Rubber Plantation Worker Surrenders After Shooting Employer Over Wage Dispute
Picture of arrest. A rubber plantation worker in Chiang Rai has surrendered to police after shooting his employer, citing unfair wages as the motive. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mr Chatchawan turned himself in through a local leader after pressure from police. The incident occurred at around 20:00 on 20 March at a house in Pong subdistrict, Thoeng district, Chiang Rai. Authorities, led by Police Colonel Jetsada Juthopama of Thoeng Police Station, took the suspect into custody and conducted a crime scene investigation. Bullet fragments were found near the entrance, with three bullet holes visible on the wall close to the doorframe. Bloodstains were also discovered on the floor near a wardrobe inside the house. Mr Chatchawan stated that he had been working as a rubber tapper, earning 300 baht per day, which included tasks such as acid application and rubber collection. He claimed this wage was unfair and that his employer owed him 1,500 baht. His proposal to sell the rubber and split the earnings was rejected. Additionally, he alleged that his employer had previously threatened him with a firearm. On the night of the incident, he confronted his employer, asking, “Why are you taking advantage of me?” He then fired a homemade sawn-off shotgun once, unsure of where the shot landed. He argued that if he had not fired first, his employer, who allegedly owned several firearms, would have shot him instead. After the shooting, Mr Chatchawan fled, abandoned his motorbike at a relative’s house, and hid near Jam Tong Reservoir. However, with mounting police presence and search, he decided to surrender. “I did not intend to kill him. If I had, he wouldn’t be alive. I regret my actions and want to apologise,” he said. Following his confession, police took the suspect to retrieve his abandoned motorcycle and the firearm, which had been thrown into the reservoir. The victim was taken to Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition. -- 2025-03-22 -

Rescue Team Save Kitten Trapped in Well for Four Days
Picture from responders A rescue team in Ubon Ratchathani has successfully saved a stranded kitten after it fell into an abandoned 11-metre-deep well, surviving without food or water for four days. The rescue was met with widespread admiration. On 20 March, members of the Sawang Buchatham Rescue Unit and instructors from the Jack Fire Rescue Training Service were called to the scene behind the Sadawaan Group office on Warin Chamrap-Kantrarom Road, Warin Chamrap District. Using rope rescue equipment, the team assessed the situation was safe, before making their descent. The well, long disused, contained a smaller secondary pit at the bottom. A weak but still vocal female kitten with brown-and-black fur was found clinging to the lower ledge, meowing for help. Fire and rescue trainer Nakharin Songsopa confirmed that no toxic gases were present before descending down and safely retrieving the kitten. Suphawat Kamman, 53, a staff member at the Sadawaan Group, revealed that the kitten, named Nang Suea, was a stray that had been living around the office for the past couple of months. She had been cared for by staff and was often seen alongside a male cat named Panda, who sadly passed away the previous week. “Nang Suea used to sleep near Panda’s grave, which is close to the well,” Suphawat explained. “A few days after he died, she disappeared. We heard her cries from Sunday but couldn’t find her. Today, my daughter traced the sound and discovered her at the bottom of the well, so we called the rescue team for help.” Fortunately, the well contained no harmful gases, allowing the kitten to survive for four days. Suphawat expressed gratitude to the rescue team, saying, “I’m so thankful that everyone saw the value of this little life. Even though she’s just a stray kitten, she deserves to be saved.” -- 2025-03-22 -
