An 86-year-old woman named Nang Eam collapsed suddenly at her home and was transported to hospital by emergency responders, but later died. While the family initially focused on her medical emergency, they subsequently discovered that several items had gone missing: a one-baht gold necklace, closed-eye Luang Pu Tim amulets, tamarind powder amulets, candies, and Luang Pu Tim sacred water that had been collected since 1974, with a combined value of hundreds of thousands of baht.

On July 9, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., the deceased woman's 87-year-old husband Nai Sumet, along with their daughter and son-in-law, filed a report with investigator Police Lieutenant Wittaya Kulbun at Ban Khai Police Station. They brought photographs showing the woman wearing the gold necklace while still alive as evidence.

Family members confirmed that the elderly woman always wore the gold necklace and never removed it, except occasionally to hang it on a nail by the house pillar—a location well known within the family. However, given the sudden collapse, no one had the chance to notice when it disappeared.

Ban Khai Police Superintendent Pol. Colonel Pramod Kongkahlai stated that upon receiving the complaint, he immediately ordered investigators to inspect the scene and establish a timeline of events while interviewing all relevant persons. Police are preparing to conduct a thorough search of the house once the family is ready, as they are currently grieving and occupied with funeral preparations at Bung Ton Chan Temple in Ban Khai District, Rayong Province.

"We now have preliminary information about who entered and exited the scene, including municipal officials and rescue workers who arrived first," the superintendent said. "We will gather all evidence to clarify this case and ensure justice for all parties involved."

The Senate passed the draft Clean Air Management Act with 145 votes in favor, 4 opposed, and 11 abstentions on July 9, 2569, following a three-day review period from July 6-9. The special committee, chaired by Senator Wuttichart Kalyanamit, completed its second-reading deliberation with substantial amendments to the 273-article bill based on feedback from the House of Representatives. The legislation will now return to the House for consideration of whether to approve the Senate's modifications in the next parliamentary session, as the current session closes July 11.

She warned that enforcement could affect individuals and private businesses alike, while the discretion granted to officials may increase opportunities for corruption.
