Crime Drunken Adopted Son Kills Elderly Parents with Axe Before Taking Own Life in Nan Province
Picture courtesy of Amarin. A 41-year-old man brutally killed his elderly adoptive parents before hanging himself, in a horrifying incident that has shocked the local community in Nan province. The incident unfolded at a house in Ban Pa Tong Don Sai Thong, Moo 8, Sila Phet subdistrict, Pua district. Mr Thamchinda “Pong” Nakai, aged 41, allegedly used an axe to strike his 80-year-old adoptive father, Mr Inphai Nakai, fatally as he slept. He then turned the weapon on his adoptive mother, Mrs Phai Nakai, also 80, who was preparing chilli paste in the kitchen, killing her as well. Following the double murder, Mr Pong hanged himself in his bedroom. A chilling message he had scrawled on the wall, cursing others, was discovered nearby. Neighbours raised the alarm after a local frog seller found the house unusually quiet when delivering an order. Concerned, neighbours forced entry and found Mr Inphai dead on his bed with severe head injuries. In the kitchen, Mrs Phai was found lifeless, beside a mortar and pestle, with similar wounds to the head. Upon further inspection, Mr Pong’s body was discovered in his bedroom, hanging by a piece of cloth. Relatives told reporters that both Mr Inphai and Mrs Phai had their own children from previous marriages before they met. Mr Pong was taken in and raised as their own after being abandoned at birth in a hospital. The couple treated him as their biological son, while their other children moved away to start their own families. According to relatives, Mr Pong was an alcoholic who frequently argued with Mr Inphai. He had mortgaged the family home and land, and it is believed mounting financial pressure and the prospect of losing the property may have driven him to commit the murders. It was also revealed that Mr Pong had written the ominous message on the wall as early as 16 April but had covered it with a cloth, hiding it from view. During the recent Songkran festival, he had asked relatives to take a family photo, stating cryptically that it would be needed later, a request that, at the time, raised no suspicions. Mr Saenoh Kongkhun, the village assistant headman and a neighbour, said he had noticed nothing unusual on the morning of the incident. He had seen Mrs Phai picking chillies in the garden as usual, and no disturbances were heard from the house. Police are continuing their investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-04-27. -

Thermodynamically Speaking: Should I keep my house at a constant temp to save money?
Can't move to a house which is properly insulated. The walls are built of brick with no insulation on the walls. The windows are single pane glazing. So, who knows....might it be better to just run the ACs to maintain a constant temp....? Or, would it be better to shut off the ACs in the morning, and afternoon, and then try to cool down the rooms after they have reached 32 degrees? Actually.... I am not so sure which might be better.... However...I am going for the latter. I will just keep the ACs going, 24/7, and set at 22.5 degrees C. And then, the temp inside the house will remain constant. And then....will this be the better option for saving money on electricity? Certainly, doing this will be better for comfort. And, no longer will the ACs need to operate at FULL BLAST. They will just keep on cooking. And, they will maintain the temperature of the mass of the house, including brick walls, at a constant temp.... No need to go from 21 degrees to 33 degrees, every day....if you get my meaning. ============ Proper insulation is almost unheard of here in Thailand. They love the heat, here, and hate the freezing cold during the Cold Season. -

Accident Supercar Destroyed in Fiery Three-Vehicle Collision in Bangkok
UPDATE Ferrari Owner Reaches Compensation Agreement Over Fireball Crash in Thawi Watthana Picture courtesy of Inside Thailand. At 14:00 on 26 April, at Thammasala Police Station in Thawi Watthana district, Mr Kamol Silathong, father of the driver and owner of the Ferrari involved in a fiery collision, met with the parties affected to negotiate compensation. The incident occurred in the early hours of 23 April at around 02:20 on Borommaratchachonnani Road, Salathammasop subdistrict, when Mr Kamol’s Ferrari collided with a Mercedes-Benz, resulting in both vehicles catching fire. A pickup truck was also damaged in the crash. Mr Kamol revealed that an agreement had been reached with both parties. As compensation, he agreed to provide the owner of the destroyed Mercedes-Benz with a new model, a Mercedes-Benz C200 AMG, which is an upgrade from the vehicle lost in the fire. Meanwhile, the owner of the damaged pickup truck, Mr Thongpitak Saklaew, aged 51, received a monetary settlement of 55,000 baht. Both parties expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. Investigators at Thammasala Police Station stated that the legal case remains ongoing. Authorities are awaiting forensic results before summoning the drivers of all three vehicles to face potential charges. Mr Thongpitak, the pickup truck owner, said he had been trapped in his vehicle after the crash but was rescued by the drivers of both the Ferrari and the Mercedes-Benz, for which he expressed his gratitude. Relatives of the Mercedes-Benz owner attended the meeting today on their behalf. However, they declined to comment on their satisfaction with the settlement.
