Cyber Police Arrest Hua Hin Teen Gang Running Online Gambling Website
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. Cyber police have arrested a gang of young entrepreneurs in Hua Hin who set up an online gambling website under the LAVAMAX1688 network. Over an eight-month period, the operation saw financial transactions exceeding 8 million baht. At a press conference on 22 Match, held at the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) headquarters in Muang Thong Thani, Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairong Phiwphan, Commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), along with senior officers, announced the arrests of the suspects involved in the illicit online gambling network. The investigation, led by the Special News and Digital Tools Analysis Division, uncovered that LAVAMAX1688 had amassed over a thousand registered members, with substantial financial activity across multiple bank accounts. These accounts were systematically categorised for different purposes: receiving bets, paying winnings, holding funds temporarily, and distributing profits to beneficiaries. Further inquiries revealed that the suspects, all young adults, had established their base of operations in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, and had assigned specific roles within their group to manage the gambling business efficiently. Based on the evidence gathered, officers obtained arrest warrants from Khon Kaen Provincial Court for seven individuals connected to the operation. On 21 March 2025, cyber police carried out searches at three locations in Hua Hin: 1. A rented apartment in Soi Hua Hin 126, where three suspects were apprehended. These individuals managed the financial transactions for the gambling platform. Officers expanded the search to a second-floor dormitory and arrested another three suspects who worked as customer service administrators, handling inquiries and chat messages. Each was reportedly paid a monthly salary of 12,000 baht. Authorities also seized five computer systems used for website management and customer interactions. 2. A house in Soi Hua Hin 126, belonging to one of the suspects. Though the suspect was not present at the time, police confiscated two computers and multiple bank account books. 3. A property in Soi Chonprathan 15, linked to a suspect arrested in the first raid. The house was found unoccupied. During initial interrogations, the arrested individuals admitted to setting up the illegal gambling operation. They revealed that a key figure in the scheme, identified as Mr. Natthaphon, who remains at large, had recruited them due to his expertise in technology. The group believed that operating from Hua Hin would shield them from law enforcement. The arrested suspects are now facing multiple charges, including: • Operating an unauthorised gambling business by promoting, advertising, or inducing others to participate in online gambling. • Money laundering by conspiring to commit financial crimes. Investigations are ongoing as police work to dismantle these illicit operations nationwide. -- 2025-03-22 -

Volunteer Firefighter Dies While Battling Forest Fire in Phayao
Pictures courtesy of Matichon. A tragic incident has occurred in Phayao province, where a volunteer firefighter lost his life while attempting to control a forest fire in Wiang Lo Wildlife Sanctuary. The incident was reported by Surapong Upakarn, head of the Nam Ngern Watershed Conservation Research Unit, who stated that at 09:00 on 22 March, officials from the unit set out on a patrol to contain wildfires in the Sum Toem–Huai Mae Thai area of Moo 9, Oi subdistrict, Pong district, Phayao. The operation continued until around 14:00 when disaster struck. During the operation, Ekachai Chaimongkol, 33, a resident of Pong district who was assisting government officials, suddenly suffered severe nose and mouth bleeding before collapsing. His colleagues quickly fashioned a stretcher and carried him from the ravine up to Sum Toem, a process that took approximately 30 minutes. A government vehicle then transported him out of the forest, reaching the main road around 15:00. An ambulance from the Ngim Subdistrict Administrative Organisation was dispatched, and he was rushed to Chiang Kham Hospital, arriving at approximately 15:30. Medical personnel confirmed his death shortly after arrival. His body has since been returned to his family home in Ban Mai Nam Ngern, Moo 12, Ngim subdistrict, Pong district, where religious rites are being held. Upon receiving news of the tragedy, Pong District Chief Kriangkrai Fipakphrao visited the victim’s family to express his condolences. He acknowledged the dangers faced by wildfire fighters, especially in steep and smoke-filled terrain, and stressed that every precaution is always taken. “This is a deeply saddening incident. Despite all efforts to ensure safety, the challenges of wildfire suppression can be extreme. We all mourn this loss and hope no one else will have to face such a fate in the line of duty,” Kriangkrai stated. Meanwhile, Phayao Governor Ratthaphon Naraditson has assigned Deputy Governor Phuthana Chomphooming to represent the province in offering condolences and support to the bereaved family. -- 2025-03-22 -

Laem Singh, Chao Lao (Chanthaburi): Simple holiday house/apt for 2 weeks?
Hello, i (living in the west) look for a simple holiday house or holiday apartment in the Chanthaburi beach settlements of - Laem Singh (1st choice) - Chao Lao (2nd choice) NOT Khung Wiman I searched the net for a long time and didn't find anything below 2500 THB/day – too much. You could also PM me your advice. I would like: - about 11 days from Dec 1st and/or Jan 25th for 1 person + car - some privacy, private parking, quiet (no tourist treks past my windows) - no need beach front, but within 1,5 kms of beach - pleasant terrace, garden or balcony (aware of mosquito threat) - not hemmed in by ugliness or noise - decent western bathroom incl hot shower NOT ESSENTIAL: kitchen, aircon, on-site food, housekeeping I happily do speak some Thai, but can't read or write. I could make an arrangement just by phone with a private landlord, but worry about reliability. I understand you travel differently and better. I have been to the places mentioned above before, and to others, and would still like things as described above. Thanks! -
