13 Sept 06:42Key points summarised by AI
Police impounded over 130 cars from a "car for cash" dealer in Chon Buri, who illegally re-sold vehicles pawned by their owners without consent.
The operation targeted the "Jae Ploy Chon Buri" network, which allegedly offered instant car loans at an illegal 10% monthly interest rate.
Two suspects have been arrested, with warrants issued for six more, as the investigation expands to include borrowers who may have pawned hire-purchase cars.

Today 15:02Key points summarised by AI
Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
