Crime Fatal Gang Attack Erupts After Temple Fair in Phayao
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A violent clash between youths from different districts ended in tragedy in the early hours of 11 June, when a 20-year-old man was brutally attacked and later died from his injuries on a roadside in Mae Chai district, Phayao province. The incident occurred at approximately 02:05 near a grocery shop on the Nakhon Sawan–Chiang Rai road, 200 metres past the Sri Boonruang traffic lights in Moo 7, Sri Toi subdistrict. Pol. Lt. Thongchai Suwanmanee, an investigator from Mae Chai Police Station, responded to the report along with Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Weera Mangmoon, patrol officers, detectives, and emergency responders from the Sri Toi Municipal Rescue Team. At the scene, officers found Mr. Sarawut Chueamuangphan 20, of Mae Yen subdistrict in Phan district, Chiang Rai province, lying next to a yellow Honda motorcycle with no licence plate. He had sustained deep wounds to the head, right arm and torso. Despite emergency first aid and rapid transfer to Mae Chai Hospital, Mr. Sarawut was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Initial investigations revealed that tensions began earlier that evening at a local temple fair in Sri Toi. Witnesses said the victim had been flirting with a girl during a traditional “Ramwong” dance, which reportedly provoked resentment from a group of local youths. After the fair ended, Mr. Sarawut left on his motorbike, intending to meet the girl again and stopped outside the shop where the attack later occurred. As he waited, a group of local teenagers from Sri Toi approached on motorcycles. Armed with wooden sticks and a metre-long sharpened rod, they ambushed Mr. Sarawut, beating and hacking him before fleeing the scene. Locals who heard the commotion rushed to help and called for emergency services. Police investigators later detained six suspects, all under the age of 18, believed to be involved in the attack. During questioning, they admitted to harbouring resentment towards Mr. Sarawut following the interaction with the girl at the fair. Surveillance footage and witness testimony supported the account that the assault was premeditated and targeted. According to Mr. “Uncle Dam”, a local shop owner near the scene, “I heard shouting and ran out to see what was happening. It was chaos. The boy was lying there, not moving. It was shocking to see something like this happen just after a joyful temple event.” Authorities are continuing to investigate and have confirmed that the suspects will face serious charges despite being juveniles. The case has sparked renewed concern over inter-district youth violence in northern provinces, where rivalry between young people from neighbouring towns has occasionally flared into deadly confrontations. Police have urged parents, communities and local leaders to work together to prevent further escalation and to ensure public safety at festivals and public gatherings.

Economics Proposal to Spend 1.34 Trillion Baht on New ‘Second Bangkok’ in Huai Yai, Chonburi
UPDATE Land Prices Surge in Huai Yai Amid Launch of “EEC New City” Mega Project Pictures courtesy of Kaoded. Land prices in the Huai Yai–Pattaya corridor are skyrocketing following the full-scale launch of Thailand’s ambitious “EEC New City” project. Spearheaded by the Eastern Economic Corridor Policy Committee (EECO), the 14,619-rai development in Huai Yai subdistrict, Chonburi, is attracting a frenzy of real estate activity. With an investment value exceeding 1.34 trillion baht, the government aims to create a “second Bangkok”, a hub for business, innovation and urban expansion. The state has already begun the process of land expropriation and compensation, while signing a strategic cooperation agreement with the Sports Authority of Thailand to develop a new sports complex in the area. In parallel, the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) is planning a large-scale BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) industrial estate, with public utility bids expected to commence in 2026. Mr Wasan Khongchan, Vice President of the Real Estate Sales and Marketing Association, reported intense speculation and transactions around the project site. A notable deal involved over 400 rai opposite the former ASEAN University, which was auctioned and sold back in 2023. Land prices have surged dramatically across the region: • Road 331 corridor: From 1–2 million baht/rai to 5–10 million baht/rai • Khao Chi Chan area: From 2–3 million baht/rai to 3–10 million baht/rai • Na Jomtien beachside: From 40 million baht/rai to 80–100 million baht/rai • Sukhumvit Road frontage: From 10–20 million baht/rai to 30–40 million baht/rai Most current investors are Thai, either Bangkok-based or local, with limited Chinese capital involvement so far. The primary focus has been on hotel, resort and tourism-related real estate development. Dr Sopon Pornchokchai, President of the Agency for Real Estate Affairs (AREA), added that mid-sized plots (10–20 rai) along Road 331 are now valued around 4–5 million baht/rai, while larger parcels (500+ rai) average 2 million baht/rai. He recommends that compensation for expropriated land be set at 20% above market value to encourage collaborative urban development. The EEC New City masterplan spans a 10-year timeline and targets six core industries: 1. Regional business headquarters and financial services 2. Precision and future medicine 3. International education and research centres 4. Tourism, leisure, and sports 5. Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) industries 6. Residential and mixed-use real estate A number of Thai and foreign companies have already expressed interest in investing. With the rapid transformation underway, Huai Yai is poised to become one of the hottest emerging investment destinations, prompting close attention from developers and urban planners alike.
