Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. Pol. Gen. Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn has lodged a formal complaint against National Police Chief Pol. Gen. Kitrat Phanphet, accusing him of failing to carry out his duties under Section 157 of the Criminal Code. The complaint was filed at Pathumwan Police Station on the afternoon of 11 February. Pol. Gen. Surachate claims that Pol. Gen. Kitrat neglected his responsibilities, resulting in serious damage to the Royal Thai Police. The allegations include failing to take action against officers facing disciplinary or criminal investigations. The complaint cites cases dating back to 20 March 2024, in which multiple officers were accused of criminal or serious disciplinary offences but were not subjected to suspension or dismissal, as required under Section 131 of the 2022 National Police Act. A key case referenced in the complaint is the high-profile “140-million-baht case” involving Pol. Maj. Gen. Kampan Leelapraphaporn, who has been indicted by prosecutors. Despite the indictment, Pol. Gen. Kitrat allegedly failed to issue a suspension or dismissal order, in contrast to actions taken against Pol. Gen. Surachate and his associates, who were removed from duty despite not yet being formally charged. The complaint suggests this discrepancy indicates an abuse of power to protect certain officers while selectively enforcing disciplinary actions against others. The alleged failure to act, according to Pol. Gen. Surachate, has severely undermined the credibility of the Royal Thai Police and could constitute a criminal offence under Section 157, which pertains to the wrongful exercise or neglect of official duties. Additional cases highlighted include Pol. Col. Krisanapong, indicted for defamation; Pol. Col. Pheempot, wanted for filing a false complaint against Pol. Gen. Surachate’s wife; and Pol. Maj. Gen. Ekaphop, facing money laundering charges linked to illegal gambling networks. Despite these serious allegations, the complaint claims no disciplinary action has been taken against them. Pol. Gen. Surachate has urged investigators at Pathumwan Police Station to take legal action against Pol. Gen. Kitrat and refer the case to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for further investigation. The case is expected to generate significant public interest as scrutiny over the handling of police misconduct intensifies. -- 2025-02-12

Picture from responders. A devastating fire broke out in the early hours of the morning of 12 February, consuming a six-storey commercial building in Bang Nam Chuet, Mueang Samut Sakhon district. The blaze, which followed two powerful explosions, spread rapidly, destroying five adjoining shophouses and claiming the lives of at least two people. At approximately 05:00, residents in the area reported hearing two loud explosions before thick black smoke billowed from the building. The structure housed W Electronics Ltd., a company dealing in wholesale audio and video recording media. The fire quickly engulfed the premises and spread to a neighbouring diesel repair shop, Pattana Chai Diesel. Firefighters from the Bang Nam Chuet Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and neighbouring municipalities responded swiftly, deploying over 20 fire engines to battle the intense flames. Despite their efforts, the fire proved difficult to contain and continued burning for hours. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as emergency responders attempted to reach those trapped inside. Initial reports confirmed that two people perished in the fire, with three others suffering injuries. Rescuers faced significant challenges due to the intense heat and collapsing structures. The Governor of Samut Sakhon, Mr. Naris Niramaiwong, along with local officials, emergency responders, and disaster prevention teams, arrived at the scene to coordinate response efforts. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration also dispatched fire engines equipped with high-rise water capabilities and aerial ladders to assist. In a dramatic turn of events, three firefighters received electric shocks while trying to access the upper floors using an aerial platform. Two of them regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment, while the third was rushed to Ekachai Hospital in critical condition. Authorities later confirmed that resuscitation efforts had successfully restored his pulse. By 09:00 fire crews had managed to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent buildings, but the situation remained volatile. Officials warned residents to stay clear of the area due to the risk of structural collapse. Authorities will working to determine the cause of the explosion and subsequent fire. Early speculation suggests an electrical fault or a possible gas leak, but forensic teams will conduct a thorough examination once the site is deemed safe. -- 2025-02-12

This CCTV footage clearly shows that the fire started externally and people inside the store are unaware of the fire, until a passerby runs in and warns them. ScreenRecording_02-12-2025 09-57-00_1.mp4

The incident occurred at approximately 14:30 on February 11, when officers from Lan Krabue Police Station were alerted to the fatal accident. The boy, identified as Anusorn Kalawicha, had been working as a labourer at a sugarcane farm in Moo 3, Ban Jantima, Jantima sub-district, Lan Krabue district, Kamphaeng Phet. According to initial reports, Anusorn had been resting in a furrow between the sugarcane rows when the harvester reached his location. Due to the dense vegetation, it is believed that no one noticed him lying there. He was pulled into the machine along with the sugarcane and subsequently ejected onto a ten-wheeled Hino truck, which was collecting the harvested stalks. He died instantly from the severe injuries sustained. Emergency responders, including police investigators, medical personnel, and volunteers from the Kamphaeng Phet News Image Rescue Association, arrived at the scene. They found the large red sugarcane harvester parked near the loaded lorry, which was nearly full of chopped cane. Anusorn’s body was discovered among the cut sugarcane at the rear of the truck. Authorities have stated that all involved parties will be questioned to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.

Pictures courtesy of SiamChon. A 33-year-old Russian tourist lost his life after sliding from a water slide at the rear of a tour boat near Koh Sak, off the coast of Pattaya. The incident occurred around 17.00 on 11 February, when rescue teams were dispatched to assist after the man lost consciousness following a hard impact with the water. Rescue personnel from Pattaya’s marine disaster response team and the Sawang Boriboon Foundation rushed to the scene by speedboat. Upon arrival, they found the tourist, identified as Mr. Andrew Anganov, lying unconscious without a pulse on the deck of a large tour boat near Koh Sak. Weighing over 100kg, the man had reportedly gone down the slide into the sea before climbing back onto the boat, complaining of severe back pain. Moments later, he collapsed and lost consciousness. Rescue workers immediately performed CPR in an attempt to revive him while transferring him to a speedboat for urgent transport back to Pattaya. Upon reaching the shore, medical teams continued resuscitation efforts and transferred him to Pattaya City Hospital. Despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead. A crew member of the tour boat, a 25-year-old Myanmar national named Ni, reported that the deceased had been part of a tour group visiting Koh Sak for swimming and water activities. After using the slide, he appeared to suffer a severe impact upon hitting the water. He managed to climb back on board but soon complained of intense back pain before collapsing. The boat’s captain immediately contacted emergency services. Tourist police, led by Pol. Lt. Col. Suparat Meepricha, arrived to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death. Initial findings confirmed that the tourist had only arrived in Pattaya on 9 February and had joined the tour boat trip that day. Due to his large build, investigators believe he may have suffered serious injuries upon hitting the water, leading to his loss of consciousness and subsequent death. However, authorities have ordered a full autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Police General Hospital, in Bangkok to determine the exact cause of death. Further investigations will be conducted by Pattaya City Police. -- 2025-02-12

Pictures from responders. A violent confrontation in Bangkok’s Bang Khen District has left one suspect dead following a failed motorcycle theft. The incident occurred during the morning of 11 February, when two suspects attempted to steal a motorcycle. At approximately 11:00, officers from the Khan Na Yao Police Station had gathered intelligence about a group of thieves known for stealing motorcycles in the area. They set up a sting operation at an underpass near Soi Wat Siriphong. The suspects, two men dressed in black and wearing full-face helmets, were seen riding a Yamaha XMAX before attempting to steal a Honda Wave 125. As the officers moved in to arrest the suspects, one pulled out a firearm and opened fire at the police. In response, the officers fired two shots at the suspect riding on the back of the motorcycle, hitting him in the head and thigh. The suspect fell to the ground and was later pronounced dead at the scene. The second suspect managed to flee the scene on the motorcycle. Shortly after the incident, the stolen motorcycle was discovered abandoned nearby. Police have launched a manhunt for the second suspect, whose identity remains unknown. The dead suspect was identified as Suphach, aged 24, who had been involved in several similar thefts in the past. Police found his body at the scene with gunshot wounds to his head and thigh. The Honda Wave he had attempted to steal was left behind. Suphach’s wife, who is nine months pregnant, arrived at the scene in tears. Speaking to reporters, she expressed shock and disbelief, stating that her husband had never been involved in criminal activities before. She described him as a hardworking man who had a shop selling household goods. “We’re about to have our first child, and now we’ve lost the breadwinner,” she said, grieving the loss of her husband. The incident has raised concerns over the increasing levels of violent crime in the capital. Authorities have pledged to intensify efforts to track down the remaining suspect. Meanwhile, Suphach’s family is calling for justice, questioning why the police chose to use lethal force rather than arrest the suspects. The owner of the stolen motorcycle, Aung, a 20-year-old Myanmar national, was later informed by the police that his bike had been recovered. He expressed gratitude for the return of his property but was disturbed by the escalation of events that led to the shootout. “I never expected things to escalate this way,” he said, adding that he forgave the suspects for their actions. -- 2025-02-12

The horrifying moment was captured on a dashcam by a motorist travelling in the opposite lane. The footage shows the concrete mixer truck veering into the right lane, heading towards the Phong Phet intersection, before colliding with the motorcycle. The impact caused the rider to be thrown into the middle of the road, while the child, lying motionless in a pool of blood, was discovered near a black car. The crash occurred on a two-lane road (heading towards the Phong Phet intersection), where the injured motorcyclist, identified as 20-year-old Natee, was found in serious condition. He was later taken to Kasemrad Hospital in Prachachuen after being treated at the scene by rescue workers. Nearby, the body of the young boy, identified as 7-year-old Nattaphat, a student at the Khao Tham Thai Housing School, was found in his school uniform, lying lifeless on his side. The motorcycle, a white-and-red Yamaha Mio, was overturned about 10 metres away, while the yellow Hino concrete mixer truck was parked on the side of the road. The driver, who was waiting for authorities, declined to speak with reporters but is currently assisting police with their investigation. Anuwat, the child’s uncle, spoke to the press, expressing his heartbreak. “The motorcyclist is my younger brother, and he is currently in critical condition in ICU on a ventilator. My nephew, who had just finished school, was being picked up and was so close to home. I want the authorities to check if the truck driver was under the influence of alcohol and whether his vehicle’s documentation is valid. The driver did not even come over to check on my brother and nephew after the accident. I believe the truck was running later than the law permits. I want the driver to take responsibility for what happened. We are devastated. My nephew was a good boy, and he had his whole life ahead of him.” An eyewitness, a woman referred to as Miss A, recalled the moment of the crash. “I was returning home and saw the truck coming from the direction of the university entrance, speeding in the right lane. I didn’t see where the motorcycle came from, but I heard the crash, and the rider was thrown into the middle of the road, while the child was thrown closer to the front of my car. I was deeply saddened by what I saw. If this had been my own child, I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it would be.” Amarin Jarutamra, the director of the Lak Si District, also expressed his condolences. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of little Nattaphat. No one expected such a tragedy to occur. The district office and the school are working together to console the parents. The school has provided life insurance for the students. As for the truck driver, he did not flee the scene and has been taken into custody by the police.” The police are currently reviewing evidence from the scene, including footage from nearby CCTV cameras and dash-cam, to determine the exact cause of the collision. -- 2025-02-12

Picture from responders. A man in Pattaya flew into a drunken rage and assaulted his long-term girlfriend after catching her video calling a foreign man, leaving her with head injuries. The violent incident occurred at around 01:00 on 11 February, at an apartment complex in Soi Sukhumvit 75, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation responded to reports of an assault and arrived at the scene, a three-storey apartment building. In room 106 on the ground floor, they found the injured woman, identified only as Ms A 25, visibly shaken and dressed in pink nightwear. She had a swollen head and a minor cut on her right eyebrow. Medics provided first aid before transporting her to hospital. Outside the room, broken wooden planks lay scattered on the parking area, evidence of the attack. According to Ms A, the attacker was her boyfriend of nearly seven years, Mr Wayu Daoruang, 23, who had been drinking before the assault. She said he became violent after seeing her video chatting with a foreign man, chasing and striking her with a wooden plank before she managed to escape and seek help from neighbours. When police arrived, they found Mr Wayu in a highly emotional and intoxicated state, crying uncontrollably. After some persuasion, he admitted to the attack, claiming he had been struggling for the past year with suspicions that his girlfriend was in a relationship with the foreign man. He said he had repeatedly asked her to end the affair but felt ignored and sidelined in their relationship. Seeing the video call while drunk pushed him over the edge. A friend of the suspect revealed that the couple had been on and off multiple times due to frequent fights, adding that they preferred to stay out of the matter as the pair often reconciled soon after arguments. Police are now investigating the incident and considering legal action against Mr Wayu. -- 2025-02-12
