Fire Fire at Bang Pakong Plastic Recycling Plant
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A fierce blaze erupted at a plastic recycling factory in Bang Pakong on the afternoon of 12 August, triggering a large-scale firefighting operation and raising fears the flames could spread to nearby residential areas. The fire broke out at around 13:00 at P.C. Plastic, located in Moo 15, Bang Pakong subdistrict, Chachoengsao province. Police Lieutenant Noppadon Thaweechaat, deputy investigator at Bang Pakong Police Station, coordinated the emergency response, calling in fire crews from Bang Pakong Municipality, neighbouring districts and local rescue units. Witnesses reported seeing flames and dense black smoke rising from the rear section of the factory when the blaze began and started spreading rapidly. With strong winds complicating efforts, around 20 fire engines were deployed to the scene. Firefighters battled the flames for approximately three hours, successfully preventing them from reaching adjacent houses and factories. No injuries or fatalities were reported, though the fire damaged an estimated five rai of factory property. Thakornrat, 38, a local resident, said he was resting at home when his girlfriend detected a burning smell. “At first, I thought nothing of it,” he said. “But when she shouted there was a fire, I rushed outside and saw neighbours pointing to flames in the plastic storage area.” Another resident, Phairat, 37, said he was alerted by people shouting in the street. “I stepped out and saw the blaze already well underway,” he recounted. Police have taken witness statements and are awaiting forensic investigators to determine the cause of the fire. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-13 -

Report Thailand Tops World in Marital Infidelity Rates: 2024 Study
I find this a bit strange when the data reports I have seen say single parent black families are a very high percentage in the US (and other counties), and many of the kids with a mother as parent have different fathers. In the 1960 there was a wonder drug called the contraceptive pill and since then there are other treatments to stop conception without condoms. Promiscuity without precaution is very bad news for kids and those many fathers dedicated to their children. -

Crime Drug Traffickers Busted at Chumphon Bus Terminal with Meth Pills
Picture courtesy of SiamRath. Police arrested three suspects attempting to smuggle 300,000 methamphetamine pills hidden in luggage aboard a long-distance coach arriving at the Chumphon Bus Terminal. On 11 August, police received a tip-off about Mr Niruttee, 27, who has a history in drug trafficking, travelling on an air-conditioned bus suspected of carrying illegal drugs. Officers from the Chumphon Provincial Police Investigation Unit, Region 8 Special Investigation Division and other specialised units set up surveillance at the terminal in Khun Krathing subdistrict, Mueang Chumphon district. At approximately 04:00, the bus arrived and was parked at the terminal. When officers boarded to inspect, Niruttee was found sitting near a window acting suspiciously. Two other passengers seated nearby, Mr Sattha, 24 and Ms Treenet, 28, were also behaving nervously. All three were asked to disembark with their luggage for further inspection. Upon searching their bags, officers discovered a total of 300,000 methamphetamine tablets concealed inside multiple suitcases. The drugs were packed in blue resealable plastic bags marked “999,” wrapped in wax paper and foil. The tablets were divided into: • 60,000 pills in a grey suitcase • 80,000 pills in a black backpack • 80,000 pills in another black backpack • 80,000 pills in a green-black suitcase All three suspects confessed that the drugs belonged to them. They admitted travelling from Chiang Rai to collect the methamphetamine, with Niruttee leading the operation. The drugs were destined for Nakhon Si Thammarat province and they expected a payment of 50,000 baht per trip. Police attempted to extend the investigation to the final recipients but were unable to make further arrests as the network appeared to have been alerted and avoided contact. The trio have been charged with possession of Category 1 narcotics (methamphetamine) with intent to distribute. They are currently held at Chumphon Police Station pending legal proceedings. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to cracking down on drug trafficking routes connecting northern and southern Thailand. Adapted by Asean Now from Siam Rath 2025-08-13 -
