A 55-year-old Scottish tourist, Ms. Henderson, experienced a severe reaction after consuming an excessive amount of cannabis, leading to a public disturbance that required police intervention. The incident took place at a resort on Jomtien Beach Road in Chonburi on October 12, after hotel staff were unable to control the situation and called for assistance. At 12:40, Pol. Lt. Sontaya Khonsap, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya City Police Station, responded to the call. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Ms. Henderson in a state of extreme fear, crying and shaking inside her room, which was left in disarray. A jar of cannabis flowers, paraphernalia for smoking, and prescription medication were discovered in the room. Officers attempted to calm her down and escort her to the hotel reception area, but her behavior quickly escalated. According to a Danish man, who had been friends with Ms. Henderson for over 15 years, they had been in Pattaya for just two days to enjoy their retirement. The previous day, Ms. Henderson purchased cannabis to smoke, after which she began exhibiting unusual behaviour. She became paranoid, fearing that someone was out to harm her, and isolated herself in her room. Concerned for her safety, her friend alerted hotel staff, who then contacted the police for help. As officers attempted to escort Ms. Henderson to a police vehicle, she became increasingly agitated, fearing she would be harmed. She resisted their efforts, sticking her tongue out and making faces at the police and passersby. Police eventually managed to take her to a medical facility for treatment. It is suspected that her erratic behaviour was triggered by a combination of her pre-existing medical condition and an excessive amount of cannabis. Police are continuing to investigate the incident and ensure the well-being of the tourist. Picture courtesy of Sattahip News. -- 2024-10-13

An off-duty police volunteer, identified as 50-year-old Bunchai “Muek,” fatally shot his 41-year-old neighbour , Mr. Witthoon, during a heated confrontation. The shooting took place on the Phai Khwang irrigation canal road in Suphan Buri, with Bunchai’s 9-year-old daughter present at the scene. Police responded swiftly after receiving reports of the shooting and found Mr. Witthoon dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. The investigation, led by Police Lieutenant Kalsin Pakwiset, revealed a long-standing feud between the two men. Forensic officers and rescue personnel were also dispatched to the location. The victim’s mother, Mrs. Jongrak, 63, shared through tears that her son and Bunchai had been at odds for some time, primarily over incidents involving Bunchai’s dog, which had attacked Mr. Witthoon on two occasions. Despite these encounters, Bunchai never took responsibility or compensated for the injuries. Mrs. Jongrak further disclosed that Bunchai had previously threatened to kill her son, although she never imagined he would follow through on such threats. Eyewitnesses provided crucial details of the confrontation. Mr. Thawit, 54, described how Bunchai arrived on a blue Honda Wave motorcycle with his young daughter. After exchanging heated words, Mr. Witthoon approached Bunchai, asking, “What are you here for?” In response, Bunchai drew a gun and shot him once in the chest before calmly fleeing the scene with his daughter. Earlier that day, the two men had already clashed, exchanging insults and escalating their dispute. The argument, according to witnesses, had worsened, leading Bunchai to return and carry out the shooting in front of his daughter. Police quickly apprehended Bunchai at his home, located not far from the crime scene. A handgun, believed to be the weapon used in the shooting, was found hidden in the house. During questioning, Bunchai admitted to the crime, explaining that the situation had escalated after a series of insults. Bunchai, a community police volunteer, had a known history of alcohol abuse and involvement with drugs. Neighbours and relatives had expressed concerns about his behaviour, but few dared to confront him due to his intimidating and erratic actions. The suspect now faces charges of premeditated murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and carrying a weapon in public without permission. He is being held for further legal proceedings.

A disabled man set himself on fire before jumping from a bridge into the Noi River in Sing Buri province, claiming he was following instructions from Lord Shiva. Locals, however, suspect that drug-induced hallucinations may have influenced his actions. At 10:40 on October 12, police from Khaibungrachan Police Station responded to an emergency at the Noi River bridge in Moo 6, Tha Kham Subdistrict, Khaibungrachan District. Upon arrival, they found bystanders in boats attempting to rescue the man, who had jumped into the river but was resisting help. Eventually, rescuers managed to bring him to shore safely. The man, identified as Mr. Chalit (last name withheld), has a prosthetic leg, which detached and floated away during the incident. The Good Samaritan who rescued him retrieved the prosthetic leg as well. Mr. Chalit, who lives in Tha Kham, suffered burn injuries from setting himself on fire before his jump. According to witnesses, Mr. Chalit claimed that his actions were prompted by a command from Lord Shiva, whom he worships. However, locals believe his behaviour was likely influenced by drugs, causing him to become delusional and set himself on fire. Sing Buri rescue workers provided initial medical assistance and transported him to Khaibungrachan Hospital for further treatment. Police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are yet to confirm whether Mr. Chalit was under the influence of drugs, as the results of toxicology tests were not yet available.

In a surprising twist, a local farmer in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaeo province, on October 12, found that the cause of her disappearing chickens was not theft, but a large python. The revelation came after she invested in surveillance cameras to catch the supposed thief in action. Sixty-two-year-old Wipha Saiklai, who resides at 239 Moo 6, Pa Rai Subdistrict, has been raising chickens and geese in a coop behind her house. Over several weeks, she noticed a disturbing trend: her chickens were mysteriously vanishing, one at a time. Initially, she suspected that someone was sneaking in to steal them. To get to the bottom of the mystery, Wipha decided to install security cameras around her property. However, the footage revealed an unexpected culprit, a large python slithering through the trees near the coop. Alarmed by the commotion, her geese were seen honking loudly, alerting her to the snake’s presence. This evidence led Wipha to conclude that her missing chickens were not the work of a thief, but rather the work of the massive python. Upon receiving a report about the situation, officials from the Aranyaprathet Snake Rescue Team promptly arrived to assist. Team leader Boontham Anusinth stated that upon inspection, they found the python, measuring approximately 3-4 metres in length, coiled around a tree next to the chicken coop. Using specialised equipment, the team worked carefully to capture the snake, which displayed aggressive behaviour and preparing to bite as they approached. After a challenging effort, they successfully subdued the python and placed it in a sack for relocation back to its natural habitat. Picture courtesy of ThaiRath -- 2024-10-13
