Pattaya — On February 17th, 2024, Pattaya police responded to reports of a foreign man causing a public disturbance by walking into the middle of traffic at the intersection of Pattaya Klang Road. Upon arrival, officers found the man, who was not wearing a shirt, walking erratically in the roadway. This behavior resulted in a minor traffic commotion as reported by local media. Concerned for the man’s safety and that of others, officers attempted to communicate with him. However, due to his reported intoxication, the communication was difficult.

A tragic incident unfolded on February 16, when a Chevrolet Captiva sped through a police checkpoint on Rama 4 Road, striking and fatally injuring a traffic police officer before fleeing the scene. The driver, later apprehended by police, was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of 187 milligrammes percent, far exceeding the legal limit. On the night of February 16, traffic police were conducting routine alcohol checks on Rama 4 Road. Amidst their duties, a white Chevrolet Captiva approached at high speed. Despite signals from the officers to stop for inspection, the vehicle accelerated, striking Sub-Lieutenant Nattapong Kaennakham, a member of the Traffic Police Division 5, who was performing a check. The impact caused severe injuries to the officer, reported Sanook. The driver of the Chevrolet did not stop to render aid and continued to flee the scene. However, their escape was short-lived as police swiftly cornered and apprehended the individual approximately 150 metres from the site of the accident, near the mouth of Plook Chit Lane on Rama 4 Road. Following the apprehension, the driver underwent a breathalyser test, which revealed a blood alcohol level of 187 milligrams percent. Sub-Lieutenant Nattapong tragically succumbed to his injuries and passed away following the crash. Meanwhile, the driver faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in grievous bodily harm to others, failing to stop and offer assistance or identify themselves to officials after causing injury and damage, resisting and obstructing officers, driving recklessly causing damage to other’s property, and assault on an officer performing their duty. The suspect was taken into custody for further investigation and legal proceedings.

Woman hijacks rescue truck in Bangkok, sparks police chaseby Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a bizarre incident this morning, a Japanese woman seized a rescue pickup truck in front of the Lumpini Police Station while the vehicle was assisting an injured foreign man. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320261-woman-hijacks-rescue-truck-in-bangkok-sparks-police-chase/

In a bizarre incident this morning, a Japanese woman seized a rescue pickup truck in front of the Lumpini Police Station while the vehicle was assisting an injured foreign man. The woman, whose identity is yet to be determined, drove off with the vehicle at approximately 8.10am, leading authorities on a chase that concluded near the large roundabout in the Bang Yi Ruea area of Thonburi, Bangkok. The incident began when Pisut Chukleang, a volunteer with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, reported the theft. He was attending to a foreign man who had been injured near the Lumpini Police Station around 7.55am. The rescue vehicle had been left running and unlocked in front of the station. Upon completing the first aid procedures, the volunteers discovered the vehicle had been stolen. The police were immediately alerted to the theft. Following the report, Police Lieutenant Colonel Wathanyu Boonnoon, who is in charge of the Lumpini Police Station, ordered patrols to broadcast an alert throughout the surrounding Lumpini Park area to intercept the stolen vehicle. The pursuit led officers and the victimised party towards the Taksin intersection, where the woman was eventually apprehended near the Bang Yi Ruea roundabout, reported KhaoSod. Upon capture, the woman communicated in Japanese, necessitating the need for an interpreter to assist with her interrogation. The authorities transported her back to the Lumpini Police Station to further evaluate whether she was suffering from any mental health issues, as her responses to questioning were erratic and inconclusive. The woman is now in custody at the Lumpini Police Station, where further assessments will determine her mental state and any subsequent legal proceedings. In related news, a Japanese fugitive escaped police custody in a daring car chase. He was initially detained at the Immigration Bureau in Suan Phlu on September 9 last year, before managing to commandeer a police vehicle and flee the scene. The Japanese man, Yuki Yanagi, who was later discovered to have abandoned the vehicle and taken a taxi, remains at large. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Thailand’s democracy index ranking drops due to unelected govt by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of jcomp, Freepik The yearly Democracy Index compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has seen Thailand’s ranking fall by eight places, a change largely ascribed to the latest government formation by unelected senators rather than voters. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320260-thailand’s-democracy-index-ranking-drops-due-to-unelected-govt/

The yearly Democracy Index compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has seen Thailand’s ranking fall by eight places, a change largely ascribed to the latest government formation by unelected senators rather than voters. The EIU placed Thailand in the 63rd position among 167 countries and territories in 2023, a drop from its 55th position in 2022. The country’s score also saw a decrease from 6.67 to 6.35 points. The EIU’s annual evaluation rates countries on a zero to 10 scale. Any country scoring above eight is classified as a full democracy, whereas those with scores under four are considered authoritarian regimes. With scores ranging between six and eight, Thailand joins the broad category of flawed democracies. The top five positions on the index were dominated by Norway, New Zealand, Iceland, Sweden, and Finland, respectively, all scoring above nine. The scores are determined based on performance in five sub-categories. Thailand achieved a 7 for the electoral process and pluralism, 6.07 for the functioning of government, 7.78 for political participation, 5 for political culture, and 5.88 for civil liberties, reported Bangkok Post. The country’s overall score hasn’t seen significant changes since 2019. That year, following five years of military rule, Thailand’s score rose sharply to 6.32 from 4.63, as per EIU data. In the 2022 index, Thailand’s score experienced an upturn as opposition parties were provided more freedom to compete in local and national elections, due to increased political participation, stated the EIU. However, the 2023 general election saw the Move Forward Party earn the majority of votes but fail to establish a government due to a lack of support from the unelected Senate. The suspension of party leader Pita Limjaroenrat, ordered by the court for several months while a ruling on a precarious media share ownership case was pending – ultimately judged in his favour – further emphasised the hurdles, commented EIU analysts. “Thailand evidently lacks established or accepted rules regarding the democratic transfer of power, and its judiciary does not operate independently.” According to the survey, out of the 28 countries in the Asia and Australasia region, only five are full democracies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand), in stark contrast to the 13 non-democratic regimes. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of jcomp, Freepik Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

A heated altercation escalated to a bout of fisticuffs between content creator Jack Papho and Melai Ratchada, leader of the notorious Unbathed Gang, following a dispute over damaged property. Jack, known for his humorous and sometimes controversial content, found himself at odds with the famed gang leader, leading to an incident that ended at the police station. The drama unfolded when a disagreement between the two turned physical, a scene that was captured on video and widely circulated on social media. The confrontation was reportedly triggered by an act of vandalism—Melai had damaged Jack’s car, which was used for creating content and displayed at a concert event. Seeking retaliation, Jack went to Melai’s clothing shop and wrecked the premises while Melai’s child was present, reported KhaoSod. Although the incident might have seemed staged, with onlookers filming and laughter in the background, things took a serious turn when Melai confronted and punched Jack. Social media posts claimed that Melai’s child, who was at the shop at the time, did not know about the impending content creation stunt. Melai expressed anger over Jack’s actions, questioning his judgement. Following the fight, both parties went to the police station to discuss the matter, with Jack insisting that since his car was damaged first, his response was a fair retaliation. In related news, two families living in the Yannawa district of Bangkok engaged in a physical bout of fisticuffs after a pet dog peed on a car. Two Thai women named Ya and Phat shared footage of the brawl with the non-profit organisation Saimai Survive of Ya being physically assaulted by a neighbour called Pop at 9pm on November 29. Ya and Phat told the organisation that they had a long history of conflict with the attacker because Pop’s dog kept peeing on Ya’s car wheel. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Concerns rise as wild tiger lurks near Kamphaeng Phet village by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post A wild tiger prowling the vicinity of a village in Kamphaeng Phet sparked serious concerns among locals, prompting the Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) to dispatch a team of officials and veterinarians to capture the big cat. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320258-concerns-rise-as-wild-tiger-lurks-near-kamphaeng-phet-village/

A wild tiger prowling the vicinity of a village in Kamphaeng Phet sparked serious concerns among locals, prompting the Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) to dispatch a team of officials and veterinarians to capture the big cat. The tiger was sighted in the forest adjacent to Kariang Namtok village in Khlong Lan Pattana of Khlong Lan district, according to DNP director-general, Atthapol Charoenchansa. “Officials received reports of the tiger’s presence and, upon inspection on February 16 evening, found the animal disappearing into the forest behind the village, leaving behind scattered footprints.” Pinpointing the tiger’s origin is challenging, as the region links with the Thung Yai and Huay Kha Khaeng forests. Once captured, the tiger will undergo a health check, receive any necessary treatment, and be returned to the wild, reported Bangkok Post. Khlong Lan National Park chief, Surachai Photkhamanee, revealed that an examination of the tiger’s footprints suggests it measures approximately 1.5 metres in length and stands 70 to 80 centimetres tall. Based on these dimensions, estimated to be two years old, the young tiger is believed to have strayed from Khun Nam Yen in Mae Wong National Park. Surachai confirmed that park officials are keeping a close eye on the village to ensure the safety of inhabitants. Yesterday, a team of around 50 individuals was deployed to track the tiger and aid in the capture operation. The tiger has already reportedly killed a pig, fueling fear within the local community. In related news, three tigers believed to traverse between Thailand and Myanmar, have been discovered in Chumphon province’s forests. The big cats were detected in the Tanao Sri Mountain Range, which forms the border between the two countries. The tigers are suspected of patrolling the forests of Duang Charoen, Nern Thong, and Chong Kamew in the Ta Sae district’s Song Pee Noing subdistrict. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Thailand tourism council study reveals surprising spending trends by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation In an investigation undertaken by the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT), it has emerged that a significant portion of the Thai populace has adopted a more frugal approach to their expenditure in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320257-thailand-tourism-council-study-reveals-surprising-spending-trends/

In an investigation undertaken by the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT), it has emerged that a significant portion of the Thai populace has adopted a more frugal approach to their expenditure in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The TCT’s exhaustive survey, spanning from last year up to now, canvassed the travel inclinations of 418 Thai individuals earning over 10,000 baht per month, shedding light on their spending habits and future travel plans. Unveiling a stark reality, the study delineated a notable decline in expenditure, with respondents averaging approximately 4,293 baht per person per trip in the final quarter of 2023, a significant drop from the preceding year’s first-quarter expenditure averaging around 7,000 baht per person per trip. Commenting on the findings, the TCT attributed this newfound thriftiness to a confluence of factors including inflationary pressures, escalating interest rates, and a sluggish economic pace. A staggering 73% of respondents acknowledged exercising heightened caution in their expenditure compared to the pandemic era, with 87% curtailing purchases of personal products and 79% trimming expenses on travel and entertainment. Delving deeper, the study highlighted key determinants influencing travel decisions, with affordability topping the list at 28%, closely trailed by the allure of attractions (27%), promotional offers (18%), and accessibility (18%). Moreover, respondents expressed a middling satisfaction rating of 3.39 out of 5 for the quality of road infrastructure leading to tourist hotspots, whereas rail travel garnered a modest rating of 2.85, reported The Nation. In a surprising twist, second-tier provinces garnered favour among Thai tourists, who bestowed a commendable satisfaction score of 3.46. Citing reasons such as reduced crowding, competitive prices, and improved air quality, respondents lauded these destinations. Nonetheless, they highlighted challenges including limited transportation options, scant travel information, and inadequate accommodation and amenities. In related news, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin revealed the government’s intent to extend visa-free travel to citizens of several additional countries. This development follows Thailand’s recent decision to waive visas for Chinese and Indian citizens, an attempt to stimulate the tourism sector, a vital component of Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

A pharmacist tragically lost his life after falling from the third floor of the Tha Phra MRT station today at approximately 10.57am. The incident, which left witnesses in extreme shock, unfolded when a 62 year old pharmacist and manager of a medical supply company, was seen plummeting to his death right before their eyes. At the scene under the MRT station, on the footpath’s side, lay Kasem’s body, turned over and drowning in a pool of blood with severe head injuries. Despite the emergency medical team’s efforts to resuscitate him, he was declared deceased shortly after. Among his belongings found scattered near the scene were 1,660 baht (US$46) in cash, US$57 in cash, an iPhone, credit cards, ATM cards, business cards, and a pair of glasses inside a white fabric bag belonging to the deceased. A witness to the horrifying event recounted seeing Kasem fall from above directly in front of them, prompting an immediate call to the ambulance. The witness was left highly distressed upon seeing Kasem’s motionless body, suggesting he may have fallen from the station’s third floor, reported KhaoSod. According to the station chief, initial inquiries with Kasem’s brother revealed that the pharmacist was dealing with health issues and was under considerable stress due to his wife undergoing surgery. These factors are believed to have contributed to his tragic decision. As per protocol, Kasem’s body has now been sent to Siriraj Hospital‘s forensic department for further examination to determine the exact cause of death before being released to his family for religious rites. by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of Thairath Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

IT WILL BE UNLIKELY FOR de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole Thaksin Shinawatra to be held in custody by the authorities on lese majeste charges, said a partisan source said. In case that the Office of the Attorney-General may proceed with a lese majeste lawsuit in the Criminal Court against Thaksin, it will be very unlikely for the authorities to hold him in custody following his release on parole today, the partisan source said. The de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole may ultimately dismiss the charges pertaining to the lese majeste law, also known as Section 112 of the Criminal Code, and fight the legal battle in court without being held in custody. Remarkably, the Office of the Attorney-General is not legally obliged to either proceed with the lawsuit in court against the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole or simply lift the case which carries a 15-year litigation period, the partisan source said.
