Crime Elderly Man Falls to Death from Sugar Palm Tree — Third Similar Family Fatality
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 74-year-old man fell to his death from a sugar palm tree in Prachantakham district, Prachinburi province, in an incident that echoes two previous fatalities within the same family over the past three decades. Police were called to the scene in Khok Tan grove, Village No. 12, Pho Ngam subdistrict, after the man’s body was discovered beneath a tall palm tree, estimated to be over 15 metres high. Forensic medics from Prachantakham Hospital, along with rescue volunteers, confirmed that the man had died from a broken neck. He had reportedly been dead for more than four hours by the time authorities arrived. The victim, a local resident, was found lying on his back with blood coming from his mouth and nose. There were no signs of foul play or physical struggle. Devastated family members and neighbours gathered at the site in mourning. According to his 72-year-old wife, her husband had earlier driven her to Prachantakham market to sell sugar palm juice and mangoes. After finishing her errands, she tried to contact him for a lift home but received no response. Concerned, she called their son to pick her up instead. Upon arriving home, she noticed that all the vehicles were parked, but the man was nowhere to be found. Seeing that the palm-cutting knife was missing and ropes were still hanging from the palm trees, she feared the worst. Her suspicions were confirmed when she found his body beneath one of the trees, with a broken palm frond nearby, suggesting he may have slipped while reaching for a frond. “In our family, this has happened before,” she said. “His father died in a similar incident 30 years ago, and two years ago, his cousin, Phuyaikao, also fell to his death from a palm tree.” The family has long been involved in traditional sugar palm harvesting, producing fresh sugar juice and palm sugar as their primary livelihood. Their work has supported the education of their three children through to university and vocational qualifications. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25. -

Crime Thai Woman Arrested at Suvarnabhumi Over Money Laundering & Online Gambling Network Links
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 34-year-old Thai woman was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport upon returning to the country, following a warrant issued in connection with a major online gambling and money laundering network. Police Lieutenant General Cherngron Rimpadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, revealed that the arrest was made as part of a broader directive from Police Lieutenant General Phanumart Boonlakham, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, to strengthen scrutiny of individuals with outstanding arrest warrants entering or leaving Thailand. On the afternoon of 24 May, officers from the Immigration Bureau’s Investigation and Suppression Division (Division 2), in coordination with the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) and the immigration checkpoint at Suvarnabhumi Airport, apprehended Ms. Chatupapha aged 34, as she arrived on Thai Airways flight TG551 from Ho Chi Minh City. She was wanted under Criminal Court warrant no. 1101/2566, dated 10 April 2023, on multiple serious charges, including “organising illegal online gambling, conspiracy to commit money laundering and participating in money laundering activities.” Ms. Chatupapha is alleged to be part of a criminal syndicate operating illegal online gambling platforms between 2016 and 2017. Well-known sites such as SBOBET, IBCBET, FIFA55, and AMBBET were reportedly used in the operation. Investigators also discovered financial evidence linking her to suspicious transfers of funds, including a transaction of 1.5 million baht received from so-called “mule accounts” connected to the gambling network. Following her arrest, Ms. Chatupapha was taken to the Immigration Division’s operations centre before being handed over to officers from the Crime Suppression Division’s Division 3 for legal proceedings. Authorities continue to investigate the wider network and further arrests are expected as the probe progresses. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-25. -

Crime Drunken Jealousy Turns Deadly as Vegetable Vendor Fatally Stabbed in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 38-year-old Laotian vegetable vendor was fatally stabbed in the chest with a pair of scissors by a jealous, intoxicated man in a community near Bang Khen, northern Bangkok, on 23 May. The attack occurred at approximately 17:30, in Soi Prasert Manukit 3, within the Ban Mankhong community behind the Army Science Department, alongside the Bang Bua canal. Emergency services rushed to the scene, where they discovered the victim, Mr. Uthai, also known as Ton, lying in a pool of blood. He had sustained a single fatal stab wound to the left side of his chest. The suspect, identified as Mr. Peerapol or “Bank” aged 30, initially fled the scene but was later apprehended by police after being located hiding in nearby undergrowth. Officers from Bang Khen Police Station, led by Superintendent Pol. Col. Anan Warasat, were able to pressure the suspect into surrendering. Bank later confessed to the crime, telling investigators that he acted out of jealousy, believing the victim had been speaking too frequently with his partner. According to Ms. Lek, 51, the suspect’s partner, Bank would often become aggressive and paranoid when intoxicated. “He’s usually a kind and loving person when sober, but when drunk he becomes volatile, destructive, and overly sensitive,” she said. She recalled that the victim had earlier sold her two packets of dried chilli before driving away, only for Bank to call him back under false pretences and launch a sudden, fatal attack. Ms. Tong, 34, the victim’s wife, told reporters that she and her husband had recently reunited after a period of living apart due to work. The couple had only been back together for a month and were planning to take their child on a trip. She rushed to the scene upon hearing the news and witnessed attempts to resuscitate her husband, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A local resident, known only as Ms. A, said the suspect had a reputation for aggressive behaviour when drunk, frequently causing disturbances and even assaulting his former partners. “The victim was well-liked, a peaceful man who never caused trouble,” she added. “No one ever saw him argue with Bank.” Police confirmed that Mr. Bank has been charged with causing bodily harm resulting in death. Further psychiatric evaluation is expected to be conducted, with a psychologist scheduled to assist in the ongoing investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-25.
