Thai Enquirer 11 June:

• A female doctor from Police General Hospital has been arrested for illegally distributing
controlled substances commonly used in the production of date rape drugs over a four-year
period. Authorities found she used the names of 11 clinics in Bangkok to order
alprazolam—classified as a type 2 and type 4 controlled substance—which may only be
prescribed by licensed physicians.
❖ The investigation began after the FDA detected irregularities in drug purchase
records. A search of Pol. Col. Dr. Anchulee Phetcharat’s residence uncovered large
quantities of the drug stored in boxes. A male suspect, believed to be responsible
for handling the drugs, was also taken into custody.
❖ In total, four individuals were arrested, including Dr. Anchulee. Investigators
showed that she was the sole purchaser, placing orders through the FDA between
2022 and 2025, worth 15 million Baht. Financial tracking revealed a wider
operation with over 80 million Baht in circulation. The drugs were stored off-site
and sold mainly to young buyers for recreational use, including as date rape drugs.
