Crime Newborn Baby Found Burned in Charcoal Kiln in Khon Kaen
Pictures courtesy of Workpoint. Police are investigating a shocking case after a newborn baby was discovered burned in a charcoal kiln in a sugarcane field in Ban Hin Hao, Non Khong Subdistrict, Ban Fang District, Khon Kaen Province. The infant, whose gender and identity remain unknown, was found by local residents who noticed a strange burning smell while working in the fields. Authorities discovered the baby inside the kiln, still attached to the umbilical cord. Police Lieutenant Colonel Natthawat Kaewhan, Deputy Investigating Officer at Ban Fang Police Station, confirmed that initial examination revealed the child was a newborn, though the lower body was badly burned, preventing identification of sex. The kiln is situated on private farmland in Village 4, Non Khong Subdistrict. Ban Fang Police Chief, Pol. Col. Koraphop Netthaisong, stated that medical staff from Ban Fang Hospital and forensic investigators from Forensic Science Centre 4 in Khon Kaen were called to the scene to conduct a thorough examination. The body has since been sent to Srinagarind Hospital’s Department of Forensic Medicine to determine whether the baby had died prior to being burned. Police are currently investigating all potential leads, including identifying women in the area who may have recently given birth. Local workers and witnesses are being questioned as part of the ongoing investigation, with authorities vowing to bring those responsible to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-08-18 -

Report Thais Lose Faith in Political Parties as Hope Fades, Poll Shows
Poll Finds Thais Losing Faith in Political Parties, MPs Picture courtesy of Thai PBS A recent poll conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration has shocked Thailand by revealing that over 40% of respondents have completely lost faith in political parties. Meanwhile, half of those surveyed have vowed not to re-elect their current constituency MPs. The poll, conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration, shines a stark light on the Thai public's disenchantment with their political leaders. When asked about political parties represented in parliament, from both the government and opposition, a staggering 41.9% confessed to feeling utterly despondent. A further 34% described themselves as rather hopeless, while just 20.9% managed to cling to some semblance of optimism, and a mere 2.98% felt very hopeful. Intriguingly, the party-list voting intentions also reveal a shift. Faced with the prospect of voting for the same party in a proportional representation system as they did in the 2023 election, 40% outright rejected the idea. In contrast, 29% were willing to support the same party again, while 26.9% remained undecided. A small fraction, 3%, admitted they either abstained from voting or did not cast a ballot in the last election. This sweeping survey was carried out on August 13th and 14th, capturing the views of 1,310 respondents across the country. The focus was to gauge public sentiment on the performance of MPs and the efficacy of political parties in addressing national issues. When it comes to satisfaction with constituency MPs, the results are equally dispiriting. An overwhelming 32% declared themselves not very satisfied, while 28% were not satisfied at all. A modest 27% expressed fair satisfaction, and only 11.6% claimed to be very satisfied. The response to the question of whether citizens would support their current MPs in an election today is perhaps the most telling. A significant 50.69% said they would not, with just 23.7% affirming their support for a re-election and 25.5% remaining on the fence. These numbers depict a nation struggling with a crisis of confidence in its political class. As faith dwindles, the implications for upcoming elections and the future political landscape remain uncertain. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-08-18 -

Crime Border Patrol Police Fire Shots to Stop Human Smuggling Convoy
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Border patrol officers opened fire on the tyres of two fleeing vehicles in a dramatic pursuit that ended with the arrest of 19 people suspected of involvement in human smuggling. The incident occurred on 16 August, after intelligence indicated that a trafficking network was transporting migrant workers through southern Thailand. The operation was ordered by senior commanders, including Pol Lt Gen Nitinai Lhangyanai, commander of the Border Patrol Police Bureau, and Pol Maj Gen Narong Thanlanantakul, commander of the 4th Region Border Patrol. Pol Col Pimnarat Thammatip, head of Border Patrol Police Subdivision 42, deployed his team along Highway 41 in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Officers spotted a white pick-up truck and a white Volvo car travelling at high speed. When ordered to stop for inspection, the drivers accelerated, prompting police to give chase. The pursuit ended in Rattaphum district, Songkhla province, when officers fired at the vehicles’ tyres, forcing them to a halt. Inside the Volvo, police found four suspects, three Thais and one Myanmar national. The pick-up truck contained 15 Myanmar migrants. In total, 19 people were detained. Investigations revealed the group had travelled from Kui Buri district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province and were bound for Songkhla, intending to cross into Malaysia. Thai suspects face charges of assisting illegal migrants under Section 64 of the Immigration Act, while the Myanmar nationals were charged with illegal entry and remaining in the country in violation of Section 81 of the same Act. All detainees have been handed over for legal proceedings. Authorities say the crackdown reflects heightened efforts to combat trafficking and illegal migration across Thailand’s southern border.
