I have an issue I would like to discuss with the Chiang Mai tourist police them and I don't want to do it on the phone. I also cannot do it at a "street" stand since it is a long story. Is there a place where I can go talk to them in an office-type setting?

At the foot of Doi Suthep, roughly across from the zoo entrance, is what must be their CM headquarters. A largish building, well marked. If I were you I would go there (not today, 23 Oct, a holiday).

That, or a similar car, was yesterday at a big Temple close to where I live. It seems a VIP is in town. It may be Royal Family, but I'm not sure.

Cynicism aside, I've addressed them (in another office, now closed) twice and found their assistance (as has been my experience with Immigration) excellent - English language too. Of course, one is calm and polite. I doubt that anyone with "an attitude" such as anger or indignation is likely to prosper.

      Nakhon Phanom Man Seriously Injured After Chemical Drum Explosion

      Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 57-year-old rice mill owner from Nakhon Phanom was left in critical condition after a 200-litre chemical drum he was cutting exploded violently, injuring him in front of his children. Emergency services were called to Ban Don Daeng, Moo 9, in Kam Toei Subdistrict at around 11:00 on 3 May, following reports of an explosion involving an unidentified drum. Responders from Kam Toei Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and staff from Nakhon Phanom Hospital rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency teams found the remains of a blue chemical drum with its lid blown open and the base severely dented. Nearby were fragments of a metal-cutting wheel, a damaged angle grinder, a pair of sandals, and a pool of blood. The victim, identified as Mr Thani Sonpaeng, 57, had sustained severe facial and neck injuries and was rendered unconscious. His youngest son rushed him to Nakhon Phanom Hospital, where he was immediately taken into intensive care for emergency surgery. Doctors later discovered a brain haemorrhage and arranged for his transfer to Sakhon Nakhon Hospital for further treatment. Mr Thani’s daughter, Ms Piyanuch Sonpaeng, 31, recounted the moment. “I was resting in a hammock when I heard a deafening bang. I ran out and saw my father unconscious and covered in blood,” she said tearfully. Ms Piyanuch had only just returned home after undergoing uterine surgery the day before. Family members and neighbours confirmed that Mr Thani had recently purchased the drum from a local dealer and was attempting to repurpose it into a charcoal-burning stove. He was reportedly using a grinder to cut open the drum without first venting or emptying it, which likely caused residual vapours inside to ignite. One witness stated: “He didn’t open the cap before cutting into the drum. There was still either gas or chemical residue inside. White liquid-like substances spilled out after the blast.” Mr Thani’s wife, Mrs Liang Sonpaeng, 57, who was working in the fields at the time of the explosion, was devastated upon learning of the accident. “I came home to find my husband had already been taken to hospital. I hugged my daughter and broke down crying. It was all too much,” she said. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-05.

      Former Bangkok Technical Student Arrested After 10 Years on the Run for Attempted Murder

      Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A former technical school student wanted in connection with a violent gang-related shooting over a decade ago has been arrested in Bangkok after eluding justice for more than 10 years. Police from Thailand’s Crime Suppression Division apprehended Mr. Natthawut 29, in Soi Liap Wari 29, in the Nong Chok district of Bangkok, acting on an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Min Buri Provincial Court in July 2014. The charges include attempted murder, illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause, and discharging a firearm in a public place. According to police, the incident occurred 11 years ago when the suspect, then a student at a well-known vocational school in the Bang Kapi area, became involved in a violent altercation with a rival group from a technical college in Min Buri. Riding a motorcycle, Mr. Natthawut and his accomplices pursued their rivals from Ramkhamhaeng Road to Seri Thai Road in the Bueng Kum district. During the chase, he allegedly fired a shot that struck a student from the opposing group in the left side of the chest. The victim survived the attack but sustained serious injuries. Due to the bullet lodging dangerously close to vital organs, surgeons were unable to remove it. Following the attack, the victim reported the incident to police once his condition stabilised, leading to an arrest warrant being issued for Mr. Natthawut. Investigators recently tracked him down to the Nong Chok area, where he had reportedly been living under the radar. Upon his arrest, Mr. Natthawut admitted he was the person named in the warrant but declined to comment further on the incident. He was subsequently transferred to Bueng Kum Police Station for legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-05.
