Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
Thailand is set to introduce stricter regulations for foreign nationals "seeking to obtain a Thai driver's licence" The Department of Land Transport (DLT) has proposed a draft regulation requiring all foreigners to pass a written test, irrespective of holding a valid international driving permit (IDP). Genuine tourists would presumably remain exempt when they roll up at the Car Rental kiosk with Home Country Licence and accompanying IDP per the Vienna Convention. -

Crime Fugitive Arrested in Pattaya After 18 Years on the Run for Attempted Murder
Picture courtesy of TMN Police in Pattaya have arrested a man wanted for an attempted murder committed nearly two decades ago, just two years before the statute of limitations was set to expire. In a coordinated operation, Pol. Lt. Gen. Jiraphop Phuridej, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, joined forces with Chonburi Provincial Police Chief Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatchakiat Jindakornsanan, Pattaya Police Superintendent Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu, and Deputy Superintendent of Investigation Pol. Lt. Col. Arut Saphanon. The operation was backed by the Special Operations Division and local investigative teams. The suspect, 53-year-old Somphot, also known as “Tuk”, a native of Chumphon province, was apprehended while riding a motorcycle in Soi 11, Phonpraphanimit Road, Nong Prue sub-district, Bang Lamung district. He was wanted under arrest warrant No. J.1725/2550 issued by the Pattaya Provincial Court on 3 December 2007 for the charge of attempted murder. During interrogation, Somphot confessed to the crime. He recounted that around 18 years ago he had gone to collect a debt from a man, but the confrontation escalated. In an attempt to intimidate the debtor, he drew a firearm and fired a warning shot. However, the bullet missed its intended target and struck the debtor’s girlfriend in the abdomen, leaving her critically injured. Realising the gravity of the situation, Somphot fled the scene, discarded the weapon in a waterway, and went into hiding. He initially stayed in Bangkok before relocating back to his hometown in Chumphon. Believing the case had long gone cold, he eventually returned to Pattaya to live with his new partner. His confidence proved misplaced. Pattaya police investigators, who had kept the case file active, tracked him down and arrested him just two years before the 20-year statute of limitations would have made prosecution impossible. Somphot has fully confessed to the charges. He was immediately handed over to Pattaya City Police for legal proceedings. Adapted by ASEAN Now from TMN 2025-06-21 -
