BREAKING NEWS Police Aircraft Crashes Into Sea Off Cha-am, Leaving Four Dead
UPDATE Aircraft Wreckage Recovery Delayed Following Police Aviation Crash in Sea Picture courtesy of Amarin The recovery and the transfer of wreckage from the police aviation have been delayed. Experts are expected to arrive between May 3 and May 8 to assist in the removal operation. The crash, which occurred on April 25, resulted in the deaths of six individuals, including the pilot, technician, and engineers. The incident involved an aircraft from the Royal Thai Police Airwing that plunged into the sea. Authorities have successfully retrieved the main wreckage of the aircraft from the sea and have collected scattered debris from the surrounding area. These parts are now being stored along the Hua Hin beach, near the 509th Special Operations Airwing in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. To secure the area, black tarpaulins have been set up, and a rope barrier has been erected to prevent unauthorized access. Officers from the Airwing are monitoring the wreckage to ensure it remains undisturbed. The investigation is being coordinated with experts from Canada, where the aircraft was manufactured, and officials from Singapore, where the aircraft’s parts are sourced. However, none of the investigative team has yet arrived on-site. The data recorder, which will be critical in determining the cause of the crash, is still waiting to be recovered by the Canadian experts. Mr. Prasoot Hombanthong, the district chief of Hua Hin, confirmed that the international investigation team has not yet accessed the crash site. The Thai authorities are handling the investigation independently, in coordination with the Royal Thai Police and the manufacturers. The team of experts is expected to arrive between May 3 and May 8 to begin their investigation. Once the data recorder is retrieved, the wreckage will be carefully examined in Bangkok to determine the cause of the crash. Currently, the transfer of aircraft remains is delayed due to insurance matters related to the aircraft. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-04-29. -

Crime Iranian Nationals Arrested in Pattaya for Stealing Money from Tourists
Picture courtesy of Pattaya Message. On the afternoon of April 28, the Pattaya Tourist Police held a press conference after successfully apprehending a couple of Iranian nationals who had been targeting tourists in the area. The couple, identified as Mr. Ahmadi Fiooj Hooshang, 49, and Mrs. Mahmodi Kiya Ameneh, 42, were arrested on charges of theft and receiving stolen property. The couple had been engaging in a deceptive scam, approaching tourists and requesting to see their US dollar bills. Once the unsuspecting tourists showed their money, the pair used a trick and deceit to steal some of the money before returning it. One such incident occurred on the evening of April 24, when a tourist from Israel reported that they had been duped by a man and woman, both of whom appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, who had asked to inspect their money. The tourist noticed later that $700 had gone missing from their wallet. The crime took place outside the Twin Palm Resort, and the Pattaya Tourist Police swiftly investigated the matter, gathering information from the victim. The authorities tracked the suspects to a room in the Jomtien area, where they were found to match the descriptions given by the victim. During a search of their accommodation, police found the same clothing worn by the suspects during the theft. Furthermore, in their wallet, police discovered seven $100 bills. Both suspects were arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station, where they were formally charged with theft at night and receiving stolen property. They are now facing legal proceedings. The Tourist Police Bureau also issued a reminder to both tourists and general public to remain vigilant regarding their personal belongings and report any suspicious activities Adapted by Asean Now from Pattaya Message 2025-04-29. -

Massive Blackout Cripples Spain and Portugal's Daily Life
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post A sweeping power outage hit Spain and Portugal on Monday, disabling cell networks and internet, halting trains, and trapping individuals in lifts. Officials quickly mobilized to determine the root of this immense blackout, as both nations struggled with the sudden disruption. Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez sought updates at the state electricity operator’s headquarters, while the network, Red Electrica, warned of a prolonged recovery. Social media captured scenes of Madrid and Barcelona immersed in darkness, with stranded metro trains and offices relying on mobile lights for visibility. Traffic chaos ensued as motorists were advised to stop driving due to non-functional traffic lights, prompting police interventions at intersections. Citizens were spotted resorting to smartphones, trying to maintain communication amid the digital freeze. Portugal also endured the blackout, with REN confirming widespread impacts across the Iberian Peninsula. Electrical incidents spilled over into southwest France but were swiftly rectified. Responses from European grid operators indicated efforts to pinpoint the disruption's cause, with the European Commission seeking clarity on the matter. Spain's railway stopped country-wide operations, while flights faced delays though airports remained active thanks to contingency systems. Red Electrica reported partial power restoration in northern and southern regions but cautioned that challenges persisted. The blackout immobilized communications significantly, with connectivity dropping to just 17% of normal, per Netblocks. Media outlets illuminated the crisis, revealing halted metros, hand-directed traffic, and journalists operating in darkened environments. Despite the chaos, critical services in hospitals sustained operations owing to backup generators. History points to similar blackouts globally, with nations like Tunisia, Sri Lanka, and others having faced severe outages in recent years. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-04-29
