Crime Chinese Man Shot by Compatriot Near Pattaya, Gunman in Custody
UPDATE Chonburi Police Chief Orders Crackdown After Chinese Gang Shooting Picture courtesy of SiamChon. The commander of Chonburi Provincial Police has vowed to take tough action after a violent shooting between Chinese nationals in a residence led to the discovery of a fully-fledged drug trafficking and weapons operation. Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat Jindakhwansanong, Chonburi’s top police officer, led a press briefing on 1 June, at Huay Yai Police Station to update on the case involving a Chinese criminal gang operating out of a home in Soi Khao Makok 6/4, Huay Yai sub-district, Bang Lamung district. The incident occurred when Mr Qiyang Song, 26, was shot in the right leg by Mr Ju Bin, 32, a fellow Chinese national. The victim sustained serious injuries and is being treated at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Attempts were made by other gang members to conceal the crime by dragging the injured man back into the house before fleeing the scene. However, Huay Yai police quickly tracked down the suspects, intercepting their white sedan just over three kilometres from the crime scene. Mr Ju Bin and two other Chinese nationals, Mr Wang Zhijie, 26, and Ms Zhang Junhan, 24, were arrested. All three were found to be overstaying their visas and attempted to dispose of the firearm by dumping it in a nearby pond. A follow-up search of the residence uncovered a cache of illegal drugs and firearms: • 3.22 grams of crystal methamphetamine (ice) • An unregistered handgun • 9mm and .38 calibre ammunition • Vape manufacturing equipment Police also searched three vehicles linked to the suspects. In a blue Mercedes-Benz, officers found: • 225.84 grams of crystal methamphetamine • 711 methamphetamine pills (yaba) • 165.83 grams of ketamine • A large quantity of vaping paraphernalia In the white getaway sedan, two designer bags were discovered containing Thai baht, Chinese yuan and US dollars totalling over 108,000 baht. Investigators expanded the operation, raiding a room in Soi Thepprasit, Pattaya. Two additional firearms, a pistol and a pump-action shotgun, along with more drugs were seized. Three more Chinese nationals were arrested, all of whom were overstaying their visas and tested positive for drug use. Police also retrieved a Honda CBR motorbike, previously used as a patrol vehicle, now traced to the same gang’s hideout. Although the vehicle had been officially decommissioned and sold in a government auction for 8,000 baht, officers are now investigating how it ended up in the possession of the Chinese gang. Preliminary investigations suggest the gang was involved in distributing narcotics exclusively to Chinese nationals within Pattaya’s nightlife venues. Despite initial claims from the suspects that the dispute stemmed from a 500,000-baht debt, police believe the real motive was internal conflict over criminal profits. All seven Chinese nationals involved, three initial suspects, the casualty and three others linked through further searches, face multiple charges, including: • Overstaying their visas • Illegal possession of firearms and ammunition • Possession of narcotics with intent to distribute • Illegal drug use Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat praised the swift work of Huay Yai officers and other cooperating agencies for acting within 24 hours to uncover the criminal network. He confirmed that this group had already been under surveillance and the shooting merely accelerated the police operation. In a final statement, the Chonburi police chief revealed plans to launch an extensive sweep targeting 1,500 Chinese nationals suspected of overstaying their visas and engaging in criminal activity across the region. “This is just the beginning,” said Pol Maj Gen Thawatchakiat. “We will track every financial trail, every firearm, every gram of narcotics and anyone, Thai or foreign, found to be connected will face the full force of the law.” Adapted by Asean Now from SiamChon 2025-06-02. -

Accident Nonthaburi: Wife Killed After Motorbike Crash in Heavy Rain, Husband Injured
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 59-year-old woman has died and her husband injured after their motorcycle skidded and crashed in floodwater, before a 10-wheel lorry ran over the woman on Ratchaphruek Road in Nonthaburi province. At around 18:15 on 31 May, officers from Chaiyaphruek Police Station and rescue workers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were called to the scene of a serious road collision opposite Wat Yai Sawang Arom in Om Kret subdistrict, Pak Kret district. Emergency services arrived to find a Yamaha Aerox motorbike lying on the outbound lanes of Ratchaphruek Road. The female passenger, identified as Mrs Jarin Nongphon, 59, had been thrown from the bike and run over by an Isuzu 10-wheel lorry (registration from Nonthaburi). Despite the efforts of medics from Phra Nang Klao Hospital, who performed CPR for over 30 minutes, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, Mr Niphon Nongphon, 61, who was driving the motorcycle, sustained injuries and was transported to Phra Nang Klao Hospital for treatment. Their daughter later arrived at the scene and confirmed that both parents were working as security officers for the War Veterans Organisation, stationed at the Nonthaburi Provincial Sports Complex. They had just finished work and were returning home to the Bang Khu Wat area in Pathum Thani. Mr Niphon recounted the incident, explaining that heavy rain had caused flooding in the left lane of the road, obscuring visibility. While navigating through the floodwaters, he failed to see the raised edge of the road, causing the bike’s wheel to climb the curb and topple to the right, directly into the path of the oncoming lorry. His wife was thrown into the lorry’s undercarriage and fatally struck. The lorry driver, Mr Apisit Deecharoen, 27, told police he was driving slowly through the rain when the motorbike suddenly slipped and fell in front of his vehicle. He denied making any contact prior to the incident and claimed the crash happened in an instant. Police confirmed they have recorded statements from the lorry driver and documented the scene. CCTV footage from nearby cameras will be reviewed to determine the exact circumstances. Mrs Jarin’s body has been taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine. An investigation is ongoing.

"We all are going to die!"
It doesn't fit the narrative Trump haters live and breathe for....they can't answer any question unless it starts with "Oh yeah, but Trump blah, blah, blah". Amazing the amount of rent free space President Trump lives in their heads. And some like to ask questions like: Of those paid Democratic shills that WERE in the meeting, what color socks were they wearing? -
