Police have charged a village chief from Sri Nakharin District, Phatthalung Province, with two offenses: trespassing and assault. The incident occurred when the chief forcibly removed 28-year-old Suthep from his home while he was sleeping, handcuffed him from behind, tied him to a mango tree in front of the house, struck him in the face twice until his eyes were bruised, kicked him once more, and then placed fire ants on his head and body. The chief claimed to have CCTV footage showing Suthep stealing beetles from local residents, which caused injury.

On April 27, 2025, Suthep's 49-year-old mother filed a complaint with Sri Nakharin Police Station. Investigators charged the chief with trespassing and assault. The mother expressed concern about receiving fair treatment in the case, noting that the chief is an influential figure who may intimidate the victim, and requested additional charges be filed to reflect the severity of his actions.

Family members acknowledged that Suthep has a history of theft and drug use, but argued that the chief's punishment was excessive and that such matters should be handled by police, not vigilante justice. Suthep stated he would reform himself and requested one month to quit methamphetamine use, after which he plans to move to Songkhla Province to live with his father. The family vowed to pursue the case to its full extent despite attempts by the chief's representatives to settle the matter.

The Royal Thai Navy announced on April 27, 2569, through spokesman Pol. Capt. Paratcha Rattanaichaiphand that it is acquiring additional AWAV 8×8 amphibious armored vehicles from Chai Seri Metal and Rubber Company Limited to enhance naval capabilities and strengthen eastern border security in response to current threats and new security challenges, while supporting emergency response missions.

The AWAV 8×8 vehicles are designed by Thai engineering teams and produced domestically using equipment and machinery made in Thailand. They incorporate at least 40 percent locally-sourced materials, demonstrating Thailand's defense industry capabilities while reducing foreign import dependence and ensuring long-term industrial security.

The 8×8 all-terrain vehicles offer high mobility and can operate across all terrain types, effectively supporting operations with navy landing platform dock (LPD) vessels. They meet international ballistic and blast protection standards according to STANAG criteria and are equipped with machine guns, control systems, and communications systems fully integrated with the Thai Navy's military communications network. The vehicles also comply with MIL-STD environmental durability standards for effective operation in all combat environments, both maritime and terrestrial.

The Royal Thai Navy has already deployed seven AWAV vehicles with proven operational efficiency and high combat readiness, performing missions effectively according to unit requirements. The additional procurement will provide sufficient capability for force organization and future operational plans.

The expanded AWAV acquisition not only elevates the Royal Thai Navy's operational capabilities but also advances Thailand's defense industry development policy and builds Thai personnel expertise for long-term self-reliance, contributing to national security in both military and economic dimensions.
