Cyber Police Raid Home of Local Councillor ‘Sor Golf’ in Major Online Gambling Crackdown
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Cybercrime police have launched a sweeping operation targeting a major online gambling network, with the home of a high-profile local councillor, known as “Sor Golf,” among four key locations raided. Authorities uncovered a vast web of financial transactions linked to illegal online betting, with total funds exceeding 200 million baht annually. At 15:00 on 22 May, senior officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) held a press conference in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, detailing the outcome of “Operation Wingame98.” The online gambling website in question offered games such as slots, baccarat, dragon tiger, blackjack, roulette, lottery, and sports betting, all hosted and transacted via Thai bank accounts using automated systems and so-called “mule” accounts to conceal financial flows. The investigation culminated in the issuance of arrest and search warrants, leading to raids at four separate sites. The most high-profile of these was the luxury home of Mr. Siradanai Plaiduang, also known locally as Sor Golf, a 28-year-old councillor in Songkhla province. Police seized a large cache of luxury goods including 21 branded handbags, designer watches and belts, as well as ammunition and documents deemed critical to the investigation. Additional searches were carried out at: • A fighting bull training camp believed to be owned by the councillor. • Two private residences in the Hat Yai area used by suspected accomplices. Four suspects operating mule accounts for the network were arrested during the raids. They were identified as: 1. Pichaya, 27 2. Satayu, 52 3. Kitipong, 20 4. Kawin, 32 According to Police Lieutenant General Trirong Piupan, Commissioner of the CCIB, the operation was initiated under national directives to eliminate online gambling operations exploiting citizens and youth. He confirmed there is solid evidence linking Sor Golf to the gambling ring. “We are confident we have enough material to pursue serious charges against the councillor,” he said, adding that further investigation has revealed attempts to transfer illicit assets to individuals close to the suspect. Financial analysis showed that multiple bank accounts used for laundering the proceeds of online gambling were directly connected to Mr. Siradanai. Police also noted that he had previously faced charges for assaulting border patrol officers, underscoring his history of legal entanglements. The four suspects now face charges of: • Organising and promoting gambling through electronic media without permission. • Conspiring to commit money laundering offences. • Engaging in acts of money laundering as a result of the conspiracy. Authorities vowed to pursue every individual involved in the network, seize all illicit assets, and investigate possible links to further criminal enterprises. “We will not stop until the entire network is dismantled and their wealth confiscated,” said Lt. Gen. Trirong. Investigations are ongoing, and more arrests are expected in the coming days.

Even MAGA Is Up in Arms Over Trump’s ‘Flying Grift’ From Qatar
So in short, it would require a huge budget and time to transform the plane and use it for maybe 2 years until the new AF one planes are scheduled to be delivered. I thought MAGA was about cutting the government waste of money. Promises made, promises kept. NOT? -

Despite 30 minutes of resuscitation attempts by emergency services, the man could not be saved.

Accident Cambodian Man Electrocuted While Fishing, Relatives Attempt Sand Burial in Bid to Revive Him
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 32-year-old Cambodian migrant worker died after being electrocuted while using a makeshift fish-stunning device near an irrigation canal in Chonburi province. Despite 30 minutes of resuscitation attempts by emergency services, the man could not be saved. In a display of misplaced faith in folklore, his grieving friends and wife attempted to bury his body in sand, believing it would draw out the remaining electricity and revive him. The incident occurred in Sra Si Liam subdistrict, Phanat Nikhom district, close to Wat Laem Pradu. The victim, dressed in a long-sleeved T-shirt and trousers, was found unconscious and soaking wet beside the canal. According to rescue workers, he had been using an improvised electrofishing device, and created from a car battery connected via wires to a bamboo pole, when he suffered a fatal electric shock and collapsed into the water. Emergency responders arrived quickly and began CPR, administering chest compressions and using a defibrillator (AED) for half an hour. Despite their efforts, paramedics from Panat Nikhom Hospital were forced to pronounce the man dead at the scene. However, the man’s Cambodian wife and colleagues refused to believe he had died. Drawing on a long-standing belief common in parts of Cambodia, they laid his body flat on a pile of sand and covered it completely, convinced the sand would extract residual electricity and restore life. Though emergency personnel explained there was no scientific basis for such actions, the bereaved family insisted on carrying out the ritual. Only after further confirmation by police that the man was truly deceased did they consent to have the body transported for autopsy. The belief in using sand to “absorb electricity” from a person who has been electrocuted first gained widespread attention on social media back in 2015 and is rooted in traditional Cambodian practices. Associate Professor Dr Jessada Denduangboripant, a lecturer in biology at Chulalongkorn University, publicly addressed the issue, warning that such beliefs were dangerous and could lead to preventable deaths. “By the time a person has collapsed from an electric shock, the current has already passed through the body,” Dr Jessada explained. “There is no remaining electricity to be ‘drawn out’ by sand or any other material. CPR must be administered immediately to have any chance of saving a life.” Dr Jessada also highlighted similar misconceptions in Thailand, such as placing electrocuted victims on zinc sheets to draw out electricity, another ineffective and potentially harmful practice. Police from Phanat Nikhom Station collected the homemade fishing device as evidence. Preliminary findings suggest the man was electrocuted due to leakage from the improvised electrical setup while fishing alone by the canal. Friends nearby found him unconscious and called for help, but it was too late. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-23. -
