Accident Elderly Man Killed Instantly After Electric Tricycle Collides with Big Bike in Phrae
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. An 82-year-old man riding an electric tricycle was killed on the spot after being struck by a high-powered motorcycle while crossing a road in Phrae province. The fatal collision occurred at around 13:00 on 31 May, near the irrigation canal bridge intersection in Moo 9, Mueang Mo Subdistrict, close to Ban Kwao, Moo 5, Kanchana Subdistrict, Mueang Phrae District. Police Lieutenant Colonel Sriprai Satchanaranpan, deputy inspector at Mueang Phrae Police Station, responded to the emergency call. Accompanied by local patrol officer Pol. Sub-Lt. Pokpong Sinmanee and rescue personnel from Phrae Rescue Foundation, they arrived at the scene to find a blue electric tricycle badly damaged beneath a roadside guardrail. Nearby, the body of Mr. Manit 82, a former village headman of Nong Bo, Moo 4, Kanchana Subdistrict, was discovered. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Approximately five metres from the tricycle, police found a damaged Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. The rider, a young man identified only as Mr. Bank from Mueang Mo, sustained minor injuries. He told police he was returning to his shop after lunch when the electric vehicle suddenly crossed into his path, leaving him no time to avoid the collision. Investigators have recorded the scene and are proceeding with the legal process. Residents who witnessed the aftermath expressed growing concern over the increasing number of elderly individuals riding electric motorcycles and tricycles, many of whom lack experience or sufficient reflexes.

Crime Chinese Man Shot by Compatriot Near Pattaya, Gunman in Custody
UPDATE Chinese Man Admits to Shooting Countryman in Pattaya Over Debt Dispute Picture courtesy of SiamChon. Further developments have emerged in the case of Mr. Qiyang Song, 26, a Chinese national who was injured after being shot in the leg by fellow Chinese citizen Mr. Ju Bin, 32. The shooting, which took place at a private residence in Pattaya, has shocked the local community, particularly as police uncovered a significant cache of drugs in a vehicle connected to the group. Authorities confirmed this afternoon that a Chinese-language interpreter was brought in to assist in the detailed interrogation of Mr. Ju Bin. The session lasted over an hour and led to significant revelations. Forensic police also conducted gunshot residue (GSR) tests, which confirmed Mr. Ju Bin had discharged a firearm. Mr. Ju Bin confessed to firing the weapon, admitting he was responsible for the shot that struck Mr. Qiyang Song in the right ankle. However, he claimed the shooting was unintentional, explaining that it was meant to be a warning shot fired into the ground. According to his statement, Mr. Qiyang Song allegedly owed him 500,000 baht and had not only failed to repay the debt but had returned to demand more money. Tensions escalated during the morning when Mr. Qiyang Song visited the rented house on Soi Khao Makok 9. Mr. Ju Bin and two other Chinese nationals, one man and one woman, had been renting the property. Mr. Qiyang Song was known to visit frequently. The incident reportedly intensified when Mr. Wang Zhi Jie, 26, also a Chinese national, attempted to park the blue Mercedes-Benz GLA inside the property. Mr. Qiyang Song allegedly obstructed the gate by jumping in front of it, provoking Mr. Ju Bin, who warned him to leave. Claiming he did not want Mr. Qiyang Song to enter the house, Mr. Ju Bin stated he retrieved a firearm and fired a single shot from inside the residence. He maintained that the shot was not aimed directly at the victim but ricocheted, inadvertently striking Mr. Song in the leg. The 3 Chinese nationals at the house were taken in for questioning. 1. Mr. Ju Bin, 32 – the gunman 2. Mr. Wang Zhi Jie, 26 3. Ms. Zhang Junhan, 24 Police confirm that, during initial questioning, the group has remained evasive and inconsistent in their accounts, particularly regarding the significant quantity of illegal drugs found at the scene. None have admitted involvement in drug offences, and investigations are ongoing to determine ownership and the extent of any criminal network. It has also come to light that all three individuals were residing in Thailand on expired visas and are therefore now also being dealt with for immigration offences related to overstay. In addition, police are reviewing the travel history of the suspects and collaborating with immigration and relevant national security agencies to assess whether the group may be part of a wider criminal operation. Police are in the process of compiling evidence and expect to formally charge Mr. Ju Bin with attempted murder and firearms offences under Thailand’s Firearms Act. Drug-related charges will be determined pending further forensic analysis and investigation. It has also been revealed that officers from Huay Yai Police Station had previously visited the same property on 23 May 2025, following a report of a disturbance. At that time, no suspects were found, but officers did discover a suspicious motorcycle resembling a police patrol vehicle, a maroon Honda CBR with the label “แจ้งเหตุ 191” (“Report Incident 191”) on the front windscreen. The vehicle did not display standard police registration plates, but a check of the engine number confirmed it to be a former police patrol motorcycle decommissioned from the Royal Thai Police. It remains unclear which station originally owned it. Police have now impounded the motorcycle and are actively investigating how the group came to possess it, as part of broader efforts to uncover the full scope of the group’s activities in Thailand.
