Crime British Fugitives Arrested for Robbery & Fraud, Linked to Nominee Businesses on Koh Samui
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Immigration and crime suppression authorities have arrested two British nationals wanted in the UK for serious criminal offences, including robbery and fraud. The suspects had fled to Thailand and were living on the resort island of Koh Samui, where they were allegedly operating multiple businesses under nominee arrangements. The first suspect, Mr Kieren Daniel Farrer Thornton, aged 38, was apprehended by a joint task force led by Pol Maj Gen Songprod Sirisukha, Commander of Immigration Division 6. Thornton was arrested on 24 May near a pier in Moo 4, Bo Phut subdistrict, Koh Samui, following a warrant issued by Thailand’s Criminal Court (Warrant No. 524/2568, dated 19 May 2025). He is wanted in the UK for robbery and is considered a fugitive under international law. He has since been handed over to the Office of the Attorney General’s International Affairs Department for extradition proceedings. The second arrest involved Mr Ashton Kevin Saunders, also known by the alias “Ben Ash,” aged 37. Saunders had entered Thailand on a tourist visa and presented himself as a high-profile businessman operating in the popular tourist area of Chaweng Beach. Investigations by immigration and the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) revealed that Saunders had previously been convicted of fraud by a UK court and had fled the country to avoid imprisonment. Following his arrest, Thai authorities revoked his permission to remain in the Kingdom, citing his criminal history and status as a wanted individual. Saunders will now be deported back to the United Kingdom to serve his sentence. Authorities also uncovered that Saunders and his family had allegedly established a network of seven companies on Koh Samui using nominees, with Thai nationals registered as shareholders on behalf of foreign owners, a practice considered illegal under Thai law. A search warrant issued by the Koh Samui Provincial Court enabled officers to inspect all seven companies linked to Saunders. If sufficient evidence of wrongdoing is found, the businesses involved will face legal action for violating company and immigration laws. Thai officials have vowed to prosecute all offences to the fullest extent of the law and to continue cooperating with international agencies to prevent fugitives from using Thailand as a safe haven Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25. -

Video Thai Paratrooper's Life-Saving Move Amid Mid-Air Chute Failure
I will be damned if I give you 50! I used to be an assistant drill instructor in the reserves for two years. 😁 Unless you are a lady with a good looking butt, I don't want to see it. Got enough of that in basic, 11 months advanced training, 20 months in VN, and 7 months in Thailand. Oh, the horror, the horror! 😖 What is P&T? Is that related to jumping out of aircraft? -

Crime Pattaya Nightclub Inspections Boost Tourist Confidence
Perhaps that was the idea... they probably found no infractions, but did help out the competition! Been in the middle of a few of those.
