Retired Civil Servant Faces Serious Charges After Fatal School Crash
UPDATE Picture from responders The devastating road crash in front of Don Khwang School on Phet Matukala Road in Hua Thale Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nakhon Ratchasima, has claimed two lives and injured several others. Among the fatalities was Police Lieutenant Vimut Tansupho, 57, a traffic officer from Nakhon Ratchasima City Police Station, who was performing his duties at the time of the incident. The driver responsible for the crash has been identified as Somsak Asaraijao, 75, a retired civil servant and former provincial agricultural officer in Nong Khai. A breathalyser test revealed that his blood alcohol level was 197 milligrams per cent, well over the legal limit. On December 24, Pol Maj Gen Narongrit Dansuwan, Commander of the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Police, announced that the driver will face severe legal consequences. Somsak has been charged with drink driving causing death and serious injury, offences that carry severe penalties. The penalty for drink driving resulting in death includes 3 to 10 years’ imprisonment, fines ranging from 60,000 to 200,000 baht, and permanent revocation of the driving licence. Meanwhile, drink driving causing serious injury carries a sentence of 2 to 6 years in prison, fines between 40,000 and 120,000 baht, and a minimum one-year suspension or permanent revocation of the driving licence. Somsak has been discharged from the hospital and is now in police custody at Nakhon Ratchasima City Police Station. His relatives have sought to post bail, but authorities have denied the request. Investigations are ongoing, and police plan to seek court approval to detain him further. Police Lt Vimut, who tragically died while on duty, is being honoured by the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Police. His family will receive full support, including a promotion of three salary steps and a posthumous rank elevation from Police Lieutenant to Police Lieutenant Colonel. Preliminary investigations revealed that prior to the accident, Somsak had been drinking with friends at a restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima City. He was driving home to Chaloem Phra Kiat District at high speed when the crash occurred. He claims to have no recollection of the events leading to the crash. The case has caused widespread outrage, with authorities vowing to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

Thai Customs Seize E-Cigarettes, Nitrous Oxide, & Coin Changers Worth Over 30 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Thai Customs The Thai Customs Department announced the seizure of illicit goods, including e-cigarettes, nitrous oxide, and automatic coin changers, with an estimated value exceeding 30 million baht. The announcement was made during a press conference held at the Customs Department headquarters in Klong Toey, led by Mr Panthong Loykulnanta, Advisor on Tax Development and Collection, and Ms Nanththita Sirikup, Advisor on Customs Control Development. Mr Panthong stated that the operation was part of the government’s directive to combat illegal imports of e-cigarettes and related products. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, alongside Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Phichai Chunhavachira and Deputy Finance Minister Chulaphan Amornwiwat, prioritised strict enforcement against these illicit activities. Customs Director-General Teerachai Attanawanich had instructed officials to intensify surveillance, apprehend violators, and collaborate with other agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Interior, Consumer Protection Board, and the Royal Thai Police, to investigate smuggling operations. The confiscated items were discovered during inspections on 17 and 19 December at the Bangkok Port Customs Office. Two shipping containers from China contained undeclared goods, including: 1. Disposable E-Cigarettes: 112,600 units valued at 28.15 million baht. These items are prohibited under the 2014 Ministry of Commerce directive, which bans the importation of hookahs and e-cigarettes. 2. Nitrous Oxide Gas (Laughing Gas): 770 canisters, each weighing 5 kilograms, valued at 1.925 million baht. Importing nitrous oxide requires a permit from the Food and Drug Administration under the 1967 Drug Act. 3. Automatic Coin Changers: 18 machines valued at 360,000 baht. The importation of these goods constitutes a violation of the 2017 Customs Act (Sections 202, 243, 244, and 252), the 1967 Drug Act, and the 1979 Export and Import Act. Violators face prosecution for providing false or incomplete information to evade taxes and restrictions. Mr Panthong further highlighted the Customs Department’s achievements in the 2024 fiscal year (1 October 2023 – 23 December 2023), during which 103 cases of e-cigarette smuggling were recorded, involving 416,560 items valued at 39.07 million baht. The Customs Department urges importers and exporters to adhere strictly to relevant laws and regulations, reiterating its commitment to rigorous enforcement to protect society and the nation’s interests. -- 2024-12-25 -
