Crime Malaysian Tourists Cause Uproar in Hat Yai with Noisy Midnight Street Racing
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Local residents in Hat Yai, have voiced outrage after a group of Malaysian-registered cars disrupted the peace with high-speed driving and deafening exhaust noises through city streets during the early hours of 17 May. According to eyewitnesses and complaints from locals, the group of modified sedans began causing disturbances around midnight on 16 May. Residents of Ban Rai and Khlong Pom subdistricts in Hat Yai reported that the cars raced along Kanchanavanich Road at high speed, producing thunderous exhaust noise and disturbing the entire neighbourhood. Later, more reports emerged from the Kho Hong area of similar scenes. Eyewitnesses described the vehicles forming rows across the road, three cars per row, blocking traffic as they drove slowly and then suddenly revved their engines, creating a deafening roar that forced residents from their sleep. At approximately 91:25 on 17 May, local reporters at the scene near Greenway Market in Kho Hong confirmed the presence of six Malaysian-registered cars driving in formation on the outbound lane from central Hat Yai. The modified vehicles, fitted with loud exhaust systems, drove up and down the road in repeated laps, before parking briefly at the roadside and then continuing on Sri Phuwanat Road. The group, believed to be tourists visiting Thailand during the weekend, has drawn sharp criticism for treating public roads as their personal racetrack. Frustrated residents condemned the reckless behaviour, which they said has become increasingly common. Tourist police are currently reviewing CCTV footage along the affected routes in an effort to identify and prosecute those responsible. Authorities are also coordinating with relevant agencies to enforce stricter controls and prevent a repeat of such disruptive behaviour in the future. Local officials have urged visiting motorists to respect Thai laws and community wellbeing, emphasising that public roads are not playgrounds for dangerous or inconsiderate driving.

Crime Deadly Land Dispute: Woman 35, Kills Elderly Neighbour in Chaiyaphum
Picture courtesy of Khaosod A long-standing land dispute turned deadly in Chaiyaphum province on the evening of 16 May, when a 35-year-old woman allegedly bludgeoned her 61-year-old neighbour to death with a wooden club during a heated altercation outside her home. Police from Ban Duea Station, led by Pol. Col. Krit Seneewong Na Ayutthaya, responded to an emergency call reporting a fatal assault at house number 106 in Moo 7, Non Kok subdistrict, Kaset Sombun district. Upon arrival, officers found the lifeless body of Mr. Thongpon Noksara lying face down in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. The victim had suffered severe head injuries believed to have been inflicted by a blunt object. Nearby, police discovered a fallen motorbike, a handgun lying beside the deceased and a wooden club, thought to be the murder weapon. Ms. Mulan Wonghan, 35, who owns the house at the scene, was waiting to surrender to authorities. She told officers that she and Mr. Thongpon had a history of conflict related to a land ownership dispute. She claimed that the victim had previously threatened her with a firearm and had come to her home again on the day of the incident carrying a gun. According to her statement, Mr. Thongpon initially confronted her at her home, prompting her to flee. However, he allegedly returned shortly afterwards on a motorbike, pursuing her. In fear for her life, Ms. Mulan said she grabbed a wooden stick nearby and struck him on the head multiple times, causing him to collapse. Police took Ms. Mulan into custody and charged her with murder. The victim’s body has been sent to Chaiyaphum Hospital for a post-mortem examination before being released to his family. Authorities continue to investigate the case, including reviewing the history of threats and the role the recovered firearm may have played in the deadly confrontation.
