A tourist has called for better safety standards after claiming passengers on a Koh Larn diving trip were left in the water as a storm approached. She said tourists entered the sea as usual, despite worsening wind and waves, and only learned of the danger after a staff member returned to the boat warning of the storm. As conditions deteriorated, passengers struggled to climb back onto the rocking vessel while life buoys were pushed away by the waves. The tourist said she, her sister, and other passengers had to seek help from nearby boats and jet ski staff during the frightening incident. No injuries or deaths were reported, but the tourist criticised the lack of warnings, staff support, and follow-up explanation from the tour operator. Homesick Conscripts Arrested After Camp Escape and Motorcycle Theft
Two young conscripts were arrested after allegedly fleeing a military camp in Udon Thani and stealing a woman’s motorcycle. The men, aged 22 and 20, had reportedly been in training for only 18 days before escaping by climbing over a rear fence. Police said CCTV captured them taking a Vespa worth about 181,900 baht after the owner left the key inside. The pair told officers they were homesick and had planned to travel back to their families, claiming they did not intend to keep the motorcycle permanently. Both later tested positive for methamphetamine and were charged with theft using a vehicle and illegal use of a Category 1 narcotic. Singha Family Dispute Draws Public Attention Across Thailand
The Singha family drama centres on a public dispute involving members of the Bhirombhakdi family, owners of Boon Rawd Brewery, which produces Singha and Leo beer. Siranudh “Psi” Scott, a conservation activist and fourth-generation family member, publicly accused his older brother Sunit “Pi” Scott of repeatedly sexually assaulting him during childhood. Pi denied the allegations, while a voice recording released by Psi intensified public attention and criticism. Boon Rawd Brewery later confirmed that Pi had stepped down from all executive roles, with the company saying it opposed domestic violence and would cooperate with authorities. The dispute has also involved public apologies, celebrity backlash, and a separate civil lawsuit over inherited property, while no formal criminal case had been publicly confirmed at the time of reporting. British Traveller’s Bag Delayed After Sex Toy Alert on Thai Flight
A British traveller had her suitcase held for 24 hours after airport staff flagged a sex toy inside her luggage during a flight from Koh Samui to Bangkok. Oliwia Krol, 24, said she panicked after landing at Suvarnabhumi Airport and seeing staff holding a sign with her name while her bag failed to arrive. She was told the suitcase had not been loaded because of a prohibited item, which she initially thought might have been a cigarette lighter. Officials later explained that the alert involved an intimate item, which turned out to be her vibrator. After signing documents allowing the suitcase to be searched in Samui, she later collected the bag and described the incident as embarrassing but funny in hindsight.
