Community Woman Found Dead, Husband Starving Inside Home
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. In a heartbreaking discovery, a woman was found dead outside her home while her elderly, bedridden husband remained inside unaware, having gone without food or water for two days. Police from Rong Kwang Police Station, Phrae, were alerted to the incident at 10:40 on 5 August after local village headman Mr Morakot Kabbua of Thung Si Subdistrict received a report of an unexplained death at a residence along the Phrae–Rong Kwang road. Officers, along with rescue workers from the Phetkasem Foundation and district officials, arrived at the scene in Moo 5, Thung Si. There, they found the body of Mrs Wasana Rueanngam, 68, known affectionately in the village as “Auntie Nim”, lying lifeless near the front doorway of the home. The area was overgrown with weeds and a wooden bed stood nearby. On it was a half-finished bottle of homemade rice whisky. No signs of struggle or foul play were found. Inside the house, police discovered Mr Somboon 70, the deceased woman’s husband, in a frail and emaciated condition. He is severely disabled and unable to move without assistance. Unaware that his wife had died outside, he had been left alone without food or care for more than 48 hours. Shocked neighbours rushed to provide him with food and water. According to Mrs Dao Miwanpia 56, a neighbour, villagers had visited the house that morning intending to donate money to the couple. The funds were surplus from a funeral recently held in the village and locals wanted to offer support to Mr Somboon, who is known to be impoverished and entirely dependent on his wife. When no one responded to calls at the door, villagers entered and were horrified to find Mrs Wasana’s body outside the rear of the property. They immediately alerted community leaders and contacted police. Initial investigations suggest the cause of death may be related to chronic health conditions. Mrs Wasana was known to be a frequent drinker and the whisky bottle found nearby points to possible alcohol-related complications. It is believed she collapsed suddenly while outside and was unable to call for help. The couple’s only son reportedly died some years ago, and villagers had since taken it upon themselves to help in small ways, delivering food after community events and offering support when possible. Mr Somboon has now been taken into care and local officials have pledged to ensure he receives proper assistance going forward. Adapted by Asean Now from ThaiRath 2025-08-06 -

Crime Clash at Rubber Plantation Over Land Invasion
Picture courtesy of SiamNews. A violent confrontation broke out in a rubber plantation in Nakhon Si Thammarat on 4 August, leaving more than 30 people injured after over 800 local residents and government officials clashed with around 300 individuals accused of encroaching on state-managed farmland. The conflict took place in Moo 7, Krung Yan Subdistrict, Thung Yai District, within a 4,000-rai rubber plantation overseen by the Rubber Authority of Thailand (RAOT). The altercation erupted after officials and locals attempted to remove the intruders, who were said to be from outside the area and illegally occupying land beyond their designated rights. According to reports, the confrontation began when RAOT officials, accompanied by a large group of villagers, moved in to clear the land of the unauthorised settlers. Attempts to negotiate a peaceful exit were rebuffed, with the group allegedly shouting at and hurling wooden sticks and debris at officials and locals. The situation escalated into a chaotic melee involving clubs, machetes, iron rods and slingshots. Emergency services, including local rescue teams and medical units from nearby provinces, rushed to the scene and transported the injured to Thung Yai Hospital. Following the intervention of police and administrative officers, the situation was brought under control. The intruders were successfully expelled from the area and security forces remain stationed at the site to prevent further incidents. Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is underway to identify the ringleaders behind the land encroachment and to determine whether legal action will be taken against those involved in the violence.
