Arrest warrants were issued for six police officers in connection with the fatal shooting of a highway police officer at the house of Praween Chanklai, also known as “Kamnan Nok.”
Investigators recovered crucial evidence, including a CCTV server dumped in a canal and the suspected handgun buried near a swamp, with a prison official arrested for disposing of the server.
Deputy national police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn harshly reprimanded the 25 police officers present, condemning their "unacceptable" conduct for allegedly facilitating the gunman's escape and evidence destruction.
The gunman, identified as “Nong,” was later shot and killed by police in Kanchanaburi after resisting arrest.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
