Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 73-year-old woman was fatally struck by a speeding pickup truck while attempting to cross a main road in Khok Samrong district, Lopburi province. The driver claimed he was unable to stop in time as the woman suddenly stepped into the road. Police Captain Phusit Muangmoo, investigating officer at Khok Samrong Police Station, was notified of the incident at approximately 17:30. The accident occurred along Phahonyothin Road between kilometre markers 183 and 184 in Wang Khon Khwang Subdistrict. Emergency responders arrived to find the victim, identified as Mrs. Supin Chantrat, lying in the road with severe injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was transported to Khok Samrong Hospital for examination. Relatives at the scene were inconsolable as they gathered around the site of the collision. Nearby, police discovered a green Ford Ranger pickup truck, registration number from Bangkok, with visible front-end damage and bloodstains. The driver, Mr. Narongdet, 48, told police he had been driving from Lopburi towards Khok Samrong when the incident occurred. He explained that he saw the elderly woman apparently waiting at the roadside to allow the car in front of him to pass. Assuming she would remain stationary, he continued at speed. However, she began crossing just as his vehicle approached. “It happened so fast. She stepped out suddenly. I didn’t have time to brake or swerve,” he said. Mr. Narongdet did not flee the scene and waited to surrender himself to authorities. Police recorded the scene and took the driver into custody for further questioning. Legal proceedings are now underway. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-24 -

Damn! I used to do border runs at that crossing. There were a LOT of locals of both nations going back and forth doing business. This will hurt those who can least afford it. -

Crime Norwegian Man Arrested at Surat Thani Bus Terminal After Attempted Crossbow Attack
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A Norwegian man has been arrested at the main bus terminal in Surat Thani after allegedly attempting to murder a fellow national with a crossbow in an incident that took place on the island of Koh Samui. The suspect, identified as Mr Elmer, was taken into custody by officers from Surat Thani City Police while trying to flee the province by minivan. His arrest followed the issue of an arrest warrant by Koh Samui Provincial Court (Warrant No. 185/2568, dated 23 June 2025) on charges of attempted murder. The incident occurred on 19 June at a private residence in Koh Samui. According to police, Ms Pia, a Norwegian national and the intended victim, was inside the home along with another man, identified only as Mr Simon and she was watching a film on the living room sofa. Mr Elmer, meanwhile, was in his bedroom, reportedly heavily intoxicated from alcohol. Suddenly, Mr Elmer emerged from his room in a state of rage and began shouting incoherently. He confronted Ms Pia and a heated argument ensued. Fearing for her safety due to his aggressive behaviour, Ms Pia attempted to call the police. As she dialled the emergency number 191, Elmer briefly returned to his room. Moments later, he reappeared wielding a crossbow fitted with a laser sight and aimed it directly at Ms Pia’s head. As she was on the phone with the police, Elmer fired. The bolt struck her mobile phone, which she was holding to her ear, destroying it but sparing her life. Mr Simon tried to intervene but was unable to stop the attack. Following the incident, Elmer fled the scene. A manhunt ensued, leading to his arrest four days later, on 23 June, at the Surat Thani Bus Terminal as he attempted to board transport out of the province. The authorities have praised the swift action of investigating officers, noting that had the phone not absorbed the crossbow bolt, the consequences could have been fatal. Elmer is currently being held in custody and is expected to face prosecution. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-24
