Rescued 2 Women Saved After Being Swept Away by Strong Currents: Nakhon Si Thammarat
Picture and video from responders In a tense and dramatic operation, rescue teams successfully saved two women who could not swim and were swept away by strong flood currents in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The victims managed to cling to an electricity pole, preventing a potential tragedy. The incident occurred at 11:00 on December 16, when the women became stranded in rising and fast-flowing floodwaters on Thew Buri Road in Pho Sadet Subdistrict, Mueang District. Responding to the emergency, rescue teams from the Mittraphap Samakkhi Foundation in Hat Yai, along with the Tai Tek Tung rescue unit, deployed a boat to reach the victims. The situation was extremely challenging, with water levels rising rapidly and currents flowing at dangerous speeds. Despite the difficulties, the rescuers persevered and were able to bring the two women to safety. The victims, visibly shaken but unharmed, expressed their gratitude to the rescue team. The operation highlights the ongoing dangers posed by flooding in the region during the rainy season. Authorities have urged residents to exercise caution and avoid venturing into flooded areas. -- 2024-12-17 -

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
