Picture from responders. CCTV below. A long-distance coach crashed into a lorry on Mittraphap Road in Nakhon Ratchasima province, leaving multiple passengers injured. The crash, which occurred on the afternoon of 10 March, was the second involving the same group of passengers that day. At approximately 15:30, police and emergency services responded to the scene in Sikhiu district, where a Bangkok-Yasothon coach had collided with the rear of a lorry carrying bricks. The front of the coach was severely damaged, trapping the driver inside with serious injuries. Eleven passengers, five men and six women, were rescued and treated at the roadside for cuts and bruises before being taken to hospital. Rescue teams used hydraulic cutters to free the driver, a man aged between 35 and 40, who suffered severe facial injuries and broken limbs. He was rushed to Sikhiu Hospital for urgent treatment. The lorry, registered in Roi Et province, was driven by 39-year-old Mr. Sakchai Hobangkapka. He told police he had been driving at normal speed when the coach suddenly slammed into the back of his vehicle. CCTV footage from a nearby shop confirmed that the coach had been travelling at speed before impact. Shockingly, passengers revealed that they had already been involved in a previous crash earlier that morning in Saraburi province. The original coach driver had reportedly fallen asleep at the wheel, causing a minor crash. The passengers were transferred to a replacement vehicle with a new driver, only for it to be involved in this second, more serious collision. The cause of the crash remains under police investigation. Following the incident, Anyanee Wongsa, the head of the Sikhiu district transport office, visited the injured passengers to gather information and coordinate further assistance. -- 2025-03-11 ScreenRecording_03-10-2025 19-21-22_1.mp4

Man Kills Woman Over Unpaid Debt and Dumps Body in Ayutthaya Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A 23-year-old Myanmar man has confessed to killing a woman over an unpaid debt of 5,000 baht before disposing of her body in a roadside thicket in Wang Noi, Ayutthaya province.

Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A 23-year-old Myanmar man has confessed to killing a woman over an unpaid debt of 5,000 baht before disposing of her body in a roadside thicket in Wang Noi, Ayutthaya province. Police were alerted late on 9 March after a local resident discovered an abandoned blue-and-white motorcycle submerged in an irrigation canal in Lam Ta Sao subdistrict. The bike was registered to a Myanmar factory worker, 30-year-old Ms. Zaza, who had been reported missing. Investigators learned she had last been seen with her close acquaintance, Mr. Pai Aung Chit. Under questioning, Mr. Pai Aung Chit admitted to stabbing Ms. Zaza to death and discarding her body in a nearby overgrown area. He later led police and forensic officers to the site, where her body was found with five stab wounds. The suspect claimed they had been in a relationship for about a month, during which Ms. Zaza had borrowed 5,000 baht from him. On the night of the murder, she arranged to meet him, leading him to believe she would return the money. However, an argument ensued, during which she allegedly took his phone, deleted its contents, and smashed it. According to his statement, she then grabbed a knife he had been carrying, and in the ensuing struggle, he managed to wrest it from her. He claimed she bit his hand, prompting him to stab her multiple times before dragging her body into the undergrowth, holding her underwater, and later dumping her motorcycle in the canal. He then returned to work as if nothing had happened. Despite the confession, Ayutthaya police chief Pol. Col. Somjet Maenbut expressed doubts about the suspect’s account. Investigators noted inconsistencies, particularly as Ms. Zaza was known to be a diligent worker who had recently purchased three new mobile phones for colleagues to pay off in instalments. She was also reported to have been carrying 2,000 baht in cash at the time of her disappearance. The investigation remains ongoing as police examine further evidence to establish the full circumstances of the crime. -- 2025-03-11

69-Year-Old Rice Farmer Dies in Field Fire Authorities have confirmed the death of 69-year-old Mr Praumuan, whose body was found charred in his rice field near a bamboo grove in Namsom district, Udon Thani province. Full story:https://aseannow.com/topic/1354216-69-year-old-rice-farmer-dies-in-field-fire/

Picture from responders. Authorities have confirmed the death of 69-year-old Mr Praumuan, whose body was found charred in his rice field near a bamboo grove in Namsom district, Udon Thani province. At approximately 16:30 on 10 March, Police Sergeant Warathep Lothan of the Nam Som Police Station was alerted to a report concerning an agricultural fire in the Thung Narim Lam Huai Som area, near Wat Lao Sakram in Ban Nam Song, Moo 8, Si Samran. Accompanied by local administrative officials, medical personnel from Nam Som Hospital, and highway rescue volunteers, officers arrived at the scene to investigate the incident. Mr Praumuan, a local rice farmer whose fields had yielded a promising harvest this season, had been preparing his land for the upcoming dry season. He had arranged for a tractor to plough over the rice straw piled on his field, but the machinery was unable to operate due to the hard ground conditions. According to witnesses, Mr Praumuan had left home early that morning, stating he was heading to his rice field. When he failed to return by the evening, concerned relatives visited the field and discovered his burnt body near a clump of bamboo. A preliminary examination by attending doctors revealed extensive burns, but no signs of external wounds. Officers believe that Mr Praumuan died as a result of the spreading fire, although it remains under investigation whether the blaze was accidental or if he had deliberately set the straw alight. This incident is the first fire-related fatality reported in Udon Thani this year, a region that experiences recurring incidents of open-field fires. Local authorities noted that the occurrence of such events has generally decreased compared to previous years. -- 2025-03-11

Authorities Seize 1,500 kg of Suspected Precursor Chemicals for Drugs Authorities have seized over 1,500 kilograms of suspicious chemicals falsely declared as machinery by a Chinese-owned private company. Officials suspect the substances may be precursor chemicals for drug production. Full story:https://aseannow.com/topic/1354214-authorities-seize-1500-kg-of-suspected-precursor-chemicals-for-drugs/

Picture courtesy of ONCB. Authorities have seized over 1,500 kilograms of suspicious chemicals falsely declared as machinery by a Chinese-owned private company. Officials suspect the substances may be precursor chemicals for drug production. On 10 March, officers from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), along with Chiang Saen police, the Royal Thai Navy’s Mekong security unit, the Pha Muang military task force, and Chiang Saen customs officials, conducted a search at a private export warehouse in Wiang, Chiang Saen district, Chiang Rai province, near the Thai-Lao border along the Mekong River. The operation followed intelligence reports that a Chinese-owned company had arranged for the shipment of two large pallets, covered by white plastic, claiming they contained machinery destined for a stone-crushing plant in Shan State, Myanmar. However, upon inspection, officials found that they did not contain machinery but rather six blue drums filled with a white, cloudy, and pungent-smelling powder, totalling 1,500 kg. Initial field tests using chemical reagents turned the samples black and light blue, indicating the presence of unknown substances. Samples were collected in seven plastic containers and sent to a specialised laboratory for further analysis at the ONCB’s narcotics testing and research institute. Authorities have seized the chemicals for investigation. If confirmed to be precursor substances for drug manufacturing, further legal action will be taken against those responsible. -- 2025-03-11

Picture from responders. An 80-year-old woman was safely rescued after climbing a 20-metre-high telephone signal tower near the Hat Yai Police Station, local rescue teams reported on 10 March. Emergency responders from the Mittraphap Samakkhi Foundation, operating in the Hat Yai area, were alerted to the incident when a call was received reporting that someone was threatening to jump from the tower beside the railway line in the community behind the police station. Upon arrival, rescue officer Mr Trayaphop Disara discovered the elderly woman standing atop the signal pole. Despite his initial efforts to persuade her to descend, she insisted on waiting for her son to join her before coming down. “She said she was just waiting for her son and would come down as soon as he arrived,” Mr Disara explained. After her son arrived, the situation was resolved as the woman agreed to descend. Due to her advanced age and evident distress, the rescuers supported her carefully to ensure her safety during the descent, a process that took more than 20 minutes. No injuries were reported. Further enquiry revealed that the woman appeared to be under considerable stress, reportedly burdened by financial difficulties and unresolved debts, which may have contributed to her emotional state. It was also noted that a recent setback regarding her son’s bank loan might have been a triggering factor. -- 2025-03-11

On the evening of March 9, local village chief Sahachat Sojantuk of Nong Yang Village, Pak Chong, received a report from a resident, Mrs Thongsuk, 53, about a suspicious man on a motorcycle asking for a woman named only as Ms B. The woman, who had left Samut Prakan a year earlier, was now in a relationship with Boonyarit, Mrs Thongsuk’s son. Concerned about potential violence, Mrs Thongsuk alerted the authorities and called her son, who was working on his farm with his tractor. Meanwhile, Piti waited to confront him. However, he later rode away and encountered Boonyarit returning home. Piti stopped him on a roadside near a monastery, demanding to talk. The conversation quickly escalated, and Piti drew a 20cm knife, stabbing Boonyarit in the chest. The force of the attack was so severe that the knife handle broke.

Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A construction worker was left in shock after discovering a human skull detached from a nearby skeleton inside an abandoned railway station in Chachoengsao. Initially believing it to be a staged stunt for social media content, he hesitated to contact the police. However, upon further inspection, it became clear that the remains were real, with the deceased wearing what appeared to be a chef’s uniform. At approximately 20:30 on 9 March, Police Lieutenant Colonel Chatchawan Saengsuwan, an investigator at Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station, received a report of a skeletal human remains at the disused Bang Toei railway station in Bang Toei subdistrict. The authorities, including forensic specialists from Phutthasothon Hospital and a rescue team, were dispatched to the scene. Inside the former ticket office, police found a human skull that had rolled approximately three metres from the rest of the body. The skeleton was lying on its back, clad in a navy-blue V-neck shirt tied at the collar, resembling a uniform worn by a Japanese restaurant chef, along with black three-quarter-length trousers. Nearby, a chair and a nylon rope were discovered. The deceased was identified as male, but no identification documents were found, only 1,600 baht in cash and a handwritten note stating that he had chosen to end his life and requested no further investigation. It is estimated that the individual had been deceased for over a year. Ekaphon, 36, the man who found the remains, recounted that he had been riding his motorcycle after work and decided to explore the abandoned station due to its eerie but peaceful atmosphere. “I saw a skull on the floor of a room. When I looked inside, I saw a headless body. I was so shocked and thought it might be a prank or some sort of staged content, so I hesitated to call the police, fearing it might be a false report,” he explained. Instead, he alerted a local online news page, which led to the confirmation that the remains were real. Thanakorn, 43, the assistant village headman, noted that this was not the first such incident at Bang Toei station. Three years ago, another man had reportedly taken his own life in a nearby building after an argument with his girlfriend. The remains have been sent to hospital for further examination, while police continue investigations to determine the man’s identity and locate any surviving relatives for a proper funeral. -- 2025-03-11

Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A 60-year-old man who had spent decades breeding fighting bulls was fatally gored by one of his own animals in a tragic incident in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The victim, identified as Mr. Yaow, was found lying in a pool of blood at his cattle pen in Tha Sala district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province. He suffered multiple wounds to his back after being attacked by a ten-year-old black bull, which had recently been acquired for breeding purposes. Emergency responders rushed him to Tha Sala Hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries due to severe blood loss. According to family members, Mr. Yaow had long made a living breeding and selling fighting bulls. The aggressive animal responsible for the attack was recently brought in to mate with female bulls in the herd. It remains unclear whether the victim had entered the pen to feed, wash, or breed the bull when the fatal incident occurred. Preliminary investigations suggest that the bull may have been unsettled by its unfamiliar surroundings or was in a state of heightened aggression due to being in heat. Local police have launched an inquiry to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the tragedy. The victim’s body has been released to his family for funeral rites in accordance with religious traditions. -- 2025-03-11
