Crime Violent Hotel Car Park Abduction in Trat Was Family Dispute, Say Police
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A shocking incident in a hotel car park in Trat, which initially appeared to be a violent abduction, has now been revealed to be a family dispute, according to police. On the evening of 1 June, a woman was seen on CCTV being violently assaulted by a man and then dragged into a white van in full view of hotel staff and security cameras. The footage, which quickly circulated on social media, sparked serious concerns about the woman’s safety, prompting an urgent police investigation. Initial reports described how a black Mitsubishi saloon car, with Nonthaburi registration, was blocked by a white enclosed van. The woman driver attempted to flee, but was pursued and forcibly taken away. Her vehicle was later found abandoned and towed for forensic examination. The dramatic footage led to fears of a potential kidnapping. However, police confirmed on 2 June that both the man and woman involved later presented themselves voluntarily to Mueang Trat Police Station. The man, identified only as Mr A, 32, told investigators and reporters that the woman, Ms B, 40, was in fact his cousin. He explained that emotions boiled over when he discovered that Ms B had withheld information about his mother’s critical illness. According to Mr A, he is part of a likay traditional theatre troupe currently performing in Trat. Earlier in the day, he received a phone call from a relative informing him that his mother was in the final stages of cancer. He claimed the family had asked his sister to pass the message through Ms B in advance, but when she said nothing during their time together, he lost control. Ms B reportedly tried to drive away from the scene, but Mr A pursued her in the troupe’s van, confronting her in the hotel car park. The situation quickly escalated into a physical assault and forced removal. Following the incident, both parties met with police to give statements and have since “reconciled”, according to officers. The case, while now deemed to be a domestic matter, has raised questions about public safety, appropriate conflict resolution and the use of violence even within familial disputes. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether charges will be filed, but emphasised that violent behaviour, regardless of motive or relationship, remains a serious offence under the law.

Community Drama in Ranong: Missing Boy Feared Drowned Found Hiding in Grass After Four Hours
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. What began as a dramatic search-and-rescue operation ended in relief and astonishment when a 13-year-old boy, believed to have drowned, was discovered hiding in a patch of tall grass near his home. The boy, the son of a Myanmar rubber plantation worker, was reported missing after he had gone fishing alone near the Haad Som Paen Reservoir in Ranong Province. His disappearance sparked immediate concern, prompting the Ranong Rescue Foundation to dispatch a team of volunteers and divers to search the area. Rescue teams, equipped with lighting and generators, joined local residents to search the reservoir, focusing on the last area where the boy had been seen. Witnesses reported murky water as deep as two to three metres, and divers prepared to search beneath the surface. However, just before the divers entered the water, the search took an unexpected turn. The boy was found lying quietly in a dense patch of grass near a drainage ditch in front of a workers’ house, just metres from the original search area. It is believed he had been hiding for nearly four hours, paralysed by fear of punishment from his mother. The emotional reunion saw the boy suffer convulsions, likely due to stress and fear. His mother embraced and comforted him before calling for emergency medical assistance. Rescue volunteers transported him to Ranong Hospital, where an ambulance was waiting to provide further care. Mr Chamnong, 60, the owner of the rubber plantation and employer of the boy’s family, recounted how earlier that evening the boy’s younger sister had informed the parents that her brother was hiding in the grass, but her claims were dismissed when he did not respond to their calls. “I didn’t believe he had drowned,” Mr Chamnong said. “I knew he could swim. When I came to check the water system and walked near the grass, I saw him lying silently. He must have been too scared to come out after seeing so many people searching.” Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-06-03. -
