Teenage Boy Found Dead in Lake After Leaving Home Following Argument with Mother
Picture from responders The body of a 19-year-old teenager was discovered floating in Bung Si Than, a lake within Khon Kaen University on the morning of 17 February, over two days after he had reportedly left home following a disagreement with his mother. Rescue workers from the Sawang Khon Kaen Samakkhi Foundation were alerted to the discovery after a jogger spotted the body and notified university security staff. Upon arrival, they found the body of a young male, bloated and partially decomposed, wearing an orange school T-shirt and dark blue jeans. It was estimated that he had been dead for at least 48 hours. A woman at the scene, later identified as 51-year-old Thanyalak, recognised the deceased as her son, Panyakorn, who had been missing since late night of 14 February. She recounted that she had reprimanded him for spending too much time on his phone. Shortly after, he stormed out of the house, taking only his iPhone 14 but leaving behind the charger. After being unable to reach him, she reported his disappearance to Muang Khon Kaen Police Station. When informed of the discovery at the pond, she rushed to the scene and confirmed that the clothing and body matched her son’s description. Authorities are conducting further investigations to determine the exact cause of death. -- 2025-02-18 -

Operation Launched to Rescue 10,000 Foreigners from Myanmar Scammers
Picture courtesy: Naewna Efforts are intensifying to rescue approximately 10,000 foreign nationals believed to be trapped within scam operations in Myanmar. As these centres become a focal point of transnational crime, authorities on both sides of the Thai-Myanmar border have united in a robust crackdown. Pol Gen Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, at the helm of the Royal Thai Police’s Anti-Human Trafficking Center and Police Cyber Taskforce, announced a renewed commitment to work closely with Myanmar under the National Referral Mechanism (NRM). This coalition aims to identify victims of human trafficking, ensuring their return to their home countries. The Kingdom of Thailand currently plays a facilitating role. Verified victims who seek justice against their traffickers must lodge complaints within Myanmar’s judicial system. This strategic decision emerged from pivotal discussions at police headquarters in Bangkok, focusing on the intersection of call centre scams and trafficking. Key stakeholders include foreign embassy representatives, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and the US Homeland Security Investigations. Pol Gen Thatchai emphasised the importance of intelligence sharing, pointing to the establishment of an online platform. This network will enhance collaboration between embassies, pooling resources to combat these criminal enterprises. On another front, Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai highlighted a collaborative operation involving China’s Assistant Minister for Public Security, Liu Zhongyi. This joint effort between Thailand, Myanmar, and China signals a strategic offensive against Chinese-operated scams nestled within Myanmar. The operation follows earlier concerns about China's expanding direct intervention, bypassing Thai jurisdiction as they rescue and repatriate their nationals. Mr Phumtham reassured that Thailand remains a central ally in this operation, with plans for further discussions with Chinese officials underway. The operation's momentum is rooted in severing essential services—electricity, oil, and internet—to pressure Myanmar’s government and ethnic entities into dismantling these scams. Such measures have reportedly shown early signs of success, particularly in regions governed by groups like the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA). Sources have confirmed that the DKBA recently detained 86 Chinese individuals suspected of scam involvement in Payathonzu township, strategically opposite Thailand's Sangkhla Buri district. This is part of broader efforts to eradicate scam hubs within their jurisdiction by the end of October. Thailand observes these initiatives keenly, recognising them as crucial steps towards dissociating the regional economy from illicit activities. While challenges remain, this coalition may redefine counter-trafficking and ensure the protection and repatriation of exploited individuals trapped within these fraudulent operations, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-18
