Community Two Young Boys on Motorbike Sidecar Journey to Find Mother Run Out of Fuel Midway
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. In a touching yet concerning incident, two young boys attempting to travel across Thailand in search of a missing mother were rescued by authorities after their motorbike ran out of fuel. Late on the night of 30 June, police officers from Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima Police Station, along with volunteers from Sawang Metta Korat Rescue Foundation, responded to a call about two lost boys stranded near a U-turn in front of a gas station in Ban Don Khwang, Hua Thale subdistrict, Mueang district. The boys were identified as “Ton”, aged 9, and “Pluem”, aged 13, who had been travelling on an old blue-and-black Honda Wave 100 motorbike with a sidecar. When questioned, Pluem told officers that he and Ton had left their home in Maha Sarakham province two days earlier. With only 80 baht in hand, they had set out to find Pluem’s mother in Chonburi province, a journey of more than 500 kilometres. The boys admitted they hadn’t eaten properly during the journey, and each night they had slept by the roadside. The journey came to a halt when the motorbike ran out of fuel and a concerned petrol station employee, 22-year-old Mr. Suphanai, found them looking exhausted and hungry. “I saw them sitting on the motorbike, looking tired and starving, so I asked them what was going on,” Mr. Suphanai said. “When they told me they were heading to Chonburi to find their mum, I was shocked, that’s way too far for children.” He quickly offered them a meal and contacted local police for help. Authorities later coordinated with the Nakhon Ratchasima Shelter for Children and Families to provide the boys with a safe place to sleep for the night. They will remain there until their relatives arrive to take them home. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-07-02 -

Crime 15 Chinese Arrested in Thai Luxury Home Raid Over Scam Network
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post CHIANG MAI - A major swoop in northern Thailand's Hang Dong district has led to the arrest of 15 Chinese nationals and two Myanmar workers, all linked to an elaborate online scam network. Police in Provincial Region 5 stormed a lavish residence in Ban Waen today, responding to reports of illegal online gambling schemes operating from the property. Police Lieutenant General Kritthapol Yeesakhon, Region 5's chief, revealed that the Chinese nationals had acquired the luxury home using Thai nominees. The property served as the nerve centre for a call centre-style scam aimed at Chinese citizens, luring them into illegal gambling and casino activities in nearby countries. The raid resulted in the seizure of vital evidence, including 10 computers, 26 mobile phones, and other related equipment. Officers believe these items were integral to the fraudulent operations being conducted from the location. The scam network reportedly extended its reach, utilising various properties across northern Thailand, including housing estates and hotels, to orchestrate telecom scams. Thailand is emerging as a key hub for these operations, with scammers exploiting social media and telecom platforms to ensnare victims in unlawful undertakings. Lt. Gen. Kritthapol noted that the investigation would widen its scope, aiming to dismantle grey businesses run by Chinese nationals in the region. The operation underscores the rising issue of foreign-led scams in Thailand. Authorities are determined to eradicate these activities, focusing on how these networks penetrate legitimate housing estates and businesses to carry out their scams. As investigations progress, the police remain committed to identifying and dismantling these complex networks that exploit individuals both locally and internationally.
