Popular YouTuber Chiang has posted a video defending his close friend Namfon, an airline flight attendant and influencer, after she was falsely linked to a major drug trafficking news story online. Chiang clarified that there is no connection whatsoever between Namfon and the case, expressing frustration that her image was used to fabricate a story and that his own photo appeared in the false report without explanation.

In his statement, Chiang noted that Namfon is a guest airline flight attendant, an established influencer, and already has children. He emphasized that creating and spreading false accusations against a flight attendant—who already operates under strict airline regulations—is a serious matter and could cause real harm. While Chiang speculated that such fabricated stories might be created for money or engagement, he stressed the gravity of the situation.

Namefon responded in the comments, thanking Chiang for his defense and publicly announcing her intention to file a lawsuit, stating: "My day off hasn't been peaceful at all. I will pursue this legally." She expressed frustration that her life has been disrupted by the false allegations. Other commenters rallied to show support for both Chiang and Namfon amid the ordeal.

Police in Khao Saming district have arrested a 32-year-old man identified as Wittawat, or "Moss," in connection with the brutal assault and disappearance of a 61-year-old man named Boonyu. According to reports, Moss attacked Boonyu with a wooden club until the victim was severely injured and unconscious, then placed him on a pickup truck and drove him to a durian orchard before vanishing without a trace. The incident occurred on Soi Nakhaprasoet in Khao Saming district, Trat province.

On July 1, 2025, Khao Saming police took Moss into custody and transported him for questioning at a police station, specifically demanding information about where he left Boonyu's body. Despite over an hour of interrogation, Moss refused to cooperate, insisting that Boonyu had jumped out of the truck and fled on his own. He also refused to reveal where the pickup truck was abandoned. Police even brought his mother and acquaintances to try persuading him, but he remained uncooperative throughout the questioning.

At 12:10 AM, Chukkiat Phukabjploi, the provincial police commander for Trat, ordered an expanded search operation of the durian plantation within a 500-meter radius. The search, conducted jointly with local rescue teams, proved difficult due to ongoing rain and darkness at the scene. After more than an hour of searching, authorities had found no trace of the victim.
