Sattahip Woman Holds Cow Hostage Over Banana Crisis
Picture from responders. In what can only be described as a “moo-ving” situation, 59-year-old Aunt Nong of Sattahip found herself in a sticky situation when a rogue cow decided to turn her backyard banana patch into a personal grazing ground. After days of frustration watching her precious plants get chewed up and trampled, Aunt Nong picked up the phone and called the local police, asking for help with the “cow crisis” that had spiralled out of control. “This isn’t just a cow; it’s a disaster!” she exclaimed, clutching the offender, now her reluctant hostage. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Aunt Nong in tears, holding the cow like a disgruntled hostage negotiator. With 15 banana plants now casualties of the bovine buffet, she was determined to get the owner to take responsibility. “I just want 2,000 baht to replace my bananas!” she pleaded. This wasn’t the first time Aunt Nong had encountered this cow. In fact, she had previously overlooked its misdemeanours because the owner was a familiar face in the community. However, after the latest escapade of munching and stomping, she had decided enough was enough. “I can’t just let it trample my livelihood!” she declared, before tying the cow up and calling for backup. Officer Sub-Lt. Apisit Suthi arrived to mediate the situation and reached out to the cow’s owner. Unfortunately, the owner claimed he was unavailable due to his wife’s illness and promised to show up the next day to discuss the damages. “It seems this cow’s owner is more elusive than the cow itself!” Apisit quipped, trying to lighten the mood amidst the chaos. Apisit advised Aunt Nong on legal matters, suggesting she document any future incidents with videos to strengthen her case. “Holding a cow hostage might not be the best strategy,” he chuckled. “You wouldn’t want to end up in hot water for theft!” As tensions eased, Aunt Nong’s cow-captivity plan seemed to be working. With the promise of a meeting on the horizon, both parties were hopeful for a peaceful resolution. Until then, it appears the cow will remain a reluctant houseguest in Aunt Nong’s garden, likely pondering the consequences of its snacking spree. -- 2025-02-20 , -

Ex-Thai Actress Accuses British Husband of Fraud and Infidelity
Now this a turn up farang stealing from a Thai wife. Normally the foot is on the other shoe. This is happening every day Farangs getting scammed and it is not nice feeling. I must admit some are just stupid others not smart. An old friend years ago was working in mining in West Australian and flying back and forth to Thailand. When he retired, he had to live in Australia for 12 months or wherever he needed to get a pension. Nowhere to go no house in Australia no money as Miss Issan was spending as fast as his salary came and all of a sudden, he no good. He decided to end his life so sad. The land of smiles and Crocodile tears beware. -

British and German Nationals Arrested in Thailand for Sexual Abuse of Children
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath In a concerted effort by Thai immigration authorities to tackle serious crimes involving foreigners, two individuals from abroad have been arrested, facing grave accusations of sexual offences against minors. These arrests form part of an intensified crackdown against criminal activities impacting Thailand's reputation as a safe travel destination. The first case involves a 68-year-old German national, Mr. Rudolf, apprehended under a court warrant issued in Pattaya. He is charged with "indecent acts against a child under 13" after allegedly exploiting a young girl from Surat Thani. Authorities report that Rudolf, alongside a Thai accomplice, manipulated the girl's family into allowing her to be his foster child, promising her an education in Chonburi. Upon investigation, police discovered Rudolf's residence contained explicit materials, including photographs and videos of the girl. Initially granted bail, Rudolf absconded and failed to attend subsequent court hearings. After a dedicated manhunt, law enforcement officers finally captured him in an apartment in Bang Lamung, Chonburi, highlighting the extensive cross-agency efforts in place to bring fugitive offenders to justice. The second arrest pertains to 41-year-old British national, Mr. Oliver, who faces charges from a Chonburi court for "abducting a child under 15 for immoral purposes." Allegations suggest that Oliver engaged a minor he met via a dating app, which underscores growing concerns over the misuse of digital platforms for criminal exploits. Picture courtesy: Siam Rath After the alleged crime, Oliver fled Thailand, evading justice for months. However, upon his re-entry into the country, officials swiftly acted on information from their technological surveillance systems, leading to his identification and subsequent arrest at a hotel in Bang Lamung. This case not only spotlights the vulnerabilities associated with online interactions but also Thai authorities' capability to leverage technology in tracking offenders. In addressing these incidents, Major General Chairit Anurith, head of Immigration Division 3, underscored the deep impact such crimes have on victims and Thailand’s international standing. He noted that, with Thailand heavily reliant on tourism, maintaining a positive global image is paramount. The arrests signal a clear message: illegal activities, especially those causing severe harm like child exploitation, will be met with the full force of the law. Chairit further highlighted that these cases have prompted a reaffirmation of vigilance in policing strategies and a commitment to safeguarding vulnerable individuals. The authorities are now emphasising community awareness and caution, particularly regarding interactions on social media and dating apps, to prevent similar occurrences. In light of the high-profile arrests, Thai authorities have urged residents and visitors alike to report suspicious activities, ensuring that the country's commitment to safety remains robust. These actions are part of a broader initiative to not only tackle present challenges but also to establish preventative measures against the backdrop of increasing digital interactions. Ultimately, these arrests represent a broader effort by Thailand to ensure that its streets – and its virtual spaces – uphold a standard of safety and security for everyone, reinforcing the country’s image as a welcoming and secure destination, reported Siam Rath. -- 2025-02-20
