Community Panic at Prachinburi Petrol Station After Suspicious Bag Found with Mysterious Note
Picture courtesy of Amarin. A routine morning at a petrol station in Sri Maha Phot District turned into a scene of alarm and confusion after a suspicious bag was found abandoned outside a public restroom, accompanied by a cryptic handwritten note. The incident occurred at approximately 09:30 on 28 June, when concerned locals reported the presence of a black bag placed beside a bench near a tea shop, adjacent to the toilet block at a petrol station in Moo 10, Tha Tum Subdistrict. Fearing the bag could contain explosives or illegal substances, residents quickly alerted Sri Maha Phot Police Station. Police, along with local rescue teams, arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area. Officers urged customers to evacuate or keep a safe distance while an investigation was carried out. The bag was sealed, with a piece of white A4 paper attached bearing a handwritten message: “Please don’t throw this away. Someone will come to collect it tomorrow.” The reverse side of the paper included a photocopy of a household registration document. Concerned over the possibility of explosives or even a concealed body, police refrained from opening the bag immediately. Officers contacted the name listed on the attached ID documentation. Around 20 minutes later, a woman arrived at the scene and identified the bag as hers. Ms. Thanpimon Pramjon, a 47-year-old cleaner, had initially spotted the bag and alerted the station’s staff. “At first, I noticed the paper and thought it might be something dangerous. Given the current climate with so many bomb scares, we didn’t want to take any chances,” she said. “The bag felt heavy too and no one knew when it had been left there.” The woman who collected the bag explained that it simply contained clothes and she had left it temporarily for a friend to collect the next day, using the note as a reminder. Police Sergeant Luechai Rojanadechphokin of Sri Maha Phot Police Station said the response followed standard security protocols. “When we arrived, the bag was unattended, the zip not fully closed, and no one claimed it. We treated it as a potential explosive risk until it was confirmed safe.” He added that officers had initially contacted the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit but were able to resolve the situation after confirming the owner’s identity through the registration copy. Police issued a formal warning to the woman and reminded the public to avoid leaving bags in public spaces without clear identification or supervision. Sgt. Luechai also urged the public to avoid touching or opening any suspicious items and to report them to authorities immediately. “For safety, always stay at least 50 metres away from any suspicious object. That’s the minimum safe distance in the event of a real explosive,” he advised. The incident served as a stark reminder of the heightened awareness required in public spaces in light of recent bomb threats. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-06-30 -

Trump Wins on Injunctions
There already is a bond requirement under FRCivPro 65 (c). I assume the proposed legislation would have tightened up bond requirements, which seem to get waived an awful lot -

Crime Highway Police Seize Indian Star Tortoises and Arowana Fish Worth Over 2 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Highway police in Songkhla province have intercepted a wildlife smuggling attempt, seizing protected Indian star tortoises and rare arowana fish with an estimated street value exceeding 2 million baht. The operation was led by Pol. Col. Intharat Panya, Superintendent of Highway Police Division 7, along with Pol. Lt. Col. Manaswee Kadasae, Deputy Inspector Pol. Lt. Akom Chookanerd, and Pol. Lt. Wisut Thinnukul. Acting on intelligence, officers set up a checkpoint in front of the Chana Highway Police Service Unit, on Highway 43, kilometre marker 29, in Pa Ching subdistrict, Chana district, Songkhla. Authorities had received a tip-off about a transnational wildlife smuggling network attempting to conceal protected species inside sealed foam boxes labelled as ornamental fish. The contraband was being transported on a long-distance passenger coach, marked as running the Su-ngai Kolok to Koh Samui route. Shortly thereafter, officers flagged down a coach matching the description and initiated an inspection. The vehicle was being driven by a man identified as Mr Ananchai. Upon searching the luggage compartment, officers discovered three sealed white foam boxes wrapped in brown adhesive tape, identical to those described in the tip-off. Inside the boxes, they found 191 Indian star tortoises (Geochelone elegans) and 12 fish resembling red arowanas (Scleropages formosus), a species prized in the exotic pet trade. The fish were stored in four plastic bags filled with water. During questioning, Mr Ananchai claimed he had merely been asked to deliver the boxes, which had been dropped off at the Su-ngai Kolok bus terminal in Narathiwat province, with instructions to deliver them to an individual at Khlong Hoi Khong junction in Hat Yai district. He stated he had no knowledge of the contents. Initial investigations confirmed that the Indian star tortoise is a protected species under Thailand’s Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act. Arowana fish, meanwhile, require documentation under CITES regulations, including proof of legal origin and ownership. All seized animals were handed over to Chana Police Station for further legal proceedings. Authorities stated they would continue investigations to identify and apprehend others involved in the smuggling operation. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-30 -
