Forest Official Arrested for Carrying Firearm on Bus to Korat
Picture of arrest A forestry official has been arrested at Bangkok’s Chatuchak Bus Terminal for carrying a firearm while travelling to visit his girlfriend in Nakhon Ratchasima. He claimed he was afraid of leaving the weapon at home due to concerns over theft. At approximately 08:30, on February 18, Pol. Lt. Col. Woraphat Sukthai, Deputy Superintendent of Bang Sue Police Station, received a report from security officers at the Bangkok Bus Terminal, about a suspicious man carrying a firearm. Police officers, including Pol. Capt. Piyarat Pawitthatri and other members of the Bang Sue patrol unit, were dispatched to investigate. Upon arrival, officers identified the suspect as Mr. Chaiwat, 52, a resident of Phang Nga province. He was preparing to board a bus to Nakhon Ratchasima when police noticed his nervous behaviour. A search of his shoulder bag uncovered a 9mm semi-automatic pistol (serial number VJC0308 – Bangkok 4411363), along with a magazine, 10 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and a black gun holster. Mr. Chaiwat was immediately charged with illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition without a permit to carry (under Section 12 of the Firearms Act) and for carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause. During questioning, he stated that he worked for the Department of Forestry and was travelling to Phimai district in Nakhon Ratchasima to visit his girlfriend. He explained that he had taken the firearm with him because his house was often left unoccupied, and he feared it might be stolen. Although the weapon was legally registered, he admitted that he did not have a permit to carry it in public. The suspect has been handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings. -- 2025-02-19 -

Thai PM Calms Tensions Over Cambodian Anthem Incident
Prasat Ta Muean Thom temple. Picture courtesy: Wikipedia An incident at Prasat Ta Muean Thom temple in Surin has rekindled historical tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, sparking concern among locals and officials alike. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has sought to downplay the situation, urging calm and emphasising diplomatic relations. The incident unfolded when a group of 25 Cambodian women, dressed in traditional garb, visited the temple in Phanom Dong Rak, Surin province, on February 13th. As they began to sing the Cambodian national anthem, Thai soldiers intervened, prompting a heated exchange with a Cambodian military officer. The brief standoff at the 11th-century temple highlighted the sensitive nature of the border area, long contested by both nations. Prime Minister Paetongtarn responded to the incident, stating, "It’s nothing," and reassuring the public of her intent to visit Cambodia soon to smooth over any misunderstandings. "There is no problem," she reiterated, expressing her commitment to maintaining cordial relations. Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai elaborated on the situation, underscoring the temple's location on Thai soil despite historical disputes. He noted that while Thailand permits Cambodian visits to the temple, overt symbolic gestures, like singing a national anthem, are discouraged as they can reignite dormant tensions. The historical backdrop of this incident involves the Preah Vihear temple, another flashpoint in Thai-Cambodian relations. Disagreements over the temple's ownership escalated into a military clash in 2008. A subsequent ruling in 2013 by the International Court of Justice delineated the land, attributing areas around the temple to Cambodia, while specifying northern territories as Thai. In the wake of the Surin incident, the Suranaree Task Force submitted a formal request to Cambodia's 4th Military Region, expressing discomfort with the anthem singing. Maj Gen Somphob Pharawet, commander of the task force, has since instructed his troops to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, aiming to keep the peace along the delicate border. As diplomatic efforts continue, both nations are reminded of the delicate balance required to manage their shared history and geography. The Thai government's measured response and commitment to dialogue signal a desire to manage tensions constructively, ensuring stability and cooperation in the region. The overarching goal remains maintaining harmony and goodwill, allowing both nations to focus on mutual growth and development beyond territorial debates, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-19 -
