KRABI — 21 January 2026, Police in southern Thailand arrested a petrol station owner on Tuesday after he allegedly opened fire on an excavator amid a land dispute, authorities said.
The incident occurred late morning at a banana plantation beside the Khao Phanom–Chai Buri road in Moo 3, Khao Din subdistrict, Khao Phanom district. Police at Khao Phanom station said they received a report that a gunman had fired at an excavator, with a bullet striking the driver’s cabin of a saloon car. The round did not penetrate the cabin and no injuries were reported.
Officers who arrived at the scene found the excavator owner and its driver waiting to give statements. Police said more than 20 shots were fired in three bursts from a house about 100 metres away, adjacent to the plantation. When officers attempted to approach the house, the gate was locked from the inside.
At about 11:00, Khao Phanom police chief Col. Jenapob Butkinree coordinated with Krabi provincial police. Provincial police commander Maj. Gen. Sukasem Nakwilai led more than 30 officers to surround the house, citing concerns that firearms were inside. Relatives were asked to negotiate with the suspect, and after more than an hour one relative persuaded him to open the gate and surrender.
The suspect was identified as Akkadet Jindarak, 55, a resident of Moo 3 in Khao Din subdistrict and the owner of a local petrol station. He initially denied firing any shots.
A search of his bedroom uncovered a 9mm handgun hidden under a pillow with a magazine and 10 rounds of ammunition. However, police said the shell casings found at the firing point outside the house were 11mm, with four casings recovered. After further questioning, the suspect admitted to firing the weapon and said he had hidden it in a nearby plantation.
Police later recovered an 11mm handgun with more than 30 rounds of ammunition, and a long-barrel shotgun with five shells concealed inside the house.
During questioning, the suspect told investigators he fired to intimidate others due to a land dispute involving the area where the excavator had been hired to work. He was taken to Khao Phanom police station for further questioning. Police said charges had not yet been filed pending additional interviews with the vehicle owner, the driver and witnesses.
Vietnam is preparing to nominate the Oc Eo–Ba The archaeological site in An Giang province, southern Vietnam, for UNESCO World Heritage status, highlighting its role as a major hub of ancient regional exchange.
The site features temple architecture, stilt-house remains, and wells and reservoirs made of stone, brick and wood. Archaeologists have also found evidence of jewellery production using precious stones, glass and gold.
Authorities describe Oc Eo–Ba The as a significant historical and cultural “crossroads” linking ancient Southeast Asian kingdoms with regions in South Asia, Southwest Asia and Northeast Asia.
According to Vietnam’s provincial heritage management committee, UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre added Oc Eo–Ba The to its Tentative List on 4 January 2022, a key step toward full World Heritage inscription.
The site was first excavated in February 1942 by French archaeologist Louis Malleret, who identified it through aerial photography. Oc Eo is widely believed to have been an inland port city of the ancient Funan kingdom, with trade links between China and India.
Excavations have revealed extensive networks of ancient canals and moats on both sides of Oc Eo, connecting it to inland settlements, including Angkor Borei to the north, now in Cambodia. Artefacts uncovered at the site include Indian-influenced pottery, stone and glass jewellery, Roman-style coins, Sanskrit inscriptions dating to around the 7th century, and various religious statues.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks during the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026
DAVOS, Switzerland — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned that global politics is entering a far more volatile phase, urging middle power nations to cooperate more closely as economic pressure and power politics increasingly shape international relations.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday, Carney said the international system built on stable alliances and open trade was breaking down, leaving countries outside the world’s dominant powers vulnerable unless they act collectively.
“If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu,” he said, arguing that middle powers can no longer rely on size, geography or historic friendships to protect their interests.
Although he avoided naming the United States directly, Carney’s remarks appeared aimed at Washington’s increasingly confrontational approach to allies and trading partners. He said major powers were now weaponising economic ties in ways that had once been considered stabilising.
Tariffs, financial systems and supply chains, he said, were being used as tools of coercion rather than cooperation, describing the moment as a “rupture” in the global order rather than a gradual transition.
The world’s great powers — commonly defined as the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — continue to dominate militarily and economically. Carney argued that middle powers still play a key role in diplomacy and global trade.

Thailand is often included in that category, particularly in Southeast Asia, where its economy, regional influence and long-standing relationships with both Western countries and China give it significant strategic weight despite its smaller size.
Carney also mentioned Thailand by name, saying: “We’re negotiating free trade pacts with India, Asean, Thailand, the Philippines and Mercosur.”
His remarks are significant, particularly when viewed alongside Canada’s recent trade deal with China, highlighting Ottawa’s growing focus on Asian economies.
Carney said Canada was among the first countries to realise that traditional assumptions about security and prosperity no longer held. That experience, he suggested, was shared by other trade-dependent nations that have sought to balance competing global relationships while avoiding over-reliance on any single partner.
Those tensions have been underscored since US President Donald Trump returned to office. Trump has repeatedly described Canada as the “51st state” and floated the idea of uniting the two countries through economic pressure. Washington later imposed steep tariffs on Canadian goods, despite the two nations being long-standing allies.
In recent days, Trump has also intensified calls for the United States to take control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, sharing a social media image depicting the US, Canada and Greenland beneath the American flag. The move has unsettled governments far beyond the North Atlantic, reinforcing fears that international norms are eroding.
Carney used his Davos appearance to firmly restate Canada’s support for Greenland, Denmark and the Nato alliance.
“Our commitment to Article Five is unwavering,” he said, referring to the clause that treats an attack on one Nato member as an attack on all.
Canadian media reported earlier this week that Ottawa was considering deploying a small number of troops to Greenland to take part in joint exercises with Danish and other European forces. Asked about the reports, Foreign Minister Anita Anand said Canada regularly participates in Nato exercises, noting that any future deployments would be decided by the defence minister and the chief of defence staff.
Looking ahead, Carney said Canada was reshaping its foreign policy around flexible partnerships, forming “different coalitions for different issues” rather than relying on fixed blocs. He presented Canada as a dependable partner in an unpredictable environment, pointing to recent trade and investment agreements with China and Qatar, as well as a defence procurement deal with the European Union.
That approach mirrors strategies adopted by countries such as Thailand, which have sought to diversify economic and diplomatic ties while navigating intensifying rivalry between major powers, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.
Carney’s speech was received warmly by the audience at the World Economic Forum and drew overwhelmingly positive reactions online.
Gideon Rachman, who interviewed Carney shortly after his address, remarked: “I don’t think I’ve seen many standing ovations at Davos.”

KRABI — The governor of Krabi province and the provincial police chief led a joint operation to search and arrest operators of an Israeli-owned cannabis farm accused of using Thai nationals as nominee shareholders to evade Thai law.
The raid took place on 21 January 2026 at 09:30 at Cannazon Co. Ltd. in Moo 4, Sai Thai subdistrict, Mueang Krabi district.
Krabi Governor Angkul Silathevakul was joined by Maj Gen Sukkasem Nakvilai, commander of Krabi Provincial Police, Mom Luang Phuthong Thongyai, deputy director-general of the Department of Business Development, and senior provincial officials. About 50 officers from multiple agencies took part, including provincial and local police, immigration police, the Central Investigation Bureau, tourist police, provincial administrative officials, public health authorities and labour officials.
Acting on search warrants issued by the Krabi Provincial Court, officers searched the premises and detained the company’s owner, identified as Mose Yamin, an Israeli national. Authorities allege the business allowed Thai nationals to hold shares on behalf of a foreigner, enabling a foreign national to operate a restricted business in violation of Thai law, including Section 8(3) of the Foreign Business Act.
Before the search, officials, with the assistance of an interpreter, read and explained the warrants to Yamin, who cooperated with authorities.
Inside the building, officers found an indoor cannabis cultivation facility equipped with controlled water, lighting and temperature systems, along with cannabis processing equipment. The site was also allegedly used to sell cannabis products and allow on-site consumption.
Officials said they uncovered multiple additional offences, including online sales and delivery of cannabis, organising farm tours for tourists, permitting cannabis consumption on the premises in breach of legal conditions, and extracting cannabis substances with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels exceeding 0.2%, which classifies the product as a narcotic under Thai law.
Krabi’s provincial public health office ordered the suspension of the business licence for 60 days pending further investigation.
Governor Angkul said authorities had received intelligence that foreign nationals were using Thai nominees in cannabis businesses. He said the inspection confirmed the owner was Israeli and that several illegal cannabis-related activities were taking place.
He added that Krabi would not tolerate foreign nationals using the province to conduct illegal businesses and said all agencies were committed to maintaining public order and protecting the province’s image as a safe destination.
Maj Gen Sukkasem said police had monitored the operation for more than two months and found evidence that an Israeli investor hired Thai nationals to register a company under their names, initially holding 100% of the shares. After operating for a period, the company allegedly increased capital and transferred shares to give foreign interests control in a 49–51 structure.
He said documentary evidence showed the shareholding arrangement was a sham, comparable to the use of “mule” bank accounts. Charges have been filed, and police are seeking to arrest four Thai nationals alleged to have acted as nominees.
Mom Luang Phuthong said the evidence pointed to so-called “grey capital” operations. He said authorities found a pattern in which companies were initially registered with Thai shareholders before being transferred to foreign control after three to four months. Investigations will be expanded to other companies suspected of using similar nominee structures.
TRANG — 21 Jan 2026, Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) Region 9 said on Wednesday it is investigating the construction of a hotel in Trang province over suspected encroachment on public land and irregularities in building permits, ordering relevant state agencies to report their findings within 30 days.
NACC Region 9 announced the results of a fact-finding visit to a site in Bang Rak subdistrict, Muang Trang district, following tips about the approval process for a hotel project. The inspection took place on 13 Jan 2026 and involved provincial and district administrative officials, the head of the Bang Rak Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and NACC officials from Trang.
The inquiry followed widespread discussion on social media that raised questions and concerns about whether state officials had properly carried out their duties. NACC Region 9 said the inspection was part of its proactive corruption-prevention work.
Officials found 10 guestroom units and two pool villas had been built in a manner resembling a hotel or rental accommodation. By the time inspectors arrived, the pool villas had already been dismantled, and furnishings and facilities had been removed from the 10-room building. A lawyer representing the property owner said the remaining structures would be demolished and the site restored to its original condition within 30 days.
Preliminary checks found that the construction permit issued by the Bang Rak Subdistrict Administrative Organisation did not match the number of buildings actually built. Only eight rooms had been registered with the provincial hotel registrar. Investigators also found that the land title deed submitted for the construction permit already contained other permanent structures and that the hotel buildings were not constructed on the land covered by the deed used in the application.
NACC Region 9 has asked the Bang Rak Subdistrict Administrative Organisation to review whether the construction approval complied with the Building Control Act of 1979 and other relevant laws. Administrative officers have been asked to examine whether the hotel registration followed the Hotel Act of 2004 and related regulations and notifications.
The Bang Rak Subdistrict Administrative Organisation and Muang Trang district have also been tasked with jointly determining whether the project encroached on land designated for public use under local administration laws and Interior Ministry regulations on the protection of state land for common use. NACC Region 9 representatives have already sought cooperation from the Trang provincial land office to help expedite the review.
NACC Region 9 said it has requested all relevant agencies to act within their legal authority and submit their findings within 30 days, after which the commission will make the results public.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Federal immigration agents bashed open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.
ChongLy “Scott” Thao told the AP that his daughter-in-law alerted him on Sunday afternoon that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were banging at the door of his residence in St. Paul. He told her not to open it. Masked agents then forced their way in and pointed guns at the family, yelling at them, Thao recalled.
“I was shaking,” he said. “They didn’t show any warrant; they just broke down the door.”
“ICE is not doing what they say they’re doing,” St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, a Hmong American, said in a statement about Thao’s arrest. “They’re not going after hardened criminals. They’re going after anyone and everyone in their path. It is unacceptable and un-American.”
Encounter is caught on video
Thao, who has been a U.S. citizen for decades, said that as he was being detained he asked his daughter-in-law to find his identification but the agents told him they didn’t want to see it.
Instead, as his 4-year-old grandson watched and cried, Thao was led out in handcuffs
wearing only sandals and underwear with just a blanket wrapped around his shoulders.
Videos captured the scene, which included people blowing whistles and horns and neighbors screaming at the more than a dozen gun-toting agents to leave Thao’s family alone.
Thao said agents drove him “to the middle of nowhere” and made him get out of the car in the frigid weather so they could photograph him. He said he feared they would beat him. He was asked for his ID, which agents earlier prevented him from retrieving.
Agents eventually realized that he was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, Thao said, and an hour or two later, they brought him back to his house. There they made him show his ID and then left without apologizing for detaining him or breaking his door, Thao said.
Homeland Security defends the operation
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security described the ICE operation at Thao’s home as a “targeted operation” seeking two convicted sex offenders.
“The US citizen lives with these two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation,” DHS said. “The individual refused to be fingerprinted or facially ID’d. He matched the description of the targets.”
Thao’s family said in a statement that it “categorically disputes” the DHS account and “strongly objects to DHS’s attempt to publicly justify this conduct with false and misleading claims.”
Thao told the AP that only he, his son and daughter-in-law and his grandson live at the rental home. Neither they nor the property’s owner are listed in the Minnesota sex offender registry. The nearest sex offender listed as living in the zip code is more than two blocks away.
DHS later released the names and photos of two people it described as “violent illegal alien sexual offenders” that it was seeking to detain in St. Paul. Thao said he had never seen these men before and they did not live with him.
DHS did not respond to an earlier request from The Associated Press asking why the agency believed they were present in Thao’s home.
Thao’s son, Chris Thao, said ICE agents stopped him while he was driving to work before they went to detain his father. He said he was driving a car he borrowed from his cousin’s boyfriend, whose first name matches that of one of the men DHS said it was seeking. Chris Thao said he did not know the boyfriend’s last name.
Family fled Laos after helping US
The family said they are particularly upset by ChongLy Thao’s treatment at the hands of the U.S. government because his mother had to flee to the U.S. from Laos when communists took over in the 1970s since she had supported American covert operations in the country and her life was in danger.
Thao’s adopted mother, Choua Thao, was a nurse who treated CIA-backed Hmong soldiers in the U.S. government’s “Secret War” from 1961 to 1975 against the communists, according to the Hmong Nurses Association website.
Choua Thao, who passed away in late December, “treated countless civilians and American soldiers, working closely with U.S. personnel,” her daughter-in-law Louansee Moua wrote on a GoFundMe page for the family.
ChongLy Thao says he’s planning to file a civil rights lawsuit against DHS and no longer feels secure to sleep in his home.
“I don’t feel safe at all,” Thao said. “What did I do wrong? I didn’t do anything.”

The 'chicken parts' pickup truck which experienced major damage with product strewn across the road
SARABURI — 21 January 2026, A woman driving a sedan failed to complete an overtaking manoeuvre and sideswiped a military vehicle, causing it to lose control, cross the central median and crash into a pickup truck and a roadside granite shop. Eight people were injured.
At 06:45, Pol. Capt. Samatcha Ditsong of Kaeng Khoi Police, was alerted by the 191 radio centre to a multi-vehicle collision with multiple injuries on Mittraphap Road inbound to Nakhon Ratchasima, at km 9, Tambon Tan Diao, Kaeng Khoi district, Saraburi.
At the scene, rescue teams from three organisations — Sawang Rattanatrai Thammasathan Saraburi, Ruamkatanyu and Poh Teck Tung — provided first aid and transported the injured to Kaeng Khoi Hospital.
Police found a GMC military vehicle driven by Sgt. Maj. Badikorn Chinsri, marked “ADA 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment,” with damage to the left front light and a burst left tyre. Chicken parts from a pickup truck were scattered across the front of the vehicle. The GMC had crashed into a roadside granite shop, causing damage. Six soldiers travelling in the vehicle were injured.
Several medical authorities rushed to the scene to treat the injured
Nearby was a black Honda City driven by Ms. Suchada Khatthachan, 30, who was uninjured. The car was stopped on the express lane shoulder and sustained minor damage, including a broken right side mirror and damage to the left door. Inside the car, her mother, Mrs. Thanom Khatthachan, seated in the front passenger seat, suffered chest tightness and was injured.
Also at the scene was a white Toyota Vigo pickup driven by Mr. Prakhong Buabansi, who sustained minor injuries. The front of the vehicle was heavily damaged, the bonnet was forced open, and chicken parts being transported were strewn across the road.
All eight injured people were taken to Kaeng Khoi Hospital.
Police documented the scene and summoned all three parties for questioning at Kaeng Khoi Police Station. CCTV footage will be reviewed to determine the exact cause of the crash and to proceed with legal action.
In an on-scene interview, Sgt. Maj. Badikorn said he was driving from ADA 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment in Don Mueang, travelling in a two-vehicle convoy with 12 soldiers en route to collect fuel in Nakhon Ratchasima. While driving in the far-right lane, a black sedan cut in, causing him to lose control. He said the sedan’s driver later told him she was attempting to overtake a vehicle ahead but could not complete the manoeuvre after the vehicle braked, prompting her to swerve between the two military vehicles. This led to a sideswipe, after which his vehicle struck the chicken-parts pickup and then crashed into the roadside granite shop, injuring all six soldiers in his vehicle.

MAE SOT — Thai police launched a manhunt involving more than 100 officers on 21 January 2026 after a Myanmar national allegedly shot and seriously wounded a police officer during an undercover operation to buy illegal firearms in the border district of Mae Sot.
The shooting occurred at about 08:30 during a planned sting by Mae Sot police on a roadside near a convenience store along the Mae Sot–Umphang highway in Phalad village, Mae Ku subdistrict, Tak province. Officers had arranged to purchase a firearm from two suspected members of a cross-border weapons trafficking network.
As police moved in to make arrests, one suspect resisted and opened fire with a handgun, shooting Police Sergeant Major Seksan Kangka, 51, an officer with Mae Sot police. The bullet pierced his abdomen, leaving him critically injured. He was rushed to Mae Sot Hospital, where doctors carried out emergency surgery.
Authorities appealed for blood donations from local residents to support the operation. Hospital officials later said the officer had come out of surgery and was no longer in immediate danger, though he remains under close observation for at least 24 hours to prevent post-operative complications.
One suspect, identified as Min Soe Thu, 20, a Myanmar national, was arrested at the scene and is being questioned. Police said details of the investigation could not yet be disclosed.
The second suspect, identified as Nyai Re Aung, 20, also a Myanmar national, fled after the shooting, abandoning a motorcycle at the scene and escaping with a handgun and an unknown amount of ammunition. Police believe he headed towards the Thai-Myanmar border, an area of dense forest.
Through the night and into the morning, Mae Sot police coordinated with Border Patrol Police Unit 346, local administrative officials and army forces from the Rachamanu Task Force to seal off the area and search for the suspect. As of Tuesday morning, he had not been found.
Authorities said they are adjusting their search strategy and have circulated the suspect’s photograph on local social media, urging residents to report sightings to community leaders immediately. Intelligence units have also shared the suspect’s details with Myanmar counterparts to help block a possible escape.
Security has been tightened along main and secondary roads near the border, with checkpoints established and armed teams deployed on foot in targeted areas. Officials warned they would respond decisively if the suspect attempts to shoot his way out, amid concerns he may try to flee across the Moei River, which has run dry in places, making crossings easier.
SA KAEO — 21 January 2026, Thai border forces have arrested 14 Thai nationals accused of working as administrators for online gambling websites after they illegally crossed back into Thailand from Cambodia, authorities said.
Rangers from Company 1206 under the Burapha Task Force, working with the Aranyaprathet Special Task Unit, detained the group while they were on foot near the Thai–Cambodian border in Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province, during an evening patrol.
The arrests were made near checkpoints 39–40, about 150 metres from Highway 3511, in Ban Mai Pak Hong village, Khlong Nam Sai subdistrict. Officers spotted the suspects entering from the Cambodian side via a natural crossing and stopped them for questioning.
Initial checks showed all 14 were Thai citizens, nine men and five women. Thirteen presented national identity cards, while one held a document for a person without civil registration. All confessed to illegally crossing the border from Cambodia in an attempt to return to their homes in Thailand.
During questioning, the group said they had been recruited in late November 2025 by an administrator of a Facebook page to work as online gambling website admins in Cambodia, with a promised salary of 25,000 baht per month. They were escorted from their home provinces to Sa Kaeo and crossed illegally into Cambodia.
They said they were taken to work in Bavet city, Svay Rieng province, near the Vietnamese border. While there, they claimed they were penalised financially if they failed to meet targets and were physically assaulted, prompting them to flee.
The group later contacted a Thai man known only as “Win”, believed to be living in Poipet, who charged each person 2,500 baht. He allegedly transported them to a village in Tboung Pongro subdistrict, Malai district, Banteay Meanchey province, before directing them to walk across the border, claiming a vehicle would be waiting on the Thai side.
Instead, they were intercepted by Thai authorities.
All suspects were handed over to investigators at Khlong Nam Sai police station for further legal proceedings, officials said.
