Police Sergeant Found Dead in Resort Room with Suicide Note
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident unfolded at a resort in Tha Chana District, Surat Thani, where a police sergeant was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities discovered a suicide note expressing despair over his struggles with chronic health conditions. At approximately 12:20 on 29 January, Police Lieutenant Samatphong Kim-Ao, an investigator from Tha Chana Police Station, received a report of a fatal shooting at a local resort. Upon arrival, officers found the body of a 31-year-old police sergeant lying on a bed, dressed in a red T-shirt. A single gunshot wound was visible on his chest, with a 9mm pistol found beside him. The deceased had checked into the resort alone at around 22:00 on 28 January. Staff recalled hearing a loud noise resembling firecrackers around 23:00 but dismissed it as part of Chinese New Year celebrations. When the guest failed to respond the following morning, the resort owner unlocked the room with a spare key and made the grim discovery. At the scene, police recovered a single 9mm shell casing, the firearm with 15 remaining rounds, and four handwritten notes lamenting his life struggles. A backpack containing medication and an official police ID was also found. Authorities confirmed that the deceased had been suffering from multiple chronic illnesses, requiring regular medication. The case is being treated as a suicide, though a full investigation and forensic examination are ongoing. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. -- 2025-01-30 -

Foundation Seeks 50,000 Signatures to Oppose Thai Casinos
Picture courtesy: Naewna In a decisive push against the introduction of casinos in Thailand, the Stop Gambling Foundation, alongside 200 partner organisations, is rallying to gather 50,000 signatures. Their goal is to petition the current Pheu Thai-led government to reconsider plans to incorporate casinos within future entertainment complex projects. The coalition is also demanding that any decision on this matter be preceded by a public referendum, ensuring that citizens' voices are heard before action is taken. At a recent press conference entitled "People Move Forward to Hunt for 50,000 Signatures, No to Casinos, Must Hold Referendum," held at the Miracle Grand Convention Hotel, representatives from various professions, including academics and students, voiced their concerns. They argued that while large capitalists stand to benefit from the introduction of casinos, the broader population and the nation's economy could suffer negative repercussions. Asst. Prof. Dr. Chittawan Chanagul from Kasetsart University's Faculty of Economics cautioned against relying on vice to drive economic policies. He highlighted that countries like China and the Philippines, despite facing similar economic temptations, have kept casinos illegal within their borders. The stance of Chinese President Xi Jinping against domestic casinos demonstrates a commitment to economic integrity over short-term gains, he noted. Dr. Chittawan emphasised the necessity of a referendum, much like what would be expected in any forward-thinking nation. He pointed out that no political party had campaigned on legalising casinos, making the current government's policy shift seem insincere. Ms. Nattharin Kasemsanpipat, known affectionately as Ja-eh Oxygen of the Poor, added her voice to the debate, expressing concern that political campaigns had not previously addressed the casino issue. She argued that bypassing a referendum undermines public opinion, stressing that the country fundamentally belongs to its people. Mr. Thanakorn Komkrit, the secretary-general of the Stop Gambling Foundation, stated the urgency of their mission, with the petition calling for the government to initiate a referendum within 120 days of its receipt. This collective action underscores the deep-seated opposition within segments of Thai society to the introduction of casinos, spotlighting the desire for transparent governance and public consultation in shaping national policy, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2025-01-30
