A highway police sergeant was shot multiple times by a colleague at their service station in Chachoengsao after a work-related dispute escalated following a restaurant gathering.
On July 23, Chachoengsao police received a report of a gunfire dispute resulting in injuries near the Bang Kla Highway Police service unit in Tha Thong Luang subdistrict. Officers found Sergeant Yutthapong shot multiple times with a 9mm handgun in the chest, left arm, and hip, with bullets lodged in his body. He remained conscious and was transported to Buddhasothorn Hospital. At the scene, police apprehended Officer Pitsanu Malayson, who was waiting to surrender. Preliminary investigation revealed both officers work at the same service station with rotating 10-day shifts. Yutthapong is the station supervisor; Pitsanu's shift happened to start that day. The two, along with approximately 10 other police personnel, had attended a gathering at a restaurant in Plaeng Yao district. Tensions over work-related matters began at the restaurant and continued after they returned to the service station. Unable to resolve the dispute verbally, Pitsanu retrieved a handgun and fired over 10 shots, seriously wounding Yutthapong. A nearby resident heard shouting and multiple gunshots, then witnessed the incident through a window. Police are collecting evidence and will pursue legal proceedings.

The southwest monsoon has moderate strength over Thailand, the Andaman Sea, and the Gulf of Thailand, combined with a low-pressure system over northern Vietnam. Residents in the North and upper Northeast are advised to prepare for hazardous heavy and accumulated rainfall.

A large tree toppled onto a white pickup truck in Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai during heavy rain and strong winds on July 22, crushing the roof and damaging power lines, though no injuries were reported.
In Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai, heavy rain and powerful gusts of wind toppled a large tree onto a white pickup truck, crushing the roof and front fenders. Power lines were also damaged at the scene. Fortunately, no injuries or deaths were reported.
On July 22, 2025, Rача Kamphinit, subdistrict headman of Ta Ton, reported the natural disaster in Ta Ton Subdistrict, Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai Province. The fallen tree caused severe damage to the pickup truck, with the roof and front bumper area completely collapsed.
The strong winds also brought down power lines in the area. An initial inspection found no reports of injuries or fatalities from the incident.
Following the incident, the Ta Ton Subdistrict Administration coordinated with the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation office to deploy chainsaws and machinery to cut, trim, and remove the fallen tree debris that was blocking the vehicle and surrounding area.
Simultaneously, the Mae Ai District Provincial Electricity Authority was contacted to dispatch crews to repair and restore the damaged power lines, ensuring public safety and restoring electricity service to normal as quickly as possible.
A som tam vendor in Pattaya stabbed a customer in the neck during a street altercation on July 23, claiming self-defense after the woman threw ice and damaged her display case in Bang Lamung District.
On July 23, emergency responders in Pattaya were called to a dispute with injuries in the Pattaya Beachside Alley 13/2 area in Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri. Officers from Pattaya City Police Station and rescue volunteers rushed to the scene, where crowds of residents and tourists gathered in shock.
Ms. Wan, 33, a tomboy, was found with a knife wound to the neck and bleeding heavily. She recounted that she had intervened to stop the som tam vendor from bothering her mother figure (a neighboring food vendor, not a biological relative), but was instead cursed at and attacked with a cutting knife multiple times.
Ms. Rungarun, 55, the som tam vendor accused of the attack, explained that the injured woman had come in ranting that she had a problem with a nearby food stall owner—though there had been no actual conflict. The woman threw ice at her and smashed her display case. Unable to tolerate it, Rungarun grabbed her papaya-cutting knife and slashed in self-defense. She admitted to the attack and the verbal abuse, saying she had previously given the woman food and water out of kindness.
A nearby food vendor, known as P'Fa, 60, clarified that the injured woman was not Rungarun's biological child but liked to call her "mother." The woman had ordered food, then suddenly started quarreling with the som tam vendor, falsely claiming they had fought—which wasn't true.
Local residents added that the injured woman often caused trouble when drunk and was unpredictable. Pattaya City Police have questioned the som tam vendor at the station, while the injured woman is being treated and will give a statement once recovered to establish the true cause of the incident.
Two brothers escaped an armed gang of teenagers in Chon Buri after being chased and threatened with a gun on their motorcycle, abandoning their bike and jumping a barrier to flee. Police are investigating the attack, which appears linked to
Chon Buri — Phanudech Kha-Ikai, 22, reported that he and his older cousin were pursued and attacked by approximately 6-7 teenagers on the evening of July 20 while riding their motorcycle near home. One attacker wielded a firearm and threatened them, while others threw bottles as the gang chased them on motorcycles, boxing them in from front and back. Fearing they would be shot, the brothers abandoned their bike, drew a knife for defense, and ultimately jumped a barrier to escape with their lives. CCTV footage partially captured the attack, which they reported to Pattaya City police.
The incident appears connected to a previous dispute involving one gang member who had pursued the older brother's girlfriend days earlier. Although the two sides had reportedly resolved the matter just one day before the attack, the gang apparently sought revenge. The brothers are determined to press charges and have urged police to apprehend the suspects quickly and pursue the case to its fullest extent.
An Indian tourist exhausted while swimming in Pattaya waters was rescued by city officials and speedboat operators on July 23 and safely returned to shore.
Chachoengsao – On July 23, 2025, Pattaya City officials, special operations staff, and speedboat operators responded to rescue an Indian tourist who became weak while swimming in the sea and was unable to swim back to shore.
After receiving the distress report, officials and nearby speedboat operators rushed to assist immediately and safely brought the tourist back to shore with cooperation from all parties involved in the rescue operation.
Pattaya City thanked the speedboat operators, citizens, and all officials who worked together to save the tourist's life safely.
Pattaya City also appealed to all tourists to exercise caution when swimming in the sea, assess their own physical condition, and always prioritize safety to prevent accidents and emergencies at sea.
A fierce fire destroyed five wooden homes in Khon Kaen's Ban Don Bom community on July 23, with firefighters taking an hour to contain the blaze that injured several responders when a roof collapsed. Officials suspect an electrical short ci
Firefighters from multiple municipal fire departments in Khon Kaen responded on July 23 to combat a rapidly spreading blaze that consumed five homes in Ban Don Bom, Mueang Kao Subdistrict, Mueang District. The fire spread quickly through the wooden structures in the densely populated community, requiring coordinated efforts from local fire brigades to prevent further damage to adjacent buildings. Officials including Khon Kaen Governor Kachon Kiat Rakpanitmani and Mueang District Officer Pichhai Wanta directed firefighting efforts that took approximately one hour to bring under control.
During the operation, a tile roof collapsed, injuring firefighters who were clearing the area. Medical personnel provided first aid before transporting those injured to receive treatment for wounds about 3 centimeters wide. The homeowner, a 54-year-old man named Noon, was absent when the fire started. Residents spotted smoke billowing from the second floor before the fire erupted with intensity. Initial investigation suggests the cause was likely electrical short circuit, though police forensics will conduct further examination.
Governor Kachon Kiat instructed village leaders to survey older homes at risk of electrical hazards and advise residents to have faulty wiring inspected, as electrical short circuits remain a leading cause of residential fires in the community.
