Two College Students Killed in Motorbike Collision with Songthaew in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Picture from responders. A road crash claimed the lives of two college students in Nakhon Si Thammarat after their motorbike collided with a songthaew that was making an unsafe U-turn. The incident occurred at approximately 18:00 on 21 February at a U-turn in Moo 16, Tha Ruea subdistrict, Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat district. Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene to find both students critically injured. Despite efforts to administer CPR, one died at the scene, while the other succumbed to injuries later at Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital. Their motorbike, a grey Honda with registration number from Nakhon Si Thammarat, was found severely damaged, while the songthaew was parked a short distance away. The victims, a male and female student from a local college in Nakhon Si Thammarat, were on their way home to Chian Yai district after classes. The deceased female 16, died at the scene, while the 16-year-old male, who was driving the motorbike, passed away in hospital. Witnesses reported that as the students were riding along the road, a songthaew attempted to make a U-turn without proper caution. The motorbike was unable to brake in time, resulting in a high-impact collision. Authorities are gathering evidence and witness statements to determine responsibility and proceed with legal action against the songthaew driver. -- 2025-02-23 -

Jealous 83-Year-Old Fatally Stabs Former Partner Over Bicycle Dispute in Ratchaburi
Picture from responders. An 83-year-old man went on the run after allegedly stabbing his former partner to death in front of his home in Ban Pong district, Ratchaburi, following a long-standing dispute over a bicycle. The fatal attack occurred at approximately 19:15 on 21 February along Saeng Chuto Road in Tha Pha subdistrict. Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene to find the body of 60-year-old Nattida, also known as “Auntie Mali”, lying in a pool of blood. She had suffered five stab wounds to the chest, ribs, and arms. Nearby, her cream-coloured bicycle, a black shoulder bag, and a fruit-peeling knife were discovered. The suspect, identified as Boonsri, fled the scene on an old blue Honda Tiena motorbike. Witnesses reported seeing him heading towards central Ban Pong. According to a witness, known only as Mr. A, the victim had been working who had been working for him, as a carer for his bedridden mother for about a year, would commute daily by bicycle to his home, passing Boonsri’s house en route. Although the pair had ended their relationship over a decade ago, Boonsri had repeatedly attempted to reconcile. The situation escalated on 27 January when he took Nattida’s bicycle, allegedly to force a meeting. She, fearing for her safety, asked others to retrieve it, but Boonsri refused and threatened her life. As a result, she filed a police complaint, and the bicycle was eventually returned. On the day of the murder, Mr. A had dinner with Nattida before heading to withdraw his wages from an ATM. She left early for home. When he later arrived home, he found her fatally wounded outside Boonsri’s house. Preliminary investigations suggest that Boonsri confronted Nattida as she cycled past his home, leading to a heated argument that ended in violence. Ban Pong Police Superintendent, Pol. Col. Piyapong Wongketjai, stated that the murder was likely driven by jealousy. He confirmed that officers are actively searching for Boonsri and believe he has not fled far due to his age and the poor condition of his motorbike. Authorities are also working with his family to persuade him to surrender. -- 2025-02-23 -

Loan Shark Gang Leader Arrested After Violent Debt Collection Incident in Chiang Mai
Picture of arrest. Police have arrested a notorious loan shark gang leader known as “Oat” following reports of violent debt collection tactics, including an attack on a noodle shop in Saraphi district, Chiang Mai. The incident has left local residents fearful and has sparked a crackdown on illegal money lending operations in the region. The arrest follows an incident on 21 February when a gang of illegal moneylenders was reported to have used intimidation tactics against a debtor in Chaiyasathan subdistrict, Saraphi. Social media posts described how a noodle shop was vandalised after the borrower failed to answer collection calls, despite insisting they had never missed a payment. The violent nature of the incident caused widespread alarm in the local community. On 22 February, a joint operation led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Kritthapol Yisakhon, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 5, along with senior officers from Chiang Mai Provincial Police, resulted in the arrest of 33-year-old Oat. He was charged with operating an unauthorised lending business, offering loans at unlawfully high interest rates, and engaging in financial practices resembling those of a regulated bank without proper licensing. Authorities also seized evidence, including • A silver Toyota Corona (registration from Chiang Mai) • A black Oppo mobile phone Oat is now facing legal proceedings as part of a broader effort to dismantle illegal loan networks that exploit vulnerable borrowers. Pol. Lt. Gen. Kritthapol emphasised that ensuring public safety is a top priority, warning that similar cases will be dealt with swiftly and decisively. He reiterated that authorities in the northern region are committed to eradicating illegal moneylending operations and protecting residents from financial exploitation and intimidation. The crackdown on underground lending networks reflects the Thai government’s ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes and ensure economic justice for all citizens. Further investigations are underway to identify and prosecute additional members of the gang. -- 2025-02-23 -

Drunken Russian Passenger Causes Chaos on Flight to Phuket
Picture captured from video. Passengers on a flight from Khabarovsk, Russia, to Phuket, teported to be this week, but no details of the exact date is available, were left stunned after a female traveller, heavily intoxicated mid-flight, created a scene by harassing fellow passengers before stripping off her lower half and lying in the aisle. According to eyewitnesses, the incident began shortly after takeoff when the woman, seemingly eager to start her holiday early, started drinking excessively. As her alcohol consumption increased, so did her disruptive behaviour. Passengers reported that she became loud and intrusive, attempting to engage in inappropriate conversations with those seated nearby. Despite the unsettling ordeal, the aircraft continued its journey without further disruption and landed safely at Phuket International Airport. It remains unclear whether Thai authorities were informed of the incident or if any legal action was taken against the passenger upon arrival. While airline representatives have yet to issue a formal statement regarding this particular incident, several passengers have spoken out about their discomfort. Some have called for stricter measures to prevent such behaviour, including increased monitoring of alcohol consumption on flights and tougher penalties for offenders. -- 2025-02-23 -
