Yadea Technology (Thailand) Company Limited, the manufacturer and distributor of Yadea electric motorcycles in Thailand, held a press conference on July 10 to unveil its first electric motorcycles in the country at Pathaleya in Bangkok. Yang Xiaofei, Chief Executive Officer of Yadea Technology (Thailand) Limited, announced the launch of the Yadea GT80 and GT80-P models under the concept of "New Freedom, Go Further." He highlighted that Yadea is the world's leading smart electric vehicle brand with a global business foundation and has been the number one seller of two-wheeled electric vehicles for nine consecutive years.

The timing of this launch is significant as consumers increasingly seek alternatives to reduce daily commuting costs, especially with rising fuel prices. Market research shows that many consumers want electric vehicles with longer ranges and higher speeds, particularly those transitioning from petrol to electric motorcycles, including urban commuters and daily riders.

The Yadea GT80 and GT80-P stand out by combining three key innovations: performance, design, and safety technology. Both models feature a powerful 3,000W motor reaching maximum speeds of 90 kilometers per hour and LFP lithium batteries for everyday use. The GT80 has a 72V 50Ah battery with a maximum range of 110 kilometers per charge, while the GT80-P features a 72V 80Ah battery (72V 50Ah + 72V 30Ah) with a maximum range of 170 kilometers per charge. Charging time is 8-10 hours from 0-100%, or 2-3 hours with fast charging.

Two intoxicated men riding a motorcycle weaved dangerously for more than a kilometer before colliding head-on with a sedan, killing both riders. On July 10, 2569, police in Muang Rayong District responded to reports of a motorcycle-car collision with fatalities on Mae Rampung Beach Road in Tambon Tatpong. At the scene, officers found one male victim on the roadside while another injured male was already transported to hospital. The motorcycle lay overturned and severely damaged, while the Nissan sedan's front was badly crushed. The second victim later died at the hospital.

A witness provided dashcam footage to police showing the motorcycle's erratic path from Ban Kon Ao in Tambol Phe heading toward Mae Rampung Beach. The two men appeared heavily intoxicated, swerving repeatedly across lanes for over one kilometer and narrowly missing several oncoming vehicles before finally crossing into the sedan's lane at high speed, resulting in a violent collision that threw both riders across the road.

Police initially transported both victims to hospital and are investigating the incident further under criminal law.

The National Sports Development Fund (NSDF) and Border Patrol Police (BPP) are delivering sports facilities, equipment, and bicycles to Ban Tatum Border Patrol Police School in Sangkhla District, Surin Province as part of their collaborative "School of Knowledge, Hall of Hope" program. The initiative is designed to improve the quality of life for children and youth in border areas by creating access to sports and fitness activities while strengthening relationships between schools, border police, and local communities.

The third facility under the program will be inaugurated on July 11 at Ban Tatum Border Patrol Police School. High-ranking officials including Defense Ministry Minister Adul Buntharmejarun, Surin Governor Jamoen Wanphet, and Border Patrol Police Commander Rungrot Takurapunnanisiri will attend the ceremony.

Beyond the equipment donation, coach Prasert Dathong of the Surin Hin Khon women's football team will conduct sports clinics and training sessions alongside local Muay Thai instructors to motivate youth. The July 11 event will feature football, volleyball, and soft ball competitions starting at 9 a.m., with teams from four Border Patrol Police schools participating.

Police arrested a 28-year-old mixed-race woman on July 10, 2569, for allegedly forcing three girls aged 18, 17, and 13 into sex work. The suspect denied the allegations when questioned, claiming she never forced anyone and that the girls voluntarily asked for her assistance to earn money. She stated she was planning to quit the profession and was about to start a legitimate job on Monday when arrested.

Three girls—an 18-year-old, 17-year-old, and 13-year-old—filed complaints accusing the suspect of coercing them into sexual services, threatening to bring friends to assault them if they refused. Video evidence of an assault on the 13-year-old was submitted as proof.

At 4 p.m., police from the Udon Thani Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking Center, led by Lt. Col. Sermpol Pierschaisong and Maj. Wattanaphong Kaewphirom, arrested the suspect at a dormitory in Mueang District, Udon Thani, with 2,000 baht in cash seized.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to having five women under her control aged 15-23, with the 13-year-old having run away. She denied taking a cut but acknowledged it was common practice. She admitted to striking the 13-year-old twice in the video but claimed others joined in because the girl was disrespectful.

The suspect stated: "I was about to quit this profession and start a new job on Monday. Getting arrested is a life lesson. Even children bite. I want to apologize to society and use this case as an example. There are many like this, but they find ways to escape. Use me as an example of why this is bad. Whether the girls agree or not, they do make money, but it's not worth it."

Police initially charged her with human trafficking, procuring prostitution, and child exploitation. Authorities will coordinate with relevant agencies to provide psychological support and rehabilitation for the victims.

Police arrested Rungrot, a suspect in the 'Pho Tip' fraud group, at Bang Yai Police Station on July 10 at 5:30 p.m. When questioned about why he signed as a father for Chinese families, Rungrot revealed that a Chinese acquaintance had introduced him to the scheme. He was instructed to marry a Chinese woman first, then sign birth certificates, earning 1,500-3,000 baht per transaction as compensation. Rungrot admitted he had certified three children over nearly a decade, with the second and third certifications occurring about a year apart. He claimed he no longer contacts the Chinese group involved and has had no recent contact with them. When asked why he participated, Rungrot claimed he thought it was legal since the marriages were properly registered, and blamed his youth for not fully understanding the implications.

Immigration officials arrived at the station to revoke visas for two Chinese nationals—Ms. Wu Mei Cheng and Mr. Liu Shuqian—a married couple who hired Rungrot as a father figure for their child. During the document signing, Ms. Wu Mei was reported crying while thinking of her two-year-old child, who was also crying after their arrest. Both suspects were taken into custody without commenting to the media.

Later at 6:40 p.m., police also brought in Pattipoom, another 'Pho Tip' suspect arrested at a residence in Thonburi, to Bang Yai Police Station for interrogation. He also declined to answer media questions before being detained.

On July 10, retired Police Major General Somsakdchai Amorsongcharoen, formerly commander of the Nonthaburi City Police Station, revealed his intention to sell a solid gold Phra Somdej Buddha image inherited from the era of King Rama V. The statue, one of only eight created by royal decree and blessed by Somdej Phra Buddhajaroen the Great, is being offered at 300 million baht. Somsakdchai explained that at his advanced age, with uncertain health prospects and descendants uninterested in religious artifacts, he fears this historically significant piece could be lost to those who don't appreciate its value. He decided to sell now while he can distribute the proceeds fairly to his family.

Somsakdchai noted that Japanese billionaires have already purchased three pieces at 3 billion baht each, with one remaining in his possession and the status of the other four pieces unclear. He set the price at 300 million baht—far below the 3 billion baht paid by Japanese collectors—specifically to ensure the artifact remains in Thailand and finds its way to a Thai owner with the means to properly care for it. He emphasized that all authentication checks have been completed, including scientific analysis, condition assessment, pawn shop verification, and expert certification.

Somsakdchai received this particular statue from his father around 2554 (2011) when his father served as commander of Nonthaburi City Police Station. The rarity of these eight statues makes them among the most expensive Buddhist amulets in circulation today, with minimal documentation of their origins known to the general public.
