Crime Counterfeit Fan Factory Busted in Khlong Luang, Husband & Wife Arrested
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have dismantled a counterfeit fan operation in Pathum Thani’s Khlong Luang district, arresting a husband and wife suspected of producing and distributing fake electric fans under the popular “Hatari” brand. The imitation goods were being sold online at significantly lower prices than genuine products, ranging from 200 to 300 baht apiece. The raid was led by Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, in coordination with senior officers from Division 8. Acting on intelligence and a court-issued search warrant, the authorities searched a warehouse in Khlong Nueng subdistrict on the afternoon of 10 June. The suspects, identified as Mr Narongdet, aged 45 and Ms Araya, aged 30, were apprehended on-site. Police discovered a large cache of counterfeit components and assembled fans, including 55 fan covers bearing the Hatari logo, 60 fan blades with guards, 116 fan stands, 61 motors, and two fully assembled fans with fake branding. Officers also seized keys to two warehouses believed to be involved in the operation. The investigation began following a complaint lodged by Hatari Electric Co., Ltd., which reported widespread unauthorised use of its registered trademark on online shopping platforms. The company expressed concern that the fraudulent products could mislead consumers and potentially pose safety hazards. To verify the claim, investigators made a controlled online purchase of a 16-inch, three-speed pedestal fan. The parcel’s return address led them to the warehouse in Khlong Luang. Surveillance confirmed suspicious activity, with staff seen packing goods in large quantities. A search warrant was then secured from the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court. When police arrived at the site, Mr Narongdet was found exiting the warehouse and was immediately approached by officers. Inside, Ms Araya was located in the office area. Both suspects admitted to managing the warehouse and cooperated fully with police during the search. During questioning, the couple confessed to selling the counterfeit items via online channels. They admitted to pricing the products well below standard retail value to attract buyers. The suspects were formally charged with “jointly selling, offering for sale, or possessing for sale goods bearing counterfeit or imitation trademarks registered in the Kingdom.” They were taken into custody, along with the seized items, to face prosecution under intellectual property laws.

Accident Crash Claims Life of M6 Student in Phrae Province
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A M6 student was killed after a motorcycle crash led to him being struck by a fully-loaded lorry in Huai Ma District, Phrae Province. The incident occurred in the early evening of 10 June, on the Rong Fong–Pa Daeng Road near Dr. Kimhan Clinic and the entrance to the Ban Pong Sri crematorium in Moo 6, Ban Thin Subdistrict. According to reports from Police Sub-Lieutenant Sitthipot Thananchai, the investigating officer from Huai Ma Police Station, the student, identified only as “A”, was riding his motorcycle home from school with two friends after classes had ended. The group had planned to stop for haircuts. Eyewitnesses, including a friend of the deceased, stated that “A” was riding alone while his friends were on separate bikes. As they approached the scene, a car in front caused “A” to lose control of his motorcycle, leading to a collision with one of his friend’s bike. “A” was thrown onto the road. A stone-carrying lorry following closely behind was unable to stop in time due to its heavy load and struck the student. Emergency responders from the Ban Thin municipal rescue unit attempted CPR at the scene and a Phrae hospital ambulance was dispatched. Despite efforts, “A” succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards. The 29-year-old lorry driver, Mr. Natthakorn, stated that he was transporting stone from a company depot to a shop in Ban Thin. He said he saw the motorbikes collide and attempted to brake, but the vehicle’s momentum made it impossible to stop in time. He remained at the scene and cooperated fully with authorities. Police recorded the scene and are continuing to investigate the incident. Further interviews and evidence will be gathered to determine the accountability of the crash.

Report Surachate 'Big Joke' Hakpal Leads Southern Support for Troops Defending Thai Sovereignty
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Under the leadership of Police General Surachate Hakparn, the Southern People's Association, along with allied networks, delivered 1,000 bags of rice and 1,000 packs of drinking water to soldiers stationed at the Prasat Ta Muen Thom operations base in Surin province. The donation aims to support troops from the 21st Infantry Battalion, represented by Lieutenant Colonel Jakkrit Piyasubharerk. In addition to essential supplies, the organisation presented amulets to boost morale among the military personnel. The gesture was part of a broader community effort, with locals bringing non-perishable food and other essentials to support the soldiers. Residents and local leaders near the border village have constructed bunkers in key areas such as schools and temples, demonstrating the need for continued support, especially sandbags and cement pipes, to enhance shelter facilities. Picture courtesy of Siam Rath General Surachate encouraged Thai citizens nationwide to support the soldiers in their mission to protect the country's sovereignty. The association continues to monitor the situation closely and urges the public to stay informed via its official page or direct contact. Despite tensions, the area has seen an increase in visitors, reflecting public confidence in the military presence and community safety, with current daily arrivals peaking at 500 individuals, up from 20 on previous days.
