Community Search Underway for Missing 74-Year-Old Man with Diabetes Who Disappeared
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A 74-year-old man suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure has been missing for two days after venturing alone into the forested hills near his home to gather wood for making tool handles. Mr Chit, a resident of Ban Nong Pao Pi village in Sam Roi Yot district, Prachuap Khiri Khan, left home on the morning of 4 June to climb Huai Ta Chit Hill in Kui Buri National Park. He had reportedly gone to cut maha phrom wood, which he regularly uses to craft hoe handles for sale. According to his family, he usually returns home by evening, but on this occasion, he failed to do so. The disappearance triggered a large-scale search involving over 50 individuals, including park rangers, local officials, police officers from Sam Roi Yot Police Station, village leaders, volunteers, rescue personnel from Sawang Methee Thammasathan Foundation, and concerned villagers. The initial search found a cloth shoulder bag belonging to Mr Chit on the ground. Inside were food items including rice, bottled water, bread and snacks. Fearing he might return to the location, the bag was left untouched. Search teams then swept the surrounding area for several hours but were unable to locate him and had to call off efforts temporarily due to nightfall. The following day, the teams regrouped with fresh supplies and expanded their search radius from the spot where the bag was found. Despite nearly eight hours of continued searching, there was still no sign of the missing man. Authorities have since divided the operation into three separate teams to cover more ground and have appealed for additional support from other agencies. Mr Chit’s daughter, Ms Walaya, told reporters that her father had gone to collect wood as usual, but this time did not return. “We’ve searched for two days and still haven’t found him,” she said. “His saw and knife are also missing, so we think he took them with him.” She added that her father suffers from both diabetes and hypertension. His diabetes requires insulin injections administered to the abdomen rather than oral medication. “We are worried that he may have suffered a medical episode and is now unable to move or call for help,” she said tearfully. “Whatever has happened, we just want to find him, we’re praying that he is safe.” Authorities and local volunteers have pledged to continue search efforts until Mr Chit is found.

Report Thai Woman Finds Abandoned Box with 12 Million Baht in Condo Waste Area
Lawyer Claims 12 Million Baht Found in Condo Was Forgotten Due to Flood Picture courtesy of Thai Rath In a peculiar turn of events, the owner of 12 million baht (£270,000) in cash has surfaced to clarify its baffling discovery. The money was recently found in a grey plastic box alongside a condominium lift in Muang Thong Thani, Pak Kret, by a good Samaritan. The box, which also contained wet clothing and wine bottles, was reportedly forgotten after the owner's room was flooded. On the evening of 5th June, police began an investigation to determine the legality and the rightful owner of the cash. On 6th June, around 7 PM, Mr. Taweewat presented himself at Pak Kret Police Station, confessing to being the owner of the money. According to him, he had temporarily moved the cash due to water damage in his bathroom, intending to return for it, but he forgot. Mr. Taweewat, who works as a lawyer, stated his willingness to provide evidence proving ownership. The police, led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Kittithanes Thanananthaveesin, are in the process of verifying his claims, including cross-checking with bank records since the 2020 withdrawal date mentioned in reports. Currently, the cash remains with the authorities as they confirm the story's veracity and await bank assurances regarding the transaction's legitimacy. Furthermore, investigations continue into Mr. Taweewat's financial history to ensure legal compliance. Mr. Taweewat reassured that pending proof, he holds no anxiety over the situation, showing confidence in the outcome of ongoing verifications. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Rath 2025-06-07 -

Crime Man Arrested for Aiding Call Centre Scam That Duped Woman into Transferring 3 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A 48-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a sophisticated call centre scam in which a woman was deceived into undressing on a video call and ultimately transferring over 3 million baht to a criminal gang posing as law enforcement. Pol Maj Gen Witiya Sriprasertphap, commander of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), ordered the arrest of Mr. Alongkorn, who was detained in Soi Wat Phikun Ngoen, Bang Muang subdistrict, Bang Yai district, Nonthaburi province. The arrest followed a warrant issued by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court on 27 May 2025, charging him with fraud by impersonation, inputting false information into a computer system and allowing his bank account to be used in the commission of a crime. According to investigators, the victim initially received a phone call from individuals claiming to be officers from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The scammers accused her of involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering, warning that non-cooperation would result in prosecution. To gain her trust, the suspects sent what appeared to be official documents via a messaging app and instructed her to isolate herself in a hotel room for a “confidential investigation.” During a subsequent video call, the scammers alleged that the victim had engaged in sexual activity with a drug suspect and insisted she remove her clothing to allow a visual search for identifying marks, claiming it was part of the investigative process. The suspects then requested access to her financial records and instructed her to transfer money to various bank accounts for “verification.” Over time, the victim complied with 18 transfers to 14 different accounts, totalling 3.2 million baht. Investigators later traced one of the accounts to Mr. Alongkorn, who admitted during questioning that he had opened the account at the request of a friend, allegedly for a commission of 9,000 baht. He claimed he was unaware that it would be used for criminal purposes. Following the victim’s realisation that she had been scammed, she reported the incident to police, leading to a full investigation and the eventual arrest of Mr. Alongkorn. He has been transferred to Mueang Nonthaburi Police Station to face further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-07
