Community Retired Teacher Found Dead in Pond in Buriram
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The body of a retired schoolteacher was recovered from a pond in Nong Hong District, Buriram Province on the morning of 13 July. The 55-year-old man, who had taken early retirement from government service, was believed to have suffered from stress and health issues. Police and rescue divers were called to the scene after receiving reports of a suspected drowning. The body was found submerged in a pond approximately three metres deep. Rescue divers from Siam Ruamjai Pu In Buriram took around 20 minutes to locate and retrieve the body. The deceased was identified only as Mr A, a former teacher from a school in Huai Hin Subdistrict. He had retired approximately one year ago. Initial examination of the body showed no signs of injury or foul play. Notably, officials discovered 8,690 baht in cash on his person, along with two government lottery tickets for the 16 July draw bearing the number 489091. An additional 140 baht and the lottery tickets were reportedly found floating on the water’s surface, drawing interest from local onlookers. A relative of the deceased told police that the man had been experiencing ongoing stress due to chronic health issues, which he had refused to treat. He was also a frequent drinker and had spoken on several occasions about feeling suicidal. According to the family, Mr A left home around 02:00 on 13 July, and it was unclear where he had gone. By 04:00, villagers spotted a vehicle parked with its engine running and headlights on, leading them to alert emergency services. Rescue workers later found the man’s body in the nearby pond. Police have recorded the incident and are continuing their investigation, although initial evidence suggests there was no foul play involved. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-14 -

Crime Watch Worth Over 5 Million Baht Stolen in Elaborate Scam Involving Courier Pickup
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A luxury watch worth over 5.65 million baht has been stolen in a scam in Bangkok, after the perpetrator posed as a buyer and tricked the seller into leaving the item at a courier depot. The suspect later impersonated the recipient to retrieve the package without making any payment. Police from Lat Phrao Police Station were alerted to the incident on the evening of 12 July. Pol. Lt. Col. Ekaphot Manee, an investigator at the station, received a report from a private seller who had listed a Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph Ref. 5980/60G-001, featuring a distinctive blue denim strap, for sale online. The seller was contacted via LINE by a man identifying himself as Natthawat, who expressed interest in purchasing the timepiece for the agreed sum of 5.65 million baht. The seller, believing the transaction to be legitimate, sent the watch through a private courier company, Best Express, located inside a shop on Soi Lat Phrao 101, intersection 34. However, the buyer never transferred the agreed payment. Growing suspicious, the seller visited the courier company and was informed that the package had already been collected by a man aged around 25–30, wearing a cream-coloured t-shirt and grey trousers. The individual reportedly provided accurate details of the sender, convincing staff to release the parcel. The incident has been formally reported and police are now reviewing CCTV footage and other evidence to track down the suspect. Pol. Col. Thanaphan Phadungkan, Superintendent of Lat Phrao Police Station, confirmed that a full investigation is underway. He also issued a public warning to online sellers, advising them never to hand over high-value items before receiving payment, especially to unknown buyers and to avoid leaving valuable goods with courier services under similar arrangements. In a related development, it has emerged that similar fraud cases involving luxury watches have recently been reported at other Bangkok police stations, including Taling Chan and Huai Khwang. These incidents follow a similar modus operandi, suspects express interest in a purchase, request the item be dropped at a delivery service and then send various “riders” or couriers to collect the item using falsified details, without ever paying.
