Crime Vietnamese Fishing Boats Seized for Illegally Entering Thai Waters off Narathiwat
Pictures courtesy of CIB In a maritime operation, The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), through the Marine Police Division, has intercepted and detained two Vietnamese fishing vessels illegally operating in Thai territorial waters off the coast of Narathiwat province. A total of 15 Vietnamese nationals were arrested on multiple charges, including: 1. Illegal entry into the Kingdom of Thailand via an unauthorised route, 2. Unlawful stay in the country without permission, 3. Engaging in unauthorised commercial fishing within Thai waters, and 4. Operating unregistered (stateless) fishing vessels. The arrest was made approximately 21 nautical miles east of the Bang Nara estuary, in an area aligned with Tambon Bang Nak, Mueang District, Narathiwat Province. Marine Police patrol boat Pathumwan 2 (817) was dispatched after authorities received intelligence of unidentified vessels engaged in unauthorised fishing in Thai waters. Upon locating and boarding the two vessels, officers found that none of the crew could speak Thai or produce identification or documentation. A subsequent investigation with the help of an interpreter confirmed that all on board were Vietnamese nationals and that the vessels were operating without permission or registration. Authorities seized the two fishing boats, along with their illegal catch of various fish and sea cucumbers, as evidence. The operation was conducted under the directive of Pol. Lt. Gen. Jiraphop Phuridech, Commissioner of the CIB, alongside Pol. Maj. Gen. Setsathit Nippaya, Commander of the Marine Police Division. The suspects were formally charged and transferred to Mueang Narathiwat Police Station for legal proceedings. The CIB reiterated its commitment to safeguarding Thailand’s maritime sovereignty, stressing that illegal incursions into Thai waters will not be tolerated.

Accident Lightning Strike Injures Two Women at Rocket Festival
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A festive rocket-launching ceremony turned to panic when a lightning strike injured two women during a sudden storm at Wat Rattananettaram, also known locally as Wat Lan Hoy, in Nadi District, Prachinburi Province. The dramatic incident occurred on the afternoon of 4 May during a traditional Bun Bang Fai (rocket festival) event. Video clips posted on social media captured the moment lightning struck near the music stage, knocking two women unconscious as rain and strong winds swept through the area. One of the injured, identified as Ms Orapin Seesongcram, sustained only minor injuries and returned home after the incident. The second victim, Ms Orawan, 35, suffered more serious injuries with burns and pain across both shoulders. She was rushed to Nadi Hospital by local volunteers from the Sajja Phutthatham Foundation. According to Ms Orawan’s husband, Mr Somkuan 37, his wife had travelled to the event with a music troupe, bringing along their two sons aged 9 and 2. During the storm, while she stood near the stage and the younger child rested in a cradle, the lightning bolt struck within the immediate vicinity, causing her to collapse. “She was standing next to the music stage when the storm hit. Suddenly, lightning struck and she fell unconscious. It was terrifying,” Mr Somkuan recounted. Doctors have confirmed that Ms Orawan is now in stable condition, though she is experiencing persistent pain in her shoulders. She is expected to remain under observation at the hospital for a couple of days. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-06. -
