A 54-year-old Israeli man allegedly lured women to his Bangkok condo through dating apps, fed them cakes suspected of containing drugs, and secretly filmed sexual encounters. Thai police arrested him on Friday, discovering he had overstayed his visa by 2,095 days, nearly six years. Officers seized 15 grams of crystal meth, 50 packaging bags, a digital scale, suspected drug-laced cakes, and a phone containing numerous sexual recordings. During the arrest, the man reportedly claimed powerful connections would secure his release within two hours. He threatened to have the entire arresting team transferred or fired and allegedly threatened to kill one officer.

Indonesian scam workers have reportedly fled a compound in Thmor Da, Veal Veng district, Pursat province, according to Cambodian media. One Indonesian worker was quoted saying goodbye to Cambodia, noting that routes used for online scam operations were cut off due to the situation with Thailand and multiple Thai strikes on scam compounds in the area. Reports suggest that the disruption has also led to the release or escape of a number of trafficked workers who had been sold into scam operations.

Bangkok woman outsmarts machete-wielding stalker who followed her home A man high on drugs followed a woman up the stairs to her rented room in Bangkok's Taling Chan district on March 20, shoving through the door the moment she unlocked it. He was carrying a 50cm machete. Once inside he barricaded the door with furniture, kicked her younger brother out, and ordered her to undress. She told him people were waiting downstairs. When he turned to check, she grabbed a blanket and ran. Police arrived to find the suspect out on the second-floor balcony holding the blade to his own chest. After a long standoff he asked for water. Officers moved in during the handoff, but he slipped and fell from the balcony before they could grab him. Hip injury, taken to Siriraj Hospital. He told police he'd been using heavily and was hallucinating.

American Wanted on Seven Alabama Warrants Found at Phuket Hotel Thai police say an American accused of sexually abusing children under 14 and recording the abuse on video has been found at a hotel in Phuket. Lance Beck, 48, is wanted on seven Alabama state warrants and one federal warrant, according to police, with allegations including rape, sexual torture, human trafficking, sexual abuse, incest and facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act. The FBI asked Thai authorities to locate Beck on August 27. Investigators traced him through Phuket International Airport and found him two days later at a hotel around Nai Yang in Thalang. Immigration revoked his visa to remain in Thailand and he was transferred to immigration custody for return to the US. I haven’t been able to find the actual warrants, an FBI or DOJ release, or a publicly indexed Alabama court case naming Beck yet. This is all from the Thai police.

Walked through parts of Sihanoukville at around 7pm tonight, an hour when these roads should be busy, and it's quiet. The main drag in the video used to be lined with casinos, and now only a few are still open, with a handful of cars on the road and hardly anyone on foot. At Peninsula Bay, the clubs and a few ground-floor restaurants that were running not long ago have closed. A few casinos around this area look like they trying to hang on. Hard not to see this as the double whammy of the scam compound crackdown and the online gambling ban.

American YouTuber Arab came to Cambodia and went to a firing range up in the mountains that, for whatever reason, he says he can't disclose the location of. He fired automatic weapons, a sniper rifle, an RPG and a .50 cal, and threw a frag grenade, spending around $2,500 in all. Behind him, Cambodian men who look like soldiers threw cash around while holding their handguns. Arab paid to shoot, and they had just been paid. Anything can be bought in Cambodia if you have the money for it. Here’s a short clip.

A Cambodian police officer who was on duty during Xi Jinping’s 2025 visit also appears at Long Bay tycoon Deng Pibing’s parties and an alleged scam compound, according to Al Jazeera’s undercover investigation. Her name is Tiet Mony, and Deng describes their relationship rather openly. “In business, I’m her boss. In politics, she’s my boss.” He then claims Chinese officials approached her during Xi’s visit, asking, “Can you work for us? As an undercover agent?” Deng goes on to talk about former subordinates working in the police and discusses raids and investigations. The head of the National Police bodyguard unit confirmed Tiet Mony was an officer and said she was permitted to work for others outside her official duties. Tiet Mony and the National Police did not respond to Al Jazeera’s questions. Full documentary below.

WATCH: The Nigerian Who Gave Himself the Title "Big Boss" of DODORIMA Rammed a Police Car on Rama III Thai narcotics police arrested a Nigerian man they call the head of DODORIMA on Monday night outside a luxury condo on Rama III in Bangkok. As officers boxed in his car he reversed hard into one of theirs, injuring an officer, and they smashed the window and pulled him out. Police found 18 grams of cocaine in the car, and when they searched his condo they seized a Toyota, Thai and US cash, money in the bank, and a pile of brand-name goods, about 700,000 baht all told. Police say he'd been in Thailand more than seven years, starting out running cocaine to tourists in the nightlife areas before appointing himself boss of DODORIMA, which they describe as the Thai branch of a global West African network called NBM of Africa. They say the network moved 380 million baht in the past year alone, with proceeds allegedly wired home to build a mansion in Nigeria. The charity events and donation drives were cover, police say, a way to launder drug and romance-scam money and to get close to well-connected people he could supply. Investigators say this traces back to Operation Dark Room, the May raid on a Nonthaburi condo where six Nigerians were arrested for running romance scams, and that the money from that operation led to DODORIMA. He's admitted the cocaine and denied the laundering, says his money is from a legitimate fish-export business and that DODORIMA is just friends doing charity. The name, he told police, means "hello."

Chinese Livestreamer Disappears in Bangkok, Then a $90,000 Ransom Demand Comes From Myanmar Chinese livestreamer Wang Ran, 24, flew from Nanjing to Bangkok on September 12 for what her family says was a work trip arranged by an online acquaintance. A friend later received a video showing Wang eating with at least six others at a restaurant in Thailand. Later that same day, she disappeared from contact. By the next day, her parents were on a video call with Wang. She appeared disoriented, surrounded by black plastic sheeting, and asked them to send 600,000 yuan, nearly $90,000. Four days later, the family received a threat. “If you fail to pay by September 20... Your child will be transferred to other people and places or sold to a clubhouse.” A friend eventually reached Wang by phone. Wang told her she was being held for ransom in Myanmar. Nanjing anti-fraud police have confirmed receiving her father’s report. What happened between that restaurant in Thailand and Wang later saying she was being held in Myanmar remains unclear.

A shitload of fighter jets on one very big ship. The USS Abraham Lincoln is a 1,092-foot, roughly 95,000-ton nuclear-powered Nimitz-class carrier with two reactors, a 4.5-acre flight deck and more than 70 aircraft aboard. You can pick out F-35C Lightning IIs, F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, an E-2D Hawkeye and MH-60S Sea Hawks on deck. And if you zoom in on the hull, what looks pretty rough from a distance appears to be mostly surface rust streaking, worn paint and the general punishment of spending a very long time at sea. Hope the crew is enjoying some much deserved R&R.

A British man who spent a year and a half in a Thai prison learned the hard way that taking a shortcut to save a few baht on his overstay is a risk he probably won’t take again. He went with the cheaper visa agent in Pattaya, 40,000 baht instead of the 50,000 quoted at his gym, and the paperwork came back fake. He then paid someone else to clean up the overstay, which meant exit and entry stamps for flights he never took. An officer at Don Mueang spotted them. He says the officers told him he was “not who I say I am on my passport” and was trying to evade detection. Then there’s his wild account of what life is like inside, starting with immigration detention, where he says around 120 foreigners are sandwiched in one room against each other, the water system had broken the week before he arrived, and the food is inedible. In prison, shackles for anyone caught fighting, “welded onto your legs,” minimum three months. Guards laying prisoners on hot concrete in view of the cells and pouring water over them. “That is inhumane what happens in there.” If his account holds up, he’s highlighting some alarming issues in the Thai prison system. And if you’re in overstay in Thailand, don’t take shortcuts to get it fixed.
