Getting a cruiser in Thailand
I like to have the option going on the dirt roads, and I had a few adventure bikes and also dual sports bikes, so it comes down to experience and preferences. I looked at the Royal Enfield 650 super Meteor, and those bikes looks good, but for reliability I would go for Honda or Kawasaki. Honda do have more service places tho -

Travel Suvarnabhumi Airport to Introduce Prototype Indoor Smoking Rooms by End of July
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Department of Disease Control has revealed detailed plans for new prototype indoor smoking rooms at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. The move comes in response to repeated incidents of passengers illegally smoking in airport restrooms and other unauthorised areas, raising concerns about second-hand smoke exposure and public safety. Dr Chayanan Sithibus, Director of the Tobacco Product Control Committee Office at the Ministry of Public Health, confirmed that two locations within the airport have been approved for the new facilities. The smoking rooms will be installed in the SAT-1 satellite terminal (1 room) and on the 4th floor of the main international departure terminal (3 rooms). Outdoor smoking zones will remain in designated areas on the 2nd floor, outside the main terminal. Dr Chayanan explained that the initiative is aimed at accommodating transit passengers who are unable to leave the airport between connecting flights. “Previously, smokers were forced to seek out private areas such as toilets, which is illegal and harmful to others,” he said. “By creating these controlled environments, we are prioritising safety and reducing public exposure to second-hand smoke.” The design of the prototype rooms will follow international best practices, functioning similarly to infectious disease isolation units. Each room will feature a double-door entry system, negative air pressure, and a high-efficiency ventilation system to prevent smoke leakage. No specific size has been mandated, but the technical standards for air quality management are strict. The smoking rooms are expected to be completed by the end of July, followed by a safety assessment and trial period in August. Feedback from this pilot will be reviewed in a future meeting of the National Tobacco Products Control Committee. The Ministry of Public Health has also advised that all future airport construction projects include designated indoor smoking areas that comply with these new safety and ventilation standards. “The Minister of Public Health has been clear, any smoking area must be entirely safe for non-smokers,” said Dr Chayanan. “This includes ensuring that second-hand smoke is fully contained and eliminated through proper design and engineering.” The initiative marks a shift in Thailand’s approach to public smoking, balancing public health concerns with practical solutions for air travellers.

Crime Drug Dealer Rams Police Officer While Fleeing Checkpoint in Ayutthaya
Picture courtesy of Daily News A 39-year-old drug dealer was apprehended following a dramatic attempt to flee a police checkpoint in Ayutthaya, during which he rammed a police officer and caused injuries before crashing his motorcycle and being arrested. Pol Col Arthit Simcharoen, superintendent of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Police Station, confirmed the incident occurred around 20:00 on 18 July. Pol Lt Col Narit Chansoda and his team had been manning a routine anti-crime checkpoint in front of the Ayutthaya Elephant Palace & Royal Kraal in Pratu Chai subdistrict when the suspect approached on a Yamaha Filano motorbike, registration plate from Ayutthaya. Upon seeing the checkpoint, the suspect, later identified as Mr Wuttichai Thadsongkool, a resident of Pratu Chai, abruptly turned his bike around in an attempt to escape. Police gave chase through the city, with Mr Wuttichai eventually circling back and returning to the checkpoint area, where he pretended he was about to stop. As Pol L/Cpl Palawat Kaenthiang moved in to carry out a search, the suspect suddenly accelerated and crashed directly into the officer, sending him airborne and leaving him with abrasions across his body. Mr Wuttichai lost control of his motorbike shortly after and attempted to flee on foot but was swiftly captured. A body search revealed 20 methamphetamine pills and 0.57 grams of crystal methamphetamine hidden on his person. A urine test later confirmed the presence of illegal narcotics in his system. The suspect reportedly admitted to police that he had recently taken drugs and fled the checkpoint out of fear of arrest. Mr Wuttichai sustained injuries during the crash and was treated at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a dislocated shoulder and a broken arm, requiring a cast. Police have charged him with multiple offences, including drug possession, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. Further legal proceedings are underway.

Crime Notorious Drug Lord Captured After Shootout With Police
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The dramatic saga of one of western Thailand’s most elusive drug traffickers came to an end on the night of 18 July, when police arrested Prawit “Keng Dan Chang”, following a gun battle in Kanchanaburi province. Keng, who had repeatedly evaded previous attempts to capture him, was wounded in the leg during the confrontation and taken into custody alongside two accomplices. The joint operation was led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Watcharin Prasopdee, Chief of Suphan Buri Provincial Police, and Pol. Col. Peera Asawapiboonphon, Superintendent of the Provincial Investigation Division. Acting on intelligence, police units from Suphan Buri and Kanchanaburi coordinated a raid on a house in Moo 9, Yang Muang Subdistrict, Tha Maka District, where Keng was believed to be hiding. Keng, wanted on multiple drug-related charges, opened fire on officers in an attempt to escape. Police returned fire in self-defence, hitting him in the right leg. Officers arrested him and two alleged associates, identified only as Sarawut (alias “Ko”) and Apichat (alias “Ta”) and seized 8,800 methamphetamine pills and a firearm. Keng Dan Chang has long been considered a major figure in the regional drug trade, with suspected links to a wide-reaching narcotics network operating in Suphan Buri, Kanchanaburi and nearby provinces. Previous efforts to detain him were unsuccessful, allegedly due to insider tip-offs and a local network of up to 80 drug users and runners. In June, officers raided a house in Moo 2, Nikom Krasaeo Subdistrict, Dan Chang District, where they seized over 32,000 meth pills, 102.82 grams of crystal meth and 13 firearms, but Keng escaped, leaving behind his 61-year-old mother, who was arrested at the scene. On 6 July, police attempted to intercept Keng again on Highway 333 in Suphan Buri during a suspected drug drop. Despite three police teams blocking the road, Keng allegedly shot at officers and fled into nearby forested hills. One of his men was shot and injured during that encounter. Authorities recovered 4,000 meth pills, a large packet of ketamine and two guns, including an Uzi-style submachine gun. After years of evading justice, Keng Dan Chang’s luck finally ran out. He is now receiving medical treatment under police custody, pending prosecution. His arrest marks a major success for narcotics suppression forces in the region.

Crime Land Dispute Turns Deadly as Nephew Fatally Shoots Uncle in Songkhla
Picture courtesy of Daily News. A long-standing land dispute spanning over a decade ended in tragedy when a 44-year-old man from Singhanakhon District shot and killed his uncle in a moment of rage. The suspect later surrendered to police, admitting he had “lost control” after years of provocation. Pol Sub Lt Marut Nilkosee, an investigator with Singhanakhon Police Station, received a report of a fatal shooting on a rural road behind Khao Khiew School in Moo 1, Sathing Mo subdistrict, Singhanakhon District, Songkhla province. Officers from multiple investigation units responded to the scene. The victim, Mr Phinyoh, aged 60, was found lying face down on a disputed plot of land. Nearby, police recovered four 9mm shell casings. Roughly 200 metres away, officers located additional evidence. Shortly after, the suspect, Mr Wirat 44, the victim’s nephew, turned himself in at Singhanakhon Police Station. He led officers to the site where he had discarded the murder weapon, revealing that he had thrown the pistol into a well structure beside a small shack, while separating the magazine and hiding it under the same shelter. According to Mr Wirat, the land had been under his father’s care for many years. After working in Bangkok, he returned home and was shown the boundaries of the land by his father. Following his father’s death in 2014, Mr Wirat claimed he took over stewardship of the land. However, his uncle allegedly began excavating and selling soil from the property and later sold off sections to local villagers. Mr Wirat also stated that he filed legal complaints over the issue but was continually harassed and provoked by his uncle, including threats from villagers allegedly brought in by the deceased. The land in question, he said, now totals around 10 rai. In his confession, Mr Wirat admitted to becoming enraged during a confrontation on the day of the shooting. He said the victim continued to provoke him, pushing him into a state of uncontrollable anger. From a shack about 200 metres away, he fired four to five shots at his uncle, killing him instantly. “I just couldn’t take it anymore,” Mr Wirat told police. “I’ve endured this for over 10 years. It even cost me my job. I want to apologise to my uncle’s family.” Police have charged Mr Wirat with murder and seized the firearm as evidence. He is now in custody and awaiting further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-07-20 -

Crime DNA Evidence Cracks Gruesome Murder Case in Bueng Kan
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police in Bueng Kan province have arrested a 49-year-old man for the brutal murder of a local resident, whose body was found dumped in a village pond late last month. The suspect initially denied any involvement, but after a night of intense interrogation, he confessed to the shocking crime, which was corroborated by DNA evidence. The arrest was made on 17 July following an investigation led by Pol. Col. Yanathat Chaipacharachot, Superintendent of Sriwilai Police Station, Pol. Col. Kritsakorn Chueasing, Head of Provincial Investigation and their team. The suspect, Poonsub, from Na Saeng Subdistrict, Sriwilai District, was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by Bueng Kan Provincial Court (No. 146/2568) for the murder of Banjong 51. The case began on the morning of 25 June when police received reports of a body floating face-down in a pond behind a village in Na Sabaeng Subdistrict. The deceased, identified as Banjong, had a deep gash across his throat and a caved-in left cheekbone. Bloodstains were discovered on a bamboo bed inside a nearby hut, roughly 500 metres from where the body was recovered. Two machetes were also found at the scene and collected for forensic analysis. The victim’s 60-year-old brother told investigators he witnessed the attack but was too frightened to intervene. He saw the assailant beating his brother and then loading the body onto a rubber-carting trolley. Rather than confront the attacker, he ran to notify his sister-in-law, who called the police. Forensic teams later confirmed that DNA found on the machetes and other items at the crime scene matched that of the suspect, prompting the court to issue an arrest warrant. Poonsub was apprehended soon after but initially denied all charges. However, after an overnight interrogation session, he confessed in the afternoon of 18 July. According to his statement, he first struck the victim on the head with a wooden club until he stopped moving, then slit his throat with a rubber tapping knife to ensure death. He then placed the body in the rubber trolley, covered it with a mat and wheeled it to the pond where he dumped it. A background check revealed that Poonsub has a history of mental illness and had previously been involved in a fatal assault. He now faces charges of murder and concealment of a corpse, as authorities proceed with legal action.
