Crime Malaysian Suspect in Massive Online Gambling Syndicate Arrested at Don Mueang Airport
Picture courtesy of Amarin Immigration officers at Don Mueang International Airport have apprehended a major suspect linked to the notorious online gambling network HYDRA888, which is believed to have handled over 11.5 billion baht in financial transactions over the past year. The suspect, identified as Steven Choong Seng Lok, a 26-year-old Malaysian national, was arrested on 9 July, upon arrival in Bangkok from Kuala Lumpur via AirAsia flight AK890. Authorities had received prior intelligence that a high-profile individual wanted in connection with HYDRA888 would be entering the country through Don Mueang. A special investigation team was deployed to intercept the suspect at the aircraft’s exit gate. Mr Choong was detained under Nonthaburi Provincial Court Arrest Warrant No. 1300/2567, issued on 16 December 2024. The charges include: • Organising illegal online gambling activities • Conspiring with others to commit the offence of money laundering, and • Engaging in money laundering as a result of that conspiracy. Investigators revealed that Mr Choong is the owner of a company that acted as a front for funneling vast sums of money generated by HYDRA888, an illegal online gambling website. The network allegedly processed transactions totalling more than 11.52 billion baht over the course of a single year. Following his arrest, Mr Choong was transferred to the Technology Crime Suppression Division 2 (TCSD 2) for further legal proceedings. This operation forms part of Thailand’s ongoing crackdown on transnational cybercrime and online gambling rings, many of which are believed to involve foreign nationals and complex money laundering operations.

When COVID19 came in and I told friends back in US that we are told to practice social distancing in Thailand, they said: You should be good at social distancing. You've been practicing that for years. -

Accident Boy 10, Rescued After Hand Trapped in Noodle-Making Machine in Phuket
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 10-year-old boy has been rescued after his left hand became trapped in a noodle-making machine at a shop in Koh Kaew Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phuket Province. The incident occurred around 12:35 on 9 July, when the Kusoldharm Foundation’s emergency response centre in Phuket received an urgent call from the Andaman Narenthorn Centre (1669) requesting assistance. The report stated that a child’s hand was stuck inside noodle-processing equipment at a local noodle shop. Rescue personnel from the Koh Kaew Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, together with an advanced EMS team from Mission Hospital Phuket, were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the young boy, identified only as “Master B” (name withheld for privacy), conscious but visibly distressed. His left hand was tightly wedged in the noodle-making apparatus. Medical staff from Mission Hospital provided initial treatment, including pain management and IV fluid administration, while waiting for rescue workers to arrive. Fortunately, after a careful assessment, rescuers determined that hydraulic cutting tools were not necessary. Instead, they were able yo manually rotated the machine’s pulley system to release the boy’s hand. The rescue operation took approximately 20 minutes. Once freed, it was discovered that several of the boy’s fingers were fractured and lacerated. He was given immediate first aid at the scene before being transported to Vachira Phuket Hospital for further treatment. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-10
