Crime Cyber Police Launch ‘Cyber C.A.T.’ Campaign to 3,000 Chiang Mai Students on Online Scams

In a proactive move to protect students from the growing threat of cybercrime, the commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau Region 4 (CCIB 4), Police Major General Kritach Bunrungrattanayot, launched the Cyber C.A.T. (Cyber Children Assistant Team)programme at Dara Academy in Chiang Mai on 21 July. The initiative, backed by Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiuphan, Commissioner of the CCIB, aims to build awareness and digital resilience among young people through the “Smile of a Scammer” campaign, warning students not to rush into transferring money in suspicious circumstances. Held at the Barbara McKinley Hall in Wat Ket Subdistrict, the event saw senior police officers, including Pol. Colonel Narawat Kamphilo, Pol. Colonel Suban Chokphimpha, and other officials, deliver cyber safety lectures to around 3,000 students across three sessions. The sessions were divided as follows: • 11:00–12:00 – 1,000 students from Mathayom 3 - 6 • 13:00–14:00 – 1,000 students from Prathom 4–6 • 14:30–15:30 – 1,000 students from Mathayom 1 and 2 The key topic was “Understanding and Avoiding Online Scams and Cybercrime”, with officers offering practical tips on identifying digital threats and emphasising the dangers of phishing, fake online shops, and identity theft. Students were also introduced to vital resources including the Cyber Check app, the Cyber Police Facebook page, and the national cybercrime hotline 1441. Officers encouraged students and teachers alike to follow, like, and share cyber safety information through social media to help spread awareness among their peers. The Cyber C.A.T. campaign reflects the growing emphasis on cyber education and community-based crime prevention, equipping the next generation with the tools to stay safe in an increasingly digital world.

Why is the Pizza Company not "real pizza"?
Right. Birth. Allow me to try to explain something. No two people are alike. I’m not a pizza lover, but I’ve started loving the Thai kebab from our local Thai market. After ten pieces, you get one for free. No, it’s not a punch card—it looks more like pink lottery tickets to me. It’s more than a loyalty program; it’s an invitation to become part of the community, to come back, to belong. It’s full experience management, Thai-style. Food is a vehicle for connection, for belonging, for those “full experience” moments that linger long after the meal is gone. This is very different from my popular Turkish friend, who owns a few food trucks in the south of The Netherlands and still makes his own bread. It’s kind of beautiful, isn’t it? Food travels, gets re-mixed, and ends up reflecting the place and the people making it. I like the Turkish version better because it’s delivered with small talk—a little small talk always makes my meals taste better! No matter how hard you try, you can’t deny the proven success of Pizza Company. Still, I miss those little moments that made my friend’s Turkish kebab so memorable. So here I am, trying to find and enjoy my other moments. -

Accident Boy Rescued After Becoming Trapped in Playground Ride in Buriram
Picture courtesy of SiamRath. A young schoolboy was rescued after becoming trapped in a playground ride at a primary school in Prakhon Chai district, Buriram province, during the school’s lunchtime break. The incident occurred on 21 July when Mongkol, a Prathom 2 pupil, was playing with friends in the school playground and attempted to crawl through a seating section of a “Viking” ride, a pirate ship-style swing. While smaller classmates managed to pass through, Mongkol became wedged in the metal frame and was unable to free himself. Teachers and classmates quickly raised the alarm and rescue personnel from the Ban Song Muang Rescue Unit responded immediately. Arriving with cutting tools and emergency equipment, rescuers initially attempted to use a grinder to cut through the metal, but it proved too thick and durable. The team then carefully employed hydraulic spreaders and cutters to remove the structure and free the boy. The rescue took approximately 20 minutes. To the relief of onlooking students and teachers, Mongkol was safely extracted from the structure without any injuries or even a scratch. The scene was met with a round of applause and cheers from pupils who had gathered to watch the rescue operation unfold. Mr. Thanaphat Srirak, a rescue volunteer at the scene, explained that the boy had become stuck beneath a metal beam at the base of the ride’s seat section. “He was pinned at the abdomen and couldn’t move. We proceeded carefully with the spreaders, then the cutters, to avoid any harm and thankfully, the child came out safe and sound.” Mrs. Kanyanat Yunprakhon, the school’s head of academic affairs, confirmed that the incident happened during a regular lunchtime break. “Mongkol was simply playing with friends as children do. Some of them were able to pass through the narrow gap in the Viking ride, but his larger frame caused him to become stuck,” she explained. “Thankfully, our teachers and janitor acted quickly and contacted rescue services immediately.” She added that the school had always prioritised student safety, regularly conducting emergency drills and safety briefings. However, she acknowledged that accidents can happen and described this as a reminder for all schools and families to remain vigilant. In the wake of the incident, the school’s director has ordered the Viking ride to be dismantled and removed from the playground to prevent similar occurrences in future.
