Village Chief Discovers Five Grenades During Road Construction in Phayao
A shocking discovery of five hand grenades halted a road construction project in Huai Pum Village, Chiang Kham District, on November 22. The explosives, believed to date back to the Communist insurgency era, were safely removed and destroyed by authorities. Police Captain Worakorn Onkhoksung, Commander of Border Patrol Police Company 326, was alerted to the incident by the village chief of Huai Pum, Moo 14, Rom Yen Subdistrict. The grenades were found along the roadside near a mango orchard on the route leading to the remote mountain village. Upon arrival, an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team from Border Patrol Police Division 32 secured the site. The grenades, identified as old but fully functional Chinese-made fragmentation hand grenades, were discovered in a metal box near the orchard. Officers placed protective rubber tires over the devices and established a 200-metre safety perimeter. Preliminary inspections confirmed that the grenades remained intact and operational, with a blast radius of approximately 20 metres. Authorities suspect the explosives were remnants of the Communist insurgency, as the village is located in a mountainous area near the border between Thailand and Laos, historically a conflict zone. The village chief explained that the grenades were uncovered during excavation work for the road construction project. “While supervising the roadwork near the mango orchard, I noticed objects resembling old grenades in the soil. I immediately reported it to the local Border Patrol Police base,” he said. The EOD team safely retrieved the grenades, recorded the incident, and later conducted a controlled detonation to neutralise the threat. Authorities have reiterated the importance of vigilance in areas near former conflict zones, urging locals to report any suspicious objects to ensure public safety.

5,000 Litres of Smuggled Fuel Seized in Satun Waters
Authorities have seized 5,000 litres of untaxed fuel and apprehended two suspects in a joint operation targeting fuel smuggling in the coastal waters of Satun Province. On November 22, officers from the Royal Thai Navy’s Third Naval Area Command, led by Captain Santi Buanium, Deputy Director of the Maritime Enforcement Command Center for Satun, and Captain Rattapon Kaekrachai, head of the Satun Provincial Naval Task Force, launched the operation following intelligence reports. The reports indicated illegal fuel transfers along the coastline near Ban Nern Soong in Tambon Tanyong Po, Muang District. During the operation, authorities discovered a local fishing boat and a silver Toyota pickup truck parked near a makeshift pier. The boat was actively transferring untaxed diesel fuel into containers loaded onto the truck. Upon inspection, officials found 4,000 litres of diesel stored on the boat, a blue-and-red vessel weighing 12 gross tons, and an additional 1,000 litres in barrels in the truck’s cargo area. The boat’s operator, identified as Mr. Bawra 54, a resident of Tambon Tammalang, and the truck driver, Mr. Fittree 18, a resident of Tambon Yan Sue, were taken into custody. Neither suspect could produce tax payment documents for the fuel. Both men were charged under Section 203 of the Excise Tax Act B.E. 2560 for possessing goods that had not been taxed. The suspects agreed to pay fines totaling 161,000 baht, with Mr. Bawra fined 128,800 baht and Mr. Fittree fined 32,200 baht. The confiscated fuel was handed over to the Satun Provincial Excise Office for further examination. The arrests were recorded at Muang Satun Police Station as part of the Royal Thai Navy’s ongoing crackdown on illegal maritime smuggling, in line with national directives to combat tax evasion and other unlawful activities in Thailand’s coastal regions.

Electric Tricycle Fire Causes Injury and Property Damage in Mae Hong Son
Mae Hong Son City Police, under the direction of Pol. Col. Pasawin Kaewtai, reported a fire incident on November 23, at approximately 02:55. Pol. Lt. Boonrub Yubon, the investigating officer, was alerted by the Sam Mok Radio Centre about an electric tricycle catching fire. The incident occurred at house number 24/1 on Phadung Muay To Road in Chong Kham Subdistrict, Mueang District, Mae Hong Son Province. Upon arrival at the scene, officers found an almost completely burned electric tricycle parked in front of the house. The fire also damaged the eaves of the house. The homeowner, identified as 74-year-old Mrs. Thepin Pongwadi, sustained burn injuries while attempting to turn off the electrical breaker and passing by the burning vehicle. She was taken to Srisangwal Hospital for treatment. Authorities documented the scene and captured photographic evidence. According to an investigation involving eyewitness accounts and Mrs. Thepin’s statement, the fire likely originated from the electric tricycle. On November 22, at approximately 18:00, Mrs. Thepin had been charging the tricycle parked in front of her house. Around 02:20, a neighbour’s dog barked unusually loudly, prompting Mrs. Thepin and the neighbor to check outside. They discovered the electric tricycle ablaze, with the flames spreading to the eaves of the house. Neighbours worked together to extinguish the fire, using fire extinguishers and a hose pipe. While trying to switch off the electrical breaker, Mrs. Thepin sustained injuries as she passed by the burning tricycle. Fortunately, neighbours managed to put out the fire before it spread further. The exact cost of the damages is still being assessed. Authorities will collaborate with forensic specialists in Mae Hong Son to investigate the cause of the fire further. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with charging electric vehicles and the importance of proper safety measures. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -
