Fake Engineer Arrested at Home for Forging Professional Licence to Take on House Projects
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A man posing as a licensed engineer has been arrested at his home in Bangkok after allegedly forging official documents and deceiving clients into hiring him for home design and construction projects, one of which resulted in costly building errors. The arrest followed a warrant issued by Buriram Provincial Court (No. 93/2568, dated 24 March 2025) for 45-year-old Mr. Ek who is charged with “fraud by impersonation” and “inputting false information into a computer system.” The suspect was apprehended in front of his residence in Soi Chaeng Watthana 12, Thung Song Hong subdistrict, Lak Si district, Bangkok, by a team led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Wittaya Sriprasertphap, Commander of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), along with Pol. Col. Suriyasuk Jirawat, Deputy Superintendent of CSD Subdivision 3. Investigators revealed that Mr. Ek had posted in a Facebook group titled “Architect-Engineer-Foreman-Consultant-Headman & Skilled Workers Job Board,” claiming to be a qualified engineer. He allegedly submitted a doctored image of a professional licence to convince a contractor to hire him for a house design project. The first job went smoothly, but problems surfaced when the contractor later engaged him for two additional site inspections. It was then discovered that one of the houses had been built outside its designated boundary markers. When police at Muang Buriram Police Station conducted an identity check, it became clear that Mr. Ek was not the licensed engineer he claimed to be. Authorities contacted the real engineer whose name and details appeared on the forged document. The deception was exposed, prompting the victim to file a formal complaint, leading to the issuance of the arrest warrant. Officers later tracked the suspect to his home in the Chaeng Watthana area, where he was detained. During initial questioning, the suspect denied the charges. He has since been transferred to Muang Buriram Police Station for further legal proceedings. -- 2025-04-05 -

Five-Vehicle Pile-Up in Saraburi Leaves One Dead, Eight Injured
Picture from responders. One person has died and eight others have been injured following a five-vehicle crash on Phahonyothin Road in Saraburi province. The crash, which occurred at kilometre marker 104 in the inbound lane toward Bangkok, involved a six-wheeled lorry, a motorcycle, a staff shuttle bus, a 22-wheel trailer truck, and a Thailand Post delivery truck. Pol. Sub-Lt. Sarawi Jaemjang from Muang Saraburi Police Station received the emergency call early morning on 5 April and arrived on the scene with rescue personnel from the Sawang Rattanatrai Thammasathan Foundation. A Honda motorcycle was found crushed and dragged by an Isuzu six-wheeled lorry registered in Saraburi. The impact was so severe that the rider’s helmet was thrown off, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman who had been riding pillion sustained serious injuries, including a fractured right leg, and was rushed to Saraburi Hospital. Further investigation at the site revealed that three more vehicles had collided. A company staff shuttle bus had crashed into the rear of a postal delivery lorry after it was struck from behind by a 22-wheel cement trailer. Seven female workers onboard the shuttle bus were injured, with three sent to Saraburi Hospital and four to Kasemrad Saraburi Hospital. Mr. Wisit, 56, the postal lorry driver, said he witnessed the initial crash when a six-wheeled truck hit the motorcycle. As traffic suddenly slowed, he braked, only to be rear-ended by the large cement trailer, which was followed closely by the shuttle bus crashing into the back of the six-wheeled lorry. Mr. Mongkol, 34, the cement trailer driver, stated he had been transporting cement from Kaeng Khoi district to Bangkok. He said a pickup truck in the middle lane abruptly braked, causing the postal lorry to swerve. Though he attempted to brake, he was unable to avoid a collision. The driver of the staff shuttle bus explained that he had been en route to drop workers off for the morning shift. As he tried to veer slightly right to avoid the pile-up ahead, the trailer also shifted lanes, leading to a glancing collision between the two vehicles. Police have gathered statements from all involved drivers and recorded evidence at the scene. The body of the deceased has been sent for a full autopsy at Saraburi Hospital to determine the precise cause of death. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the exact cause of the multi-vehicle crash. -- 2025-04-05 -

SRT Confirms Steel Used in Thai-Chinese High-Speed Rail Project Meets International Standard
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has confirmed that the steel used in the Thai-Chinese high-speed rail project meets all international engineering and safety standards, following public concern over structural integrity after a recent earthquake. Mr. Veerith Amrapal, Governor of the SRT, announced that in response to directives from Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit, the SRT had expedited structural inspections for the third-phase contract area (Section 3-1), which includes the Kaeng Khoi–Klang Dong and Pang Asok–Bandai Ma stretches. This move followed a 28 March earthquake that raised concerns about the safety of infrastructure under construction. According to Mr. Veerith, SRT engineers and independent experts thoroughly examined the affected areas and found no signs of cracking or structural damage. The high-speed rail structures were designed to withstand seismic activity and operational vibrations, in compliance with established engineering standards. Further inspections were carried out in collaboration with specialists from the Department of Rail Transport, the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI), and the Iron and Steel Institute of Thailand. Steel samples were collected from the Muak Lek and Thap Kwang storage sites, where materials for the 3-1 contract section are held. Laboratory testing was conducted to assess a range of engineering and quality benchmarks, including: • Yield Strength • Tensile Strength • Elongation • Bending Test • Chemical Composition The test results confirmed that all steel samples met or exceeded required standards in every category. These findings indicate that the steel is of high quality, structurally sound, and safe for use in railway construction, consistent with international guidelines. Mr. Veerith emphasised that the SRT enforces rigorous quality control measures throughout the entire process. This includes certifying steel at the manufacturing stage, testing materials upon arrival at construction sites, and continuous monitoring during construction. Only materials that pass all required inspections are approved for use, ensuring compliance with contract conditions and maintaining public safety. -- 2025-04-05 -
