Community Woman Found Dead in Nonthaburi Rented Room After Suspected Suicide
Picture courtesy of Naewna A 45-year-old woman was found dead by apparent suicide in a rented room in Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi, in the early hours of 27 July, following an argument with her younger boyfriend. Police and forensic investigators were called to the scene after receiving a report of a woman found hanging inside a room on the second floor of a two-storey rental building in the Saothonghin area. The deceased, identified as Ms. Pratchchukarn, was discovered in a seated position, wearing a black T-shirt and black skirt, with a nylon rope tied to the balcony railing at the rear of the room. No signs of struggle were found. The report was confirmed by Pol. Lt. Danakorn Teehlong, an investigator with Bang Yai Police Station. Rescue volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation and medical staff from the Institute of Forensic Medicine were dispatched to examine the scene. Mr. Yothin, 38, the deceased’s boyfriend and a street food vendor, told police that the pair had been drinking at a local restaurant earlier in the evening and got into an argument. “She always got jealous when I drank. We’ve been seeing each other since 2020. Even though she had a family, she would come stay with me every weekend and help clean my room,” he said. According to Mr. Yothin, the deceased was very controlling in the relationship. “She had all my passwords, checked my Facebook and TikTok, even monitored my livestreams. Sometimes she’d message me in the middle of the night after seeing me online,” he said. He added that upon returning home later that night, he found the door to the room unlocked and initially saw her sitting on the balcony. “I didn’t think anything of it at first. But after a few moments, something felt off. When I looked again, I realised she had taken her own life.” Mr. Yothin said he had not noticed any warning signs in the days leading up to the incident. Police are continuing their investigation and have questioned Mr. Yothin as part of standard procedure. While early indications suggest jealousy or emotional distress may have been a factor, authorities have not ruled out other possibilities and plan to interview additional individuals connected to the deceased. The body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for a post-mortem examination. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-07-28 -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Main Opposition Party Shuts Down Website at Government’s Request
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Thailand’s main opposition group, the People’s Party, has agreed to shut down its website covering developments in the Thai-Cambodian border conflict following a request from the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters. The move comes amid government concerns over the potential misuse of publicly available information during escalating clashes near the border. In a statement released on 27 July, People’s Party spokesperson Parit Wacharasindhu confirmed the decision but firmly denied that the party’s website had ever published sensitive or compromising information. He insisted that the platform had merely aggregated publicly available updates from official government sources in an effort to keep citizens informed. “The People’s Party website has never disseminated any content that would endanger Thai citizens or be exploitable by Cambodian forces,” said Parit. “We have not published coordinates of evacuation centres, details of troop movements, or the impact zones of shelling.” The party stressed that all information on the website originated from state agencies, such as the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, the Royal Thai Army, the Thai Red Cross Society, and announcements by provincial governors. Medical facility locations were also drawn from public platforms such as Google Maps. According to the statement, the website aimed to centralise fragmented official announcements to make critical information, such as evacuation orders, danger zones and blood donation appeals, more easily accessible to the public. Over the past three days, the site had received over three million visits. “Out of respect for the government’s responsibilities in safeguarding lives, we have cooperated and taken the website offline,” said the People’s Party. However, the opposition also used the opportunity to call on the government to urgently improve crisis communication and local coordination. Among the key proposals put forward by the party were: • The creation of a centralised, rapid-response communication mechanism to ensure consistent, accurate updates for both Thai citizens and the international community. This, they said, would prevent confusion and counteract information operations allegedly being conducted by Cambodian authorities. • The immediate establishment of coordination centres in all affected provinces, to manage incoming aid, medical teams and supplies, and to provide accurate, consistent communication with local residents. • A renewed diplomatic push for a ceasefire, while simultaneously documenting and communicating evidence of Cambodian attacks, to reinforce Thailand’s position as acting in self-defence and seeking a peaceful resolution to the dispute. The People’s Party closed its statement by reaffirming its commitment to national unity during the crisis and expressing hope that the government will rise to the challenge of protecting the public, both on the battlefield and in the information space.

Fire Villagers in Tears as Blaze Destroys Entire School Building in Si Sa Ket
Picture courtesy of SiamNews. Villagers were left in tears on the night of 26 July, as a fire tore through Ban Bon Witthaya School in Bueng Bon subdistrict, Yang Chum Noi district, completely destroying the two-storey building. The blaze broke out at around 20:20, Mr. Wittaya Chaiyadechkamchorn, district chief of Yang Chum Noi, received an emergency call reporting the incident and immediately coordinated a response. Firefighting units from the Yang Chum Noi Municipality, led by Mayor Nuanjai Busabong and Deputy Mayor Nat Thongsaeng, were dispatched to the scene. They were joined by fire trucks from Bueng Bon, Lin Fa, and Khon Kam subdistrict administrations, a total of six vehicles. Upon arrival, firefighters found the school building, constructed of both concrete and timber, engulfed in flames. Despite efforts to contain the blaze, the structure was reduced to ruins. Initial assessments suggest the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. Locals reported that the premises were unoccupied at the time and that the fire appeared to erupt suddenly and spread rapidly. However, forensic investigators have been called in to determine the exact cause. The loss of the school has left the local community devastated. “This school was the heart of our village,” one tearful resident said. “Watching it burn was like losing a part of our family.” No injuries were reported, and officials have yet to estimate the total value of the damage. The investigation is ongoing. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-07-28 -
