Crime Armed Robbers Steal 3.4 Million Baht in Crypto Scam in Bangkok Mall
UPDATE Crypto Scam: Two Gang Members Arrested for Armed Robbery Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have arrested two members of the notorious “Tiger Poon Gang” who were involved in the armed robbery, during a staged cryptocurrency deal in a prominent Ladprao shopping mall car park. The suspects were tracked down and apprehended at a resort in Pathum Thani province in the early hours of July 1. The dramatic robbery, which took place on the night of June 30, saw a group of seven assailants, armed with knives and allegedly a firearm, lure a cryptocurrency buyer into a vehicle before stealing the large sum of cash intended for a crypto transaction. At 01:00, a police task force led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Siam Boonsom, Metropolitan Police Commissioner, arrested two suspects: Mr. Cherpatch, a 25-year-old transgender and Ms. Nana aged 31. Both had warrants issued by the Ratchada Criminal Court for armed robbery at night using a vehicle. Seized from the pair were: • 1.9 million baht in cash (part of the stolen amount) • Gold necklace (10 baht weight) • Clothing worn during the robbery • Bank passbooks, credit cards, and personal documents The arrests took place in a resort in Lat Lum Kaeo District, Pathum Thani. The suspects were later taken to Phahonyothin Police Station for questioning and case expansion. During initial interrogation, both suspects confessed to their involvement. Mr. Cherpatch reportedly acted as a fake cryptocurrency broker on Facebook, tricking victims into believing legitimate deals were being arranged. In the case at hand, the victim was swindled out of smaller amounts twice, 200,000 and 300,000 baht, before being lured into the final 3.4 million baht transaction, where the gang struck. Ms. Nana, according to CCTV evidence, was inside a Honda Civic with Nakhon Sawan plates and was seen helping lure the victim to the car. After the robbery, the pair were dropped off at a rental house in Prachanivet 3 before being given their cut of the money and instructed to flee to the Pathum Thani resort. Police have identified five additional suspects: • Mr. Rungniran (alias Bo), 32 • Mr. Ball, 35 • Mr. Nonthawat (alias Song), 28 • Mr. Worawat (alias Tiger Poon), 43 – gang leader • Mr. Ananchai (alias Ice), 26 The total gang of seven reportedly knew one another from prior criminal activities, drug use and cohabitation. Police are now seeking arrest warrants for the remaining five, who have known criminal records involving theft, robbery and narcotics. Police did not recover any firearms during the arrest, though the victim claimed the gang simulated having a weapon during the robbery. Authorities believe two vehicles were used in the escape. It was also revealed that Mr. Cherpatch and Ms. Nana had previous arrest warrants from Khok Kram Police Station for extortion, assault, impersonating officers and illegal possession of firearms. Pol. Lt. Gen. Siam issued a public warning following the case, stressing the risks of buying cryptocurrency through unofficial brokers. Victims are often lured by promises of higher returns, up to 20,000 baht profit per 1 million baht, but become vulnerable to fraud or violence, as seen in this case. Authorities urge the public to trade digital assets only through legitimate, regulated platforms. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-01 -

Krungsri online banking discontinued from 1 October 2025
Just received my email and SMS but both in Thai, not English. The USERNAME is the same as I use for KrungsriOnline and the temporary password was English characters. Sign in done and both my savings account and credit card shown. Everything fine with the savings account but my credit card shows a nil balance and nil available funds. I would hold off on the new account and transfer at the moment. I will probably need to go to the local branch and sort out the credit card if not fixed in a couple of days. -

Travel EU Visa Requirement for Thais Remains Unchanged, Ministry Confirms
I think EU should do the same like Canada. Thais who have had a Schengen visa in last 10 years should be able to use ETIAS. If I’m not mistaken Thai citizens who have had US or Canada’s visitor visa in last 10 years are able to use just ETA for their travels to Canada. -

Middle East Iran Demands End to US Strikes Before Nuclear Talks Can Resume
They were running out of anti-missle munitions hence stopped the bombing. It will resume once stock arrives. And for Iran the answer should be “would you like fries with that”. Next time they’ll be better prepared with Russian and Chinese stuff. Israel on its last legs. -
