Crime Laos Deports Thai Murder Suspect and 10 Others After Drug Party Arrest

A fugitive wanted for murder in Thailand, along with 10 other Thai nationals, has been deported from Laos following their arrest for drug-related offences in Savannakhet Province, officials confirmed. Among those returned is Jakrapong “Joe” Joomkham, who had previously been granted bail after being charged with the intentional killing of Chertsak Ngsri, a nightclub security chief in Kantharalak district, Sisaket Province, on 18 January. Joe fled across the Mekong River into Laos after the incident. Authorities from Thailand’s Surasak Montri Task Force, led by Maj Gen Sukontharat Chawapong, along with senior military and police officials, crossed the Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge from Mukdahan to Savannakhet on 23 May to receive the suspects at the border checkpoint. The extradition is part of ongoing bilateral cooperation under the Thai-Lao Security Agreement. On the Lao side, the handover was facilitated by Lt Col Kaew-Udon Sonthikumman of Savannakhet’s Internal Security Division, and Lt Col Sikun Samlanchai of the Anti-Narcotics Police, alongside immigration officers. Jakrapong, despite being on bail for a serious criminal charge, had crossed into Laos with accomplices and was found partying and using drugs, disturbing local communities by playing loud music. Lao authorities arrested the group, prosecuted them, and subsequently deported them after they served short sentences or were fined. Of the 11 Thai nationals deported, nine are men and two are women. Ten come from Sisaket Province and one from Chonburi. Two face outstanding drug warrants, while one, Jakrapong, faces charges of murder and firearms violations. Those without outstanding warrants were medically screened and had their criminal records updated before being processed through immigration. The case highlights the challenges in managing transboundary crime and the importance of international cooperation in law enforcement within the Mekong subregion.

Trump Admin Revokes Harvard’s Right to Enroll International Students
During wartime the U.S. has relied heavily on foreign intellectuals to develop the means to win those wars. I’m not sure on what basis you claim America is done with anything, let alone the things you personally are consumed with. -

Tourism Thailand Ranked Among Top 10 Safest Countries for Solo Female Travellers
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Thailand has been ranked as the eighth safest country in the world for solo female travellers, according to a recent survey featured on the New York Post and conducted by the travel website Adventurous Kate. The ranking was based on various safety metrics, including homicide rates, night-time safety and societal attitudes towards violence against women. The Top 10 safest destinations for women travelling alone in 2025 are: Spain, Austria, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Thailand, Japan, and Croatia. Thailand’s inclusion highlights its growing reputation as a welcoming and secure destination for independent female tourists. The article stated “known for its vibrant culture, friendly locals and robust travel infrastructure, Thailand offers a wide range of experiences for all types of travellers, from backpackers to those seeking luxury holidays.” The travel site Adventurous Kate, which caters specifically to solo female travellers, described Thailand as “a fantastic destination for first-time solo female travellers” and “an ideal location for a first-time trip to Asia.” The site praised the country’s efficient transport system, widespread internet access and minimal language barriers. It also noted the appeal of Thai cuisine, including popular dishes like pad Thai, green curry and tom yum soup, which many visitors may already recognise. The ranking underscores Thailand’s commitment to safety and hospitality in the tourism sector, particularly as international travel continues to rebound. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25.
