PRIME MINISTER Paetongtarn Shinawatra today (May 7) joined a press briefing on the seizure of 8.7 million methamphetamine pills and 720 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine (Ice) in Ayutthaya, Amarin TV said.
Pol. Gen. Prachuap Wongsuk, deputy national police chief, said this major drug bust resulted from further investigation undertaken after a trailer truck was caught carrying drugs for delivery to Ayutthaya in Nakhon Sawan on March 21.
This morning Provincial Police Region 1 searched a two-storey house in Bang Sai district, Ayutthaya, and found 8.7 million meth pills packed in 40 sacks and 720kg of Ice in 18 sacks hidden in a room on the ground floor.
They also arrested a suspect, only identified as Mr. Back, who confessed he had previously been hired to transport and guard drugs twice and used the money for personal expenses. He was charged with selling Category One narcotics.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said she joined this press conference because she wanted to encourage police officers and saw the importance of suppressing drugs in the country.
From Jan. 1, 2025, till today a total of 7,961 drug cases have been investigated and 8,100 suspects arrested. Seized were 96 million meth pills, 3,496kg Ice and 42kg Ketamine. Assets were also seized totalling 389 million baht.

WITH the outbreak of Streptococcus suis (S.suis) among pig population in Phrae province having led to two persons dying and 14 others undergoing treatment the public was urged to not eat raw or undercooked pork, Amarin TV said this evening (May 6).
Pharmacist Den Panyanant, deputy director of public health in this northern province, said investigation revealed that most of the patients had slaughtered pigs themselves in their household including consuming raw or undercooked pork, especially during the recent Songkran festival.
Some patients had wounds and came into direct contact with raw pork, which is an important channel through which germs can enter the body more easily.
People in this province were urged to refrain from consuming raw or undercooked pork, such as raw larb and local food that is not cooked enough. It is recommended to cook food at a temperature of at least 70 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes to kill germs.
In addition, those who have wounds but still prepare food were told to avoid touching raw pork directly or wear gloves while doing so. They should also strictly separate containers, as well as cutting boards, knives and chopsticks, for raw and cooked pork.
Those who have a high fever, are vomiting, suffer from a stiff neck, or ate raw pork, should see a doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment.
However, this outbreak does not appear to have affected sales at a wet market here with a vendor saying pork sales have not dropped because people are confident of the quality of this meat at their market as most of it comes from certified farms.

OFFICIALS are searching for a group of foreign tourists who were filmed feeding monkeys at Phi Phi Island with this being against the regulations, Amarin TV said today (May 5).
After a video clip of these tourists feeding monkeys was shared online a lot of netizens criticised their action.
Most of them said it is inappropriate to do so because not only is this against the regulations it also has a lot of negative effects on the monkeys themselves. It leads to their behaviour changing and becoming more aggressive as they lose the skills to forage for their own food and instead ask or snatch food from tourists. This can lead to holidaymakers being attacked by monkeys to get their food.
Mr. Saengsuri Songthong, head of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, said the foreign tourists violated regulations as it is prohibited to feed these monkeys.
The park has investigated details of this incident, and these tourists are being tracked down for punishment according to the regulations as they had also violated the National Parks Act B.E. 2562 (2019).
Officials will step up surveillance and publicise this ban to create more awareness. Those who see any inappropriate action are urged to either notify park officials or post a message at this park’s web page.

Bangkok – Ahead of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, International SOS, the world’s leading health and security
The post World Day for Safety and Health at Work: International SOS Urges a Holistic Approach to Workforce Wellbeing appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
Bangkok – Ahead of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, International SOS, the world’s leading health and security risk services company, calls on global organisations to reinforce their commitment to safeguarding the health, safety, and occupational wellbeing of their workforce. The global burden of workplace injury remains a significant concern, with the latest data highlighting the urgent need for action: approximately 2.93 million workers are reported to lose their lives annually due to work-related diseases (89%), and occupational accidents and injuries (11%).[1]
Over 75% of work-related mortality is attributed to circulatory, neoplastic, and respiratory diseases.1 Notably, long working hours and pollutant exposure are major contributors1, highlighting the ongoing importance of robust workplace health and safety measures.
International SOS data underscores the prevalence of respiratory issues, revealing a 10% rise in assistance requests related to respiratory diseases in 2024 compared to the previous year.[2]
Despite the risk of workplace harm to workers and organisations alike, most of the global workforce has never had Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) training (62%).[3] While this indicates a significant area for improvement, organisations are showing progress in mental health support, with over 70% integrating it into their workplace health and safety policies, according to a new report by the International SOS Foundation.[4]
Dr Olivier LO, Group Medical Director, Occupational Health Services, at International SOS, comments “It is important to acknowledge that workplace harm, encompassing both physical and mental wellbeing of workers, frequently arises from limitations in organisational governance and resource provision. A fundamental Duty of Care is non-negotiable; organisational neglect in these areas carries substantial human and economic consequences. Addressing these issues demands a holistic structured approach, recognising that the health and safety of the global workforce are inextricably linked to the broader operational framework. Furthermore, the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digitisation into workplaces necessitates a renewed focus on safety, as these technologies reshape jobs and introduce new potential hazards.
To effectively mitigate risks, deeply embedded health and safety practices, including education and training, are vital. These elements are not merely supplementary but are critical for fostering proactive vigilance and preventing human error. Where health and safety are ingrained within the organisational culture, both workers and management are better positioned to actively identify and address potential hazards, thereby safeguarding the workforce and ensuring sustainable business practices.”
International SOS offers the following guidelines to help organisations create healthier and safer workplaces:
- Conduct thorough health and safety risk assessments: Identify and evaluate all potential hazards in the workplace, including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks.
- Promote a culture of health and occupational wellbeing: Foster a workplace environment that values and supports the physical and mental health of workers, including access to health services, wellness programmes, and mental health support.
- Provide comprehensive training: Equip employees with the knowledge and skills they need to work safely, including hazard recognition, safe work practices, and emergency procedures.
- Develop robust crisis management plans: Be prepared to respond effectively to emergencies, such as workplace incidents, natural disasters, and pandemics, to minimise the impact on workers ‘ health and safety.
- Focus on mental health: Implement programmes that support workers ‘ mental wellbeing, reduce stigma, and provide access to mental health resources.
- Mitigate the risks of excessive working hours: Implement clear policies and practices that prevent excessive overtime, including workload management strategies and time-off provisions.
- Regularly review and improve: Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of health and safety programmes and make necessary adjustments to ensure ongoing improvement.

The post Relatives take Rama II road victim’s body back to their hometown for funeral appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
THE LATEST victim of debris falling and killing people on Rama II road who suffered a ruptured liver after two chunks of concrete fell on his pickup truck as he was passing beneath a flyover to Samut Sakhon where he worked early yesterday morning (Apr. 29) died last night with this wife and relatives taking his body back to his hometown in Nakhon Sawan for a funeral, Amarin TV said this afternoon.
Mr. Amnat Thongkham, 46, who was an assistant head of a factory’s engineering department, died at 9 p.m. with doctors at Samut Sakhon Hospital saying after the surgery the blood that was given kept leaking out and his blood pressure dropped significantly. He was given stimulant drugs but this did not help him recover.
His wife, Mrs. Chanram Thongkham, 46, along with his mother, brother and other relatives were helped by People’s Party MP for this province Mr. Nattapong Sumanotham in making arrangements and contacting various agencies since yesterday.
Chanram said she did not know what to do at the moment because her husband’s death was so sudden and fast. She urged all agencies overseeing construction on Rama II road to fully investigate the accident so that this does not happen to other families.
She added that she has told her husband’s spirit to go peacefully and not worry about their daughter as she will take good care of her and ensure she completes her studies and gets a bachelor’s degree in logistics as intended.
Nattapong said he has asked relevant agencies, especially the Highways Department, to take responsibility for compensating the deceased’s family and cover funeral expenses.
He is also going to ask Deputy Prime Minister/Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit and all related agencies what they are going to do to ensure that this is the last such accident.
Nowadays, no one wants to use Rama II road anymore and this affects the economy and the lives of people in Samut Sakhon and even other neighbouring provinces, he added.
Mr. Thanasarn Sitthapha, director of the Samut Sakhon Highways Department, said he has sent a team to inspect this flyover’s structure and ordered a fence installed around it. The department has arranged for a vehicle to transport the victim’s body back to his home province with initial compensation and assistance for the funeral given.
Negotiations have to be held on the full compensation to be paid to the family.
A bridge expert will be inspecting this flyover and action will be taken to prevent chunks of concrete from falling again. There may be major repairs but initially it has to be inspected, he added.
Pol. Lt. Col. Wichit Lunpha, deputy chief of investigation at Samut Sakhon City police station, said the bridge’s caretaker must be held liable for this accident under civil law.
Bridges have to be strong and not deteriorate to the point that pieces of concrete fall on vehicles below, resulting in death.
Since the Highways Department is directly responsible for taking care of this bridge the agency has to compensate the victim’s family with Samut Sakhon district officials to be called in for questioning in order to proceed with the law, he added.

The post Test shows 15 popular Thai milk tea brands contain synthetic colours appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
A TEST undertaken by “Chalad Sue magazine, Consumer Foundation” of Thai milk tea sold at 15 popular beverage outlets showed that they all contained synthetic colours and while these are officially allowed to be used in food a doctor warned that no such thing as safe in terms of chemical toxicity that enters the human body, Naewna newspaper said this evening (Apr. 28).
This magazine posted a photo and a message on its Facebook page that this test was undertaken to raise product safety standards and protect consumers through a product test supported by Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth).
The magazine collected samples of Thai milk tea from these 15 high-profile beverage shops in March with the sample consisting of one glass of milk tea and ice.
The 15 brands as shown in the labels are Cha Tra Mue, Café Amazon, All Café, Punthai, Inthanin Coffee, True Coffee, Fire Tiger, Arigato, Ochaya, Kudsan, GAGA, Karun, I Will Consume Iced Tea Everyday, Pang Cha and Gu Roti Cha Chak.
They all were sent to an ISO 17025 laboratory for testing with the result being as follows:
(1) Synthetic colours were found in every sample, but these colours are allowed to be used in food;
(2) One to four synthetic colours were found in the samples including Sunset Yellow FCF, Tartrazine, Ponceau 4R and Carmoisine or Azorubine;
(3) Sunset Yellow FCF was found in every sample, the least being 7.90 milligrams/kg and the most 291.41 milligrams/kg;
(4) Thai milk tea with a high amount of Sunset Yellow FCF synthetic colour are True Coffee – 291.41mg/kg; Gu Roti Cha Chak – 250.20mg/kg; and Pang Cha – 222.26mg/kg.
Monitoring the quality and standards of Thai tea drinks is even more necessary today because increasing popularity of consumption has led to many types of tea products, including leaf tea, instant tea powder and ready-to-drink tea. However there are still problems in terms of clarity on the standards used for controlling colour in tea and labelling issues, the magazine said.
Dr. Kaew Kangsada-ampai, adviser to Chalad Sue magazine, Consumer Foundation warned about the dangers of food additives and synthetic colours, saying, “There is no such thing as safe in terms of chemical toxicity that enters the human body. There is only the word ‘risk’, which means high or low risk, and assess yourself whether it is acceptable to risk consuming non-nutrient additives.”
Her three recommendations are as follows:
(1) Choose products with FDA registration numbers;
(2) Read the product label;
(3) Choose a variety of beverages to reduce exposure to the same type of food colouring repeatedly.
The magazine itself had five more recommendations:
(1) When buying a drink choose only a small cup or glass. If possible brew the tea yourself and choose only those without synthetic food coloring;
(2) Don’t drink it too often;
(3) Choose a less sweet type to comply with Public Health Ministry’s recommendation;
(4) It is not recommended that children be allowed to drink this beverage because their excretion system is not yet fully developed;
(5) Be aware of more than one type of colour being used because there is a chance that the colours will interact with each other, and it is difficult to predict whether the effect is harmful to the consumer or not.
This is so because assessment of chemical toxicity is usually of a single substance not a mixture of substances.

The post Chinese suspect in transwoman’s brutal murder denies intending to sell organs appeared first on ThaiResidents.com - Thai Local News - Thai News.
THE Chinese man who brutally murdered a transgender woman in Pattaya confessed that he cut open her chest and removed her heart and a lung because he watched a lot of TV series and wanted to know what was inside the body but did not intend to sell her organs, Thai Rath newspaper and Amarin TV said today (Apr. 27).
Police took Mr. Fu Tongyuan, 42, for crime reenactment first going to Pattaya beach where he met Mr. Woranan Pannacha, or Note, 25, who had undergone gender reassignment surgery, then to the tour company from where he went to Suvarnabhumi Airport and was arrested there before flying to Kunming, China.
Once they returned to Pattaya police station the victim’s relatives, led by Mr. Uan Pannacha, 61, Note’s father, who had been searched as they followed the crime reenactment on motorcycles, surrounded the suspect with Uan attacking him. Policemen had to free him and immediately take him to the second floor.
Police said the Chinese suspect had cut open the victim’s chest all the way down to the genitals, removed her heart and left lung. He cut off both breasts and took out two pieces of silicone and placed them outside before dumping the body in the rented apartment’s bathroom.
Uan said Note had told him two to three months ago she would be going to China because she is very good at speaking Mandarin having lived in Taiwan for two to three years but now did not have any money. She had bought him land and built a house for him to live in and gave him anything else he wanted.
He had asked Note to take out life insurance but she refused to do so.
As for the missing lung, he said he would wait for the results of the investigation.
Pol. Col. Thawatchakiat Jindakuansong, commander of Chonburi Provincial Police, who personally supervised and controlled the crime reenactment based on the suspect’s confession, said after the suspect brought the deceased to apartment she asked for the 8,000 baht that he had agreed to pay her. However the deceased later resisted and refused to have a relationship with him.
He asked for half of the money back but the deceased refused to return it which led to a punchup, with the deceased scratching and kicking his face breaking his front teeth.
This angered him and he dragged the deceased down by the bedside and used his left knee to press down on her throat till she died.
He then dragged the body to the bathroom and used a pair of scissors to cut open the body, removing the silicone implants and placing them outside and the heart which he placed on the left shoulder.
