S2:E4 | Nirut Sonkhamhan, The Pickup Truck Killer – Poison on Thailand’s Roads
Description
Between 2011 and 2012, Thailand’s southern highways carried more than just goods. They carried death—one poisoned cup of coffee at a time. Nirut Sonkhamhan, known as The Pickup Truck Killer, preyed on drivers, turning roadside rituals into traps. This episode unspools the method, the victims, and the poison trail he left in his wake, through the words of survivors, investigators, and the land itself.
This story draws from the reports of the Royal Thai Police, archival coverage in the Bangkok Post, Thai PBS, and Khaosod English, as well as local southern Thai press at the time. Survivor testimony from Montree Kalam, Charoen Daranoi, and Paitoon Pattalapho provided the most haunting details.
