Crime Park Ranger Shot Dead by Hunter in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A park ranger was fatally shot by a hunter in the Khao Nan National Park area on 12 May, with the gunman claiming he mistook the victim for a wild boar. The incident has stirred local fears of a supposed forest curse, following several similar fatal shootings in the region. Police Lieutenant Sakdanan Duangyotha, an investigator at Tha Sala Police Station, received a report of a shooting in an oil palm plantation in Moo 4, Taling Chan subdistrict. Officers rushed to the scene and found the body of 30-year-old Mr. Krisasiri Pinprayoon, known as “Benz”, a forest protection officer with Khao Nan National Park. The victim had been shot with multiple shotgun pellets, which had left his body riddled with wounds. Investigators noted that nearby rubber trees were also peppered with shotgun fire, with latex visibly leaking from the bark. A treehouse-style hunting blind and a hammock tied to the tree, were discovered nearby, believed to be the shooter’s perch. Witnesses reported that Mr. Krisasiri had been leading a patrol through the area alongside other rangers when he was shot. It is suspected that the gunman, lying in wait for wild animals, fired upon seeing a light or movement, believing it to be game. Police later apprehended the suspect, 37-year-old Mr. Manat, who was found in possession of a locally made long-barrelled shotgun. During questioning, Mr. Manat admitted he had been hunting from a tree blind when he saw a shadowy figure and fired, assuming it was a wild boar. Upon realising he had shot a person, he fled the scene but was later captured by authorities. Police continue to investigate the case and have pledged to enforce stricter measures against illegal hunting in protected forest areas. Mr. Manat is expected to face charges of manslaughter and illegal possession and use of a firearm. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-05-14. -

Community Udon Thani: Woman Found Dead in Pond After Conflict with Children Over Work
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 54-year-old woman was found dead in a pond in Udon Thani province after reportedly becoming despondent over her children’s insistence that she stop working. The tragic discovery was made at approximately 19:30 on 12 May, in the Nong Na Lam community, Sam Phrao subdistrict, Mueang Udon Thani district. Police Lieutenant Songphop Khamjai of Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, along with rescue divers from the Udon Thani Dhamma Foundation, were called to the scene after receiving a report of a possible drowning. The pond, around four metres deep, took more than 20 minutes to search before the body of the deceased, identified as Ms. Ladda, 54, was recovered. According to preliminary forensic findings, the cause of death was drowning. Her body was transferred to Udon Thani Hospital’s Suwankhadee mortuary pending further arrangements by her family. Close friend Mr. Pieak, also 54, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of questioning, told police that Ms. Ladda had sold clothes in the city and often confided in him when she was distressed. He noted that she had repeatedly expressed sorrow over her children’s decision to prevent her from working following a recent motorbike crash, in which she collided with another person. Her children paid 20,000 baht in damages and asked her to stay home, assuring her they would support her financially. “Yesterday, she told me she wanted to die,” Mr. Pieak said. “I tried to comfort her. Today she came by again, we had a drink and I made her something to eat. But when I came back with the food, she was gone.” Fearing the worst, he began searching the area and contacted authorities after recalling her earlier comments about ending her life in the pond nearby. Another local resident, 71-year-old Ms. Phunsap, the owner of the pond, said she knew the deceased well and had seen her regularly with Mr. Pieak. She described an emotional final encounter earlier that evening when Ms. Ladda hugged her tightly, massaged her arms and legs, and said, “Mother, I want to die.” “I told her not to speak like that,” Ms. Phunsap recounted. “She then bowed down and touched my feet before saying goodbye. I never imagined she truly meant it.” The case has left the local community shocked and saddened. Friends and neighbours recalled Ms. Ladda as someone who found joy in working and who struggled emotionally with the idea of staying idle, despite her children’s good intentions. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-14.
