Khon Kaen University's Faculty of Engineering announced it has opened an investigation following a female student's allegations of sustained bullying by her classmates, which she says caused serious damage to her mental health. The student posted online describing how she was subjected to gossip, insults, physical intimidation, and social exclusion by nearly everyone in her department—including mockery over her father's workplace accident and collective condemnation when she declined to contribute a large sum toward a senior class celebration.

The case ignited significant backlash on social media, prompting the accused students to issue an apology acknowledging they had used harsh language, made sarcastic remarks, and removed her from the department group chat. They admitted their actions constituted bullying and apologized for damaging KKU's reputation, while declining to respond further on social media in hopes of avoiding additional harm.

The Faculty of Engineering stated it was aware of the allegations and had already reached out to the student for support. The university said it is conducting a comprehensive investigation based on accuracy, transparency, and fairness to all parties. The faculty emphasized its commitment to student wellbeing, safety, and dignity, and pledged that any findings of bullying or misconduct will result in disciplinary action.

On July 14, 2025, officers from the DSI's Investigation and Intelligence Division, working with police from the Investigation and Suppression Division and Immigration Bureau Region 2, arrested Theeraphong, alias 'Coach James,' one of two suspects named in a court arrest warrant. He faces charges under the Computer Crime Act of 2007 and fraud charges under Section 343 of the Criminal Code for operating as an introducing broker (IB) without authorization.

Theeraphong's role involved advising clients on forex trading and directing them to brokers within his network. Investigators found that the IB group's financial flows were interconnected with brokerage firms and payment service companies that numerous victims had filed complaints against.

Theeraphong was apprehended upon entry to Thailand from the United Arab Emirates at Suvarnabhumi Airport around 9:00 a.m. Officers recorded video and audio throughout the arrest and transfer process in compliance with anti-torture laws. He was brought to the DSI's Technology and Information Crimes Division at Government Center Building C, 9th Floor, Chaengwattana Road, Bangkok, for further legal proceedings.

When questioned by reporters at the center at 11:25 a.m., Theeraphong, dressed in a black t-shirt and black shorts without a mask or handcuffs, smiled but declined to comment. His lawyer, Amorn Kusol, requested that no questions be asked about case details and stated he would provide any necessary statements. Amorn denied all charges, including violations of the Computer Crime Act and fraud, and expressed surprise that a court warrant had been issued despite prior submissions of investigative points.

Justice Minister Rutthapol Naorawat confirmed that the DSI had arrested Theeraphong as one of the master group members and investment recruiters in the forex scheme. Regarding bail, authorities will determine whether to release him on bail or remand him to custody pending trial.

The Department of Mineral Resources has alerted six provinces—Tak, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, and Trat—to the heightened risk of landslides and flash floods due to persistent heavy rainfall and forecast rainfall expected to trigger ground movement. The Meteorological Department predicts heavy to very heavy rain across the northern, northeastern, and southern regions over the next 24 hours, with the northeast experiencing especially intense downpours caused by a low-pressure system centered over northern Vietnam and a strengthening southwest monsoon affecting the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Residents in these areas must prepare for sudden flooding and flash floods, particularly on hillsides near waterways and in valleys. Network volunteers in high-risk zones have been directed to maintain close surveillance of geological hazards and ready emergency response systems; officials must immediately inspect affected areas to reassure residents and provide initial guidance.
