Crime Domestic Worker Caught in B430m Tax Fraud at Multiple Companies
Picture courtesy of Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) A stunning arrest was made in Sri Racha District where a 54-year-old maid, known only as Somboon, was apprehended over a massive tax evasion case valued at 430 million baht. This high-profile bust was carried out by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) on Sunday. The arrest, occurring in the parking area of an apartment complex, centres around Somboon's alleged involvement with tax evasion in three separate firms. The bedrock of the arrest springs from a longstanding tax evasion by a shipping company. The firm's sneaky manoeuvres included avoiding issuance of tax invoices, paying wages in untraceable cash, and declaring drastically low sales numbers. Dubious activities detected by officials suggest an evasion of value-added tax over the past five years, racking up a bill of around 186 million baht in evaded taxes and fines. When confronted by authorities, Somboon, pointing back to 2015, stated she had been employed as a maid at one of the companies. She claims she was asked to sign paperwork by her employer without fully understanding its weight. Disregarding police summons following this, a warrant was issued for her arrest. This case underscores the complex web of tax dodging and the cunning lengths taken by companies to avoid their financial obligations. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-19 -

Accident Young Woman Dies After Car Plunges into Canal in Rayong
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A 24-year-old woman has died after losing control of her car and plunging into a canal in Rayong province during the early hours of the morning of 18 May. The crash occurred at approximately 16:00 in the Song Salueng subdistrict of Klaeng district. Police from Kram Station, along with rescue workers from the Buddhist Association for Relief and Aid, were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a car crash. Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered a black saloon car severely damaged after having veered off a bend and crashed into Song Salueng Canal. The driver, identified only as Ms A, was found inside the wreckage. Despite rescue efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial investigations revealed that the victim had been driving from Rayong city towards Klaeng district. At a sharp bend near a small bridge, she reportedly lost control of the vehicle, causing it to leave the road and plunge into the canal. Although the canal contained only a small amount of water, the impact was forceful enough to damage the vehicle and cause fatal injuries. Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage in the area and gathering witness statements to determine the precise cause of the incident. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-05-19. -

Community Wild Elephant Carcass Found in Kui Buri National Park
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. Authorities are investigating the mysterious death of a male wild elephant found in Kui Buri National Park, located in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. The animal, which still had its tusks intact, is believed to have died within the past two days. The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation reported that Mr. Anuchart Aatchahan, head of Kui Buri National Park, was alerted to the discovery on the evening of 17 May at around 21:00. The carcass was found lying at the forest’s edge near a pineapple plantation owned by a local resident in Moo 7, Ban Ruam Thai, Haad Kham Subdistrict, Kui Buri District. The dead elephant was first spotted by the park’s elephant patrol unit during a routine patrol. It was found lying on its side near the park boundary. Park officials quickly coordinated with a veterinary team to conduct a detailed necropsy on 18 May to determine the precise cause of death. Investigators from Ban Yang Chum Police Station were also called to the scene to collect forensic evidence and participate in the investigation. Mr. Anuchart confirmed that the elephant was an adult male and showed no immediate signs of poaching, as its tusks remained intact. However, the park is awaiting the results of the post-mortem examination and police inquiry to confirm whether foul play or natural causes were involved. Kui Buri National Park officials have pledged to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates to the public as more information becomes available. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges of wildlife conservation in areas where protected forests border agricultural land, often leading to conflicts between humans and elephants.
