Crime Man Arrested After Strangling Partner in Samut Prakan Motel
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 41-year-old Myanmar national has been arrested after strangling his partner to death in a motel room in Muang District, Samut Prakan. Police say the man confessed to the murder, citing jealousy as the motive. The incident occurred at around midday on 6 July. Officers from Muang Samut Prakan Police Station, along with forensic investigators and emergency responders, were called to a love hotel in the Bang Mueang area following reports of a suspected homicide. Upon arrival at the scene, police found a man exhibiting suspicious behaviour, pacing nervously outside a room. The man, who could not speak Thai, had visible scratches on his body, suggesting a struggle. Officers detained him and entered the room, where they discovered the lifeless body of a woman lying on her back on the bed. She was dressed in a tank top and jeans, with a nylon cord tightly wrapped around her neck. Medical staff estimated she had been dead for approximately one hour. The man was identified as Mr Kim, a 41-year-old from Myanmar. The deceased, aged 31, was his partner and also a Myanmar national. A hotel housekeeper told police that the couple had checked into the room at approximately 09:30. By around noon, the housekeeper noticed Mr Kim pacing outside the room and appearing suspicious. When she attempted to speak with him, he remained silent. Spotting the door ajar, she entered the room and was horrified to find the woman dead, immediately alerting the authorities. During police further questioning, Mr Kim confessed to the murder. He claimed that an argument had erupted after he accused his partner of being unfaithful. In a fit of rage, he used a nylon cord he had brought with him to strangle her. The victim’s body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Ramathibodi Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Mr Kim has been formally charged and remains in police custody pending legal proceedings. Authorities have described the case as a instance of domestic violence and legal support is being coordinated with Myanmar consular officials. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-07 -

Community Khao Yai Elephants Prompt Call for 15km Barrier to Protect Villagers and Crops
Picture courtesy of SismRath A provincial councillor has proposed the construction of a 15-kilometre-long barrier to protect local communities from wild elephants entering farmlands near Khao Yai National Park, following a string of destructive and fatal incidents. Mr Choon Sirichaikeerikosol, a member of the Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) representing Wang Nam Khiao District, revealed that community leaders from Wang Nam Khiao, Wang Mee and Raroeng sub-districts have raised urgent concerns. These areas border Khao Yai–Thap Lan National Parks and the Khao Phaeng Ma Wildlife Sanctuary, where a herd of roughly 20 wild elephants is believed to be roaming. The animals, drawn to crops in nearby villages, have caused extensive damage to farmland and tragically claimed two lives. The fatal incidents occurred in 2024 and early 2025 in Ban Khlong Sai, Village 8 of Wang Nam Khiao. Although local authorities, national park officials and villagers have been working together to deter the animals, Mr Choon said these efforts have so far only addressed the symptoms of a larger problem. He is advocating for the construction of a 15-kilometre-long barrier to act as a physical boundary between human settlements and protected forest areas. “This measure would not only protect residents and their livelihoods, but also promote sustainable tourism,” Mr Choon said. “Visitors could observe wildlife in its natural habitat without feeding the animals, helping preserve ecological balance.” Mr Banphot Phokham, Chief of the Wang Nam Khiao Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, described the challenging geography of the area, with Ban Khlong Sai sitting between Khao Yai and Thap Lan forests, and bordering the Khao Phaeng Ma wildlife zone. He said local authorities are forced to repel elephants on a near-daily basis, often without warning. “Sometimes, herds of 9 to 10 elephants appear without notice, particularly targeting sugarcane and fruit crops,” he added. “There are also gaurs roaming the area, making life even more difficult for farmers.” Mr Banphot called for urgent legal reform to better address the impact of wildlife on local communities. Until such measures are in place, villagers will continue to face unpredictable threats to their lives and livelihoods. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-07-07
