Crime Man Fatally Shot by Former Friend in Karaoke Bar in Kanchanaburi
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A night out ended in death after a man was gunned down by a former friend at a karaoke bar in Tha Maka district, Kanchanaburi province. The suspect later surrendered to police and admitted to the killing, citing a personal grudge. Police were alerted to the shooting at approximately 04:30 on 22 June. Police Captain Chayut Khunritworachai, an investigator with Tha Maka Police Station, arrived at the scene, a local restaurant and karaoke bar in Moo 1, Tha Maka subdistrict, accompanied by senior officers, forensic specialists and medical staff from Makharak Hospital. Officers discovered the body of a man, later identified as Mr. Anupong, 46, lying face up near the outdoor stage area. He had been shot twice, once in the chest and once in the abdomen, with a .38-calibre revolver. His body was transported to Makharak Hospital before being sent for autopsy at Ratchaburi Forensic Institute. Initial investigations revealed that Mr. Anupong had been enjoying the night with four friends in a VIP karaoke room. During their gathering, Mr. Khongdet, 37, a former friend from the same village, entered the room but did not interact with the group. After the group settled the bill and were leaving, Mr. Khongdet unexpectedly drew a firearm and shot Mr. Anupong before fleeing the scene in a sedan. Friends of the victim attempted to assist and rushed him from the room, but he succumbed to his injuries before reaching hospital. Later that morning, at around 10:30, Mr. Khongdet contacted Provincial Police Commander Pol. Maj. Gen. Pornchai Chalodet to arrange his surrender. He handed himself in to investigators, along with the .38 revolver used in the killing. During questioning, Mr. Khongdet confessed that he and the victim had long-standing personal tensions. He stated that a verbal confrontation occurred at the karaoke bar, which reignited his anger and prompted him to shoot Mr. Anupong in the heat of the moment. He then fled but decided to turn himself in a few hours later. However, police remain cautious and plan to interview all witnesses thoroughly to determine the true motive behind the shooting. Mr. Khongdet is facing multiple charges, including: • Murder • Discharging a firearm in a public place without cause • Possession of an unlicensed firearm • Carrying a firearm in public without permission or valid reason The investigation continues.

Politics New Cabinet Revamp: Pheu Thai Gears Up After Bhumjaithai Exit
In this photo released by Thailand's Government Spokesman Office, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra arrives at Government house in Bangkok, Thailand, Monday, June 23, 2025. (Thailand's Government Spokesman Office via AP) BANGKOK – Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai announced today that the final line-up for the Paetongtarn Cabinet is expected to be finalised this week. Following the Bhumjaithai Party’s withdrawal, eight Cabinet positions remain open, with speculation rife about which portfolios Pheu Thai will seize, notably the influential Interior Ministry. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra met with coalition leaders to discuss the vacant seats, previously held by Bhumjaithai, now likely to be claimed by Pheu Thai. Though Phumtham remained tight-lipped on the specifics, it’s anticipated that Pheu Thai will gain significant ministerial roles. Currently the Defence Minister, Phumtham, neither confirmed nor denied potential reassignment to the Interior Ministry. Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. Picture via ThaiPBS Amid rumours of his possible shift, Phumtham clarified that his presence at the Interior Ministry meeting was solely in his capacity as Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security. He downplayed speculation about Deputy Defence Minister General Natthapon Nakpanich being promoted to his current post. Phumtham criticised Bhumjaithai’s past management of the Interior Ministry for not effectively implementing policies. He expressed confidence that Pheu Thai’s stewardship will advance grassroots economic initiatives, address drug-related issues, and enhance border security. Pheu Thai’s regained control is expected to re-energise key government policies. With objectives firmly focused on execution, the party aims to enhance overall government performance and policy adherence. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-06-24 -
