Officers seized 60 methamphetamine pills found in his possession. The arrest came after a 36-year-old female teacher filed a complaint of sexual harassment and solicitation for sexual services. During interrogation, Thosapol confessed to messaging the teacher seeking to purchase services, claiming he actually needed house cleaning help because he lived alone. He also admitted sometimes asking on behalf of a friend who had recently become addicted to methamphetamine. The suspect said he became hooked after seeing his friend use the drug and tried it himself. He pledged to quit drugs, expressing remorse toward his elderly aunt and younger sibling, and promised never to contact women this way again. Police proceeded with legal charges. The female teacher explained that the suspect initially requested to be Facebook friends, then persistently messaged her. When she grew curious about his identity, she devised a plan to uncover who he was and where he lived. She asked him to send photos, tricked him into a long conversation where he flirted with her, then reported all evidence to police. The teacher praised the police's swift action and expressed relief that the suspect would no longer harass others. She warned other women and children to be cautious of online scammers and sexual predators, urging everyone to be careful when using social media.

A 44-year-old man arrested in Kanchanaburi confessed to raping and murdering his female neighbor, then staging her body as a suicide in a forest; police skeptical of his claim as he was caught attempting to flee.

2d ago Khaosod

On May 16, 2025, a 45-year-old woman's body was discovered in a forest area behind a sugar mill in Ban Kao subdistrict, Muang district, Kanchanaburi Province, four days after she went missing. Her relatives filed a report with Muang Kanchanaburi Police Station, and authorities launched an investigation and circulated a missing person alert.

Investigating officers from Muang Kanchanaburi Police Station apprehended Somrit, 44, a neighbor who rented a room near the victim's residence. After intensive interrogation lasting several hours, he confessed to raping the victim, beating her repeatedly, and strangling her with a rope before tying her body to a tree to stage a suicide.

Somrit claimed that on the day of the incident, he tricked his wife into riding a motorcycle to pick up the victim from her home and bring her to the forest. He then sent his wife away before committing the assault and murder, staging it as a suicide. When he learned someone had discovered the body, he attempted to flee but was arrested before he could escape. Police noted that the suspect and victim had frequently drunk together and quarreled regularly, accumulating grievances over time.

Authorities have filed charges and are conducting a thorough investigation. Police also brought in Somrit's wife for questioning to determine whether she was complicit in the crime and to pursue further legal action.

Police Chief Points to Bus Negligence, Clear CCTV Footage Shows Vehicle Straddling Railway Tracks, Urgent Questioning of Crossing Guard Underway

A bus caught fire after colliding with a train near Bangkok's Makkasan Station on May 16, with police citing driver negligence and CCTV showing the vehicle straddling the railway tracks.

2d ago Khaosod

Police Chief Points to Bus Negligence, Clear CCTV Footage Shows Vehicle Straddling Railway Tracks, Urgent Questioning of Crossing Guard Underway. Investigation coordinating with traffic police to determine if route was properly cleared. Awaiting three key findings: distance, speed, and time.

At 8:30 p.m. on May 16, 2569, State Railway of Thailand officials moved the locomotive from the incident site near Asok-Dindaeng Road near Airport Rail Link Makkasan Station to the Makkasan repair facility, along with container bogies. Bangkok simultaneously provided large cranes to remove the damaged Route 206 bus from the railway tracks. Work proceeds cautiously due to severe fire damage to the bus. Officials emphasize all work prioritizes safety with efforts to restore traffic flow by midnight.

At 9:00 p.m., Police Commissioner General Kittisart Panpetch arrived at the scene of the train-bus collision that resulted in fire. He ordered Bangkok Police commanders and Makkasan Station to manage traffic flow for public convenience. He coordinated with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and relevant agencies to remove the bus from the train track, noting the bus has been moved with only some concrete panels remaining.

The Police Chief stated traffic updates are ongoing. He ordered investigators to prosecute the train driver and bus driver on negligence charges causing death, while expediting evidence collection including CCTV footage. The investigation is progressing significantly.

When asked about the train driver still being alive while reports indicated the bus driver died, and whether the crossing guard is in custody, Commissioner Kittisart said the bus driver is alive and the train driver is injured. He emphasized the incident caused severe damage necessitating legal action and custody of those involved.

Regarding the Land Traffic Act provision prohibiting vehicles within 5 meters of railway tracks and train speed issues, the Police Chief said he ordered comprehensive review of related regulations and laws. He expressed condolences to the deceased's family, calling this incident an important lesson, especially for public transport drivers responsible for others' lives and property.

CCTV footage clearly shows the bus parked over railway tracks. Whether a train is coming or crossing gates are lowered, drivers should maintain legal distances from tracks, the Police Chief stated, noting this incident reflects the need for stricter traffic discipline enforcement.

When pressed whether the bus parking over tracks constitutes a legal violation, the Police Chief said it's not merely a matter of disrespect but placing a vehicle on railway tracks is inherently wrong as foreseeable harm can be anticipated.

Regarding coordination between crossing guard staff and traffic police in clearing the route, the Police Chief ordered investigation into whether proper procedures were followed.

Salah Wants to See Liverpool Return to Heavy Metal Style – Embracing the Pain of Defeat

Mohamed Salah has called for Liverpool to return to their aggressive "heavy metal" attacking style, expressing frustration after the team's disappointing season that left them fifth in the Premier League and unlikely to qualify for the Cham

2d ago Khaosod

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star forward, has posted on social media expressing his desire to see Liverpool return to their aggressive, dominant style of play—what he calls their "heavy metal" approach—despite the painful defeats that come with it.

Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has underperformed significantly this season, failing to win any major titles and currently sitting fifth in the Premier League table, uncertain whether they will secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League. The team suffered a crushing 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa on May 15, prompting Salah to share his feelings ahead of what appears to be his final match with the club this coming weekend.

"I have seen this club transform from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions," Salah said. "It took hard work, and I did everything I could to help the club reach that point. Nothing has made me more proud than that."

"Losing again this season has been painful, and it's not what our fans deserve," he continued. "I want to see Liverpool return as that heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear, and return as champions. That's the football I know should be played, and that's the identity that needs to come back and be protected. There can be no compromise, and everyone who joins this club should adapt to it."

Salah emphasized that inconsistent results fall short of Liverpool's standards. "Winning sometimes and losing sometimes is not what Liverpool should be. Any team can pick up wins," he stated.

He concluded by reaffirming his commitment to the club's success: "Liverpool will always mean a great deal to me and my family. I want to see it succeed long after I'm gone. As I've always said, qualifying for the Champions League next season is the minimum target, and I'll do everything I can to achieve that."

They brought over 3,000 firecrackers as offerings of gratitude.

Ms. Toom, 58, one of the fortunate winners, revealed that she came to make merit at the temple and request blessings from Luang Pho Yai. She saw the numbers 298 and 45 written on the abbot's board. Initially planning to buy the two-digit ending number 298, she discovered only the three-digit front number was available, so she purchased 10 tickets of that instead. When the lottery drawing occurred, she was delighted to have won over 40,000 baht through Luang Pho Yai's blessing.

Many other villagers also won the two-digit ending number 08 with 10 tickets each. Luang Pho Yai is known for regularly providing blessings to villagers regarding employment opportunities and land sales, with many having achieved their wishes. Following the ceremonial firecracker lighting, the numbers 32, 164, and 114, 34 were drawn as lucky numbers that villagers plan to play in the June 1, 2025 lottery drawing.
