Community Man Found Dead After Domestic Dispute, Wife Discovers Body After Two Days
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 42-year-old man was found dead in his bedroom in Samut Prakan after an apparent suicide, two days after a domestic argument with his wife. The discovery was made when his wife, concerned by his prolonged silence, climbed a power pole to peer into the room and was shocked to find his lifeless body. Police from Mueang Samut Prakan Police Station, along with forensic officers, rescue workers and medical personnel, responded to reports of a deceased individual at a townhouse in the area. Upon arrival, they found the body of Mr. Supakit lying on his back on the bed in a state of early decomposition. A gunshot wound was found on his temple, and a revolver, believed to be a pen gun registered to the deceased, was discovered nearby with a spent casing still in the chamber. According to his 37-year-old wife, the couple had a quarrel over dinner, following a period of frequent disagreements over the past two weeks. She stated that although arguments were not unusual, they typically reconciled soon afterwards. However, when her husband entered his room that night, she later heard a loud noise but assumed he had thrown something in frustration. Concern grew when he failed to leave the room the following day. Their child knocked on the door to ask if he would drive them somewhere, as he usually did, but received no response. It wasn’t until 22 June, 2 days later, that the wife decided to investigate more closely. Unable to gain entry, she climbed a power pole and looked through a window, where she discovered his body. “I didn’t think he would ever do something like this,” she said tearfully. “He went to work every day, he was responsible. I just thought he needed space.” Police have recorded the incident and collected evidence from the scene. The body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities as they continue their investigation, although early indications point towards suicide. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-23 -

Report Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
True, in order to get an IDP you need to have a valid driving licence from your own country, you have to use that IDP until it expires in Thailand, When I arrived in Thailand I was able to use the IDP for a year (in the case of a UK produced IDP) you are not allowed to use your own countries driving licence, then the British licence was used to get a Thai driving licence, the IDP is not exchanged for a Thai licence, the British licence was used as you stated above. There was a German national with a German driving licence and the problem was it had not been translated into English, so that is an extra step for a non-English translated licence. -

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk
Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows. The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring. It will come into effect pending a final decision by Iran’s Supreme Council. https://nypost.com/2025/06/22/world-news/iran-orders-closure-of-strait-of-hormuz-putting-one-fifth-of-worlds-oil-supply-at-risk/ If anything good comes out of President Trump's mistake, it will be the end of the American people's support of Israel. -

Crime Man Caught at Petrol Station with Nearly 2,000 E-Cigarettes
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 28-year-old man has been arrested at a petrol station in Bangkok for illegally transporting and distributing nearly 2,000 disposable e-cigarettes, which he was delivering to customers across the Chokchai area based on online orders. The arrest was made by officers from the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Investigation Division on 21 June at around 16:30. The suspect, Mr. Somchai, was apprehended at a Shell petrol station on Nakniwat Road in Lat Phrao District. Police seized 1,950 disposable e-cigarettes as evidence. Acting on intelligence that an illicit e-cigarette delivery was planned at the location, investigators from the 2nd Investigation Unit of the Metropolitan Police laid in wait. They observed a Toyota Fortuner (registration from Bangkok) pull into the car park, shortly followed by a Mitsubishi Pajero (registration 5 also from Bangkok). Mr. Somchai was seen unloading 20 brown cardboard boxes from the Toyota into the Mitsubishi. Officers approached and identified themselves, then proceeded to inspect the boxes. Inside, they discovered over 1,000 disposable e-cigarettes. Upon questioning, Mr. Somchai confessed to being in possession of the e-cigarettes and claimed he was acting under orders from a man known as “Mr. Chai”, with whom he had communicated via the LINE messaging application. He explained that he had collected the items from a logistics company’s driver and was in the process of delivering them to various drop-off points as directed. He was charged with two serious offences: 1. Violating consumer protection regulations by selling goods banned by the Consumer Protection Board, specifically disposable e-cigarettes and related liquid refills, in breach of Order No. 24/2567. 2. Possessing and distributing prohibited goods, in violation of Section 246 of the Customs Act B.E. 2560 (2017), for knowingly dealing in items banned from import into the Kingdom of Thailand. Mr. Somchai and the seized goods were handed over to investigators at Chokchai Police Station for further legal proceedings. Authorities confirmed they are expanding the investigation to identify and apprehend others involved in the broader e-cigarette trafficking network. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-23
