Region 3 Police Bureau and the Police Wives Club delivered a new home to a bedridden patient in need, reaffirming the principle of 'leaving no one behind.' On July 21, 2025, Pol. Maj. Gen. Prasong Ananmani, commander of Region 3, along with officers from Nimitmai Police Station, representatives from the Police Wives Club led by Somruetai Bunsomboon and Panisa Santhiner, collaborated with officials including Phummesat Chaitrakul, Deputy Governor of Bangkok Waterworks Authority, and administrators of Nawamintrachinuthit Girls School 2, as well as residents of the Fuengfa Development Community, to implement the 'House for the Bedridden' project.

The team handed over a new home to 51-year-old Kamphanthai Kamprom, who became bedridden following a motor vehicle accident and is cared for solely by his wife, in the area adjacent to Nawamintrachinuthit Girls School 2 on Nimitmai Soi 64, Samwat Subdistrict, Khlong Samwa District, Bangkok. Pol. Maj. Gen. Prasong explained that in mid-May, he and his team visited bedridden patients in the Nimitmai Police Station area and discovered that Kamphanthai's previous rental agreement was about to expire and the landlord required him to vacate by May 30, 2025.

He then ordered officers to locate a new rental property just 500 meters away at a monthly rate of 3,000 baht with a three-year lease. Police coordinated with Khlong Samwa District Office to dismantle the old house and construct a temporary shelter. However, recognizing that the tent shelter was too hot and vulnerable to storms, Region 3 Police worked with Bangkok Waterworks Authority's Minburi office, the Region 3 police committee, and various foundations to plan and construct a durable permanent home. Workers installed pilings, concrete, the house frame and single-story roof, walls, ceiling, bathroom, electrical and water systems, and paint finishing. Construction was completed in early July and the home was formally handed over today. Kamphanthai expressed overwhelming gratitude for the sturdy new home that would protect him and his wife from storms and rain, and thanked all officers and agencies for their compassion and assistance.

A speeding motorcycle ran a red light and struck a Grade 8 female student as she crossed a zebra crossing, leaving her severely injured. Security footage captured the moment of impact.

Emergency responders in Bang Phli received the report at 6:10 p.m. on July 21, 2025, regarding a motorcycle-student collision on Rural Highway Route 2001, also known as Sri Waree Noi Road in Bang Chlong subdistrict, Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan Province. Rescue workers arrived to find a 13-year-old student from a school in Bang Saothong district with severe injuries to her right leg and back, plus facial abrasions and bruising. She was given first aid and transported to Bang Phli Hospital. The motorcycle driver, 31-year-old Nattavut, sustained facial and body abrasions and was also treated and transported to hospital.

When questioned, the injured student confirmed she had pressed the pedestrian signal to cross the zebra crossing and was waiting for the green light before attempting to cross. The driver claimed he did not see the red light and could not recall the details of what happened, and denied drinking alcohol.

CCTV footage from cameras near the scene shows the student waiting at the signal, then looking both ways before quickly crossing the zebra crossing when the green light appeared. At that moment, the motorcycle approached at high speed, ignoring both the red light and the zebra crossing, and struck her forcefully, sending her flying more than 10 meters.

Police are scheduled to interview both parties again before deciding whether to press charges against the motorcycle driver.

On July 21, two women in their mid-twenties, Surita and Falada (surnames withheld by request), came forward to reporters alleging they were defrauded by their pageant coach, Kasem. The women explained that they had competed in multiple Miss Grand pageants and met Kasem through Facebook, who then agreed to serve as their mentor for a Miss Grand competition held in Rangsit, Pathum Thani province on July 17-18. They transferred 6,000 baht to Kasem to cover costume rental and makeup expenses.

After the pageant ended, the contestants spoke directly with the costume owner and makeup and hair stylists involved. The costume owner revealed that Kasem had approached them claiming the contestants had limited funds, so the owner agreed to charge only 1,000 baht for the costume rental. Similarly, the makeup artist and hairstylist said Kasem made the same plea, prompting them to donate their services free of charge.

When the contestants discovered this discrepancy, they confronted Kasem about why he charged them 6,000 baht when the actual costs were far lower. Rather than explain, Kasem became defensive and criticized them for questioning the makeup artist, hairstylist, and costume owner. The two women stressed they were not seeking a refund but felt it was unfair to be charged more than the actual cost. They decided to go public as a cautionary tale for other young women entering pageants, urging contestants to select honest and trustworthy mentors who will not exploit their inexperience.
