Police from Bang Bua Thong station in Nonthaburi responded to reports of a shooting at a two-story house in Lahan subdistrict at 7 a.m. on July 28, 2025. Officers found two deceased victims in the lower hallway: Soong (surname withheld), 71, and Suda (surname withheld), 74, both shot in the torso, arms, and legs. Four others were wounded: Ampaa, Sakrin, and Saraarin, plus the suspect, Theemat (surname withheld), 59.

According to investigator Narisara, the daughter of the deceased, Theemat arrived in the morning and argued with her parents over a land dispute. He then opened fire, killing them both. When Ampaa and Sakrin tried to help, they were also shot. Theemat claimed he harbored resentment because his uncle's will had permitted him shared use of land that was later developed into a house by relatives who refused to honor the agreement. He said he had pursued the matter in court from 2019 to 2022 but the case was dismissed. He claimed he came to confront them about resolving the issue when he fired a warning shot, then went upstairs to speak with his aunt.

Narisara stated she heard multiple gunshots and initially held back by her boyfriend. Her sister-in-law then called to tell her to come see the blood. When she arrived, she saw her brother fighting the suspect with a knife and a gun fell near a pillar. Fearing the suspect would seize it and shoot her, she threw the gun into the grass. She noted this land dispute had troubled the family for over a decade and that the suspect, her mother's brother, had previously attacked her with a knife before her aunt intervened.

Police in Udon Thani responded on the evening of July 27 to reports of a death in a gas station bathroom on the outskirts of the city. Officers, accompanied by a forensic pathologist from Udon Thani Hospital and rescue personnel, found the body of a 39-year-old man identified as Mr. A (pseudonym), with initial indications suggesting he took his own life.

The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) is advancing opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs to access foreign markets through the TOPTHAI by DITP program, now in its sixth consecutive year. The initiative currently has over 2,400 brands participating, generating cumulative trade value of hundreds of millions of baht, connecting Thai products to global consumers through leading e-commerce platforms.

Dr. Supaporn Sukmark, Deputy Director-General of DITP, stated that global trade is undergoing a complete shift toward a digital economy, with consumers increasingly purchasing online. Thai entrepreneurs must accelerate their adaptation and leverage digital platforms as a tool to expand into foreign markets.

The program helps entrepreneurs reach foreign consumers more easily while reducing costs and barriers to starting an online business. DITP supports marketing campaign development, public relations, and expert consultation to boost the growth of Thai products on global e-commerce platforms.

Currently, popular product categories on the TOPTHAI platform include food and beverages, which stand out for quality and Thai identity, while fashion, mother-and-baby products, and pet products show continued growth potential, demonstrating the capability of Thai products to meet consumer demands in foreign markets.

Beyond this, DITP also organizes Cross-Border E-Commerce activities across multiple regions nationwide to share knowledge on international online commerce, enabling entrepreneurs to network with business partners, negotiate trades, and receive expert consultation in preparation for expanding into foreign markets.

Dr. Supaporn concluded that Thai products still have significant growth potential in foreign markets, particularly through cross-border e-commerce channels, which represent an important opportunity to expand Thai exports. DITP will continue developing the TOPTHAI by DITP program through expanded partnerships with leading e-commerce platforms, entrepreneur development, and marketing promotion to push Thai products to consumers worldwide. The department invites Thai entrepreneurs to join TOPTHAI by DITP to elevate their businesses and expand into international markets.
