Crime Death of Child: Stepfather Admits to Killing and Dumping Body in Chiang Rai River
Picture courtesy of Siam News. A two-year-old girl who was reported missing on 8 May has been found dead after her stepfather confessed to brutally assaulting her and dumping her body in a river in Chiang Rai province. The case began when officers from Mae Fa Luang Police Station received a report at approximately 22:00 on 8 May, that Vanida, a two-year-old girl from Huai Phueng village in Mae Fa Luang district, had gone missing without a trace. Despite an extensive search operation, there was initially no sign of the child. Police later turned their attention to the girl’s stepfather, Mr. Chamnarn Saethang 35, who exhibited suspicious behaviour and fled the home while officers were conducting enquiries. Mr. Chamnarn, the current partner of the victim’s mother, Ms. Namu Saelor, was eventually located on 11 May in Huai Phueng village. During initial questioning, Mr. Chamnarn denied any knowledge of the child’s disappearance. However, his statement was contradicted by Ms. Namu, who told police that she had seen him carry the child late on the night of 8 May. A drug test administered to Mr. Chamnarn revealed traces of methamphetamine and morphine in his system. He was immediately taken into custody on charges of drug use. Under further interrogation, Mr. Chamnarn confessed to the murder. He admitted that on 8 May, he had taken little Vanida from a storage room into the house and violently threw her onto the ground five times, resulting in her death. He then placed her body in a sack, transported it on the footrest of his motorcycle, and rode approximately five kilometres to a bridge over the Nam Khum River in Samakkhi Kao village. There, he disposed of her body in the river. Following the confession, police escorted Mr. Chamnarn to the scene, where a search team eventually discovered the child’s body about 500 metres downstream from the location where she had been discarded. An autopsy was conducted by Mae Fa Luang Hospital, and police confirmed that Mr. Chamnarn remains in custody as legal proceedings continue. Adapted by Asean Now from Siam News 2025-05-14. -

Economy Thai craft beer boom: New regulations fuel brewery growth
Picture courtesy of Asia Times In a monumental move, Thailand's Cabinet has given the thumbs up to a draft ministerial regulation that could reshape the future of alcohol production across the nation. Set forth by the Excise Department under the Ministry of Finance, this landmark regulation aims to ease barriers for burgeoning alcohol producers, especially small community distilleries. The initiative aligns with the government's strategy to bolster local craftsmanship and uplift the nation's soft power through homegrown spirits. The regulation is poised to empower smaller breweries and distilleries by allowing craft beer manufacturers and brew pubs to sell their draft beer beyond the confines of their production facilities. This freedom is a golden ticket for small-scale producers to reach broader markets across the nation, driving growth and prosperity within the local alcohol industry. The regulatory changes will not only provide a boost for the beverage sector but also promote the use of local agricultural produce, ultimately enriching community economies. Among the key improvements, community distilleries will now benefit from relaxed location policies. They can set up shop within 100 meters of public water sources, contingent on employing efficient wastewater treatments to curb pollution. This significant shift abolishes previous limitations that put distilleries far from essential resources. Moreover, an exemption from the requirement to operate as a small business for a year means that qualified entrepreneurs can leap directly into establishing medium-sized distilleries, marking a substantial win for competitive growth. Moreover, recent changes have further liberalized Thailand's stringent alcohol laws. The Prime Minister's Office has sanctioned alcohol sales at five types of venues during major Buddhist holidays, offering a pragmatic balance between respect for tradition and economic imperatives. The move is anticipated to de-stigmatize holiday alcohol consumption, steering it away from illegal practices and into a regulated framework. Despite potential cultural sensitivities, Minister of Tourism and Sports Sorawong Tienthong supports the change, citing regulation as key to maintaining control over alcohol sales in tourist-heavy areas. Overall, these regulatory shifts promise to invigorate Thailand's alcohol industry, drive local economic growth, and serve as a catalyst for cultural exchange, celebrating Thai heritage through craft spirits.

Accident 73-Year-Old Woman Run Over & Killed by Van After Returning to Thailand to Visit Family
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 73-year-old woman, recently returned to Thailand after living abroad, was fatally struck by a passenger van while crossing the road during her morning walk in Ang Thong province. Police Lieutenant Manit Nakpaiboon of Mueang Ang Thong Police Station responded to reports of the collision on Phothi-Phra Ya–Tha Ruea Road, near Sinphon Alley in Sala Daeng subdistrict. Emergency personnel from Ang Thong Hospital and the local rescue foundation were dispatched to the scene. The elderly woman, identified as Mrs. Janya Midgren, was found dead at the roadside. Approximately 50 metres away, a white Toyota van registered in Ang Thong was parked with its driver waiting to surrender to police. Relatives at the scene said Mrs. Janya had only recently returned from overseas to visit her children and grandchildren. She had maintained a daily routine of walking for exercise, and on the morning of the incident, had set off as usual. The van driver, 32-year-old Mr. Suphawit, stated that he was driving the vehicle on his usual route transporting workers when he noticed the woman attempting to cross the road. Although he swerved to avoid her, the van still struck her, leading to her death on the spot. Police are continuing to gather witness statements and analyse forensic evidence from the scene to determine the exact cause of the collision. Authorities confirmed that legal proceedings will follow in accordance with the law. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-14. -

Cash is better than card-here's why
Fodder for the Luddites. It does say that the data breach DOES NOT include "useable payment or card details" ........no need to rush to the ATM or resort to bartering. Bit of a bugger though, I couldn't order the shorts I wanted today.
