Arrest after tourist seriously hurt in Thailand
Merthyr Express
|June 19, 2025
POLICE have reportedly made an arrest after a Welshman suffered a life-threatening head injury while on holiday in Thailand.
Ashton Jones, 29, from Cwmbran, travelled to Bangkok on May 30 before being admitted to hospital on June 3, having suddenly disappeared while on a night out.
Ashton’s friends spent hours searching for him after he went missing from the nightclub they were in - only to find him in Chonburi Hospital on a life-support machine and having emergency brain surgery.
Now Ashton’s grandmother, Beverley Walker, says Thai police have informed the family of an arrest.
She said police gave no detail other than that the man is suspected of assaulting Ashton.
Ashton did not regain consciousness until Monday, six days after his admission, but he remains bedbound and unable to talk.
