Accident Driver and Passenger Killed as Tanker Crashes into Power Pole in Phetchaburi
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A road crash in Phetchaburi province claimed the lives of two people early morning on 11 June, after a vegetable oil tanker driver lost control and slammed into a high-voltage power pole. The driver and a female passenger died at the scene, trapped inside the mangled vehicle. Police Lieutenant Colonel Sombat Yotsathisak, an investigator with Khao Yoi Police Station, responded to an emergency call reporting a serious crash involving a lorry. The incident occurred on the inbound lane of Phetkasem Road at kilometre marker 134 in Sa Phang subdistrict, Khao Yoi district. The vehicle, a yellow-plate truck registered in Chumphon, had overturned and come to rest against a high-voltage utility pole. Emergency crews from the Sawang Sanphet Dhammasathan Foundation were dispatched to the scene, equipped with hydraulic cutting tools to extract the victims. Rescuers discovered two fatalities inside the crushed cab of the truck. The driver was identified as Mr Narongdet Roythanasri, 49, from Lang Suan district in Chumphon. The female passenger, believed to be approximately 40 years old, has not yet been formally identified. Both victims were found in the front section of the truck, their bodies overlapping and pinned under the collapsed vehicle. Due to the severity of the impact, a large crane was required to separate the truck from the pole before rescue teams could begin the extraction process. It took over three hours to retrieve the bodies. Investigators noted the truck’s speedometer was stuck at 80 km/h at the moment of impact. According to the vehicle’s owner, the truck had departed Chumphon and was en route to deliver vegetable oil to Phra Pradaeng district in Samut Prakan. Police suspect the crash was caused by driver fatigue, as preliminary findings suggest the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and strike the pole. Authorities are continuing to investigate the exact cause of the crash and will coordinate with the families of the deceased to facilitate religious rites and funeral arrangements.

Transport Direct Thailand-US Flights Poised for Takeoff After 2015 Halt
New York. File photo courtesy of Wikipedia Thailand is making swift strides to reopen direct flight routes to the United States, as part of its ambition to become Southeast Asia's central aviation hub. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit announced an aggressive push for these services, highlighting the absence of non-stop flights to the US since their suspension in 2015. At that time, Thai Airways International halted flights to Los Angeles and New York, following a downgrade in Thailand's aviation safety rating by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The restoration of Thailand's Category 1 status by the FAA in April has reignited hopes for direct flights. Minister Suriya has tasked the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) with collaborating with the FAA and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to make these routes possible. Such services could significantly boost Thailand’s economy, trade, tourism, and aviation credibility on the global stage, according to Minister Suriya. To streamline processes, CAAT is exploring a pre-clearance immigration system at Thai airports, allowing travellers to undergo US immigration checks before leaving Thailand. This system promises to improve convenience and entry processes into the United States. The reestablishment of Category 1 means Thai airlines can again offer nonstop US flights and engage in codeshare agreements with American partners. Though direct routes appear economically challenging due to high fuel costs and aircraft limitations, Thai Airways is focusing on expanding codeshare agreements with US airlines like United and Delta. Meanwhile, CAAT has initiated talks with major US airports and United Airlines, which is exploring launching a Bangkok–Los Angeles service. Minister Suriya also mentioned preparations for an audit by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to assess safety oversight in August. This audit will influence the Effective Implementation Score, a critical measure of aviation safety performance worldwide. Overall, the move to reopen direct routes marks a strategic effort to elevate Thailand’s aviation industry and influence. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-12 -

Crime Counterfeit Fan Factory Busted in Khlong Luang, Husband & Wife Arrested
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have dismantled a counterfeit fan operation in Pathum Thani’s Khlong Luang district, arresting a husband and wife suspected of producing and distributing fake electric fans under the popular “Hatari” brand. The imitation goods were being sold online at significantly lower prices than genuine products, ranging from 200 to 300 baht apiece. The raid was led by Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, in coordination with senior officers from Division 8. Acting on intelligence and a court-issued search warrant, the authorities searched a warehouse in Khlong Nueng subdistrict on the afternoon of 10 June. The suspects, identified as Mr Narongdet, aged 45 and Ms Araya, aged 30, were apprehended on-site. Police discovered a large cache of counterfeit components and assembled fans, including 55 fan covers bearing the Hatari logo, 60 fan blades with guards, 116 fan stands, 61 motors, and two fully assembled fans with fake branding. Officers also seized keys to two warehouses believed to be involved in the operation. The investigation began following a complaint lodged by Hatari Electric Co., Ltd., which reported widespread unauthorised use of its registered trademark on online shopping platforms. The company expressed concern that the fraudulent products could mislead consumers and potentially pose safety hazards. To verify the claim, investigators made a controlled online purchase of a 16-inch, three-speed pedestal fan. The parcel’s return address led them to the warehouse in Khlong Luang. Surveillance confirmed suspicious activity, with staff seen packing goods in large quantities. A search warrant was then secured from the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court. When police arrived at the site, Mr Narongdet was found exiting the warehouse and was immediately approached by officers. Inside, Ms Araya was located in the office area. Both suspects admitted to managing the warehouse and cooperated fully with police during the search. During questioning, the couple confessed to selling the counterfeit items via online channels. They admitted to pricing the products well below standard retail value to attract buyers. The suspects were formally charged with “jointly selling, offering for sale, or possessing for sale goods bearing counterfeit or imitation trademarks registered in the Kingdom.” They were taken into custody, along with the seized items, to face prosecution under intellectual property laws.
