Report Kok River Check Dam: Doubts Over Toxic Waste Solution
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World Trouble is brewing in Chiang Rai over plans for check dams on the Kok River. Thai experts raise red flags about the dams’ ability to trap toxic sediments from Myanmar’s mines. Concerns peak as sediment might just spread further downstream. Dr Sitang Pilailar, a professor at Kasetsart University’s Water Resource Engineering Department, states that sedimentation is natural in rivers. Check dams, best suited for streams, may worsen the situation in rivers. She stresses the need for detailed studies before building any permanent structures. Temporary check dams could be swept away, spreading concentrated sediments even more, Dr Sitang warns. The government must plan how to dispose of toxins collected from the riverbed to avoid environmental hazards. Kanchanaburi’s toxic creek, tainted by lead mining despite court orders, serves as a cautionary tale. As Myanmar mines keep dumping waste into the river, Dr Sitang says fixing Kok River's contamination is a long shot. Somkiat Kuenchiangsa from Living River Siam Association fears ecological impacts, affecting those who depend on the river for water and agriculture. On the political front, Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samrejvanich is pressing for dialogue with Myanmar. However, she notes China’s pivotal role, with its investors driving the mining operations in Shan state. While Theerarat backs check dams for their ease of construction and repair, resolving the river’s contamination might require more than stopgap measures. The concerns raised underscore the urgency for a cohesive, multinational strategy. The outcome of Thailand’s discussions with Myanmar and China might just chart the future of the Kok River's health. Building check dams is a start, but the real challenge is ensuring they provide a lasting solution. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-06-18 -

Crime Teenage Boy Stabs Another After Alleged Assault in Hat Yai
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 16-year-old boy has been taken into custody after a violent altercation in Songkhla province resulted in one young man being seriously injured in a stabbing. At approximately 08:30 on 17 June, officers from Hat Yai Police Station received a report of a knife attack near Moo 4, Ban Klang, in the Khuan Lang area. The incident occurred near a kratom drink stall across from a local municipal nursery school. Upon arriving at the scene, police found traces of blood and a discarded knife sheath. The victim, identified as Mr. Adisorn Suwannamala, 19, sustained stab wounds to the chest and right arm. He was discovered approximately 400 metres away alongside two motorcycles and emergency responders from Khuan Lang Rescue Unit rushed him to Hat Yai Hospital. The alleged assailant, a 16-year-old boy known only as “Zah”, works at the kratom stall opposite the scene. He too sustained head injuries and was later found about 500 metres from the incident, on Fueang Pracha Road. Rescue workers transported him to the hospital, where he handed over the knife to authorities. Hat Yai Police investigators later escorted the teenager to the station for questioning. He has been charged with attempted murder while officers continue to determine the precise circumstances of the incident. According to police, statements from witnesses and those involved contain inconsistencies that are being investigated further. One friend of the victim claimed that he and three others went to buy kratom tea and were preparing to leave when Zah called out to Adisorn by name. Adisorn, reportedly upset at not being addressed respectfully, returned to question Zah. A physical confrontation ensued, eventually escalating into a group scuffle. During the melee, Zah allegedly stabbed Adisorn before fleeing. However, Zah offered a different account. He stated that he was working when Adisorn and his friends approached and dragged him outside. He claimed that one of them brandished a firearm and chambered a round, prompting him to run in fear. He said he was then attacked by the group of four. During the struggle, a knife fell to the ground, which he picked up and used to stab in self-defence before escaping and asking a local resident to call for help. Police say both parties are being investigated thoroughly. Once the case file is complete, charges will be formally submitted and the case forwarded to the juvenile court, given the suspect’s age.
