Crime Father Shoots Drug-Addicted Son After Violent Outburst
Picture courtesy of Khaosod A 69-year-old man in Chaiyaphum has been arrested after shooting his 34-year-old son following a violent episode at their home in Phu Khiao district, police report. The incident occurred on 23 August at a residence in Moo 11, Nong Khon Thai Subdistrict. The victim, Mr. Uthai, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest. The father, Mr. Pramong, remained at the scene and surrendered to authorities. During initial questioning, Mr. Pramong admitted to shooting his son. Police said the son had a history of drug and alcohol abuse and had frequently threatened family members and damaged property in the home. On the day of the shooting, the son reportedly entered the house aggressively, damaging belongings and attempting to attack his father with a stick. Fearing for his life, the father fired a single shot from a shotgun, striking his son in the chest. Police investigated the scene, collecting gunshot residue and other forensic evidence. Mr. Pramong has been charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without cause and discharging a firearm in a residential area. He is currently in custody pending legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-25 -

UK King Charles sends urgent warning in 80th anniversary address
He's a decent person, but its a different time. His grandmother came to the throne after the sudden death of her father from cancer. We can speculate what cancer Charles has, but likely its the cancer you die with, rather than from. Likely he will ascend the throne in his late 40s, but its a different world from that of Elizabeth. A lot more is known about him than the young Queen. The reason Queen Elizabeth is remembered as an excellent Monarch is because of her steadiness, and her ability to embody the nation. Her son is rather different, but not in a bad way. He is much more opinionated, but that's reflective of the age; we are all now much more opinionated than Elizabeth's time. Its easy to forget how much cap doffing there was in the past. As a result, the Queen was much more neutral with her governments, but that's more reflective of her generation. Charles won't get that much of a chance to interact with different governments. William will, and as a Millenial Monarch, he is bound to be much more opinionated. As a result, he will be naturally more devisive, as not everyone will agree. His father holds strong opinions on the environment, that his sons share, naturally. William has involved himself in Homelessness, Mental Health, Childhood Development and Poverty, and Humanitarianism. He has recently expressed an opinion urging the end to the war in Gaza which was quite contentious, but typical for his generation. In American terms, he is a progressive, and as such, that is less likely to unify the nation. But we don't know what nation there will be when he becomes King. Its highly likely there won't be a United Kingdom. In which case, he will face entirely different challenges to his Grandmother, who came to the throne when the country had just gone through a communal, unifying event. So whatever qualities made her an excellent monarch likely will not apply to William. If he becomes am excellent monarch, it will be due to different, not yet identified qualities. The Queen presided over the end of Empire. At the end of her reign, the Queen was less relevant to that former Empire compared to the start, but her personal qualities ensured a fraternal relationship. William's challenge, if he presides over a disintegrating UK, is whether the emerging nations maintain a fraternal relationship with each other, or will it be more like the Republic of Ireland following independance, where that relationship was riven with suspicion and at time hostility. William's role might well be guiding the monarchy to constitutional irrelevance, so it doesn't matter whether George is an excellent monarch or not. -

Accident Teenager Killed After Motorcycle Crash at Railway Crossing
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 19-year-old man from Chaiyaphum died after his motorcycle went out of control at a railway crossing and slid under a pickup truck, police report. The crash occurred around 16:30 on 23 August at a railway crossing in Moo 7, Khlong Preng Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chachoengsao. Rescue workers and doctors from Phutthasothon Hospital were called to the scene. The victim, identified as Mr. Phatthananon, suffered severe injuries to the back of his head and neck, with tyre marks found around his throat. Locals had tried to help and performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His motorcycle was found some distance from the scene, along with his mobile phone still displaying a GPS application. Witnesses suggest the teenager may have been unfamiliar with the area and may have been looking down at his phone while riding up the incline at the railway crossing. The driver of the grey Toyota Hilux pickup, Mr. Ittirit, 57, told police that the motorcycle lost balance while climbing the slope and slid under his vehicle before he could brake in time. A passenger in the pickup helped residents lift the victim from under the truck in an attempt to save him. Police are investigating the incident and took the driver in for questioning. The body of the victim has been taken to Phutthasothon Hospital and authorities have contacted his family to arrange for funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-25 -
