Crime Gunfire in Nonthaburi: Former Village Headman Targeted in Drive-By Shooting
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A shooting incident unfolded in Nonthaburi on the night of 20 May, as a former village headman and prospective candidate for local government narrowly escaped death in what appears to be a politically motivated attack. At approximately 21:00, Mr. Suchart Kaewpradit 61, reported to Bang Sri Muang Police Station that he had been the target of a shooting while driving his white Toyota Yaris along Ratchaphruek Road. Mr. Suchart had just left a funeral for a former village headman at Wat Sing Thong in Pak Kret District and was en route home. As he turned left onto Rattanathibet Road, near the Bang Rak Noi MRT station, gunshots rang out. Four shots were fired in rapid succession, one of which struck the driver’s side door of Mr. Suchart’s vehicle. In fear for his life, he immediately steered into a nearby petrol station to escape further danger. From there, he proceeded to the police station to report the incident. Police inspections confirmed a bullet hole in the driver’s side door. Fortunately, Mr. Suchart was unharmed. Forensic investigators were called to examine the car and recovered a bullet lodged inside the door. The type of firearm used is currently under investigation. Mr. Suchart stated that he had no known personal conflicts and has always maintained a peaceful relationship with local residents during his tenure as headman of Bang Rak Noi Subdistrict. However, he did mention an unusual occurrence before the incident: “Just as I was about to leave the temple, someone shouted, ‘Did the headman change cars?’ I looked around but couldn’t see who said it.” He dismissed the possibility of a road rage incident, noting that traffic was orderly and other vehicles were travelling normally. While uncertain of the motive, he acknowledged that he is preparing to run for the position of Subdistrict Administrative Organisation (SAO) chairman later this year, with elections expected in six months. “The attack came without warning. If the shot had been slightly higher, it might have hit me,” he said. “I have no idea who would want to harm me. I’ve always worked to help the community.” The police have impounded Mr. Suchart’s vehicle for further forensic analysis and are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify the assailant. Investigators are working to determine whether the attack was politically motivated or linked to another cause. The case has raised alarm in the local political landscape, underscoring tensions ahead of the upcoming SAO elections. Police have vowed to bring the perpetrator to justice.

Trump ambushes South African president at White House meeting
Just another day in Washington with big Don and his ridiculous antics. You can dress a clown up in royal garments but that doesn't mean he's any less of a clown. Or maybe I meant to say a $200 blue suit from Target. -

Crime Two Chinese Fugitives Arrested at Bangkok Airport Over Multi-Billion Baht Money Laundering
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two Chinese nationals wanted under arrest warrants have been detained at Suvarnabhumi Airport in connection with a massive money laundering operation worth over 5 billion baht, involving the purchase of a hotel in Bangkok’s Silom district. Police Major General Cherngron Rimphadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, announced that the arrests followed a directive from Police Lieutenant General Panumas Boonlaks, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, to rigorously screen individuals with outstanding arrest warrants entering or leaving the country. On 20 May at around 16:00, immigration police, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Sila Phuttiraphiphan and officers from the Immigration Bureau’s Special Operations Division, apprehended the suspects shortly after their arrival at the airport to catch a flight. The suspects have been identified as: 1. Mr Zhao Chuanbo, also known as Donggua, a 41-year-old Chinese national, wanted under a Nonthaburi Provincial Court warrant (No. 665/2568, issued 15 May 2025). He faces charges of extortion, and wilfully damaging, destroying, concealing, or rendering useless a will or legal document, to the detriment of others or the public. 2. Mr Huang Jianping, aged 39, also a Chinese national, facing identical charges under warrant No. 666/2568, issued by the same court on the same date. Authorities confirmed that Mr Donggua is the subject of an Interpol red notice and had entered Thailand illegally. He is believed to be a key figure in a large-scale international money laundering syndicate. The investigation revealed that funds from China were laundered through the acquisition of a high-end hotel in Silom, Bangkok, valued at over 5 billion baht, alongside a range of other related assets. The suspects are now in custody pending extradition proceedings and further investigation into their financial network and activities within Thailand. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-22.
