Setha convinced that the commitment of major Japanese automakers is still strong.

Following the choice of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has expressed assurance that other automakers did not abandon their production bases in Thailand.

Suzuki announced on Friday that it would shut down its 12-year-old plant in Rayong at the end of 2025, affecting 800 employees, as it wanted to concentrate on creating electric cars abroad.

Mr. Srettha claimed on Saturday that the government also gave a lot of thought to the production of Chinese combustion engines. Meetings were held with big companies, including Toyota, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda and Mitsubishi, to explain the steps they need from the state, he said.

He also took part in the Asean-Japan 50th anniversary meeting with professionals from the automotive business that are active in Thailand on December 17, of last year. He claimed that the debate gave them more confidence to invest in Thailand.

The top said,” We respect Suzuki’s decision because its market share was comparatively small, and its vehicles generation may not have been matched by Thailand’s need.”

” Despite that, Suzuki maintains support centers for parts and repair in Thailand and continues to produce motorcycles.”

In a related development, the provincial’s mind of the Chachoengsao Labour Protection and Welfare Office expressed worry about the province’s worsening labor circumstance, which puts a considerable amount of vulnerable workers at risk of being laid off in the future.

In the automotive industry, which employs 39, 321 workers in 137 workplaces, the growing electric vehicle ( EV ) market had led to decline and stagnation in the combustion engine vehicle industry, said Suwanna Khantivisit.

Low economic growth, according to Isares Rattanadilok na Phuket, deputy chair of the Federation of Thai Industries, had forced the sector to take steps to reduce risks.

Government policies, such as the minimum wage increase and the promotion of EV imports, have harmed the sector’s competitiveness.

The government, meanwhile, has failed to consistently provide support for domestic industries, leading to financial strain from rising interest rates, high fuel and electricity costs and recent minimum wage adjustments, he said.

In the first half of this year, said Mr Isares, 360 factories were shut down, with investment loss estimated at 9.4 billion baht.

This resulted in the termination of more than 10, 000 workers, higher than the average of the past two years.

The number of factory closures may reach 700 if the 400- baht minimum wage&nbsp, goes into effect nationwide as some employers fear, as it could render some plants uncompetitive, Mr Isares said.

After speaking with officials, 82 fugitives were given permission to go back to their homes.

Following the widespread eviction of 100 drug abusers from a treatment facility on the island on Friday, the local people of Koh Siboya in Krabi state were immediately on high alert. The victims later claimed they were fleeing misuse.

Moo 7 community leader Yongyuth Fangkwa reported to police that a total of 100 medicine lovers were behind the Friday escape attempt at around 4pm.

About 30 authorities and administrative officers were dispatched to the isle to address residents ‘ concerns that the fugitives would aggravate the island’s people. However, the authorities arrived to find the fugitives gathered calmly near the region’s pier.

Authorities were informed by the team that they had organized their breakthrough because they had endured actual abuse and severe conditions at the rehabilitation facility while attempting to negotiate their profit.

The Foundation of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand’s Center for Education and Orphans is officially running the Pondok Koh Siboya Rehabilitation Centre.

After two days of deals, 82 fugitives were allowed to return to their homes. They were transported by ferry to the island, where they were taken to the Khlong Khan police station while their relatives waited for their delivery.

The defectors claimed that the service had suffered severe physical abuse and that some had suffered fatal injuries. Some people believe they were forced to work it despite having recovered from their vices.

In December next month, a 31- yr- old patient, identified just as Oak, collapsed and died at the same rehabilitation centre, according to media reports.

His mother claimed that she sent Oak to the facility on December 18 and paid 32, 000 baht because her son was dependent on marijuana and had a psychiatric condition.

Someone at the facility called the mother two weeks later, telling her that Oak had a stroke and urging her to visit him. Upon arrival, she found her son dead, with bruises on his body, raising her suspicions.

After the mother raised the subject on social media and the Hon Krasae talk show, the uncertainties surrounding Oak’s death became clear. When he left for the facility, she claimed that her son did n’t get any of the bruises. The death certificate stated, “unknown cause of death”, and the body was returned without any documentation, she added.

Later, the centre sent information and CCTV video to the TV programme, showing Oak collapsing on his own. The footage showed him walking unsteadily, stopping, and then collapsing.

Unidentified man demands B25 million in exchange for woman’s return

Help has been requested for a Chinese woman who was apparently kidnapped in Thailand and is being held for a ransom of 25 million baht.

Phra Kanong police in Bangkok were contacted by an interpreter for a cycling association on Friday, reporting that a 27-year-old Chinese woman named Lu Xinlei was being held for ransom.

According to the interpreter, a coach of the association was contacted by Ms Lu’s father after she went missing during a cycling trip in the country. Despite travelling with about 10 other cyclists, she vanished on Wednesday.

An unidentified man subsequently contacted the woman’s father on Friday, demanding 5 million yuan, or about 25 million baht, for her return to Shanghai.

In an update on Saturday, authorities said Ms Lu was confirmed as having left the Quarter Onnut hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 58 alone just after 3pm on Wednesday. Checks with immigration did not find any evidence that she had left Thailand.

All other members of the cycling party are being tracked down to confirm their safety and so that further information on the case can be collected.

Police are looking to have the interpreter, who identified himself only as Moo, give a statement in person, as he has only spoken to authorities by phone so far. No confirmation of the suspected kidnapping has yet been made.

The cause of the murder of a Burmese federal in Khon Kaen is still a mystery.

KHON KAEN: A local police officer turned himself in to the government on Saturday in connection with the deadly shooting of a person at a Muang area public clinics.

Pol Sgt Veeraphong Buayen, 35, attached to the Phra Yuen depot in Khon Kaen, turned himself in to Pol Col Pornsak Ngandee, research chief at the Khon Kaen municipal police department, at 9.30am.

According to a source with knowledge of the research, Pol Serge Veeraphong had coronary artery disease and depression. He was even known to have used medications, said the source.

To lessen his stress, the officer’s fast better moved him from the station’s investigation department to a duty officer position. However, the purpose for the killing was not yet known.

Suspect deceived immigrants, claiming he may make Thai documents in trade for B600, 000

As part of a global assault on criminals funded by institutions in China, a presumed scammer who deceived international victims into believing he could make false Thai passports was detained on Saturday.

Police executed a subpoena issued on May 24 by the Phra Nakhon Tai Kwaeng Court to assault 48- year- ancient Thanitpong, whose past name was withheld. In a prestigious apartment in Bangkok’s Ramkhamhaeng neighborhood, the suspect, who was wanted for scams, was apprehended.

Officials claimed Mr. Thanitpong offered to provide services to foreigners living in Thailand for a loan of 600,000 baht. A Tengyong bank accounts received the funds.

The target behind the investigation that led to his arrest claimed that the assume demanded an extra 1.3 million baht after the first settlement in October 2023 to speed up the procedure. A full of 1.9 million ringgit was transferred without success after the complaint was filed.

Before the Covid- 19 crisis, Mr. Thanitpong provided passport transformation services to immigrants who did not meet the citizenship requirements. He acknowledged the allegations and stated that he had acknowledged the allegations. He was unable to continue his work after Thai officials began to impose stricter penalties for crimes committed by entities in China. He was charged 2.5 million ringgit per person.

The suspect requested to bring all charges against himself after learning that a subpoena was also out for his father’s arrest because his father was aware of his plan.

A person of mysterious citizenship died early on Saturday when she fell from her place on the 25th floor of a condo in Pattaya.

This beach community in Chon Buri state has experienced five fatal falls in the past.

Police said the girl, aged around 30 to 40 years older, was wearing a colored T- shirt and shorts and was found dead in a lake of blood on the ground at the base&nbsp, of the 27- floor building near Pattaya beach. A security guard at the tower reported the incident to the police at 3.36am.

The security guard claimed to have witnessed a woman lying on the ground and that, upon closer examination, he eventually learned that she was dying.

Soldiers were looking through security camera footage and video to determine the woman’s cause of the incident while the girl was being identified. Authorities believed she fell from her chamber.

In Pattaya this month, there have been four prior incidents where people have fallen to their murders.

They include a 23-year-old Thai man who fell from a resort on June 1, a 38-year-old Russian man who fell from a property on June 3, an American male, 43, who fell from a resort balcony on June 4, and a 57-year-old European man who fell from a resort on June 5.

This month, the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF ) will convene a selection panel to decide whether to purchase Sweden’s Gripen fighter jets or F-16 aircraft.

Air pressure chief ACM Phanphakdee Phatthanakul updated the 19 billion baht plan to purchase four new fighter jets, saying the details are nearly finished, but the RTAF is also open to new ideas to ensure the best offer.

ACM Phanphakdee and the RTAF’s running board traveled to Sweden and the US previous month to meet with British manufacturer Lockheed Martin and Swedish dealer SAAB.

” We’ll maintain our choices open until the committee’s establishment to find the aircraft model,” he said. ” The collection process may look over all official papers.” The outcomes of the conference may not be used. We must get complete and reasonable”.

He assured that the purchasing plan will comply with the air force’s stated requirements for federal capability development, including the government’s offset plan. Countries that provide fresh military equipment to Thailand must comply with the offset policy by offering the same financial evaluations in diplomatic trade.

ACM Phanphakdee stated that the Office of the RTAF’s Comptroller and the Air Force’s Chief of Staff are prepared to support the purchasing program while the House committee is reviewing the saving plan for the 2025 fiscal year.

The RTAF is likely to find Job E/F fighter jets, according to a cause close to the investigation because the Swedish provider is said to have made a better plan regarding the offset plan.

The Swedish company’s offer is said to contain funding for maintenance and military training as well as replacing the Erieye detector system that was installed in its Saab 340, a Swedish flying early warning plane. In 2013, the air pressure acquired a ship of 12 Job soldiers based at Wing 7 in Surat Thani, but the aircraft lost one in a collision four years later.

The weather force’s white document outlining its growth goals includes the plane procurement scheme. The white papers includes a strategy to start the next fiscal year off with a new fleet of fighter jets and create a number of all-discipline development projects starting on October 1.

Govt. apprehensive fresh draft does favor Thaksin

The Pheu Thai Party reversed a previous statement that it would add Section 112, or the der qualifications law, to the asylum bill.

The issue is complicated and needs a common discussion, according to Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister, on Friday, to prevent further chaos.

The group has not yet decided whether to support a request to include Section 112 in the bill, according to Mr. Phumtham, Pheu Thai’s deputy leader.

Somkid Chueakong, a spokesman of the House committee that examines amnesty for political detainees and deputy secretary-general for political interests to the prime minister Srettha Thavisin, reported this week that some council members concurred with the plan to cover Part 112 offences under the act. He resisted the assertion that Pheu Thai always blasted the idea of including Part 112 crimes in the asylum bill.

Mr Phumtham said on Friday &nbsp, that the group may talk to the needs of the people. Things would be simpler and the group would move in that direction if every anxious group consented to grant asylum to those who violated 111.

Mr. Phumtham disregarded the criticism when asked about the criticism that the article might gain former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who has just been charged with a stability major offense, saying he did not pay attention to for a state.

” Now, we do not subject to or claim the plan. I think community is aware that this issue has both political and social effects. He claimed that the government is” trying to choose the best course of action” to avoid conflict.

In an interview he gave to a paper in Seoul on February 21, 2015, the attorney general announced Thaksin’s prosecution on May 29 regarding this and other computer violence transgressions.

He has been given an appearance at the Office of the Attorney General on June 18 after being delayed due to a May 29 Covid illness.

Although he was spotted visiting a spa store in the Phloenchit neighborhood of Pathumwan region on Wednesday, Thaksin has never appeared in front of the media since that day.

Nanthiwat Samart, a former deputy chairman of the National Intelligence Agency, also posted a warning on Instagram about how the move resembled the May 2014 coup d’etat.

In 2013, the Yingluck management attempted to pass a blanket social amnesty bill in order to cover up Thaksin, who was then in self-imposed exile. The act ignited big protests led by the Women’s Democratic Reform Committee, which culminated in the resignation of the Pheu Thai- led management, said Mr Nanthiwat.
