Accident Woman Dies After Brit’s Stunt Crash in Pattaya
Pictures courtesy of SiamChon. A British man is expected to face new charges after a Thai woman, who was left critically injured in a motorbike crash, allegedly caused by his reckless riding, has died in hospital. The fatal crash occurred on Soi Bongkot 8 in Pattaya on the night of 14 August, when witnesses reported seeing the foreigner performing dangerous stunts and wheelies on a motorbike before colliding with the victim, who had been riding along the same road. The Thai woman, whose identity is being withheld, sustained severe injuries and was rushed to a local hospital, where she remained in critical condition for several days. Despite doctors’ efforts, it was confirmed on the afternoon of 17 August that she had passed away. The British suspect initially denied all wrongdoing when questioned by police, but multiple eyewitness accounts, together with CCTV footage from the scene, directly contradicted his statement. Authorities confirmed that the rider’s passport has been flagged, meaning he cannot leave Thailand while the investigation and legal proceedings are ongoing. Police say the man had already been facing significant charges relating to reckless driving and endangerment, as well as owing compensation to the victim and her family. With her death, prosecutors are expected to upgrade the charges, which could include causing death by dangerous driving under, a crime that carries far more severe penalties. Local residents have expressed anger and frustration at the incident, describing the victim as an innocent road user whose life was cut short by irresponsible behaviour. Social media has also seen a surge of criticism, with calls for stricter enforcement against reckless riding and harsher punishments for foreign offenders in Thailand. Police officials in Pattaya confirmed that the case remains under active investigation and that a full report will be forwarded to prosecutors once all evidence has been reviewed. The suspect remains on bail but under strict legal conditions.

Report Thais Lose Faith in Political Parties as Hope Fades, Poll Shows
File photo for reference only. Courtesy of Wikipedia A recent survey conducted by Thailand's National Institute of Development Administration reveals a staggering loss of confidence among Thais in both government and opposition political parties. The survey reveals deepening frustration among Thais with political leadership and was conducted with 1,310 participants across the country from August 13 to 14. Hope in Political Parties: Completely hopeless: 41.91% Somewhat hopeless: 34.19% Some degree of hope: 20.92% Very hopeful: 2.98% Satisfaction with Constituency MPs: Not very satisfied: 32.29% Not satisfied at all: 28.24% Fairly satisfied: 27.18% Very satisfied: 11.60% Did not answer: 0.69% Re-election of Current Constituency MPs: Would not vote again: 50.69% Undecided: 25.57% Would support the same candidate: 23.74% Support for Party-list MPs: Would not support the same parties: 40.46% Would support the same parties: 29.47% Uncertain: 26.95% Never voted or did not vote: 3.12% This survey highlights a challenging time for Thai political parties, as public trust and satisfaction dwindle. Such figures could indicate a significant change in the country’s political landscape, requiring reflection and strategic adjustments from those in power.

Picture courtesy of Daily News. Police in Nonthaburi raided an upmarket housing estate in the early hours of the morning, arresting 29 people caught playing the illegal card game Kao Kaew. The raid, which took place at around 01.30 on 17 August, was led by Pol Col Somchai Jangthamma, superintendent of Bang Srimuang Police Station. Officers swooped on a private residence in the Tha It area of Sai Ma subdistrict, Mueang district, following intelligence provided by an informant. All those present were detained, comprising three identified as bankers and 26 players. Seized at the scene were six packs of cards, 4,900 baht in cash, mobile phones, CCTV equipment, e-cigarettes and a variety of gambling paraphernalia. Pol Col Somchai explained that the group did not operate a permanent gambling den but instead met periodically by arrangement, with participants drawn mostly from Nonthaburi and neighbouring Thonburi. Charges of illegal gambling have been filed against all 29 suspects. Bail was set at 30,000 baht for each banker and 10,000 baht for each player. Authorities stressed that crackdowns on illicit gambling will continue, particularly in residential areas where residents have voiced concerns about security and disturbance.
