Crime Krabi Police Chief & District Officer Transferred Following Palm Plantation Gambling Raid
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a decisive move to uphold law enforcement integrity, Lieutenant General Surapong Thanomjit, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 8, has ordered on 23 May, the transfer of Krabi Provincial Police Chief, Police Major General Chaiyakiat Wiriyasathitkul, and Plai Phraya Police Station Superintendent, Police Colonel Narong Lakwimon. The action follows a significant raid on an illegal gambling operation concealed within a palm oil plantation in Plai Phraya district. On 21 May, a coordinated operation led by the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) and local defence volunteers dismantled a clandestine gambling den in Khao To subdistrict. The raid resulted in the arrest of 71 individuals and the seizure of various gambling paraphernalia. Preliminary investigations suggest the establishment had a monthly cash flow exceeding 12 million baht. Notably, the operation was reportedly linked to individuals claiming affiliations with national-level political figures, facilitating its operations and clientele recruitment. In response to the incident, DOPA Director-General Chaiwat Chuntirapong signed an order transferring Plai Phraya District Chief, Ms. Nanthicha Koetkaew, to an administrative role at the College of Local Administration, effective immediately. The swift administrative reshuffling underscores the Thai government’s commitment to combating illegal gambling activities and ensuring accountability among public officials. Further investigations are underway to identify and prosecute all individuals involved in the illicit operation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-24. -

Crime Schoolboy Fatally Stabbed in Canteen After Grudge Dating Back to Primary School
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 12-year-old schoolboy has died after being stabbed multiple times by a classmate during a lunchtime altercation at a secondary school in Phibun Mangsahan district, Ubon Ratchathani. The shocking incident took place on 22 May and is believed to have stemmed from a long-standing grudge dating back to the boys’ primary school days. Police from Phibun Mangsahan Police Station were alerted at 12:40, to a violent altercation at the school’s canteen in Ang Sila subdistrict. Emergency services rushed to the scene, where they found a Mathayom pupil critically injured after being stabbed with a knife by a fellow Mathayom student. The victim was quickly transported to hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards. The suspect was taken into custody at the scene along with the 10-inch blade used in the attack. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and officials from multiple agencies, including juvenile justice professionals, have been called in to assist with legal proceedings. According to relatives of the deceased, the attack was the culmination of an unresolved conflict between the two students, dating back to when they were in primary school. The two had allegedly exchanged insults in the past, but there had been no physical altercations until now. Since the beginning of the school term, the accused was reportedly seen staring down the victim and making threatening gestures. Despite this, the victim, described as well-mannered and not prone to conflict, ignored the provocations. Witnesses said that during the school lunch break, while the victim was speaking with friends in the canteen, the suspect pulled the knife from under his shirt and stabbed the boy 5–6 times in the torso, arms and neck. Local vendors intervened and tried to perform CPR before emergency responders arrived. The boy was declared dead at Sappasitthiprasong Hospital. His family, grieving at the mortuary, has called for legal reform, urging stricter penalties for serious crimes committed by juveniles. “If the law remains lenient, children who kill will grow up thinking they can do as they please. It becomes a habit,” said the boy’s aunt, Ms Malai. “Young offenders who commit such crimes should face jail just like adults.” His body has been taken to his home village in Don Na Yia, Ban Khaem subdistrict, where funeral rites will be held after the arrival of his father, who is returning from Taiwan. In response to the incident, education officials have pledged to strengthen school safety measures and provide psychological support to affected students and families. The accused has been remanded to the Juvenile Observation and Protection Centre in Ubon Ratchathani while investigations continue. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-24. -
