Crime Police Raid Construction Site, Arrest 58 Foreign Workers
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Police have raided a construction site in Chonburi, arresting 58 foreign nationals, including Chinese and Myanmar workers, for working illegally, many of them using tourist visas. The operation was led under the orders of National Police Chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanthuphet and overseen by Pol Lt Gen Saksira Phueakam, Commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau, as part of a crackdown on foreign nationals engaging in unauthorised employment. Following intelligence reports, Pol Col Man Rotthong, Superintendent of the Tourist Police Investigation Division, instructed his deputies, Pol Lt Col Jetsada Thongtha and Pol Lt Col Piyapong Raksa, to execute a search warrant issued by Pattaya Provincial Court. Tourist Police officers then moved in on a factory construction project in Nong Yai district, Chonburi, where large numbers of Chinese and Myanmar nationals were reportedly working. Officers discovered 14 Chinese nationals, all holding tourist visas but unable to produce valid work permits. They were charged with “being a foreigner working without a work permit”. A further 44 Myanmar nationals were unable to present any legal documentation. They were charged with “entering and residing in the Kingdom without permission” and “working without a work permit”. All 58 suspects were taken into custody and handed over to local investigators for prosecution in accordance with the law. Police have reiterated their commitment to tightening inspections on worksites and businesses employing foreign nationals illegally, warning that both workers and employers will face legal consequences.

Have you met Mary Jane?
In my resent travels in the far south was shocked that there were any shops at all. There were three all open , one at lets say very weird hours never saw it closed, one was within 100 feet of my hotel , and the other surrounded by Muslim shops. In four days never saw a foreigner. As I said Dr. Doom my hunch is in hiding realizing current government is on the rocks and going no where fast. Guessing at least another month of total daze and confused government until someone wakes up to the fact that the only solution is ....... you know what. -

Accident Shrimp Farm Incident Nearly Costs Worker a Leg
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 40-year-old shrimp farm worker in Chachoengsao has been rushed to hospital with a severe leg injury after her trousers became entangled in the rotating shaft of a paddlewheel aerator, twisting her leg to near amputation. The accident occurred on 9 August at a shrimp pond in Moo 3, Bang Phra subdistrict, Mueang district. Rescue teams from Chachoengsao were alerted by Mr Wisut Wiratchakul, 54, after his relative, Ms Chotika Sae Koo, became trapped in the aerator while feeding shrimp. Upon arrival, rescuers found Ms Chotika lying on her back beside the machine, wearing long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and rubber boots. Her right lower leg had been twisted around by the device and was lodged in the universal joint, the connecting part between the motor and the paddlewheel blades. She was in severe pain, bleeding heavily and semi-conscious. Rescue workers had to cut away her boots and trousers to assess the wound, stop the excessive bleeding and splint the leg before carefully freeing her, using rescue tools and with Mr Wisut, the pond’s owner, helping by unbolting the joint from the shaft, thus allowing them to move Ms Chotika onto an ambulance. She was placed on oxygen and transported urgently to Phutthasothon Hospital. Mr Wisut explained that the victim routinely crossed the aerator shaft while working. On this occasion, she was wearing loose trousers, which likely caught the rotating blades, which snagged the fabric and pulled her down. He added that the incident could have been fatal if the aerator had been powered by a tractor engine rather than electricity. In this case, the excessive strain caused the belt to slip off, stopping the machine before further damage was done. Following the incident, Mr Wisut said he would cover the aerator’s joint with a protective cover to prevent similar incidents in the future. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-10 -
