Accident Man Decapitated After Volvo Slams into Lorry in Pathum Thani
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 25-year-old man was tragically killed in the early hours of 8 June after his Volvo sedan crashed into the rear of a ten-wheeler lorry carrying glass bottles. The collision, which occurred at a traffic light junction in Pathum Thani province, resulted in the driver being decapitated on impact. At around 03:30, Pol. Sub-Lt. Sahasawat Sopha from Suan Phrik Thai Police Station responded to the scene at the Ban Klang traffic lights on Rangsit-Pathum Thani Road. He was joined by forensic doctors from the Ministry of Justice, traffic police and rescue volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. At the scene, officers found a Hino 10-wheeled lorry, registered in Nong Bua Lamphu province, stationary in the middle of the intersection. A Volvo sedan, registered in Bangkok, was wedged halfway under the lorry’s rear. Inside the wrecked vehicle, police discovered the body of the male driver, who had been decapitated by the force of the collision. His severed head was found on the back seat. The lorry driver, 58-year-old Mr Prayoon remained at the scene to cooperate with police. He told officers he had been delivering bottles from Chonburi to a recycling facility in central Pathum Thani. As he approached the intersection, he said he was slowly rolling through when he heard a loud crash at the rear of his truck. His wife, who was seated beside him, was thrown against the front windshield by the impact. Upon inspecting the scene, he discovered the Volvo had rammed into his vehicle without any apparent attempt to brake. The victim’s father later arrived at the scene, devastated. He explained that his son had been returning home to Bang Kadi after visiting friends in the Bangkok University area. Police recorded the scene as evidence and arranged for the deceased’s body to be sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Ministry of Justice for further examination. Relatives will be contacted to collect the body for funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-09 -

Analysis Thaksin's Triple Trouble: Pheu Thai Faces High-Stakes Challenges
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra arrives at the office of narcotics control board in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday, May 27, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) This week's political spotlight in Thailand centres around three major events tied to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, posing potential threats to the stability of the Pheu Thai-led government. On the agenda are critical meetings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that might test the resilience of key national institutions and the government's credibility. The first of these pivotal events is the Medical Council of Thailand's (MCT) meeting, set to take place on June 12. Members will vote on whether to uphold their disciplinary actions against three doctors accused of misusing their positions to benefit Thaksin. Previously, they helped facilitate Thaksin's hospital stay instead of him serving his sentence in prison. While the MCT originally suspended the licences of two doctors and issued a warning to another, Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin vetoed these decisions, raising questions about political interference. The MCT's reaffirmation of their initial resolution could signal a stand against political pressure. The next day, the Supreme Court is scheduled to commence its inquiry into the Department of Corrections' decision to allow Thaksin's confinement in a hospital rather than a prison cell. This investigation seeks to determine whether undue privileges were extended to Thaksin, shedding light on potential biases in the justice system. Questions around the legitimacy of Thaksin's hospitalisation, possible misconduct by officials, and the former prime minister's potential court appearance are all areas of interest. These proceedings could set significant legal precedents regarding the treatment of political figures within the judicial system. Capping off the series of events is the June 14 Thai–Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) meeting in Phnom Penh. This gathering follows heightened military tensions after a deadly border clash in late May. Accusations between Thai and Cambodian forces have escalated nationalistic sentiments, complicating diplomatic efforts. Thai military officials accuse Cambodia of territorial breaches, prompting tighter border controls. The government's approach, perceived by some as lenient due to Thaksin's historical ties with former Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen, is under scrutiny. The outcome of the JBC meeting may influence Thailand's geopolitical stance and domestic confidence in the government's leadership. Collectively, these events highlight the complex interplay of legal, political, and international pressures circling Thaksin and his impactful legacy on current Thai politics.
