Officers from The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have apprehended a man accused of firing seven gunshots during a heated confrontation at a house party in Tha Tako District, Nakon Sawan. The arrest was made at the car park of Big C supermarket in Tha Tako following a coordinated stakeout by the Special Operations Division (SOD), under the CIB.

 

The suspect, identified as Mr. Siwaphan faces multiple charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause and unlawful discharge of a firearm in a community area.

 

The incident occurred at a private residence in Moo 5, Wang Yai Subdistrict, near a local temple. According to investigators, the suspect had been drinking with a group of 5–6 friends at the house, which belonged to a friend of his girlfriend, when a group of men from another village arrived. The group, reportedly friends of the suspect’s girlfriend, intended to settle a personal dispute with him.

 

The situation quickly escalated into a heated argument, during which one of the men allegedly attempted to ram the suspect with a car twice. In response, the suspect drew a revolver and fired seven rounds in their direction. Fortunately, no one was injured. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting, later disposing of the firearm in a nearby river in an effort to destroy evidence.

 

The victims filed a complaint with police at Tha Tako Police Station. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, and investigators from the SOD traced the suspect’s whereabouts to the Big C parking area in Tha Tako. He was taken into custody without resistance and handed over to local police for further legal proceedings.

 

Authorities confirmed that legal action against the suspect is now underway and reaffirmed their commitment to swiftly pursuing violent offenders who pose a threat to public safety.

      Epstein Coverup Continues

      That might be wishful thinking, but hundreds of millions would welcome it. I forgot to mention that Margery Taylor Greene is also outraged and being outspoken about it too. All the biggest Trump apologists and MAGA anchors, the ones onboard since day one, are all not happy. And it's only going to get worse if he puts out some bogus files.

      Trump Fires Maurene Comey, Epstein's Prosecutor

      I don't think Maurene herself should be considered an anonymous source. https://apnews.com/article/trump-comey-epstein-justice-department-sean-combs-6a75266874bb7723ac83a9b548b7d257 WASHINGTON (AP) — Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey who as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein, said in a note to colleagues that “fear is the tool of a tyrant” and that her firing without reason should fuel “a fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power.” “If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain,” Comey said in the note, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday. “Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.” “Instead of fear,” she added, “let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place. A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else.” And neither is Leavitt. Back to the Kremlin you Russian stooge. Asked about the firing Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “This was a decision made by the Department of Justice.”

      Russian Teen Nabbed in Midnight Pattaya Graffiti Plot

      Picture courtesy of THe Pattaya News Pattaya pier vandalism crackdown as officials demand cleanup from youth and guardians A 16-year-old Russian boy, Dobrynia, was caught spray-painting on Pattaya’s Bali Hai Pier Overpass during the early hours of July 17. Pattaya City’s Special Affairs Unit intervened just in time, halting the teenager's act of vandalism. The officers confiscated six cans of spray paint and a Yamaha Aerox motorbike, reportedly used by the teen to reach the scene. Local authorities expressed outrage, emphasising a strict approach despite the teen's age. “This is not artistic expression, it’s destruction of public property!” stated Pattaya City. They warned that anyone considering similar offences would face firm legal action. Dobrynia is set to face penalties under the Cleanliness and Orderliness Act, potentially facing a fine of up to 10,000 baht (approximately 282 USD). Authorities have mandated that both the boy and his guardians must clean up the graffiti themselves to emphasise the importance of civic responsibility. Pattaya is adamant in its mission to maintain its status as Thailand’s premier tourist destination. “We won’t tolerate actions that damage public spaces. These locations are not just landmarks—they’re symbols of our city,” a spokesperson explained. The police are investigating whether Dobrynia acted alone, while efforts to restore the pier are underway. The stringent measures reinforce the city's zero-tolerance approach by sending a clear message that vandalism will not be tolerated. Meanwhile, a related incident involved the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) pursuing legal action against a Japanese tourist for a similar train vandalism case in Bangkok. On July 13, the tourist allegedly spray-painted the express train number 171 operating between Bangkok and Sungai Kolok. The situation underscores a wider effort to crack down on vandalism in public areas, reaffirming the stance that the defacement of public property will lead to serious consequences. These actions underscore Thailand's broader commitment to upholding its reputation and ensuring the respect and maintenance of its public spaces for everyone's enjoyment. With continuing efforts to address and prevent such incidents, the authorities aim to preserve the nation’s image and public assets. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-18

      India Orders Urgent Boeing Fuel Switch Checks After Deadly Crash

      Glad you spent your time fruitfully, no need to be sorry 1. Did the software have a known bug? US aviation expert Mary Schiavo refers to a similar Boeing 787 incident involving All Nippon Airways in 2019, where both engines failed due to a software glitch — the aircraft's system falsely believed it was on the ground and cut fuel accordingly. The Japanese airline could fortunately be towed whilst Air India had no chance- no altitude or time to recover. 2. Poor cockpit design Even if one of the pilots operated the switch mid-take off, it may not have been deliberate. The stabilizer control switches — which the crew reported issues with earlier — are located next to the fuel cut-off switches. In the chaos of a stabilizer failure, a pilot could reach for one switch and hit the other. 3. Regulators were warned yet no inspections Less than a month before the crash, the UK Civil Aviation Authority issued a warning over fuel shutoff valve issues on Boeing aircraft, including the 787. The fuel control system had shown signs of potential failure across multiple models, however Air India didn't check the locking mechanism of the AI171’s fuel switch because a 2018 FAA advisory about the component was only that -advisory, not compulsory.
