Picture courtesy of CIB Authorities have dismantled a major counterfeit food production network, seizing fake coffee and monosodium glutamate (MSG) during coordinated raids across multiple locations. Nine suspects, including eight Cambodian nationals and one Thai citizen, have been arrested in connection with the operation. The Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), under the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), carried out the raids at seven locations across Nonthaburi, Samut Sakhon, and Pathum Thani. The suspects were found manufacturing counterfeit products under well-known brand names such as Nescafé, Ajinomoto, and RosDee. The arrested individuals were: 1. Mr. Surath Sat, 31, Cambodian 2. Mr. Pharub Bun, 26, Cambodian 3. Ms. Nyta Ren, 30, Cambodian 4. Ms. Dong San, 36, Cambodian 5. Mr. Yeang Uch, 38, Cambodian 6. Mr. Mon Hak, 25, Cambodian 7. Miss Sam Vet, 27, Cambodian 8. Miss Bun Channa, 28, Cambodian 9. Mr. Ekachai, 44, Thai Authorities seized large quantities of counterfeit instant coffee, fake Ajinomoto MSG, and imitation RosDee seasoning powder. These products were being produced and distributed to markets across the country. The police operation targeted key production and distribution sites, including: • A residence in Lam Pho Soi 21, Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi – used for producing fake Ajinomoto and RosDee. • A warehouse in Muen Sap Land Village, Kok Krabue, Mueang, Samut Sakhon – used for producing counterfeit coffee. • Several retail shops and distribution centres in Maha Chai, Samut Sakhon, selling the counterfeit products. The raid followed the arrest of a suspect in October 2024, who was charged with violating the Trademark Act of 1991 and fraud. Further investigations led authorities to the larger counterfeiting network. Police believe the group had been operating for an extended period, manufacturing counterfeit products and distributing them nationwide. The seized items have been sent for further analysis, and the suspects face legal proceedings under Thailand’s intellectual property and consumer protection laws. Authorities are continuing their investigation to track down additional members of the network and prevent further distribution of fake food products in the market. -- 2025-02-22

The incident occurred at approximately 05:45 on Highway 340 in Moo 2, Takhak, Bangpla Ma District, Suphanburi. According to Lieutenant Colonel Rittipong Mapakhe, Deputy Investigating Officer of Bangpla Ma Police Station, authorities were alerted to the crash involving the overturned minibus, which had obstructed both lanes of the road. Emergency rescue personnel promptly arrived at the scene to assist the 11 individuals, including passengers and the driver, who sustained injuries. They received initial first aid before being transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Upon inspection, officials discovered a pickup truck loaded with cargo parked nearby, with a damaged front-right tyre, as well as a green car that had flipped onto its roof. Additionally, a trailer truck carrying steel rods had veered off the road and ended up in the central reservation, with significant front-end damage. One tree was reported downed as a result of the collisions. The incident caused severe traffic congestion in both directions, leading to lengthy delays for motorists travelling into Bangkok and back to Suphanburi. Mr. Somsak, the 59-year-old driver of the minibus, stated that he was driving at approximately 80 kilometres per hour while carrying 10 passengers when he encountered a concrete road work barrier, protruding onto the road. Unable to evade the obstruction, he crashed into it, causing the minibus to overturn and injure those on board. He remarked that if he had been driving any faster, the consequences could have been fatal. Furthermore, a secondary collision, involving the trailer truck occurred. The driver, Mr. Boonsong, 40, reported that he saw the minibus crash into the barrier, leading him to brake suddenly. However, he was unable to stop in time and subsequently crashed into the barrier, causing his vehicle to lose control and end up in the central reservation, after hitting the pickup and green car, which flipped over. Mr Boonsong suffered minor injuries to his left hand, while the pickup and car drivers, who were not named, only had minor cuts and bruises. Highway 340, which connects Bangkok and Suphanburi, is currently undergoing road repairs, resulting in frequent crash in the area. Authorities are continuing to investigate the crash. -- 2025-02-22

Shocking Murder: Curry Shop Owner Shot Dead While Opening Shop A 69-year-old curry shop owner was shot dead while unloading food to open his shop in Ratchaburi province early morning on 21 February. His devastated daughter, who witnessed the horrifying incident, was in shock. Full story:https://aseannow.com/topic/1352539-shocking-murder-curry-shop-owner-shot-dead-while-opening-shop/

Picture from responders. A 69-year-old curry shop owner was shot dead while unloading food to open his shop in Ratchaburi province early morning on 21 February. His devastated daughter, who witnessed the horrifying incident, was in shock. At approximately 04:25, Pol. Lt. Charoon Mahaphon of Pak Tho Police Station received a report of a fatal shooting at a curry shop in Yang Hak sub-district, Pak Tho district, Ratchaburi province. He arrived at the scene with senior officers, forensic investigators, and rescue personnel. The crime scene was a single-storey house with a food shop at the front, located along the roadside. The victim, identified as Mr. Wiwat aged 69, was found lying on his back in a pool of blood. A preliminary examination revealed that he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound, with a single round hitting his right back and exiting through his neck. A spent shell was found nearby and collected as evidence. The victim’s daughter, Ms. Prakaideun aged 43, described the horrifying moment. She and her father had left home as usual at around 04:00, driving a Toyota Fortuner to their shop, about 4 kilometres away, to prepare for the morning rush. Upon arriving, they began unloading food when a single gunshot rang out. Her father collapsed instantly. In panic, she ran inside the shop to hide and called her partner for help. She stated that the area was extremely dark at night, with no streetlights, and she did not see the gunman. The motive remains unclear. Investigators have reviewed CCTV footage from nearby locations. The footage shows the victim arriving at the shop at 04:12, unloading items from his car. At 04:20, an unidentified male figure is seen crossing the road from the opposite side before quickly fleeing the scene. Later that evening, officers from Pak Tho Police Station arrested the suspect, Mr. Liang 72, at his home in Nong Ya Plong district, Phetchaburi. The arrest followed an investigation that revealed ongoing tensions between the victim and the suspect, both of whom had worked as land brokers. Police recovered a gun believed to have been used in the attack, along with the clothing the suspect was wearing at the time of the shooting. Forensic officers were also called in to check for gunshot residue on the suspect’s hands and clothing. During questioning, Mr. Liang confessed to the crime, stating that he had harboured resentment against the victim for nearly a year. According to his statement, he had introduced a potential buyer to Mr. Wiwat in early 2024 for a land deal exceeding 100 rai. However, he later discovered that the sale had gone through without his involvement, and the victim had allegedly kept the entire commission, believed to be worth millions of baht, for himself. Mr. Liang claimed that he had confronted the victim about the matter, but was met with dismissive remarks. Seeing the victim’s apparent newfound wealth, including the purchase of a new car, intensified his anger. After much deliberation, he took his gun and walked nearly four kilometres to the victim’s shop, where he waited in ambush. When Mr. Wiwat arrived, Mr. Liang crossed the street and fired a single shot before fleeing the scene. Police have charged Mr. Liang with illegal possession of a firearm, carrying a firearm in public without a permit, discharging a firearm in a public area without justification, and murder. He has admitted to all charges. -- 2025-02-22

UPDATE Wild Elephant Electrocuted: Authorities Launch Investigation Picture courtesy of DNP Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) has launched an urgent investigation following the electrocution of a wild elephant in Chachoengsao province. A post-mortem examination confirmed burn marks and signs of sudden cardiac arrest, prompting authorities to track down those responsible. The male elephant, weighing 6,060 kilograms and standing 3.1 metres tall, was discovered on 20 February in Ban Thammarat, Klong Takrao subdistrict, Tha Takiap district—outside the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary. The elephant had a single left tusk, measuring 110 cm in length along the outer curve and 38 cm in circumference at the base. Upon receiving the report, Mr. Kongkiat Temthamman, Director of Protected Areas Office 2 (Si Racha), dispatched a rapid response team from Chonburi, a military unit from Khao Yai Special Task Force, and wildlife sanctuary officers to investigate. A team of veterinarians, led by Dr. Siriwich Supanake from the Wildlife Conservation Division, conducted an autopsy at Khao Yai Forest Protection Unit in Bo Thong district, Chonburi. The examination revealed burn marks beneath the trunk and on the roof of the mouth, along with fluid accumulation around the heart and internal bleeding, consistent with electrocution-induced cardiac arrest. The elephant’s stomach contents included fibrous plant material with a molasses-like scent, suspected to be sugarcane, suggesting the animal had been foraging near agricultural land before its death. Vital organs, including the liver, spleen, and kidneys, appeared normal. Officials have secured the elephant’s tusk at the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary and buried the remains following conservation protocols. Authorities have also filed an official police report at Bo Thong Police Station and pledged to identify those responsible. The DNP is now working with local agencies to prevent further incidents and ensure stricter protections for wild elephants venturing outside protected areas. -- 2025-02-22

Picture from responders. A 54-year-old man drowned in a coconut orchard canal in Samut Songkhram after suffering an asthma attack while fishing. The incident occurred in the Tha Kha subdistrict of Amphawa. Authorities were alerted to the scene after receiving reports of a drowning. Police officers from Amphawa Police Station, led by Lieutenant Colonel Natthaphat Channarong, along with emergency responders and a medical examiner from Amphawa Hospital, arrived to investigate. The victim, identified as Mr. Thitiphon, was found lying face down in the water. He was wearing a red t-shirt and shorts and had likely been deceased for approximately three hours. His red-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle was discovered parked nearby. His son, Mr. Phisit 28, was present at the scene to provide information to the authorities. According to Mr. Phisit, his father worked as a toddy palm harvester and supplemented his income by fishing to sell at the local market. He also had a history of asthma. He had left home around 13:30 on 21 February, informing his family that he would be fishing in the area, known for its abundant fish. When he failed to return for several hours, the family became concerned. Later, they received a phone call informing them that he had drowned. Mr. Pichai 61, a local resident who discovered the body, stated that he initially assumed the man was searching for shrimp in the water. However, after observing him in the same position for an unusually long time, he realised something was wrong and found that the man had drowned. Preliminary investigations suggest that the victim had parked his motorcycle near the road before walking approximately 250 metres into the orchard to cast his fishing net. It is believed that he suffered an asthma attack and collapsed and fell into the water. The body has been sent to the forensic department at Ratchaburi Hospital for further examination, and authorities will continue their investigation into the exact cause of death. -- 2025-02-22

Pictures from responds. A truck carrying nitric acid overturned near the Bang Bua Thong interchange, emitting hazardous vapours and prompting an emergency response. The six-wheeled chemical transport truck driver, lost control and overturned on the Western Ring Road, along the elevated Highway 345, while heading towards Pathum Thani on the morning of 21st February. The crash resulted in a leak of nitric acid, releasing thick orange fumes and a sharp, pungent odour that spread across the roadway. Emergency services were alerted at approximately 09:45 and dispatched firefighters from Lahan Municipality along with specialist rescue teams to contain the spill. Concerned motorists reported the fumes seeping into their vehicles, prompting authorities to close the affected section of the road to prevent further exposure. The overturned vehicle, a Hino box truck registered in Nakhon Pathom, had been transporting four 1,000-litre containers of nitric acid from Samut Sakhon to Pathum Thani. The impact of the crash caused one of the containers to rupture, with the acid corroding the truck’s metal frame and releasing the orange vapours. Firefighters used water spray to suppress the vapours and prevent further hazards before removing the damaged truck and its remaining chemical cargo. The operation was completed without any reported injuries. Authorities are now investigating the cause of the crash and reviewing safety measures for the transportation of hazardous materials. -- 2025-02-22

Picture from responders. An incident occurred in the early hours of February 21, when a fire in a rental room claimed the life of a 59-year-old man in Doi Saket District, Chiang Mai. Emergency services were alerted to the fire at approximately 00:10 and quickly dispatched firefighters to contain the blaze, which was threatening adjacent units. Upon arrival at the scene, responders found the fire raging within the rented room located in Moo 6, Pa Pong Subdistrict. After approximately 20 minutes of firefighting efforts, the flames were extinguished. However, when authorities attempted to enter the locked room, they discovered the body of the victim, later identified as Mr. Anan, who was found charred inside. Preliminary investigations indicated that the fire might have been caused by an electrical short circuit. The police, alongside forensic officials, are conducting a thorough examination of the site to determine the exact cause of the fire. The remains of an electrical pot near a refrigerator was discovered, and investigators suspect it could have sparked the initial flames, igniting nearby clothing and other materials within the room. Surveillance footage reviewed by local police revealed that Mr. Anan had parked his yellow passenger vehicle outside his rental room around 22:06 the previous night before entering alone. Neighbours reported that the lights in his room were off shortly thereafter, only for a fire to erupt around midnight. Investigators found no evidence of a struggle or foul play, ruling out the possibility of homicide. Authorities await further results from the autopsy to confirm the cause of death, but it appears the victim succumbed to smoke inhalation and burns. The family of Mr. Anan has been consulted. -- 2025-02-22

As a result, he was taken into custody and faces serious charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in injury and death. Mr. Narinth could face a prison sentence of three to ten years, along with fines ranging from 60,000 to 200,000 baht, and the revocation of his driving license. The specific charges against him include: 1. Operating a public vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, resulting in injury and death. 2. Driving while intoxicated, causing the death of another. 3. Reckless driving leading to fatal consequences. Witnesses and fellow employees recounted the events leading up to the collision.

In a heartfelt statement, Mr. Nithinart lamented the fate of Miss Sory Sai, saying, “I feel sorry for the woman who was crushed under the vehicle. With public transport drivers driving like this, who would want to use their services again? I urge drivers to adhere to normal driving speeds and not rush unnecessarily. Safety should always come first.” -- 2025-02-22
