Police Officer Refuses to Apologize for Assaulting 20-Year-Old Server; Restaurant Owner Vows to Pursue Case to the End

A Kanchanaburi restaurant owner is pursuing justice after a police officer sexually assaulted his 20-year-old server on May 19, with the officer refusing to apologize or attempt reconciliation despite the complaint filed with police.

1d ago Khaosod

A well-known pork hotpot restaurant owner in Lat Yai Subdistrict, Muang District, Kanchanaburi is seeking justice for his 20-year-old server who was sexually assaulted by a police officer (Ror Damnern) through unwanted touching. The incident occurred on the evening of May 19, 2025. Following the assault, the owner brought the victim to file a complaint at Lat Yai Police Station as evidence.

On May 21, 2025, restaurant owner Phanupong Taetvong and the victim, referred to as "Bee," met with investigators at Lat Yai Police Station to provide additional testimony. A deputy traffic superintendent from Muang Kanchanaburi Police Station—who is the superior of the accused officer—also attended, but the accused officer did not appear.

Phanupong stated that the officer who committed the assault did not show up to meet with the victim as he had expected. Only the deputy superintendent attended, and there was no attempt at reconciliation whatsoever, leaving him and the victim deeply disappointed.

Since the incident, the accused officer has never contacted the restaurant or the victim to apologize, demonstrating no remorse. As a result, Phanupong and the victim are prepared to pursue this case fully and hope that despite the perpetrator being a police officer, the police force will handle the investigation fairly and deliver complete justice to the victim.

Police Bust Chinese Spa Offering Illegal Sexual Services, Arrest 8 Staff Members

Police raided a spa in Rayong province on May 21 and arrested eight foreign staff members operating an illegal prostitution ring disguised as a massage business, with rooms modified for sexual services.

1d ago Khaosod

On May 21, 2025, Lieutenant Colonel Thongpreud Sirisukha, commander of Highway Police Division 3, ordered officers led by Colonel Suriya Puang Sambat and other senior police to conduct a raid on a health spa in Mab Yang Phro subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong province, following complaints that the establishment was secretly engaged in prostitution while publicly advertising massage services.

Investigators found that staff members were offering special "body-to-body" massage services and explicitly proposing sexual intercourse with clients for 4,500 baht per 50-minute session. Two Vietnamese women were discovered preparing to engage in sex work. A search of the two-unit commercial building revealed that the second and third floors had been modified into over 10 service rooms equipped with beds and supplies, along with condoms and lubricant.

Eight suspects of Chinese, Myanmar, and Vietnamese nationality were arrested on charges of human trafficking, illegal immigration, and foreign worker violations. All female workers were screened under Thailand's National Referral Mechanism (NRM) for human trafficking victims, though none were found to be victims of trafficking.

Charges were filed under the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act B.E. 2539, the Immigration Act B.E. 2522, and regulations governing foreign worker management.

Prachuap Khiri Khan MP Urges Agriculture Minister to Urgently Address Water Hyacinth Crisis Killing Fish Cages Worth Nearly 4 Million Baht

Water hyacinth choking the Prachuap River has decimated ruby fish farms in Prachuap Khiri Khan, killing thousands of oxygen-starved fish with damages exceeding 3.9 million baht, prompting an MP to demand urgent government intervention.

1d ago Khaosod

At 12:35 p.m. on May 21, a reporter in Prachuap Khiri Khan documented a critical water hyacinth crisis choking the Prachuap River, creating stagnant conditions with severely depleted oxygen levels. Fish farmers in Ban Sai district saw their ruby fish cages decimated as oxygen-starved fish floated to the surface and died en masse, with total damages exceeding 3.9 million baht. MP Amnuay Vilavaloey from Prachuap Khiri Khan District 1 of the Bhumjaithai Party brought the urgent matter to parliament, calling on the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry to aggressively combat the water hyacinth problem and provide immediate relief to affected fish farmers.

Amnuay revealed the severity through aerial photographs showing the Prachuap River blanketed by dense mats of water hyacinth stretching for dozens of kilometers from Mueang Prachuap through Ban Sai districts. Despite provincial efforts, the massive volume of vegetation combined with privately-owned riverbanks has hindered irrigation department mechanized removal operations. High tidal conditions have worsened the situation by forcing water hyacinth further upstream into impassable blockages.

"Our people are suffering greatly, especially the fish farmers," Amnuay stated. "The fish are dying en masse because dissolved oxygen levels have plummeted to just 1.5 milligrams per liter—a critical level where aquatic life cannot survive."

Initial damage assessments identified two subdistricts and six villages in Ban Sai affected across Bang Phluwang and Bang Krachao subdistricts. The crisis has impacted 109 farmers, destroying over 2,895 square meters of fish cage area with cumulative damage reaching approximately 3,942,000 baht.

Amnuay, a five-term MP, emphasized this recurs annually, harming both raw drinking water quality and agricultural productivity while exacerbating seasonal flooding. He urged the Agriculture Minister to take decisive action based on the late King Rama IX's wisdom that "water is life," to restore vitality to both farmers and the Prachuap River.

Governor Veeraphun Deeawn has already mobilized emergency responses and ordered Ban Sai district to compile damage reports to declare the area a disaster zone for emergency fund allocation to compensate affected farmers.
