chachoengsao province has been rattled by a string of motorcycle thefts committed by a trio of teenagers, aged between 13 and 15. Leading the pack was a 15-year-old already on bail for a previous theft charge, showing a staggering disregard for the law. The crime spree was cut short in Bang Khunak when local police hauled in the young culprits and their mortified guardians for questioning. Discovered at the youngsters’ homes were the stolen motorcycles, initially lifted from the vicinity of Khlong 19 Railway Station around dawn. Commuters had left their bikes at the station as they caught trains for school, only to find them vanished by the evening. However, sharp detective work and CCTV footage brought the juveniles’ antics into stark focus, tracing the missing vehicles directly to their hideout. The adolescent ringleader seemed unfazed by his legal woes, exhibiting a pattern of dismantling stolen bikes to build his custom ride, investigators found. Parents, while insisting their offspring’s usual good behaviour, were confronted with undeniable evidence of their misdeeds. Though grateful and relieved, the victims praised the police for their swift recovery of the motorcycles within a day. But for these cheeky youngsters, the end of their bike-nicking escapades marks the beginning of a sobering journey into accountability reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-21

Photo via Facebook/ เหยี่ยวข่าว ภูเก็ต Newshawk Phuket In a swift turn of events, Phuket police have arrested an Australian couple suspected of snatching bags from tourists in the popular Rawai area. The incidents took place last Wednesday, 19th February, prompting swift action by local law enforcement. The first victim, a foreign tourist, reported her bag was snatched while she stood outside a convenience store on Soi Samakkhi 4, around 9.30pm on Tuesday, 21st February. Her belongings, including a mobile phone and personal documents, were taken as two thieves sped away on a motorcycle. A similar theft occurred just an hour later; this time, a different tourist fell victim outside a massage shop near Rawai Beach. Here too, a mobile phone was the target. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, police identified the getaway vehicle as a white and red Honda PCX, rented by 25-year-old Sam, a visiting Australian. Further investigations led officers to Sam and his 36-year-old girlfriend, Susan, both identified as the perpetrators. A raid on their accommodation today yielded vital evidence, including the motorcycle and the clothing worn during the crimes. Charged under Section 336 of the Criminal Law, the couple now faces serious consequences for the thefts, with penalties including up to five years' imprisonment and a significant fine. Utilising a motorcycle in the commission of the crimes could see their sentence enhanced. This incident has sparked heightened vigilance among tourists and local officials, underlining the need for stringent policing in tourist hotspots, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-21

Thai Woman Fined for Letting Tourist Drive Tuk Tuk in Phuket Photo via Facebook/ Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ A Thai tuk tuk owner has been fined after a foreign tourist was spotted driving the vehicle in Phuket, sparking a heated online debate.

Photo via Facebook/ Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ A Thai tuk tuk owner has been fined after a foreign tourist was spotted driving the vehicle in Phuket, sparking a heated online debate. This incident unfolded yesterday, as a series of photos emerged on social media, allegedly showing the tourist driving the tuk tuk illegally on a Phuket road. The images, shared by the Phuket Times Facebook page, depicted a foreign man waving and giving a thumbs-up while behind the wheel of a distinctly light blue tuk tuk. A caption with the post criticised the foreigner for supposedly working illegally, implying that foreigners are taking jobs meant for Thai citizens. However, many online commenters quickly dismissed this narrative, suggesting it was a harmless attempt by the Thai driver to let the foreigner experience driving the tuk tuk momentarily. Some noted that it was actually the Thai driver who took photos from within the vehicle, dispelling accusations of illegal work. Despite the mixed reactions online, officials from Patong Police Station conducted an investigation. They questioned the tuk tuk's owner, who clarified that a Thai driver had indeed allowed the foreign tourist to drive briefly for fun. The owner further explained that the foreigner, a taxi driver from abroad, was curious about operating a tuk tuk. Though it was confirmed that the tourist wasn't engaged in any paid work, the owner now faces a fine of up to 2,000 baht for permitting someone without a valid license to drive the tuk tuk under Section 56 of the Vehicle Act. The incident highlights ongoing tensions around foreign workers in Thailand, though this particular case seems to stem more from a misunderstanding than a legal transgression, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-21

Photo via KhaoSod In a bizarre incident last night, a large truck tyre unexpectedly rolled into a motorcycle repair shop in Samut Prakan, Thailand, injuring two individuals. The occurrence unfolded at approximately 9.30pm on February 20 at a shop located in Racha Thewa subdistrict, Bang Phli district. Atchara, 29, from Chanthaburi, sustained a head injury after the tyre struck her neck, causing her to fall and hit her head on the ground. Meanwhile, Vasan, an 18-year-old mechanic at the shop, suffered minor shoulder bruises when the tyre bounced off him after hitting Atchara. The shop's security footage captured the tyre's bizarre journey as it careened off King Kaew Road and into the shop. Atchara was present to adjust her motorcycle chain when the tyre rolled in, seemingly appearing from nowhere. Police officers from Bang Kaeo Police Station, accompanied by the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, responded swiftly to the scene. Initial investigations suggest the tyre might have fallen off a moving vehicle, dislodged by the poor road conditions which created an uneven surface. Currently, investigators are reviewing surveillance footage in an effort to identify the vehicle responsible for the wandering tyre. Legal proceedings against the responsible party are anticipated once the vehicle is identified. This unusual event has already begun to raise questions about road safety and vehicle maintenance standards, as authorities urge caution and awareness to prevent similar occurrences, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-21

She reportedly suffered physical abuse, sharing images of her injuries with friends. Concerns escalated when Mind's boyfriend, allegedly involved in drug dealing and wanted on multiple warrants, was arrested two weeks ago—without any sign of her. Authorities discovered friends in Oman contacted the Thai embassy, finding no record of her return. Mind told friends she feared for her life, revealing her boyfriend had allegedly killed three women before.

A relative named Phung saw an online post and informed Mind's distraught parents, Singkham and Boonsri Wilachan. Boonsri is heartbroken after seeing photos of her daughter's injuries. Mind left Thailand in 2020 aiming to work abroad, briefly returning home to help her family financially.

She shared her story on February 20 with the Facebook page เจ๊มอย v+ (Jmoi v+), explaining how her ex, known as Boy, resorted to blackmail after their breakup. Boy used screenshots from their intimate video calls to threaten her, eventually posting them on X (formerly Twitter), falsely labeling her a sex worker. He even shared the images under a post about her daughter’s birthday, amplifying her humiliation. The couple was together for two years during which Boy allegedly abused her and was unfaithful, leading her to end the relationship. Their conflict escalated over a car purchased in her name. Despite having the car, Boy refused to make the monthly payments, prompting the finance company to demand payment from her.

She reached out on social media, asking others to report the posts in hopes of having them removed. The woman has filed a complaint against Boy with the Ma Roeng Police Station in Nakhon Ratchasima.
