Illegal Gambling Den Raided in Rayong – 50 Arrested, but Local Politician Escapes Scrutiny
UPDATE Rayong Police Chief Denies Political Involvement in Gambling Raid Picture courtesy of Khoasod. Rayong’s Provincial Police Chief, Pol. Gen. Phuminthana Singhasut, has clarified the details surrounding a recent gambling raid in the district, denying any involvement of local politicians or community leaders. He confirmed that only 15 gamblers were arrested, not the 50 initially reported, and there was no evidence of political figures participating in the illicit activity. The incident took place at a snooker hall in Klaeng District, where authorities raided the venue after receiving a tip-off about an illegal VIP room operating as a gambling den, offering dice and boxing betting. Upon arriving, law enforcement officers found dozens of vehicles outside the venue, leading them to suspect a large operation. It initially was reported that the authorities seized gambling equipment and arrested 50 people, including some suspected local leaders. However, after further investigation, it was revealed that many of those initially detained were merely snooker players and bystanders, not involved in gambling. Only 15 individuals, including eight who were gambling with dice and seven playing card games, were formally charged. The police found no evidence to support claims that any local politicians were part of the operation, and no further action has been taken against officers in the area. The raid team expressed frustration at the misrepresentation of the event, asserting that video footage from the raid clearly showed over 50 individuals involved in gambling at the scene. Despite this, only 15 were officially processed, raising concerns among officers that the investigation had been mishandled. They also warned that if local authorities continue to cover up such activities, efforts to combat illegal gambling will remain ineffective. Local residents in the vicinity of the snooker hall expressed frustration as well, stating that the gambling operation had been ongoing for years, with cars regularly filling the area on weekends. Despite the long-standing community awareness, they felt that authorities had failed to take action until now. The investigation into the raid is ongoing, with Rayong police vowing to ensure the truth is revealed and that all those responsible for the illegal activities are held accountable. -- 2025-03-18 -

Collision Involving Fuel Tanker Sparks Fire Fears in Khon Kaen
Pictures from responders. An incident occurred on the afternoon of 17 March, in Khon Kaen, when an 18-wheeler truck driver lost control and collided with the rear of a tanker truck carrying 48,000 litres of highly flammable fuel. The incident occurred as the fuel tanker was en route from the fuel depot in Nam Phong District, Khon Kaen, bound for Rayong Province and prompted emergency services to respond with extreme caution due to the risk of a fire or explosion. The collision took place on the Khon Kaen bypass road, near Ban Non Rueang, in the Muang District. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to find the 18-wheeler truck, registered in Maha Sarakham, with its front severely damaged. The driver was injured in the crash and was promptly transported to Khon Kaen Bangkok Hospital for treatment. The collision caused a rupture in the fuel tanker, leading to a significant fuel leak from the damaged valve area. Fortunately, no immediate fire broke out, but the potential risk remained extremely high due to the nature of the cargo. To prevent any ignition, fire trucks from Ban Kho Municipality, Samran Municipality, and Sila Municipality, along with foam trucks from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Region 6, were deployed to the scene. The emergency teams used water spray curtains, to suppress flammable vapours and prevent any ignition sources effecting the scene. The leak was contained by using the DDPM hazmat kit. As a precautionary measure, the Khon Kaen Highway Police and local authorities closed off traffic around the site, advising motorists to avoid the area. They also warned the public to refrain from stopping to view the incident, smoking, or using mobile phones in the vicinity, as potential ignition sources. The transport company responsible for the delivery quickly dispatched another tanker to the scene, to the transfer the fuel from the damaged truck. Engineers from the Khon Kaen Petroleum Depot were also on hand to supervise the fuel transfer process, ensuring that the operation was carried out safely. The investigation into the cause of the collision is ongoing. -- 2025-03-18
