Report Chalong Landlady Faces Terror Amid Lack of Support for Unstable Neighbour
Pictures courtesy of The Phuket News Pranee Boonsawang, a 51-year-old landlady from Chalong, is desperately seeking help after over a year of harassment by her mentally unstable neighbour, amidst claims of police inaction and inadequate mental health support. Som, as she is known locally, owns an apartment complex on Soi Palai, where she and her tenants live in constant fear of 29-year-old Thiranai Chanphong, whose erratic and threatening behaviour has plagued the community since early 2024. “He screams, throws bottles, carries sticks, and threatens to burn down the building,” Som tearfully recounted in an interview. Distressed by late-night disturbances, she describes Thiranai as wandering the streets talking to himself, allegedly high on drugs or kratom. The ordeal began when Thiranai violently entered her building, prompting Som to file the first of many complaints at the Chalong Police Station. Though the police temporarily detained him, citing his drug use and mental health issues, the lack of a permanent solution has left Som and her community vulnerable. Authorities reportedly claim restrictions limit their ability to act, advising her to publicise the issue instead. In a proactive attempt to resolve the situation, Som facilitated Thiranai’s treatment at multiple hospitals, covering transportation costs herself. However, he returned a month later, resuming his troubling behaviour. "The police say there’s nothing more they can do," she lamented, as the disturbances continued to escalate. Som’s appeals for assistance, extending to the village headman and social services, foundered due to the financial burden of long-term care, estimated at 6,000 baht per month—a sum beyond Thiranai’s mother’s means. Despite offering to fund his relocation, she was told no adequate placement exists. The terror and stress have taken a significant toll on Som's wellbeing. In her plight, she expressed fear for her safety, contemplating drastic measures for self-protection. Nevertheless, Som remains hopeful for intervention from a dedicated agency to provide Thiranai with the necessary care and to safeguard the community. Without resolution, she fears for an outcome that could tragically end in violence, underscoring the urgent need for systemic support for mental health and public safety in her community.

Western Allies Warn Israel Over Gaza Offensive as Fragile Talks Resume in Doha
Aid needs to reach the people of Gaza “at speed and at volume”, Sir Keir Starmer has said, describing the current situation as “utterly intolerable”. The UK backed a UN Security Council resolution calling for Israel to lift restrictions on aid, but the move was vetoed by Donald Trump’s US. The Prime Minister called for the restoration of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the release of the remaining hostages being held by the group.
