Report Drive Drunk, Lose Your Car: Thailand’s OAG Pushes Tough New Proposal
File photo courtesy of Facebook Pattaya News A bold new initiative by the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) might see drunk drivers losing more than just their licence – their cars could be seized too! Renowned legal academic Pokpong Srisanit from Thammasat University has thrown his weight behind these newly introduced guidelines, suggesting that those who drive under the influence demonstrate a blatant disregard for public safety, warranting such stringent measures. Mr Pokpong, dean of the Faculty of Law, asserts that confiscation is justified when there’s clear intent to break the law. Driving over the legal alcohol limit clearly falls into this category, he explains, making violators eligible for asset forfeiture. However, he cautions that such stringent actions should only apply to serious or repeated offences, similar to laws in France where vehicle seizure is reserved for repeat offenders or where accidents result in severe consequences. Consistency is the magic word for meaningful deterrence, according to Mr Pokpong. He warns that without unwavering enforcement, these measures could fail, potentially muddied by corruption. To bolster transparency, he urges mandatory use of police cameras at checkpoints. In a twist, car owners unknowingly lending their vehicles to intoxicated drivers could reclaim them, but knowingly enabling such behaviour would mean losing the vehicle for good. Complementing this, Deputy Government Spokesman Karom Phonpornklang emphasises the need for prosecutors to charge offenders under Section 43 of the Land Traffic Act, for reckless driving. Harsh words indeed, but they might just be what’s needed to jolt drivers into staying off the road when they've had one too many. In a noteworthy step, Thailand's judicial system aims at reducing fatalities by hitting offenders where it hurts – their cherished cars. The move decisively shifts focus to preventing future incidents by ensuring serious consequences for taking such dangerous risks. While the proposal is receiving praise for its potential impact, only time and consistent enforcement will determine its true effectiveness. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-16 -

Crime Tattoo Artist Fatally Stabbed at Temple Fair in Nakhon Ratchasima
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A well-known local tattoo artist was stabbed to death in a frenzied knife attack during a temple fair, shocking onlookers and causing widespread panic among festivalgoers. Police have arrested the suspected attacker, who is reportedly a notorious figure in the local community. The incident occurred at approximately 22:15 on 14 June during a celebration at Wat Ban Khumuang in Banlang Subdistrict, Nakhon Ratchasima. The festival was held in honour of Buddhist scriptural studies. The victim, identified as Mr. Opas, 37, a tattoo artist in the area, was found lying in a pool of blood near a vendor stall, having sustained five stab wounds, three to the left rib cage, one below the right breast and one to the neck. According to police, Mr. Opas had been in conversation with the suspect, known as Mr. Tu from Ban Kradan village, outside the temple hall. The meeting was reportedly intended to resolve a personal dispute, but quickly escalated into a heated argument. Mr. Tu allegedly placed the victim in a chokehold and stabbed him multiple times with a knife he had brought with him. Despite his injuries, Mr. Opas managed to break free and run, collapsing in front of a food stall as horrified villagers screamed in panic. Mr. Tu fled the scene, discarding the weapon about 20 metres away from the site before escaping on a motorcycle. Police and rescue personnel from Hook 31 emergency services responded swiftly. Forensic officers collected the bloodstained knife as evidence. Within hours, investigators from Non Thai Police Station tracked Mr. Tu to his home in Banlang and took him into custody. During interrogation, Mr. Tu confessed to the murder, telling police he acted out of deep resentment, claiming that Mr. Opas, once a friend, had betrayed him, leading to their fallout. He now faces charges of murder and carrying a weapon in a public place. Investigators also revealed that Mr. Tu has a criminal record, having served prison time for a previous homicide conviction in 2010. After his release, he briefly joined the military before returning home, where he gained a reputation as a local troublemaker. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-16 -
