Accident Two Girls Critically Injured; Driver Denies Responsibility
Pictures courtesy of SiamNews. A father has appealed for justice after his daughter and her friend, both 17 years old, were critically injured in a head-on collision caused by a pickup truck that crossed lanes. Despite the severity of the crash and the girls’ urgent medical needs, the driver involved is reportedly refusing to take responsibility. Mr Warin, 50, from Pruksa 12 Village, Moo 2, Khlong Sam Subdistrict, Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani, told reporters that his daughter, Ms Jariya, 18, was riding a motorcycle with her friend Ms Itsaveeporn, 17, on the evening of 6 August. The two had gone out to get a birthday cake for Ms Jariya’s birthday. The collision happened at around 21:00 near a delivery service shop on Liap Khlong Sam Road, Prachathipat Subdistrict, Thanyaburi District. According to Mr Warin, a pickup truck first collided with another vehicle before skidding into the opposite lane and crashing head-on into the girls’ motorcycle. Both young women were thrown from the bike and seriously injured. Mr Warin described the damage to the motorcycle as severe and feared the worst when he arrived at the scene. His daughter sustained a fractured femur and multiple wounds requiring over 30 stitches, while Ms Itsaveeporn suffered fractures to her hip and pelvis, necessitating surgery. The family has filed a police report with Pratunam Chulalongkorn Police Station. However, Mr Warin expressed concerns over the investigation, noting that police failed to conduct an alcohol breath test on the driver because the equipment was reportedly out of order. This lack of testing has shaken the family’s confidence in the justice process. Moreover, the driver’s insurance policy is invalid and he has been evasive about compensation, telling the family to rely on legal procedures instead. The medical expenses are high and the families have had to shoulder the financial burden themselves. Ms Supornthip, 48, mother of Ms Itsaveeporn, confirmed that her daughter remains in critical condition. The doctors have warned that after surgery, her daughter may need to use a wheelchair for three months, with uncertain prospects for regaining full mobility. Her health insurance coverage is nearly exhausted, forcing the family to switch to the state’s 30-baht healthcare scheme. Police have also informed the families that the blood test results of the driver involved have not yet been released, heightening the families’ anxiety. The malfunctioning alcohol testing equipment and delays in obtaining blood test results leave many questions unanswered. The families are calling for a fair investigation and appropriate accountability to ensure justice for the injured young women. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-08-12 -

Crime Cyber Police, AIS Nab Teens for SMS Fraud in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Cyber police, in collaboration with AIS, have arrested two men suspected of using a False Base Station (FBS) device to send fraudulent SMS messages containing fake links aimed at stealing money from victims across Bangkok. The operation, named “Operation Pinklao,” was announced on 10 August by Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiwpan, Commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Division and Wisit Sakchai, AIS Corporate Relations Manager. The suspects, aged 20 and 21, were found driving around the city sending out fake SMS messages impersonating government and private agencies. The messages falsely warned recipients that their reward points were about to expire, urging them to click on malicious links that would drain their bank accounts. Previous similar cases had been reported in Sathorn, Rama IV, Sukhumvit and Phetchaburi areas, involving both Thai and foreign suspects. This latest arrest followed complaints to AIS from customers receiving suspicious SMS messages. Working closely with AIS engineers, cyber police tracked the suspects to a petrol station on Sirindhorn Road in Bang Phlat district, where they were stopped and searched. The two suspects, identified as Nirun (20) and Kittiwara (21), were found with an FBS device and four mobile phones inside their vehicle. During questioning, Nirun admitted they were hired via a Chinese financier on the Telegram app, earning 2,500 baht daily to send the scam SMS. The pair confessed to carrying out the scheme three times. They face six charges, including illegal possession and use of radio transmission equipment, operating a radio station without a licence, unauthorised use of radio frequencies, attempted fraud, signal interception and involvement in a criminal gang. Mr Wisit explained the FBS device can broadcast fake SMS messages within a radius of 1-2 kilometres, sending over 20,000 fraudulent texts per day. AIS reaffirmed it does not send links asking customers to input personal data nor make direct phone calls for such purposes. The company pledged continued cooperation with cyber police to combat scams and protect users. Adapted by Asean Now from CH7 2025-08-12 -

Crime Shock in Koh Samui as Abbot Arrested for Methamphetamine Use
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Police, administrative officials and the provincial Buddhist office raided a well-known temple on the island, arresting the 61-year-old abbot and a monk under his charge for using methamphetamine. The operation on 10 August was led by Amorn Chumchuay, the Koh Samui district chief, together with volunteer defence officials, Pol Col Panya Niratimanon, superintendent of Koh Samui Police, Pol Lt Col Sawat Talwallee, the Internal Security Operations Command and officials from the Surat Thani Provincial Office of Buddhism. Authorities had received complaints from local residents that young people were gathering at the temple and that some monks were suspected of involvement with drugs. During the raid, the abbot and three monks were asked to undergo urine tests, while the abbot’s quarters were searched. Police found drug-taking paraphernalia, which was seized as evidence. Initial urine tests showed positive results for methamphetamine in the abbot and one other monk. Samples were sent to Koh Samui Hospital for confirmation, which verified the presence of the drug. Both men admitted to taking methamphetamine. The pair were taken to meet the district chief monk to formally leave the monkhood before being charged with illegal use of a Category 1 narcotic (methamphetamine). They were then handed over to Koh Samui police investigators for prosecution. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-08-12 -
