Accident Helicopter Crash in Prachuap Khiri Khan
UPDATE Police Reveal Cause of Helicopter Crash: Faulty Equipment to Blame, Not Sabotage Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A senior Royal Thai Police official has confirmed that the recent police helicopter crash in Prachuap Khiri Khan province was caused by mechanical failure, not sabotage or external attack. Pol Maj Gen Wongwarit Srikham, a senior expert at the Royal Thai Police and currently seconded to the Police Aviation Division, revealed the preliminary findings during a meeting with local officials and village leaders at the Koh Lak Subdistrict Administrative Organisation. According to the investigation, the crash occurred when the helicopter’s main rotor malfunctioned, resulting in one of the blades severing the tail rotor. This caused the aircraft to lose stability and spin out of control, ultimately leading to a violent crash. Officials stressed that the incident was not the result of pilot error or negligence. Pol Maj Gen Wongwarit also addressed public speculation that the helicopter may have been shot down, given its proximity to the Thai border. “We can confirm that the helicopter was not attacked or fired upon,” he said. “There is no evidence of sabotage.” He further dismissed local rumours that someone had parachuted to safety before the crash. “Such claims are unfounded. The aircraft failed suddenly, giving no opportunity for a parachute escape. All crew members were strapped in and what witnesses saw was likely debris falling after the tail was struck.” He clarified that the loud sound reported by residents prior to the crash was not an explosion in the air, but the noise caused by the main rotor striking the tail, which created a sound similar to a blast. The wreckage of the helicopter has been transported to the Police Aviation Division in Bangkok, where it will be examined by Bell Helicopters, the aircraft’s manufacturer, to determine which component failed. The three pilots who perished in the crash have been returned to their respective hometowns for religious rites: one to Wat Nuanchan in Bangkok, another to Thong Pha Phum district in Kanchanaburi province and the third to Mueang district in Trang province. In honour of the fallen officers, the Royal Thai Police and the Police Aviation Division, in cooperation with Koh Lak Subdistrict officials, local residents and border patrol police, will hold a Buddhist merit-making ceremony on 29 May at 10:00. The event will take place at the crash site in Ban Nong Kok, Moo 1, Koh Lak subdistrict, Mueang district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-29. -

Crime Drunken American Throws Rock through Window in Pattaya Over E-Cigarette Dispute
Amazing it was 1 on 1, at least when the video ends. Where's Somchai's seven friends? Dog pack attacks on foreigners more the norm. Kudos for going toe-to-toe with someone much larger. Have to respect that. -

Crime Man Killed in Alcohol-Fuelled Fight at Rocket Festival in Khon Kaen
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 61-year-old man has died following a violent altercation during a local rocket festival celebration in Chum Phae District, Khon Kaen province. The attack, which occurred after a dispute over alcohol, resulted in the victim being bludgeoned to death with a wooden stick and partially buried in dirt on a village road. Police were alerted to the incident at around 16:00, on 27 May. Police Lieutenant Poomin Iem-ong of Chum Phae Police Station received the report of a suspected homicide in Moo 9, Ban Lang Nonchat, in Non Han subdistrict. Senior officers, investigators and local rescue volunteers quickly arrived at the scene. The body of Mr. Jarae Boonmang, aged 61, was discovered lying on his back in the middle of a village road, directly in front of a residence. He had suffered significant head injuries and was partially covered in dirt. A metre-long bloodstained wooden stick was found approximately 30 metres away and was seized as evidence. Traces indicated the body had been dragged roughly 20 metres. The suspected attacker, Mr. Sombat Naewprasert, aged 51, was found at his home nearby, heavily intoxicated and giving inconsistent statements. He was taken into custody and later escorted to the scene for a crime reconstruction. Preliminary investigations revealed that both men had been drinking together since morning at a neighbour’s house as part of the village’s traditional “Bun Bang Fai” (Rocket Festival) celebrations. A verbal argument escalated during the gathering, but onlookers intervened and separated them, urging both to return home. However, the victim reportedly followed Mr. Sombat to his home and reignited the quarrel. In a fit of rage, Mr. Sombat punched Mr. Jarae, causing him to fall. He then grabbed a piece of firewood from behind his house and struck him multiple times. The suspect then dragged the body onto the road and attempted to bury it using a hoe. Chum Phae Police Superintendent, Colonel Rakchat Rueangcharoen, confirmed that the incident stemmed from a drunken dispute. While Mr. Sombat does not have a history of drug use, he is known to consume alcohol heavily and is currently under psychiatric treatment. The suspect will undergo a full medical examination and testing for narcotics, although initial reports indicate no illegal substances were involved. Police will proceed with criminal charges following completion of the investigation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-29. -

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
Hamas are desperate, their money lifeline gone. Hamas fighters ‘not paid for three months’ because of Israeli aid block Hamas has not paid its fighters for three months due to Israeli restrictions on humanitarian aid preventing the group seizing and selling supplies, according to reports. Members of the al-Qassam brigades, Hamas’ military wing, have not received any pay since around February, a source from within the terror group told the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. Families of terrorists killed or captured during fighting with Israel are also reported to have not received their usual remuneration. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/05/24/hamas-fighters-not-paid-three-months-israeli-aid-blockade/ https://archive.ph/pk9EZ https://x.com/Ostrov_A/status/1927327637992529966
