Crime Road Rage Incident in Chumphon Ends in Gunfire
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A heated road rage incident erupted into violence in central Chumphon on the afternoon of 17 July, resulting in one man being shot and the alleged gunman arrested shortly after a police manhunt. The altercation occurred around 15:00 at the Clock Tower intersection on Praminmakkha Road, just 300 metres from Chumphon District Office. The incident followed a confrontation between the drivers of a white Toyota Fortuner and a red Isuzu pickup truck operating as a local songthaew. According to police reports, the dispute began when the songthaew allegedly cut in front of the Fortuner as both vehicles approached the intersection. In response, the Fortuner’s driver, identified as 31-year-old Mr Suriya, sounded his horn. The pickup truck then braked sharply, causing the Fortuner to rear-end it. The situation escalated quickly. Mr Suriya exited his vehicle to confront the pickup truck driver, identified as 38-year-old Mr Jennarong. A physical altercation ensued, during which Mr Jennarong allegedly pulled a .22 calibre pistol and fired three shots, one of which struck Mr Suriya in the left arm. Mr Kriangsak, a 49-year-old passenger in the Fortuner, attempted to intervene, but was also threatened. Mr Suriya was taken to Chumphon Khet Udomsakdi Hospital and is reportedly in stable condition. Ms Kanyapat, who was also travelling in the Fortuner with her baby niece managed to record the pickup’s registration plate. She told police that the attacker fled the scene heading toward Pak Nam Chumphon. Police quickly mobilised a manhunt, examining CCTV footage and identifying the suspect vehicle, a yellow-plated public transport pickup, registration 10-1257 Chumphon, operating on the Chumphon Fishing Port–Pak Nam Chumphon route. The vehicle had recently been sold to Mr Jennarong. Officers traced the suspect to a house in Hat Sai Ri subdistrict, where Mr Jennarong was arrested without resistance. A search of the premises revealed the firearm used in the shooting, with three spent rounds and six live rounds in the magazine. During questioning, Mr Jennarong admitted to the shooting, claiming he acted in self-defence after allegedly being attacked by both Mr Suriya and Mr Kriangsak. He stated that he initially fired a warning shot into the ground before aiming two further shots at Mr Suriya’s legs, intending only to wound. Mr Jennarong also admitted the pistol belonged to his uncle and was not registered in his name. Police have charged Mr Jennarong with attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in a public place without permission and discharging a firearm in a public area without justifiable cause. He has been remanded in custody pending further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-18 -

Tourism Indian Tourists Defy Trends, Boost Thai Arrivals Amid Airline Woes
They also say "I love old man" "Thai man no goot" and "up to you" when you ask about her remuneration. Apparently, the TAT is handing out 'Welocme Indian' kits that include a package of straws, a trowel with which to dig cat holes and instructions on how to bury their waste after depositing it onto the beach. The kit originally contained hand sanitizer but the unopened bottles were found discarded outside the airport. -

Beating children
A few loose cannons appear anywhere, with a large majority carrying weapons here. Guns are not a part of the culture in schools in the US. Again, it's better to actually live there before you comment of a country, as most of what you hear about is biased, BS and opinions rather than the whole truth. Yes, America does have a lot of problems regarding gun use, but most of it is gangs and suicides. Every country has their share of crimes, with some , especially smaller European ones and some Pacific islands, with smaller populations, having less. Many South American countries, along with African, New Guinea, Yemen and Afghanistan are higher in crime rate than the US.Thailand is slowly closing the gap also. -
