They were charged for "public solicitation for prostitution in a manner deemed open, shameful, or disturbing to the public" and "handed over to the Chonburi Social Development and Human Security Office..." I suppose for their social development to learn how to solicit more discreetly and less shamefully?

A crash occurred on the morning of 27 December 2024, as the ‘10 Days of Danger’ road safety campaign kicked off in Chachoengsao, leading to one fatality on the Motorway Route 7. The incident involved a collision between two container trucks.
At approximately 05:15, police received reports of a crash involving two articulated trucks, a 22-wheel container truck and an 18-wheel truck, at a rest area on the inbound side of the motorway, near kilometre 49+800-900 in the Kaodin area of Bang Pakong district. Officers responded to the scene and confirmed the death of one individual, while another sustained injuries.
The crash occurred after the first container truck, a white UD model with a red container, had initially collided with the rear of a pickup truck. The truck was then parked on the hard shoulder for insurance negotiators to arrive. As the driver of the truck was inspecting the vehicle, another 18-wheel truck collided with the rear of the stationary vehicle, crushing the victim, identified as 46-year-old Chaiyana Jaikla from Chonburi. The impact was so severe that the victim’s body was pinned under the chassis of the truck, resulting in an instant death at the scene.
The driver of the second truck, Visanu Wongrod, 37, from Nakhon Sawan, was slightly injured in the collision. He was rescued from his vehicle by volunteers from the Chachoengsao Rescue Foundation, who used hydraulic tools to free him from the wreckage. Visanu, who had been driving from Laem Chabang, Chonburi, was en route to Samut Sakhon at the time of the crash. He reported that he did not see the stopped vehicle in time, as it was still early morning, and attempted to brake, but the heavy load of his truck prevented him from stopping in time.
Following the accident, Visanu was tested for alcohol use, and authorities will proceed with an investigation to determine whether driving under the influence was a factor.
Traffic in the area was severely disrupted, with a long queue of vehicles stretching for several kilometres as authorities cleared the wreckage and investigated the cause of the collision. Local police have launched an inquiry into the sequence of events and are continuing to piece together the details of this devastating crash.

Wild Elephant Herd Threatens Crops in Nakhon Ratchasima
In a concerted effort to protect local farmers’ crops, park rangers and villagers in Nakhon Ratchasima have been on high alert as a herd of wild elephants, estimated to number up to 100, attempts to encroach on farmland near the Thap Lan National Park. The elephants are reportedly trying to enter the Khao Khat valley, a national forest reserve located between the park and local farming areas.

In a concerted effort to protect local farmers’ crops, park rangers and villagers in Nakhon Ratchasima have been on high alert as a herd of wild elephants, estimated to number up to 100, attempts to encroach on farmland near the Thap Lan National Park. The elephants are reportedly trying to enter the Khao Khat valley, a national forest reserve located between the park and local farming areas.
On the night of 26 December, Phawatthasart Chanthep, the head of Thap Lan National Park, led a patrol of rangers and volunteer networks to prevent the herd from moving further into the area. The elephants are believed to have left the protected park and are attempting to establish a temporary habitat in the valley, which is rich in resources such as water and shelter, and lies adjacent to agricultural land.
If the elephants succeed in making Khao Khat valley their temporary home, the potential damage to farmers’ crops could be devastating. With harvests ready for collection, the intrusion could cause extensive harm, as was seen last year when a similar herd inhabited the valley for several months, wreaking havoc on local crops and causing significant losses.
Drone surveillance has confirmed the presence of the herd along the forest boundary between the villages of Ban Mai and Chao Khian, prompting immediate action from the authorities. Rangers and volunteers have been working tirelessly through the night to push the elephants back into the forest, preventing further damage. This ongoing effort has been in place for the past four months, with the herd consistently attempting to breach the boundaries.
Despite the challenges, the collaboration between the volunteer groups and the local community has remained strong. Thanks to their combined efforts, the herd has yet to reach the valley and cause significant destruction, providing some relief for the farmers in the area. However, the situation remains tense, and authorities are committed to continuing their vigilance to ensure the safety of both the local population and the elephants.
