Anyone working in manufacturing consulting?
I’m a technical designer & project manager with a lot of experience doing design for manufacture in the states. Now that I’m in Bangkok I’ve been wondering what opportunities there might be for freelance / consulting work as a manufacturing liaison, i.e. basically helping western companies trying to produce products in SE Asia. Wondering if anyone here is doing this sort of work, or anything at all related in the the manufacutring space, and wouldn’t mind chatting. Or maybe you just have some leads on companies to check out or recruiters to link up with. I’m in BKK based but interested in anything SE Asia oriented. -

Crime Fugitive Hides in Water Service Duct to Evade Police, Rescue Team Called In
Picture courtesy of Matichon A dramatic arrest unfolded on 10 May, after a man wanted on theft charges attempted to evade police by climbing through a ceiling space and then hiding inside a water service duct. The suspect was eventually removed with assistance from a local rescue team and taken into custody. Police Lieutenant Colonel Siraphop Bualuang, Deputy Superintendent of Investigation at Pak Khlong Rangsit Police Station, together with Police Captain Itthiphon Phuttharaksa and a team of investigators, led the operation to apprehend Mr. Atthawit, who was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court (No. J.637/2567 dated 8 May 2025). He is accused of theft from an employer. Officers had traced the suspect to a flat in Building 8 of the Pla Thong housing project in Bang Phun Subdistrict, Mueang District, Pathum Thani Province. When police arrived, Mr. Atthawit fled through the ceiling space and into an adjacent room, eventually wedging himself inside a narrow veryical utility shaft used for water piping. Police were initially unable to retrieve him and had to call in a rescue team to assist in the extraction. It took over 30 minutes of careful manoeuvring before Mr. Atthawit was finally removed from the tight space and brought down safely. He was then taken in a dishevelled state to Pak Khlong Rangsit Police Station for interrogation and legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-11. -

Transport AOT Unveils Ambitious New Phase for Suvarnabhumi Airport: Fourth Runway & South Terminal
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT) has announced a major revision of its Suvarnabhumi Airport development masterplan, aiming to significantly increase passenger capacity and strengthen Thailand’s status as a regional aviation hub. Ms. Paweena Jariyathitipong, Acting President and Executive Vice President for Engineering and Construction, revealed on Wednesday that AOT is in the process of revising the Suvarnabhumi development blueprint to accommodate up to 150 million passengers annually by 2031, more than double its current capacity of 65 million. The revised masterplan is expected to be completed by August or September 2025 and will then be submitted to the Cabinet for approval. A key feature of the plan includes the construction of an 81,000-square-metre East Terminal, designed to handle an additional 15 million passengers annually. This project, requiring an investment of 13.52 billion baht, is slated for Cabinet review before moving forward to the bidding and construction stages. The expansion doesn’t stop there. Ms. Paweena detailed plans for a massive South Terminal covering 1.597 million square metres with 150 aircraft bays. In tandem, a fourth runway, Runway 4, will be constructed, boosting flight handling capacity to 120 flights per hour and accommodating 70 million passengers. This phase of the project now has an estimated cost of 170 billion baht, an increase from the previously projected 150 billion. The current phase of Suvarnabhumi (termed the “Existing Phase”) allows for 65 million passengers, 94 flights per hour, and 79 gates over a 516,000-square-metre area. The new projects aim to vastly expand these capabilities. Ms. Paweena emphasised that while the investments are significant, they will not negatively impact AOT’s financial stability. Funding sources will include internal revenue and low-interest loans, including those from international lenders. More concrete financial details are expected to be finalised by September or October 2025. In addition, AOT is seeking investors to lease and develop two prime land plots surrounding the airport. The first, a 548-rai plot, is strategically located near the airport’s public transport hub and major roads such as Suvarnabhumi Roads 2 and 4, Lat Krabang Road, and Bangna-Trad Road. The second, a 462-rai plot accessible via Lat Krabang-Wat Sriwareenoi Road, is considered ideal for an entertainment complex. These developments represent a bold step forward in Thailand’s aviation infrastructure, positioning Suvarnabhumi Airport as a global gateway with world-class facilities and connectivity.

Accident Death of 23-Year-Old Man After Fall from Samut Prakan Apartment
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident unfolded in Samut Prakan on the morning of 10 May, when a 23-year-old man was found dead after falling from a five-storey apartment building. The man’s body was discovered in the car park of the building, located in the Thaiban Mai subdistrict of Mueang District. According to police from the Mueang Samut Prakan Police Station, who received the emergency call at approximately 07:30, the young man fell from the fourth floor of the apartment where he had been living alone for just two weeks. The body was found lying on the road beside a damaged four-door pickup truck. Investigators believe the victim’s body struck the roof of the vehicle before hitting the ground, resulting in multiple fractures and a severe head wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police, along with forensic officers and a local rescue foundation, examined the man’s room on the fourth floor. Inside, they found a mattress, some personal belongings, and at the rear balcony, cannabis products, kratom plants, and drug paraphernalia. There were no signs of a struggle or forced entry. Neighbours reported hearing an unusual loud cry coming from above just before the man’s body was found on the ground. No witnesses saw the fall itself, but the sound drew attention to the tragic aftermath. The body has been sent to the Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute in Ramathibodi Hospital for a full autopsy. Authorities are in the process of contacting the man’s relatives to arrange religious rites. Police are continuing their investigation and have not yet ruled out any possibility regarding the circumstances of the fall. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-11.
