Crime Malaysian Tourists Cause Uproar in Hat Yai with Noisy Midnight Street Racing
UPDATE Malaysian Street Racers Apologise After Late-Night Car Stunt in Hat Yai Picture courtesy of Matichon. A group of young Malaysian tourists has issued a formal apology after being caught racing their vehicles in a noisy late-night stunt through the streets of Hat Yai. The group, consisting of 10 men and women aged between 21 and 25, were driving six modified saloon cars, which drew the ire of local residents due to the loud engine noise and dangerous driving behaviour. According to police reports, residents of Hat Yai were disturbed during the night by the sound of multiple cars revving their engines and driving in convoy, prompting complaints to local authorities. CCTV footage confirmed the presence of six Malaysian vehicles driving in a manner that obstructed traffic and disturbed the peace. Police from the Kho Hong Police Station, led by Pol. Col. Apichart Wannako, alongside the Tourist Police and local traffic officers, launched an investigation into the incident. The team was able to locate and apprehend all six vehicles and their drivers based on the CCTV evidence. Interpreters were brought in to facilitate communication with the tourists. The group was taken in for questioning and subjected to a session to raise awareness about Thai traffic laws. They were also fined for multiple offences under the Road Traffic Act, including: 1. Operating vehicles with unauthorised modifications 2. Incomplete or non-compliant vehicle equipment 3. Obstructing traffic flow 4. Reckless driving 5. Altering the condition of vehicles illegally After the legal process was completed, the tourists offered a public apology, bowing in a wai gesture. A spokesperson for the group expressed remorse, stating, “We sincerely apologise to the people of Hat Yai for the noise and disruption we caused. It won’t happen again. We are truly sorry.” Pol. Lt. Col. Thanawat Baimadpanjor, Deputy Superintendent of Kho Hong Police Station, emphasised that all foreign tourists must strictly follow the laws, particularly traffic regulations, during their stay in the Kingdom. He urged tour guides and travel operators bringing in visitors from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore to ensure their clients understand and comply with local rules. Following the conclusion of their three-day visit to Thailand, the group returned to Malaysia. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-18. -

Why Elon Musk Is Furious and Publicly Raging at His Own AI Chatbot, Grok
What's AN? I think it was a real person doing that, not AN, whatever that is. Probably one of the moderators. And you can believe whatever you want about my credibility, but if you doubt what I'm saying, go look it up yourself, if your brain is capable of independent comprehension. -

Agent to do all the paper work selling a motorbike
Hey everyone! 👋 So, I'm a farang looking to sell my motorbike to another farang here in Pattaya/Sattahip area . Honestly, the whole transfer process sounds like a bit of a hassle, and I'm feeling more than a tad lazy to handle all the paperwork myself. 😉 Does anyone know of a reliable agent or service in the Pattaya area that I could pay to take care of all the legwork involved in the motorbike sale and transfer? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 -
