In a tragic turn of events, the serene shores of Koh Samet in Thailand have become the backdrop for a chilling mystery. On the morning of May 17th, heartbroken whispers spread across the island as the body of Kakumanu, a 49-year-old Indian national, was discovered by local fishermen. Three days prior, he had mysteriously vanished from a resort, prompting a whirlwind of questions and concern. The quaint resort on Koh Samet where Kakumanu was last seen had reported him missing, although details about his arrival or any acquaintance he might have encountered there remain a closely guarded secret.

In the picturesque province of Nonthaburi, a recent unsettling development has captured the attention and concern of locals—a charming canal-side walkway has turned into a treacherous journey. This once beloved path, nestled alongside Khlong Bang Krasor, no longer offers a peaceful stroll but rather a perilous ordeal, especially for students, elderly residents, and those bound to their beds. The culprit? A frightening tilt and subsidence initiated by a seismic jolt on March 28, which has only worsened with recent torrential rains. Perilously close to the Chao Phraya River, some 300 meters from its mouth, lies a concrete embankment that should be a guardian against the water’s persistent attempts at conquest. But instead of standing in stalwart defense, this 80-centimeter-wide structure now bows at a precarious 45-degree angle, resembling a melted candle more than a solid path. Cracks snake their way across the surface, and the subsidence has dipped the earth…

As the storm descended, two local men, 68-year-old Wirun Songkram and 46-year-old Thanawut Bamphensilp, were laboring with hopeful hearts, constructing a fish-trapping raft meant to reap the bounty of the rainy season. The atmosphere was ominous, but the men were driven by the promise of a plentiful catch. Little did they expect that the dark clouds swirling overhead held a lethal danger. At the heart of their endeavor, a jagged bolt of lightning struck, turning their industrious effort into a heartbreaking calamity. Local authorities and emergency services faced daunting challenges as nature displayed its unyielding might. The…

As the clock struck 7:30 PM, the quiet of the Nong Mai Daeng subdistrict was shattered by the sirens of emergency vehicles racing toward a residence engulfed in panic and flames. The chariot of choice, a BMW X3 with the distinctive license plate 9 กล 7928, awakened the senses of onlookers as it battled an unforgiving blaze that manifested emphatically from its engine compartment. Brave firefighters from Mueang Chon Buri Police Station, equipped with two fire engines and supported by the Trai Khunatham rescue team, arrived on the scene.

As Sunday night settled its quietude over the city, the echo of revving engines and the screech of tires disrupted the serenity, all heralding a high-stakes chase that would claim an unexpected toll. It was around 8 PM when two gallant officers, Pol Sgt Thitikorn Dechanan and his colleague, Pol Sgt Apidet Yatha, both serving with valor and dedication, mounted their patrol bike and pursued a suspect through the labyrinthine roads near the Makro intersection. Their Honda CBR, usually a symbol of speed and efficiency, would tragically become the herald of a terrible accident.

The drama unfolded when the driver, known as Chamnarn, was apprehended after an incident with a 15-year-old girl, known only as B to protect her privacy. The saga began on an otherwise mundane day, on May 18, when B hailed a taxi from a bustling shopping centre in the Ratchathewi district. Her destination was a seemingly harmless lane in Phlapphla, Wang Thonglang district. However, as the wheels of the taxi rolled through the vibrant streets of Bangkok, the conversation took a disturbing turn. Chamnarn, seeking to engage in friendly banter, initially discussed the ever-polarizing subject of politics. But soon, the discourse shifted gears into the territory of vulgarity and inappropriate dialogue, leaving B feeling trapped within the confines…

In an online plea that struck a chord with many, Facebook user Rainan Denben recently highlighted an alarming ecological crisis that demands immediate attention. The post, shared on May 17, takes readers to the serene shores of Koh Bulon Le, a paradise nestled in Satun province, where the tranquility of the underwater world is under siege. The culprit? Mammoth fishing nets ensnaring the vibrant coral reefs, threatening the very existence of this fragile ecosystem. Fishing, a livelihood deeply rooted in tradition, is cloaked by laws aimed at maintaining the delicate balance of marine life. Yet, despite these regulations, certain netting methods wreak havoc on nature, leaving a trail of ecological devastation in their wake. The affected area, though outside the official national park boundary, still falls under the vigilant care of dedicated volunteers and divers, the unsung heroes laboring tirelessly to free the reefs from these entangling snares. On this…

On the fateful day of May 18, A, who was tending to her duties with the usual flair and dedication, suddenly found herself grappling with severe abdominal pain and dizziness. She was coaxed into taking a brief repose in the restroom, only to experience a life-altering surprise — the birth of her third child. Adjacent to the entrance of Soi Seri Thai 38, in the vibrant Ram Inthra subdistrict of Khan Na Yao district, A became a participant in an unplanned delivery when her newborn son made his debut, dropping silently…
