War Weapons Seized: Four Men Arrested in Phang Nga for Possessing AK-47s

This operation has sent shockwaves across the nation, highlighting ongoing security concerns in the region. The arrests were conducted by local law enforcement on the Phang Nga-Thap Put road, where the suspects—identified as Mr. Zulaffal, 28, from Narathiwat, Mr. Saowarus, 27, and Mr. Abdul Romar, 49, both from Pattani, along with Mr. Faisal, 28, from Yala—were intercepted at a police checkpoint while travelling in a pickup truck and a sedan. The group’s suspicious demeanour prompted officers to conduct a thorough search of their vehicles, leading to the disturbing discovery of the firearms. The confiscated weapons, AK-47 assault rifles featuring a 369mm barrel length, and nine loaded magazines containing 54 bullets of 7.62mm calibre, were cleverly concealed in a white sack behind the rear passenger seat of the pickup truck. One of the suspects has been linked to groups involved in the southern border unrest, raising alarms about their potential involvement in broader criminal networks. Authorities revealed that the suspects confessed their intention to deliver the arms to Phuket after receiving them from Hat Yai district in Songkhla province. They were allegedly promised a payment of 70,000 Thai Baht for the job, with the instructions to drop the weapons off at an unspecified location in Phang Nga—a plan thwarted by their arrest. In collaboration, Police Regions 8 and 9 have launched a deeper investigation into the case. They aim to uncover any connections the group may have with southern insurgency activities or other criminal undertakings. Additionally, the seized firearms have been forwarded to the Forensic Science Centre 10 for detailed examination. The centre’s analysis will help determine if the weapons were involved in previous incidents within the troubled southern border areas. This incident underscores the need for heightened vigilance and tighter security measures in the region, amidst continuing efforts to curtail illegal arms trafficking and related violence. As more information emerges, authorities hope to dismantle such networks and increase public safety. The case continues to unfold, with many keenly watching for updates on this alarming development, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2025-03-24 -

Chalerm Ubumrung May Join Censure of PM Paetongtarn
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In a dramatic twist in Thai politics, all eyes are fixed on the potential participation of Pheu Thai MP Pol Capt Chalerm Ubumrung in the upcoming censure debate against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Rumours swirl that Chalerm could ally with the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), General Prawit Wongsuwon, to expose damning allegations against the government. General Prawit is expected to kick off his criticism after opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut begins the session in the House of Representatives. Among the key issues to be tackled are the controversial Alpine temple land, a proposed casino-entertainment complex, and the MoU 44 territorial dispute with Cambodia. Questions may also arise regarding former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's detention in a luxury ward at Police General Hospital—a matter inextricably linked to his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn. While PPRP Secretary-General Paiboon Nititawan hinted at additional undisclosed allegations waiting in the wings, he was tightlipped about specifics. He remarked, “These will be new issues concerning the premier. That’s all I can say at this point." Within this political storm, Pol Capt Chalerm’s potential participation looms large, particularly as he and former Pheu Thai member Wan Ubumrung are noted for their past spat with Thaksin. Chalerm’s known prowess as a debater could add an unpredictable element to the already heated debate. However, Rangsiman Rome, the deputy leader of the opposition People's Party (PP), cautioned that Chalerm’s participation is not guaranteed. “Even if Pol Capt Chalerm had asked to take part, leading figures in PP would need to be consulted first,” he commented. Rome further emphasised that opposition places are not available to government MPs, complicating Chalerm's potential role. While tensions rise, Prime Minister Paetongtarn seems unfazed. She recently hosted a relaxed dinner for coalition parties and shared her thoughts on Instagram, highlighting the camaraderie and support among party leaders. "It was enjoyable and truly a morale booster," she wrote. Meanwhile, Bhumjaithai Party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul expressed confidence in rallying behind Prime Minister Paetongtarn. He noted that although the no-confidence motion targets her specifically, it is effectively a challenge to the entire cabinet. He added, “I believe in Ms Paetongtarn’s competence, despite the pressure of this being her first censure debate.” As the debate kicks off, Thai politics braces for what could be explosive revelations and unprecedented political alliances, with high stakes for all involved, reflecting the ever-volatile landscape of the country's political arena, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-03-24
