Two massage therapist friends arranged to settle a dispute but ended up in a violent altercation when one punched the other in the face, leaving her with a broken nose and severe facial injuries.

At 1:30 a.m. on April 26, 2025, Pattaya City Police received a report of a quarrel behind an entertainment venue in Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri Province. Officers and rescue volunteers from the Swang Buraprom Foundation quickly responded to the parking area behind the venue, where they found friends from both sides trying to break up the fight.

The victim, Ms. Sorindawan (surname withheld), 26, a traditional massage therapist, was in distress with a severe laceration on her nose bridge and blood streaming down her face. Medical staff provided first aid before rushing her to the hospital.

The suspect, Ms. Mintra (surname withheld), 28, also a massage therapist working at the same establishment, remained calm as she gave her statement to police.

During questioning, Ms. Mintra admitted to assaulting her friend. She explained that the two had previous personal conflicts and had arranged to meet for a heart-to-heart discussion over drinks. During their conversation, the victim refused to clarify her suspicions about Ms. Mintra's relationship with the victim's boyfriend, which angered Ms. Mintra. In a fit of rage, Ms. Mintra punched the victim in the face once, not realizing she was wearing a ring that caused the severe laceration.

Police brought Ms. Mintra in for questioning at Pattaya City Police Station, while the victim will provide her statement later to ensure fairness to all parties involved.

Breaking: Officials quickly evacuate Trump from event after gunshot-like sound. Other guests duck under dining tables as the situation descends into chaos. At 8:00 AM on April 26, 2026 Thai time (7:00 PM April 25 US time), CNN reports that US President Donald Trump was rapidly escorted away from the stage following what sounded like gunshots at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C., shocking the large crowd of attendees. Not only President Trump, but Vice President J.D. Vance and several cabinet members seated nearby were quickly evacuated by security personnel to a safe area after officials reported "shots fired" on their radios. Other guests at the event took cover under tables. Sources revealed to CNN that Trump is safe, while administration officials confirmed that all cabinet members are also secure. Fox News posted video footage with a post on X stating: "Breaking: President Trump and the First Lady are rushed out of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. It remains unclear what prompted the evacuation, but event attendees were seen on video taking cover and shielding themselves under their tables."

On April 26, 2025, a complaint was filed by Somthorn (surname withheld), 49, and her sister-in-law Amornrat (surname withheld), 36, on behalf of their relative Suthep (surname withheld), 28, seeking justice. According to their account, a village chief from Si Nakharin District in Phatthalung Province forcibly removed Suthep from his bed while he slept and placed handcuffs on him. The chief then tied Suthep to a mango tree in front of the house, struck him in the face twice until his eyes were bruised, and kicked him once more.

The chief then brought four ant nests and placed them on Suthep's head (three nests) and beside him (one nest), claiming he had video evidence that Suthep had stolen a beetle from villagers. The ants attacked and bit the young man, causing blood to pour from his nose as he writhed in agony for over four hours while the chief refused to remove the handcuffs. Fearing for his nephew's life, a family member drove to Si Nakharin Police Station to request police assistance in removing the handcuffs.

When police arrived and removed the handcuffs, they found Suthep's body covered in ant bites from head to toe, with visible scratches at the base of the mango tree from his struggle against the pain. When questioned, Suthep explained that the chief had accused him of stealing a beetle, but he was actually retrieving an empty plastic bag to use for fishing bait from a beetle farm—not stealing any beetles. He noted that the video footage the chief showed contained only an empty plastic bag with no beetle inside, but the chief refused to listen and proceeded with the torture. The beetle owner later agreed not to press charges, and police advised him to stop the behavior.

Suthep admitted to occasional drug use (two pills daily) but stated the money came from grass-cutting work, not theft. He also acknowledged that he had stolen from villagers in the past while living in Had Yai District, but claimed he had reformed over the past year since moving back home and had not stolen anything since.

Suthep's aunt stated that while they would accept punishment if he was guilty, the chief's actions were excessive and disproportionate. Handcuffing him to a tree, beating him, and using ants as torture for four hours went far beyond appropriate discipline. She noted that police arrived two hours into the ordeal but could not release him because they didn't have the key and the chief refused to unlock the handcuffs. It wasn't until four hours had passed and family members came to police requesting Suthep's release that he was finally freed, suffering from pain and trauma throughout his entire body.

On April 26, 2569, Deputy Inspector Noprat Bunsri of Rattanathebesorn Police Station revealed that at 11 p.m. on April 25, officers received a report of a motorcycle that had plunged into an underground water pipe pit on Pracha Chuen Road near Pracha Chuen 4 Alley, Bang Khen Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nonthaburi Province. They rushed to the scene with volunteers from the Po Teck Tung Foundation.

The accident occurred on a four-lane road on the inbound side toward the Phong Phetchburi intersection. Water utility workers had opened a pit measuring 2 meters wide, 4 meters long, and 5 meters deep to lay large underground water pipes. Two people had fallen into the pit along with a motorcycle, with one person managing to climb out.

Rescue teams then used rappelling equipment to lower personnel and retrieve the other victim, identified as Ratchasunee (surname withheld), 49 years old, who was suffering from serious head injuries. She was transported to Mongkutwattana Hospital. The black and red Honda PCX motorcycle bearing Bangkok license plates was also recovered from the pit.

When questioned, driver Manop (surname withheld), 50 years old, stated he could not see the pit opening and his motorcycle plunged in. He had been driving to drop off his younger companion at a condominium. After falling in, he managed to climb out but was concerned about his companion still in the pit.

Eighteen-year-old worker Danai (surname withheld) stated that at the time of the accident, he was sitting on the back of a 10-wheel truck near the pit's edge. When he saw the motorcycle fall in, he initially spotted only a man, who later climbed out. Upon checking again, he found a woman unconscious in the water. He then entered the pit and held her above the water line.

Footage from security cameras showed that water pipe workers had used a 10-wheel truck to block the leftmost lane while opening the pit, allowing traffic to use the right lanes with traffic cones placed in a line. At 10:37 p.m., the injured motorcyclist's vehicle sped into the pit before the driver climbed out to call for help.

Police plan to summon the water pipe work supervisor for questioning and will investigate whether proper warning signs and lights were posted during the work. The two injured victims will be questioned after receiving medical treatment.
