Drunk BMW Driver Arrested in Pattaya for Brandishing Gun at Bystander
Picture courtesy of SiamChon. A 41-year-old man was arrested in Pattaya after allegedly brandishing a firearm and threatening a motorcyclist while heavily intoxicated. The suspect, identified only as “Big”, was driving a BMW sedan when he confronted the victim on Pattaya Third Road. According to Pattaya City Police, officers received a distress call at 04:35 on 29 March, from a resident who reported being threatened with a firearm. Pol. Lt. Col. Suwinai Kuibamrung and Pol. Lt. Pan Saran Khrongsit immediately dispatched a team to intercept the suspect. Police tracked down and stopped the suspect’s grey BMW (Bangkok registration) approximately 10 kilometres from the scene. Inside the vehicle, officers found Big and his girlfriend. A search of the car uncovered a loaded 9mm Sig Sauer P938 handgun, with five rounds of ammunition, hidden beside the driver’s seat. The victim, identified as Mr. Top, 35, had already filed a police report. He stated that while riding his motorcycle on Pattaya Third Road, the BMW driver pulled up alongside him and started provoking him aggressively, despite the two having no prior conflict. Moments later, he heard the sound of a gun being loaded, prompting him to flee and call the police. When questioned, Big was heavily intoxicated and incoherent, denying the accusations and insisting he would only testify in court. He admitted to owning the firearm, stating that it was legally registered. A breathalyser test confirmed that Big’s blood alcohol level was at a staggering high level, far exceeding the legal limit. Police have charged him with firearm-related offences and drink-driving, and he has been handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings. -- 2025-03-30 -

Mother and Autistic Son Rescued as Car Rolls into Canal
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A mother and her autistic son narrowly escaped drowning after their car rolled into a canal in Khlong Ha, Pathum Thani, while she was closing the gate of their home. A bystander jumped into the water and smashed the car window to pull them out just before the vehicle was completely submerged. The incident occurred at 11:30 on 29 March, near Wat Sawaeng, along the Khlong Ha canal road. Traffic police from Khlong Ha Police Station, local rescue teams, and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation rushed to the scene. At the site, bystanders found the bronze Toyota Yaris, registered in Bangkok, already sinking. A man had jumped into the canal and managed to break the car’s window to rescue the woman and her child. The boy had swallowed some water and was immediately taken to Bangpakok 2 Rangsit Hospital for medical attention. According to local headwoman Ms. Srinuan Thipapongphaka, the driver, identified as Mrs. Apirak, had parked outside her home and stepped out to close the gate. However, she had forgotten to engage the handbrake, causing the car to roll into the canal with her son still inside. She was also trapped as she jumped back into the car to help him, but the weight of water forced the door shut. Witnesses reported that the heroic rescuer, who was on the opposite side of the canal, saw the car sinking and rushed over to help. He suffered minor glass cuts on his arm while breaking the window. Police coordinated with a tow truck to retrieve the vehicle, while the car insurance provider was informed to handle the damages. Authorities praised the quick-thinking passerby for his bravery in saving two lives. -- 2025-03-30 -

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
That's 6 that were declared unsafe to live in within hours of it before any detailed checks. There's extensive damage to the many other high rises. It might just be superficial but it's very likley more will be condemed. Bankgkok is built on soft clay and corruption is rife - some that are now unsafe were only finished very recently. No one will be buying these condos for a while, will impact many jobs. The UK cladding issue on condos is so minor compared to this and has caused so many problems for the last 5+ years.
