At 10:00 a.m. on August 10, 2025, at the Technology Crime Investigation Bureau (TCIB) in Thonburi, Major Thanakrit Chittaareerat and a 25-year-old woman identified as Ms. A met with Deputy Commander Wiwat Khamchanit to pursue a case against her ex-boyfriend who posted intimate videos on social media and engaged in harassment and threats at her home, showing no respect for the law. He continued posting images even after his arrest and release on bail.

Dr. Thanakrit stated that this latest complaint came after previous legal action, yet the defendant's behavior had not ceased and new incidents continued to occur, necessitating urgent investigation and fact-checking. The funeral wreath and two banana plants sent after the initial report should be examined to determine if they constitute new offenses. If evidence links them to the defendant, strict legal action must follow.

Ms. A revealed that after her ex-boyfriend's arrest and bail release, he posted nude photos in a group with 140,000 members, causing her distress. She believes only he could have done this, as the photos existed only between them. When she confronted him, he challenged her to report him, which she interpreted as intimidation meant to force reconciliation. He also threatened to drive past her home, placed two banana plants—symbols of death—in front of her house, threatened to kill her and her mother, sent a pink funeral wreath addressed to her mother's name with cash-on-delivery payment of 168 baht (with her phone number on the package), and called her threatening to kill. All of this left her terrified and wanting to end her life.

Deputy Commander Wiwat said investigators will gather evidence and take a detailed statement from Ms. A. If the defendant is found responsible while facing outstanding charges, authorities can petition to revoke his bail. Evidence presented today is circumstantial; investigators need detailed testimony to confirm the defendant's identity. If he posted the images, he faces up to 5 years imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 100,000 baht or both. Those who shared or forwarded the obscene content face similar penalties.

Police responded on August 10, 2025, to a shooting incident at the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) office in Muang Nonthaburi district. Officers found Governor Thongchai Yenpraset and his driver both wounded from gunfire. Both were rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.

The gunman was identified as Chaloeng Riao-raeng, a former Nonthaburi MP, who later surrendered at a police station. Authorities are investigating the incident and gathering evidence.

According to reports, after the shooting Chaloeng called media personality Jae Pong Anchalee Praieeraksa during her radio show and described the incident. Jae Pong later recounted their conversation, saying Chaloeng told her he had fired four to five shots at the governor. She advised him to sit down, put down the gun, and remove the bullets.

Jae Pong quoted Chaloeng as saying: "I shot someone to death. I'm hurt. I've supported the other side in everything. I asked and demanded 11 million baht back. The other side said they don't have it and mistreated me. I've made my decision. I'm going to shoot them. I'll turn myself in afterward."

Jae Pong also mentioned Chaloeng referenced a dispute over parliamentary candidate endorsements, saying he had previously asked them not to submit a candidate, but they went ahead anyway.

Bangkok's City Council President Pattaraphon Kaengrungruengchai announced the latest developments in the investigation of allegations that a councilor from Yannawa district cast votes on behalf of colleagues during a City Council session. She explained the administration's approach to ensure transparency and fairness to all parties following the incident on July 31. Upon receiving the complaint, she immediately instructed the council secretariat to compile footage from all relevant cameras and prepare to submit the materials to a fact-finding committee and other legally authorized agencies upon request, exercising her authority as council president.

On July 31, she sent an urgent letter to the City Council secretariat to verify and examine all recordings from council chamber cameras, including those from live-streaming contractors. On August 3, she reported preliminary findings to the council session, which was broadcast live. After reviewing the initial data on camera recordings, she sent another urgent request on August 4 for the tape of the August 31 council meeting between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

On August 6, she received a formal complaint letter from Srisuwarn Chariya that was submitted to the council on August 3 and had been verified for proper form and content by the council secretariat. On August 7, she accelerated the scheduling of a City Council session to establish the fact-finding committee on August 17, extending the session period from August 12 to August 27.

However, given that the period of August 5 to September 15 is reserved for budget review, during which councilors must fulfill their duties and sometimes participate in over 20 subcommittee meetings simultaneously, scheduling an emergency council session could disrupt compliance with the 45-day legal deadline. Therefore, the agenda to establish the fact-finding committee was scheduled for August 17, the most urgent date, when only one special budget committee meeting is expected.

According to the Bangkok City Council Member Code of Conduct B.E. 2559, the council must nominate three fact-finding committee members. Any excess nominations will require a vote to reach a conclusion. The fact-finding committee will independently investigate the facts and relevant evidence before submitting their findings to the council president for further action according to the regulations.

She affirmed that both councilors and the public will receive fair treatment based on identical evidence, facts, and rules applied equally by the Bangkok City Council.
