Accident Yacht Wrecked by Storm Off Najomtien Beach
Picture courtesy of ป๊อปพิฆาตชายฝั่ง A 41-foot sailing yacht was completely destroyed after being driven ashore by powerful monsoon waves late night on 13 June, crashing into a stone breakwater near Najomtien Soi 22 in Sattahip district, Chonburi province. The vessel, identified as “Suay” (meaning “beautiful” in Thai), hull number 516780914, was found in pieces, its wooden and fibreglass components shattered and strewn across the rocks. Onlookers at the scene included the distraught owner, 64-year-old Mr. Logan Hind, a Canadian national who stood silently watching what remained of his beloved boat. Mr. Hind, a long-time visitor to Thailand, said he had been coming in and out of the country for the past eight years, captivated by its stunning seascapes and natural charm. Speaking to officials, he explained that he had purchased the yacht for several hundred thousand baht, fulfilling a lifelong dream to explore Thailand’s coastal waters. “I fell in love with Thailand’s natural beauty,” Mr. Hind said, holding back tears. “This yacht was my dream. I took such good care of it. Seeing it in pieces like this, it’s heartbreaking.” According to Mr. Hind, the yacht was anchored offshore when violent waves struck around 21:00. The anchor failed to hold against the storm’s force, and the yacht was dragged onto the shore, colliding violently with a concrete breakwater. Mr. Hind, who had been at his residence in nearby Bang Saray at the time, only learned of the incident early morning. Najomtien Subdistrict Mayor Ms. Raphiphan Rattanaliam was notified of the incident by her secretary, Mr. Watthana Boonruang. She promptly dispatched officials to assist Mr. Hind and assess the situation. As the wreckage was beyond repair, Mr. Hind agreed to relinquish the remains of the vessel and its equipment to local authorities. Mr. Watthana was authorised to manage the cleanup. Local fishermen were invited to help salvage what they could, with any valuable parts to be sold and proceeds shared among the helpers as a goodwill gesture.

Crime Central Investigation Bureau Nabs Cash Courier for Call Centre Scam Syndicate
Picture courtesy of CIB. Officers from Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have arrested a 36-year-old man from Phu Sang district for allegedly acting as a cash courier for a sophisticated call centre scam network. The suspect is accused of smuggling between 1 to 2 million baht in cash daily across the border into Laos, hidden inside a lorry. The operation, led by the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), culminated in the arrest of Mr. Amphol, who faces multiple serious charges including conspiracy to commit public fraud by impersonation, introducing false or distorted computer data likely to cause public harm, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and involvement in a transnational criminal organisation. The investigation began after officers from TCSD Subdivision 3 launched a probe into a crypto trading scam on TikTok, which defrauded a victim of 1.8 million baht. The victim had been lured into investing in a fake cryptocurrency trading platform called “FOX Wallet.” Further inquiries revealed that the stolen funds had been dispersed across several mule accounts and laundered through multiple channels, including mobile payment platforms such as TrueMoney, in Phayao province. The money was also used to purchase luxury vehicles. An earlier operation, codenamed “FOX Hunt,” saw the arrest of eight individuals, including both Thai and Chinese nationals, in connection with the scheme. Authorities seized assets worth over 3 million baht during the raid. Continuing the investigation, police traced cash withdrawals in Phayao back to Mr. Amphol, who was allegedly tasked with physically transporting the money across the border to Laos. Acting on this information, officers gathered sufficient evidence to secure an arrest warrant and apprehend him. Mr. Amphol has been handed over to investigators from Subdivision 3 of the TCSD for further legal proceedings. The operation was conducted under the direction of Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridech, Commissioner of the CIB, with Police Major General Athip Phongsivapai, Commander of the TCSD, and Police Colonel Chitsanupong Waiwadee, Chief of Subdivision 3, overseeing the case. The CIB has reiterated its commitment to cracking down on transnational cybercrime and protecting the public from fraudulent investment schemes. Adapted by Asean Now from CIB 2025-06-15 -
