Gang Arrested for Illegal Padauk Wood Logging, Two Police Officers Among Those Involved
Picture of arrest. Authorities from the Klong Wang Chao National Park in Tak province have successfully raided a gang involved in the illegal logging of “padauk wood,” apprehending five individuals, including two police officers. Investigations are underway to expand the case and ensure severe legal action is taken. Mr. Chaiya Danpho, Director of the 12th Conservation Area Management Bureau (Nakhon Sawan), revealed that Mr. Noppadol Praphong, Head of Klong Wang Chao National Park, reported the discovery of illegal wood processing in the Nakhiri Forest area, near Ban Pang Sangkasi, Moo 11, Chiang Thong Subdistrict, Wang Chao District, Tak. Authorities seized processed padauk wood and unprocessed padauk logs, totalling 1.14 cubic metres, as well as two vehicles used in the illegal activity and numerous tools involved in the crime. Five suspects were arrested, including two police officers, namely 58-year-old Police Officer Wichian and 54-year-old Police Officer Suthin, whose ranks remain unknown. The other suspects are 51-year-old Mr. Wichian, 50-year-old Mr. Thongchai, and 50-year-old Mr. Sombat. The authorities have taken the suspects and seized goods to the Klong Wang Chao National Park office for further investigation and have handed them over to local police at Wang Chao Police Station to face legal proceedings. Padauk wood is a valuable hardwood classified as a protected species under the Forest Act. The unauthorised felling or processing of such wood is illegal, and the high value of processed padauk wood in the black market has led to an ongoing issue of illegal logging. The price of processed padauk can reach tens of thousands of baht per cubic metre in the illicit market. Mr. Noppadol Praphong, Head of Klong Wang Chao National Park, stated that this operation aligns with the policy of Dr. Chalermchai Srion, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, who has emphasised the government’s commitment to cracking down on violations against forest resources. Investigations will continue to uncover all those involved, and no leniency will be shown, even for government officials. The authorities will also monitor illegal timber transportation routes closely. -- 2025-03-07 -

Gunfight Erupts in Bangkok’s Bang Bon Market After Domestic Dispute Between Sellers
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A violent shooting took place in the heart of Bang Bon’s bustling market in the early afternoon, leaving a fish vendor injured after being shot multiple times. The shooting, which caused panic among shoppers, is believed to have been sparked by a domestic dispute between the wives of two market vendors, a pork seller and a fish seller. At approximately 14:55 on 5th March, police responded to reports of a shooting inside the Bang Bon-Ekkachai fresh market, located on Ekkachai Road in the Bang Bon district of Bangkok. Officers arrived at the scene to find 13 spent .32 calibre shell casings scattered across the floor, along with two live rounds. The victim, identified as 43-year-old fish vendor Mr. Worawut, was found with three gunshot wounds: one to his buttocks, one to his right thigh, and another to his right chest. According to witnesses, including a shopper named Mr. Chai, the altercation began when two women, believed to be the wives of the pork and fish vendors, began arguing. Mr. Chai observed the pork vendor standing by without intervening during the heated exchange. The pork seller then allegedly encouraged the fish vendor to come over to the scene. Once the fish vendor arrived, he was shot at by the pork seller, who then fled the scene. Mr. Worawut was assisted by bystanders and rushed to Mali Hospital for treatment. Police are continuing to investigate the incident and are working to locate the shooter, who is currently on the run. -- 2025-03-07 -
