Man Claiming to Be Special Forces Grabs Officer’s Gun, Shoots 2 in Bangkok Condo Incident
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A dramatic incident unfolded late morning on 10 July, in central Bangkok when a man claiming to be a member of a special forces unit seized a police officer’s firearm and discharged it, injuring two officers at a condominium complex on Ratchada Soi 16 in Din Daeng district. At approximately 11:00, officers from Sutthisan Police Station responded to reports of a man behaving erratically in a garden area within the condo premises. Upon arrival, officers encountered a 26-year-old man, later identified as Mr. Jirasak, who claimed he was affiliated with an elite military unit. Officers noted that he appeared intoxicated and attempted to calmly escort him to the local police station for questioning. During the interaction, the suspect suddenly lunged at one of the patrol officers and managed to grab his firearm. In the ensuing struggle, two shots were fired. One bullet struck the officer’s protective vest near the left chest, while another grazed the upper left arm of a fellow officer. The injured officers, Police Lance Corporal Waradon Thirathanaboon and Police Lance Corporal Jirayut Racha-art, both of Sutthisan Police Station, were quickly transported to Police General Hospital. Fortunately, neither suffered life-threatening injuries. Following the gunfire, reinforcements were called in, and the suspect was subdued and taken into custody without further incident. He is now being questioned at Sutthisan Police Station as investigations continue. Authorities are working to determine the mental state and motive of the suspect, as well as whether he has any verifiable connection to any official military unit.

Crime Authorities Seize Nearly 4,000 Rai of Illegally Occupied National Park Land in Hua Hin
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities have launched a crackdown on illegal land encroachment in Prachuap Khiri Khan, seizing more than 3,900 rai of state-owned and national park land allegedly occupied by the “Rai Hub Phueng” mango plantation in Hua Hin district. The case is set to be transferred to Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation (DSI) for further legal action as a special case. The operation, which took place between 8–9 July, was led by Mr Atthaphon Charoenchansa, Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. A multi-agency team, including representatives from Kaeng Krachan National Park, the Royal Thai Army, anti-corruption police and the Treasury Department, jointly investigated the plantation located in Nong Phlap subdistrict. Initial findings indicate extensive illegal occupation of land within Kaeng Krachan National Park and government property under land code Por Kor 605, amounting to a combined area of approximately 3,952 rai. The investigation revealed that multiple plots were claimed using suspicious land documents (Nor Sor 3 Kor) and in some cases, no legal ownership documents existed at all. Officials identified and filed charges against 15 individuals, including Mr Sirirot, a director of a private company managing the plantation and other stakeholders. Charges include violations under the National Park Act (2019), the Forest Act (1941), the State Property Act (2019), the Thai Navigation Act (1913), and the Land Code. Mr Mongkol Chaiphakdee, Chief of Kaeng Krachan National Park, stated that the landowners had previously submitted documentation claiming legal ownership. However, following an analysis of aerial images and document cross-checks, it was found that certain Nor Sor 3 Kor titles were likely issued fraudulently. The Department of Lands is currently reviewing these titles for revocation. Investigators also found evidence of significant land alterations including hill excavation, landfilling and unauthorised infrastructure development such as telephone towers, all of which would require official permits. The alleged encroachment may also involve local officials, who could face scrutiny from the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC). As the size of the encroached land exceeds 100 rai, the case qualifies for DSI investigation under special case criteria, giving the department broader powers than the national park or regular police authorities. Mr Atthaphon reiterated that this operation aligns with the government’s commitment to combat forest encroachment and preserve Thailand’s natural resources. He cited direct orders from Dr Chalermchai Sri-on, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, to intensify enforcement efforts against forest land violations and illegal logging. “This enforcement sends a clear message, those who destroy our forests will be brought to justice. The state will act decisively to reclaim our natural heritage,” Mr Atthaphon declared. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-11 -
