Chinese Nationals Arrested for Working as Real Estate Agents in Pattaya
Picture courtesy: Naew Na Authorities arrested five Chinese nationals and one undocumented individual for illegally working as property brokers in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, without proper permits. This action is part of a broader crackdown by the Tourism Police to combat illegal working and living activities by foreigners. On 16 December 2024, under the leadership of Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira Phueakam, officers executed a search warrant at an unnamed real estate office across from The Chill shopping centre on Boon Samphan Road, Nong Prue. The individuals were caught working as brokers, using online platforms to advertise properties to Chinese customers. Investigations revealed that some properties involved had connections to a previously busted call centre gang. The suspects admitted to earning income through sales commissions on these property deals. These individuals face charges under the Foreign Workers Act for working without permits and the Immigration Act for unlawful entry into the kingdom. Initial proceedings are being conducted at Nong Prue Police Station. Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira reiterated the importance of heightened vigilance by all local units to prevent illegal employment of foreigners in key tourist areas, aiming to curb crime and ensure safety in these regions, reported Naew Na.

Myanmar to Pardon Jailed Thai Fishermen After Diplomatic Talks
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath In a significant diplomatic development, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra announced that the four Thai fishermen, recently sentenced to lengthy prison terms by Myanmar, are set to receive a pardon. The announcement follows tensions that erupted after a Myanmar navy engagement off the southern coast of Myanmar on November 30, which resulted in the capture and subsequent imprisonment of these seamen. The complexity of the case began when the Myanmar navy intercepted three Thai fishing vessels in what was alleged to be unauthorised territorial waters fishing. Tragically, this incident also resulted in the death of a crew member and injuries to others when Myanmar patrol boats opened fire, towing one Thai trawler to Yan Cheuk Island near Kawthaung township. The Kawthaung Provincial Court handed the vessel's owner a six-year sentence for illegal fishing and unlawful entry, accompanied by a fine of 200,000 Kyat (approximately 2,400 Thai Baht). Each of the three Thai crew members received four years, combining charges of illegal fishing and entry, alongside fines totaling 30,000 Kyat each (roughly 360 Thai Baht). Additionally, the 27 Myanmar crew members aboard were sentenced to a year for illegal entry. Upon her return from Malaysia, Prime Minister Paetongtarn relayed that Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa had ensured her these judicial proceedings were procedural formalities. It's understood that conversations with Myanmar’s authorities have initiated a path towards pardon, contingent on internal legal processes concluding. The timing of this potential clemency aligns with regular practices seen in Myanmar's legal system, often aiming to settle such affairs amicably before public holidays. This diplomatic initiative underscores Thailand's engagement with Myanmar, fostering a resolution amid strained circumstances. Maris’s assurance signals optimism for a New Year return for the Thai fishermen, a gesture that might ease bilateral tensions. However, while acknowledging these discussions, Paetongtarn refrained from directly linking this case with the recent arrest of six Myanmar sailors in Thailand, apprehended for allegedly smuggling a massive quantity of salted shrimp. As diplomatic efforts continue, observers await the unfolding of these negotiations, which symbolize the countries’ ongoing dialogue and cooperation, essential for maintaining regional stability. These developments offer a glimmer of hope for the affected families and underscore the importance of harmonious cross-border relations in resolving complex international issues, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-12-17 -

Jealousy and Abuse Lead to Tragic Shooting in Chonburi
Picture from responders. In a shocking incident in Chonburi's Phan Thong district, a 39- year-old woman fatally shot her husband, a village assistant headman, after a heated argument over infidelity and ongoing domestic violence. The tragedy unfolded at around noon on December 16 at a house in Nong Hong subdistrict. Police officers from Phan Thong Police Station, led by Pol. Lt. Chathakanin Inson, arrived at the scene alongside medical staff and rescue workers. They discovered the body of Mr. Jumphon Sonsamret, 36, kneeling face-down near the bed, wearing only gray shorts. He had sustained eight gunshot wounds to his back, with five bullets exiting through his chest. Evidence at the scene included five 9mm shell casings, two .380 bullets, and two semi-automatic handguns, a 9mm and a .380, both loaded. Clumps of hair were also found in the bedroom, further indicating signs of previous violence. The suspect, Ms. Anantaya Nimitmala, was found crying outside the house and admitted to shooting her husband. She told police that the argument began over financial troubles and his alleged infidelity. She described years of physical abuse, including being confined to the house out of jealousy and being assaulted regularly. The altercation escalated when Mr. Jumphon allegedly cut her hair during the weekend and assaulted her again earlier that morning. Fearing for her life when he threatened her with a gun, Ms. Anantaya retrieved her own firearm, reportedly purchased from a police officer, and fired multiple shots at him. Authorities have taken Ms. Anantaya into custody for further questioning and legal proceedings, while the victim's body has been sent to Chonburi Hospital for an autopsy. Adding an eerie dimension to the case, it was revealed that Mr. Jumphon had recently posted on social media about a fortune- teller's prediction that he would die from gunfire. He claimed to have entrusted evidence of the prediction to a close friend, stating he was unafraid of the future but feared good people might betray him. As Ms. Anantaya was escorted to the police station, the victim's father, visibly enraged, attempted to attack her, prompting officers to intervene and prevent further conflict. -- 2024-12-17
