  2. Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a dramatic road rage incident that could have ended in tragedy, a police officer from The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau narrowly escaped a collision after a furious truck driver attempted to ram his vehicle along a busy highway. Pol Sub-Lt Supot Kumpee, 55, from the Cyber Crime Division 3, filed a complaint at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station after he was aggressively pursued by a speeding lorry on 5 June. The incident occurred around 12:40 while Supot was travelling from Khon Kaen to Udon Thani to carry out official duties. The altercation reportedly began on Mittraphap Road in the Non Sung Subdistrict, where Supot was driving a government-issued four-door pickup. As traffic was heavy, Supot stated he blocked a large truck that was attempting to overtake, fearing there was not enough room and the truck’s trailer would hit his vehicle and potentially cause a wider collision. The truck driver, enraged by the refusal to give way, then began tailgating Supot at high speed, drawing dangerously close to his rear bumper. As the pursuit reached Ban Chan Intersection, Supot managed to slip through just as the traffic light turned green. He veered left into a side lane, forcing the truck to stop temporarily. But the chase didn’t end there. The lorry resumed its pursuit, following Supot, after he returned to his original route, to the Nong Toom-Nong Yai intersection en route to Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Only after Supot turned off into a residential area in Ban Nong Yai did the truck abandon the chase. Security camera footage from Ban Chan confirms the close pursuit. Investigators have identified the truck as bearing registration number 70-9822 Khon Kaen and belonging to a logistics company based in Ban Pet Subdistrict, Khon Kaen Province. Police are now attempting to contact the company to locate the driver for questioning. If intent to cause harm is established, legal action will follow. Supot, recounting the ordeal, said, “I didn’t allow him to overtake because I feared a collision, not just with me, but potentially with other road users. When he started tailgating and swerving aggressively, I knew I was in danger. I didn’t dare stop and reveal that I was a police officer, as I feared he would ram me on the spot.” “Even as a police officer, I was terrified. My blood pressure went up. He was driving as if he meant to crush me. I’m pressing charges and will see this through.” Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-08 ScreenRecording_06-07-2025 06-28-29_1.mp4

  8. UPDATE No Border Closure at Ban Laem and Ban Phak Kad Checkpoints, Confirms Marine Task Force Commander Picture courtesy of Daily News The Commander of the Royal Thai Marine Special Task Force in Chanthaburi has confirmed that there is no permanent closure of the Ban Laem and Ban Phak Kad border checkpoints, amid public concern sparked by a widely circulated urgent directive. The directive, which appeared to suspend cross-border travel for Thai and Cambodian tourists with immediate effect, excluding Cambodian labourers and cross-border trade, had raised alarm among local businesses and residents in border districts. However, in response to growing confusion, Captain Nopparoj Siripariyapong, Commander of the Chanthaburi Marine Task Force, clarified the situation. He emphasised that the document was not an order to shut the checkpoints but rather a cautionary notice issued out of concern for tourists. “The notice was intended to warn tourists, especially those travelling from other provinces to visit casinos along the Chanthaburi border, who may not be aware of the current security situation,” he explained. “We feared they could face disruptions or unintended consequences if they ventured too far into border areas.” Captain Nopparoj further reassured the public that the movement of Cambodian workers and goods vehicles across the border continues as normal. “There is no closure of any permanent checkpoint,” he stressed. “It’s a precautionary message, not an enforcement order.” At present, no new directive has been issued to cancel or amend the initial announcement. Authorities confirmed that both the Ban Phak Kad and Ban Laem permanent checkpoints in Pong Nam Ron District, as well as temporary checkpoints in the nearby Soi Dao District, remain fully operational. Tourists, migrant workers and transport vehicles, both large and small, continue to pass through the border without restrictions. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-06-07

  10. Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Royal Thai Navy’s Chanthaburi Special Marine Task Force has issued an urgent directive temporarily suspending tourist cross-border travel, at the permanent border crossings at Ban Laem and Ban Phakkard. The measure comes amid rising security concerns linked to perceived threats from Cambodia. Signed by Captain Nopparoj Siripriyaphong, commander of the Chanthaburi Marine Task Force, the official document was addressed to the chief of the Chanthaburi Immigration Bureau. It outlines a temporary halt on cross-border tourism activities, citing the implementation of martial law in selected districts of Chanthaburi, namely Khlung, Pong Nam Ron, and Soi Dao. According to Section 5 of the 2003 Martial Law Act, military authorities are granted overriding power over civilian agencies in areas concerning national security, suppression of unrest, or maintenance of public order. All civil agencies are required to comply with military directives under this provision. The ban affects both Thai tourists exiting the country and Cambodian tourists entering, via the designated crossings. However, Cambodian migrant workers legally employed in Thailand are exempt, and cross-border trade activities will continue as normal. Authorities say the decision was taken due to current tensions, which pose a potential threat to life and property along the border. The measure is effective from 7 June 2025 until further notice. Civil servants across all ministries and departments have been instructed to continue their duties in accordance with existing governmental regulations, while immigration officers are to enforce the temporary restriction strictly. The situation remains under review, with further announcements to be made as circumstances develop. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-07

  12. Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Panic gripped residents of a Pattaya condominium early morning on 7 June, after a fire broke out due to an exploding electric bicycle battery, forcing occupants to flee. The building’s fire alarm failed to activate during the initial outbreak. The incident occurred at a condominium located in Soi Thappraya 15, Pattaya, Chonburi province. Emergency services, including Pattaya City Fire Department, Sawang Boriboon Rescue Unit and Pattaya Police, rushed to the scene following a distress call from the city’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Radio Centre. On arrival, firefighters found flames in a section of Building B, with thick smoke billowing from the structure. Dozens of frightened residents were seen fleeing the building as authorities worked quickly to evacuate them to safety. The blaze was traced to Room 210 on the second floor, where fire crews battled the flames for approximately 30 minutes before bringing the situation under control. Although the fire was eventually extinguished, smoke continued to hang heavily in the air. Initial investigations revealed the fire had been triggered by an electric bicycle battery charging at the rear balcony of the room. The building’s fire alarm system did not activate until after the fire service had entered the building. The unit’s occupant, Mr. Dandrieu Thierry 57, a French national, and his Thai wife, reported being jolted awake by an explosion. Thierry explained that he had been charging the electric bike battery on the balcony when the first explosion occurred. He attempted to smother the small fire with a damp cloth, but the battery exploded again moments later, igniting a rapidly spreading blaze. Despite his efforts, he was unable to contain the flames and immediately contacted condo security and emergency services. Police Lieutenant Sakayapat Chaidet of Pattaya Police Station confirmed that the incident is being treated as a likely case of electrical problem from the battery unit. The room suffered extensive smoke damage and from effects of heat. Forensic officers from Chonburi’s Region 2 division have been called in to conduct a full investigation. No injuries have been reported at this time, but the incident has raised serious concerns about fire safety standards and the growing risks associated with lithium battery use in residential buildings.

  14. Ministry of Transport Backs Down Over Double-Decker Bus Ban on Khao Phap Pha Route Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Ministry of Transport has agreed to reconsider its controversial ban on double-decker buses travelling along several steep mountain routes, most notably the Khao Phap Pha section of Highway 4 connecting Trang and Phatthalung. The decision follows a large-scale protest by operators and a growing backlash from local businesses and the tourism sector.

  15. Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Ministry of Transport has agreed to reconsider its controversial ban on double-decker buses travelling along several steep mountain routes, most notably the Khao Phap Pha section of Highway 4 connecting Trang and Phatthalung. The decision follows a large-scale protest by operators and a growing backlash from local businesses and the tourism sector. On 4 June, over 100 double-decker buses assembled at the Andaman Gateway on the Trang-Phatthalung border in protest. Led by the Thai Association of Double-Decker Bus Operators (TADBO), the demonstrators submitted a formal petition to Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, urging him to revoke a recent Department of Land Transport (DLT) directive banning such vehicles from operating on seven so-called “high-risk” routes across the country. The ban cited safety concerns, specifically prohibiting buses from travelling on roads with gradients exceeding 8% for more than five kilometres or on routes with more than five accidents per year. Khao Phap Pha was included despite, protestors claim, having no history of major accidents and only short stretches of steep incline. The DLT’s decision forced operators to divert via much longer routes through Satun or Thung Song in Nakhon Si Thammarat, increasing travel time and fuel costs. The move also sparked criticism from local business owners, including hoteliers, restaurant operators and tour agencies, who say the ban threatens to damage the region’s fragile post-pandemic tourism recovery. Protestors also called for the removal of Deputy Transport Minister Surapong Piyachote, who oversees the DLT, and announced plans to file a case with the Administrative Court. There were also calls for criminal charges under Section 157 of the Penal Code, accusing officials of malfeasance for issuing a ban they claim lacks legal basis. In response to the growing pressure, Minister Surapong chaired an urgent meeting on 5 June with representatives from TADBO. It was agreed that a new four-party fact-finding committee would be formed, comprising: 1. The Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Transport 2. The Deputy Director-General of the Department of Land Transport 3. The Engineering Institute of Thailand 4. The President of the Thai Association of Double-Decker Bus Operators This committee will re-inspect all seven contested routes, starting with the Khao Phap Pha section on Sunday, 8 June. According to a joint statement, if the route does not meet the criteria set out in the original directive, particularly the required 5km of continuous steep gradient or frequent accidents, the ministry will revoke the ban immediately. Regarding the other six routes, the Ministry will hold further discussions next week to determine safety upgrades or modifications needed before potentially reopening them to double-decker traffic. In light of these developments, TADBO has decided to temporarily suspend its plan to file a court case, stating: “We are giving the Ministry an opportunity to show sincerity and to correct the issue in a concrete manner. However, if the upcoming inspection of Khao Phap Pha yields no progress or clear direction, we will proceed with legal action without delay.” Related article: https://aseannow.com/topic/1362718-bus-operators-protest-ministry’s-ban-on-double-decker-coaches-along-‘risky’-routes/ Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-07

  17. Picture courtesy of Komchadluek. A 65-year-old woman was killed on the afternoon of 6 June, after being struck by an 18-wheeler lorry while disembarking from a passenger vehicle on a busy road in Phan Thong District, Chonburi Province. The fatal collision occurred at approximately 13:30, on the Sukhumvit–Phan Thong Road, in front of Wat Si Pracharam in Ban Kao Subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Charuek Phothong, an investigator with Phan Thong Police Station, responded to the scene along with emergency services from Jaturatham Prateep Rescue Foundation. Authorities found the body of Mrs Ratree 65, lying beneath the rear wheels of a Hino 18-wheel articulated lorry, registered in Bangkok. She had suffered severe pelvic injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The vehicle was transporting an excavator and had come to a halt in the second lane of the road. Nearby, a blue Isuzu six-wheeled passenger vehicle, operating as a local songthaew between Chonburi, Ban Kao and Phan Thong, was found parked in the far-left lane. The rear of the vehicle had sustained visible damage from the collision. Ms Noi 70, the victim’s elder sister, explained that Mrs Ratree had been out shopping in Chonburi, a monthly outing made possible by a government welfare card. She was returning home and preparing to cross the road after stepping off the songthaew when the incident occurred. Mr Boonpeng, the driver of the lorry, claimed that he had slowed down upon seeing the songthaew and applied the brakes, but failed to notice that a passenger was alighting from the vehicle. “I was only watching the truck in the adjacent lane and didn’t see the passenger vehicle properly,” he told police. Two other women sustained minor injuries during the crash and were treated at the scene before being transported to Phan Thong Hospital. Mr Samroeng 60, the songthaew driver, stated that he had slowed down and moved into the left lane to drop off passengers when the lorry crashed into the rear of his vehicle. The force of the impact reportedly threw two passengers from the vehicle, with Mrs Ratree being fatally struck and run over, after stepping off. Police have detained the lorry driver for further questioning at Phan Thong Police Station and confirmed that legal proceedings will follow in accordance with traffic laws.

  19. Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A man searching for mushrooms near the Thai-Cambodian border was shocked to discover a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) and a landmine in a forested area known for leftover munitions. The incident occurred on 5 June near the Chrat Dam in Buachet district, Surin province, along the Thai-Cambodian border. The story first surfaced on a local Facebook page, “Pao Saibunterng Fanpage,” which posted a video clip of the find along with the caption: “Unbelievable mushroom hunt #PaoKitchen #SeasonalForaging.” In the video, one of the foragers is seen holding what appears to be an RPG warhead found in the underbrush. The footage has since garnered attention online due to the dangerous nature of the discovery. The man behind the post, Mr. Latsakorn, 35, later spoke to local reporters. He explained that he and a group of three to four friends had ventured into the forest near Chrat Dam to forage for wild mushrooms, a common seasonal activity in the region. “At first, we were just gathering mushrooms as usual. Then one of my friends suddenly walked up holding what looked like an RPG warhead,” Latsakorn said. “It startled me, but on closer inspection, it appeared to have already detonated or been rendered inert, so I assumed it wasn’t dangerous and filmed it.” He added that not long after the initial discovery, the group also came across what looked like a landmine positioned under a tree. Although it, too, appeared to be inactive, they did not attempt to touch or move it, opting only to record footage. Latsakorn noted that it was his first time foraging in this particular forest. He typically searches in Sangkhla district, which also borders Cambodia, but had never encountered any explosives before. “I was really shocked,” he said. “We didn’t remove the mine, we left it where we found it. I believe the locals have probably seen it before. If I ever came across one that looked active or unexploded, I’d immediately report it to the authorities.” He added that he always observes the warning signs placed by authorities in known danger zones and avoids areas marked as hazardous. The group had only entered parts of the forest designated as safe for public access. The Thai-Cambodian border region remains littered with unexploded ordnance from past conflicts, particularly landmines and RPGs from civil wars and border skirmishes. Although clearance efforts have significantly reduced the number of incidents in recent years, accidental discoveries like this still occur, highlighting the ongoing risks in these areas. Authorities have yet to confirm whether they will conduct a clearance operation in the area where the munitions were found. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-06-07
  20. Crash Claims Lives of Two Thai Students on Way to School Picture courtesy of Khaosod A road crash in Ratchaburi Province has claimed the lives of two 18-year-old students who were travelling by motorcycle to attend classes on the morning of 6 June.

  21. Picture courtesy of Khaosod A road crash in Ratchaburi Province has claimed the lives of two 18-year-old students who were travelling by motorcycle to attend classes on the morning of 6 June. The incident occurred near the horse roundabout in Ban Lueak Municipality, Photharam District, close to a petrol station. Police and emergency services were called to the scene at approximately 07:30, following reports of a serious collision between a motorcycle and a black Isuzu pickup truck. On arrival, officers from Photharam Police Station and medics from Photharam Hospital discovered the lifeless body of one male student, dressed in college uniform, lying beside a severely damaged white and red Honda Wave motorcycle. He had sustained critical head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second student, also critically injured, was found nearby. Emergency responders administered CPR before rushing him to hospital, but despite their efforts, he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the pickup truck, 70-year-old Mr Prasit, told police he had been exiting a side road after filling a gas canister. As he slowed down to yield to traffic at the roundabout, the motorcycle reportedly collided with the front of his vehicle at high speed. Friends of the deceased, who were riding ahead of them in a convoy of motorcycles from their homes in Taopoon Subdistrict, said they became concerned when the two failed to arrive at school and could not be reached by phone. After retracing their route, they arrived at the scene of the crash, where they were devastated to find their friends. The police have launched a full investigation into the crash and are reviewing statements and evidence to determine the cause. The bodies of the victims have been taken to hospital for post-mortem examination and arrangements are being made to return them to their families for religious rites.

  22. Elderly Father 82, Shoots Drug-Addicted Son Dead After Years of Abuse Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An 82-year-old man in Kanchanaburi has confessed to shooting his drug-addicted son dead in what police are describing as a culmination of years of domestic abuse and torment.

  23. Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An 82-year-old man in Kanchanaburi has confessed to shooting his drug-addicted son dead in what police are describing as a culmination of years of domestic abuse and torment. The body of Mr Arthit, was discovered inside a small hut in Nong Krang Subdistrict, Bo Phloi District, Kanchanaburi Province. He had been shot twice, once near the left eye and once in the chest. There were no signs of a struggle, prompting immediate suspicion of a targeted attack. Police from Nong Ri Police Station conducted overnight interviews with the victim’s family members and neighbours. On the morning of 6 June, the victim’s father, Mr Chan, turned himself in and admitted to being the gunman. Mr Chan told police that his son, the youngest of seven children from two marriages, had become a long-term drug user. According to his account, Arthit refused to work, frequently begged for food and money from relatives and had a history of violent outbursts when denied cash to purchase drugs. Mr Chan claimed that he had been physically assaulted by his son on numerous occasions. “I couldn’t take it any longer,” he reportedly told police. “He would hit me when I didn’t give him money. I feared for my safety.” According to the confession, Mr Chan waited until his son was asleep in a small hut located about 20 metres from the family home. He then approached quietly with a firearm and shot him at close range before disposing of the weapon in nearby woodland and returning home as if nothing had happened. The murder was only discovered when locals found the body and alerted authorities. During a police reconstruction of the crime, Mr Chan expressed remorse. “I am sorry for what I did,” he said, “but I couldn’t live in fear any longer. I accept whatever punishment comes.” Police have since charged Mr Chan with murder and violations of the Firearms Act. He is being held at Nong Ri Police Station pending further legal proceedings.

  25. Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A retired teacher was struck and killed by a pickup truck while crossing Sukhumvit Road in Chonburi, early on the morning of 6 June. Police were alerted to the incident at approximately 05:30, near the Apollo three-way junction in Bang Pla Soi subdistrict, heading towards Pattaya. Officers from Mueang Chonburi Police Station, along with medical personnel from Chonburi Hospital and rescue workers from the Tri Khunatham Foundation, responded to the scene. The deceased was identified as Mr. Sanga 67, a former teacher who had retired from government service. He was found lying motionless on the road with a deep wound to his right forehead and visible tyre marks across his chest. A white Isuzu D-Max pickup truck, registered in Chonburi, was found at the scene with significant front-end damage. The truck was loaded with food products in its cargo bed. The driver, Mr. Wiroj 60, remained at the scene and cooperated with police. Mr. Wiroj told officers that he was returning to Bang Phra after shopping at a local market. He claimed the victim had been walking with his head down, attempting to cross the road without checking for oncoming traffic. According to the driver, he was familiar with the man and had seen him cross the road many times before in a similar manner. “I’ve driven this route for 7–8 years and seen him almost every day. Other vehicles have nearly hit him before. I tried to be cautious, but I couldn’t brake in time,” Mr. Wiroj said. Police noted skid marks on the road as well as the victim’s footwear, which had been left behind at the point of impact. Mr. Wiroj was taken to Mueang Chonburi Police Station for formal questioning. He is expected to be charged with reckless driving causing death, pending the outcome of the investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-07
