Border Desperate Thai Man Drinks Toilet Cleaner at Poipet Immigration Post
Picture courtesy of Daily News A 40-year-old Thai man was rushed to hospital in critical condition after drinking toilet cleaner in an apparent suicide attempt at the Poipet immigration checkpoint in Cambodia. The man, identified as Mr Thanawat from Pathum Thani province, was unable to afford the 10,000 baht overstay fine required to return to Thailand, prompting his desperate act. Security sources reported that although Mr Thanawat possessed valid travel documents, he had been living in Cambodia for over a year. On the morning of July 11, he attempted to cross back into Thailand via the Poipet border but was told he must first pay the fine. Lacking the necessary funds, he reportedly consumed toilet cleaner in the checkpoint’s bathroom, collapsing soon after. Cambodian authorities quickly contacted Thai officials, who facilitated his return under humanitarian grounds. Rescue volunteers from the Aranyaprathet Foundation met him at the midpoint of the Klong Luek border bridge and rushed him to Aranyaprathet Hospital for emergency gastric treatment. As of the latest reports, he remains in hospital under close medical supervision. In a related development, Thai authorities confirmed the return of four more Thai nationals from Cambodia, coordinated through the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh. Two Thai men voluntarily requested assistance from the embassy to return home. Mr Koson, 30, had been working for an online gambling platform, while Mr Therdpong, 24, was employed as an electrician at a casino in Pailin province. Both men had entered Cambodia legally. Two young Thai women, Ms Matchima, 21 and Ms Aranya Iamsaree, 18, both from Loei province, were also repatriated. They had attempted to illegally cross into Cambodia to work in online gambling operations but were arrested by Cambodian immigration authorities. All four individuals were handed over to Thai officials after checks confirmed no outstanding arrest warrants or criminal proceedings against them. Meanwhile, in a separate incident during the early hours of the same day, a Thai border patrol unit under the Aranyaprathet Task Force apprehended three Cambodian nationals, one man and two women, attempting to illegally re-enter Cambodia via a natural trail behind the Big C supermarket near Rong Kluea Market. Upon questioning, it was discovered the trio had been informal vendors at the market but were forced to leave due to poor economic conditions and declining sales. They had no legal travel documents and were attempting to return home without passing through official checkpoints. Border tensions and undocumented migration remain key challenges along the Thai-Cambodian frontier, as economic hardship and law enforcement crackdowns continue to affect both Thai and Cambodian nationals.

Accident Teenager Killed in High-Speed Crash with Lorry
Picture courtesy of SiamRath. A 17-year-old boy has died after crashing his motorcycle into the rear of a lorry in the early hours of the morning of 12 July, leaving his devastated father in tears at the scene. The fatal accident occurred at around 14:00 on Phahonyothin Road inbound, near kilometre marker 37+636 opposite Bangkok University, in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province. Police investigator Pol. Lt. Anusorn Wiangsima from Khlong Luang Police Station arrived at the scene with traffic officers, forensic doctors from Thammasat University Hospital and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. The victim, identified as Mr Pongthep, aged 17 and a local resident of Khlong Luang, was found lying deceased in the middle of the road. Around 50 metres away, a grey Honda Giorno motorcycle, without a licence plate, was discovered wedged into the back of a stationary white Hino 10-wheeled lorry, registration from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. The lorry driver, Mr Prawit, 43, was present and waiting for police. He stated that he had been travelling in the middle lane when a motorcycle overtook him. Moments later, he heard a loud bang and saw smoke rising from the rear of his vehicle. Believing he had a tyre blowout, he pulled over. He was en route from Wang Noi to Bang Phli in Samut Prakan. In a twist, several motorists who stopped to assist narrowly avoided serious injuries themselves. Four people were injured during the incident, including three men attempting to direct traffic away from the fallen rider, both of whom were hit by motorcycles. Among the injured was the rider of a Honda PCX and the rider of a black Honda Giorno. All injured parties were transported by rescue teams to Paolo Rangsit 2 and Seekan Hospitals. Poh Teck Tung rescue worker Sgt. Chatchai Jadrith, confirmed that the scene involved multiple collisions and a fatality. He noted the brave efforts of a taxi driver who had also stopped and attempted to help manage traffic before being struck himself. Police have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. The lorry driver, Mr Prawit, was taken to Khlong Luang Police Station for further questioning. The father of the deceased arrived at the scene and broke down in anguish upon seeing his son’s body. The boy’s mother later said she had no idea where her son had gone that night and only learned of the accident from one of his friends. Mr Pongthep’s body was transported to Thammasat University Hospital’s forensic unit. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamRath 2025-07-13 -

Crime Chinese & Thai Nationals Arrested for Armed Robbery of Chinese Businessman in Pattaya
Picture courtesy of ที่นี่ พัทยา A swift and coordinated police operation has led to the arrest of four suspects, two Chinese nationals and two Thais, who kidnapped and robbed a fellow Chinese businessman in Pattaya. The authorities have confirmed that the group falsely claimed to be police officers in order to carry out the crime. The incident occurred at around 05:30 on 10 July, when 52-year-old Chinese national Mr. Lin Yifan was abducted outside a Chinese noodle shop off Pattaya North Road, Moo 6, Chonburi Province. The assailants forced him into a white BYD SUV, which at the time had no visible licence plates. While in the vehicle, the victim was reportedly threatened at gunpoint and had his hands bound behind his back. The attackers then robbed him of all his possessions, including his mobile phone and a large sum of cash. He was later dumped on the side of the railway road near Soi Chaiyapruek 2, approximately 9 kilometres from the scene of the abduction. After managing to contact someone for help, Mr. Lin discovered that over 150,000 baht had also been transferred from his Chinese bank account via a mobile application. In total, he was robbed of more than 230,000 baht in cash and assets. Following intensive investigations led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Yingyos Thepchamnong, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 2, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Thawatchakiat Jindakornsanong, Chonburi Provincial Police Commander, officers from multiple agencies including the Immigration Bureau, Tourist Police Bureau, and Pattaya City Police tracked the suspects using CCTV footage. The vehicle used in the crime, a white BYD registered in Bangkok (licence plate 5KYa-3463), was later located at a residence in Min Buri District, Bangkok. Four suspects were subsequently identified and arrested: 1. Mr. Longding Han, 37, Chinese national 2. Mr. Zhangchou Han, 63, Chinese national 3. Mr. Siriphong Chiebleam, 35, Thai national 4. Mr. Thitiphong Phongpiriyakul, 28, Thai national All four suspects reportedly confessed to their involvement, admitting to being the individuals captured on CCTV. According to their testimony, they were hired by another Chinese national known only as “Mr. Yong” to commit the robbery. Mr. Zhangchou Han allegedly drove the SUV to deliver Mr. Longding Han, who then picked up the two Thai suspects dressed in black. After the robbery, they regrouped and returned to Bangkok, splitting the stolen cash and discarding the victim’s phone in a body of water. Police have emphasised that the suspects are not part of any official law enforcement unit nor are they involved in a debt collection case. This was a premeditated criminal act, with the gang targeting Mr. Lin under the assumption he was wealthy due to his business status. The suspects are currently facing charges of joint armed robbery and authorities are working to recover the remaining stolen property. Investigations are ongoing to locate and apprehend Mr. Yong, the alleged mastermind behind the attack. Law enforcement officials have reiterated that all perpetrators will be brought to justice, regardless of nationality or influence.
