Police at Bang Khae Station, along with volunteers from the Tai Mai Thon (Thai Won't Tolerate) group, arrested 21-year-old Shan construction worker Nai Rai on July 27, 2569 after the victim's relatives sought help through the Tai Mai Thon network. The girl's family reported that the suspect had sexually abused their 15-year-old relative, who was left unattended in a condominium while her mother worked elsewhere. Officers apprehended the suspect outside a convenience store on Jaeng Wattana 5 Road in Lat Phrao district.

According to Ton Aeo Pen Nueang, a volunteer coordinator, after receiving the report from Tae Tai Mai Thon, they gathered evidence and coordinated with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), which specializes in child protection cases. They reviewed communications between the victim and the suspect, and learned that the suspect had arranged to meet the girl, prompting them to plan an intervention. The victim is currently confirmed to have contracted sexually transmitted infections, and her menstrual cycle has stopped, raising serious concerns about possible pregnancy.

The victim's mother has been criticized for leaving her young daughter alone in the condominium while she worked. The case also raised questions about the suspect's immigration status; he reportedly works without a formal employer but holds a pink ID card. Officials expressed concern about unregistered migrant workers and emphasized the need for stronger enforcement by government agencies.

Ae Tae Tai Mai Thon stated that he discussed the case with the suspect, who admitted to knowing the girl through social media and acknowledged the sexual relationship but claimed he did not know her age. The suspect, being Shan, may have had communication barriers. A children's home and child protection agency in Bangkok will now take custody of the victim for care and medical evaluation, including pregnancy testing if necessary.

Tae also commented on parental responsibility, urging mothers and fathers to take greater care of their children and respond immediately when there are signs of trouble, rather than leaving children to seek help from others. He emphasized that prevention is better than remediation, as some harm cannot be reversed once it occurs.

Police at Bang Khae Station continue to investigate the suspect and will proceed with legal action accordingly.

A husband-and-wife theft duo who prowled residential areas stealing motorcycles have been arrested. The two suspects, dressed in sleepwear and wearing helmets, rode to a dormitory in Moo 7, Chiang Rak Noi Subdistrict, Bang Pa-In District, Ayutthaya Province on July 24. The woman pushed an unlocked Honda Wave motorcycle away while her husband waited on a separate bike, and security cameras captured the theft clearly.

Both confessed to conducting midnight motorcycle patrols, targeting vehicles left unlocked, and specifically choosing Honda Wave models because they are popular and quick to resell. Investigators charged them with nighttime theft while concealing their identities and using vehicles to facilitate their crimes. They were detained pending prosecution.

Authorities in Si Sa Ket have launched an operation to dismantle a major drug trafficking network that hid methamphetamine pills by burying them in remote rice field huts and along water reservoirs to avoid police detection, ultimately seizing 267,600 pills.

An ex-husband has shot and killed his ex-wife, a prominent business owner in Lampang province, at their shared residence. The incident is believed to stem from a property dispute.

On July 27, Pol. Lt. Wichian Jaisan Klang, an investigator at Muang Lampang Police Station, responded to a report of a shooting inside a house in Wieng Nuea subdistrict, Muang district, Lampang province. He coordinated with Pol. Col. Komsarn Barungyot, commander of Muang Lampang Police Station, and Pol. Lt. Thani Chantantakul, deputy commander, along with forensic teams, five forensic doctors from Lampang Hospital, and rescue workers to investigate the scene.

At the two-story concrete house, officers found the body of Ms. Thanyapat, 54, a business owner in Lampang province, in front of the kitchen area. Initial investigation revealed that the suspect is Chainorin, 61, the ex-husband. Although the couple had divorced, they continued to live in the same house. Neighbors reported hearing them arguing loudly before gunshots rang out, prompting them to alert police.

When officers arrived, the woman was already dead. Several spent bullet casings were found on the street in front of the house, believed to have been discarded by the suspect after the shooting. According to people close to the family, the couple had agreed to divide assets following their divorce, but the man did not receive the agreed-upon sum, which led to disputes. This is believed to be the trigger for the incident. Police are gathering evidence and witness statements to determine the exact cause and proceed with legal action.

Parliament Speaker Sopon Saramyuth presided over a seminar on July 27, 2026, at parliament to promote national awareness and loyalty to the monarchy, with Buddhist prayers and merit-making offerings for the King's health and prosperity. The event, titled "The Monarchy Institution and Thai Society," was held to demonstrate gratitude and reverence for the monarch, emphasizing that the monarchy institution is irreplaceable and invaluable to the nation. Sopon recalled a childhood experience his grandmother shared about traveling over 15 kilometers by cart to greet the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit in Lamphlayamaj District, Buriram Province, illustrating the loyalty of Thai citizens willing to travel far to pay respects to the royal family. In 2015, during the King's birthday observance on December 5, Sopon participated in a flower offering ceremony in Lamphlayamaj District alongside residents dressed in formal attire, which he described as a moving reflection of public devotion to the monarchy. He established a "Good Deeds Club for the Father of the Nation" to promote the philosophy of sufficiency economy and jointly planted 100,000 trees with local government without using state budget, dedicating the effort as merit-making for the King. The reforested area in Lamphlayamaj District now serves as an important natural resource conservation zone and a tribute to the monarchy, aligning with the late King's conservation legacy and engaging communities in sustainable forest preservation. Sopon pledged to continue promoting civic awareness, particularly among youth, to honor the nation that ancestors protected and to follow the late King's footsteps in conserving and developing the country's natural resources for future generations. The event concluded with participants engaging in Buddhist meditation and prayer practices under the principles of charity, moral conduct, and mindfulness, with all merit dedicated to the King's health and longevity on the occasion of his birthday on July 28, 2026.
