At the RWS event on Saturday, May 9, the main event championship bout in the 118-pound Rajdamnern division concluded swiftly when "Charoen Suk Boonlannammauythai" retained his title with a crushing elbow strike that knocked out "Punyai Por Lukbun" in the second round, earning a 350,000 baht bonus on his way home.

This was Charoen Suk's fourth consecutive RWS appearance, where he showcased his aggressive fighting style that has won over boxing enthusiasts. He continues to hold the 118-pound Rajdamnern championship in dominant fashion for nearly a year now, making it extremely difficult for any challenger to stop him.

His recent three fights have generated substantial prize earnings from the RWS stage. What's remarkable is that Charoen Suk has climbed from earning just 800 baht as a debut fighter to achieving "million-baht boxer" status—all at the tender age of 19.

**Recent Prize Money Breakdown:** - Scored points victory over Kazuki Osaka (R80 event, December 27, 2025): 1,000,000 baht bonus - TKO victory over Captain Team Thailand (RWS event, February 28, 2025): 350,000 baht bonus - TKO victory over Punyai Por Lukbun (RWS event, May 9, 2025): 350,000 baht bonus

With bonuses totaling 1,700,000 baht and fight purses averaging around 100,000 baht per bout, Charoen Suk has accumulated at least 2,000,000 baht in income from RWS events alone. Beyond achieving million-baht status at just 19 years old, he has also gained international recognition and established himself as one of the leading Thai boxers of this era.

Residents of Huay Yai subdistrict in Bang Lamung, Chachoengsao were alarmed to discover that a residential property housing a young Chinese national was actually a compact arsenal containing numerous weapons of war, heavy firearms, high-explosive demolition bombs, multiple types of explosives, bomb-making equipment, and fuel. The residence also contained body armor fitted with C-4 explosives and other bomb types. Beyond alarming local residents, the entire nation has been shocked by a foreign national with apparent connections to influential networks managing to legally reside in Thailand while acquiring such a massive stockpile of weapons through procurement channels. Urgent investigation is needed to determine the intended purpose of this arsenal. Most critically, authorities must identify which government officials are involved in documentation fraud, weapons procurement, and gun purchases—the connections to uniformed personnel are already evident, with a police officer's handgun mysteriously surfacing in the arsenal. As investigations continue, embarrassing revelations are likely to emerge from multiple agencies, with officials having prioritized personal gain while ignoring the potential consequences, despite their government positions. However, credit must be given to Pol. Lt. Nilaphat Thongyord, a traffic police officer at Na Chom Thian Police Station, whose quick thinking led him to suspect a traffic accident driver, discover weapons during a vehicle search, alert investigators to conduct a house search, and uncover this arsenal—preventing what could have been a far more catastrophic incident. Thorough investigation is now required to determine the arsenal's purpose and whether it was intended for any serious criminal activity, alongside holding accountable the government officials involved in documentation fraud and weapons trafficking, whose offenses should carry severe penalties given their official status. This case recalls serious criminal activity in the southern border region, where a government vehicle was used in a parliamentary representative assassination stemming from a popular election, with seven suspects arrested and currently facing charges—all either former or current officials. However, that case has stalled, with investigators appearing reluctant to pursue it further up the chain of command, raising questions about the level of influence and whose orders led to the shooting and why the case remains at a standstill. Yet, it must be remembered that the Phak Pracha Chat (Palang Pracharath Party) has taken the matter seriously, establishing a dedicated task force to track leads with close oversight from former investigator Pol. Col. Thawi Sod Sob, with party leadership directly supervising the team. When government officials become involved in such cases, can law enforcement officials tasked with upholding the law afford to cover it up?
