Thai authorities have arrested an executive from Win Process, a chemical waste storage factory, for illegal possession of hazardous materials. The executive, called Ophas, was detained while travelling to another factory in Phetchabun Province. Authorities caught up with him following an arrest warrant issued by the Map Ta Phut Police Station in Rayong Province, where Win Process is located. A subsequent inspection of another plant, unrelated to Win Process, revealed large amounts of chemicals in the warehouse. The Rayong Province Governor, Traiphop Wongtrairat, along with industrial officials, were part of the inspection team that discovered the hazardous substances and pressed charges. Ophas faces these charges and is likely to be implicated in roughly 14 additional cases. He is currently being held at the Map Ta Phut Police Station and is expected to appear in court today. Further investigation of another Win Process factory in Rayong led to the discovery of many documents. Authorities will examine these documents to identify the origin of the involved chemicals, which will aid legal proceedings. In response to the situation, Danainat Chokamnuay, adviser to the Minister of Industry, visited the Win Process factory to track its progress in addressing the issues. During the visit, his team also distributed 400 relief bags for residents impacted by the hazardous materials. Chokamnuay noted that as the rainy season is approaching, they are particularly concerned about the chemical water trap. Immediate steps will be taken to strengthen the factory's earthen dike while also addressing the aluminium dross problem. Sunthorn Kaewsawang, the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Industrial Works, stated that their plan involves quick chemical treatment. However, the process has been slowed down due to financial disagreements raised by the defendants. Despite this, Kaewsawang reassures they will accelerate efforts to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

Thai police arrest Frenchman for delivering cocaine using remote-controlled toy car Photo courtesy of The Thaiger Thai police have apprehended a French individual for attempting to ship cocaine hidden in a toy car to a friend in Cambodia.

Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328484-thai-police-arrest-frenchman-for-delivering-cocaine-using-remote-controlled-toy-car/

Thai police have apprehended a French individual for attempting to ship cocaine hidden in a toy car to a friend in Cambodia. The drug-laden parcel was discovered by a courier company during routine X-ray checks, prompting them to alert authorities. The Senior police officials, which included the Deputy Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, revealed the arrest of the 39-year-old French national, known as Maxence. He was arrested under a warrant issued by the Criminal Court in April for allegedly trying to export cocaine, a Category 2 narcotic. This action is seen as drug trafficking and carries a risk of wide public distribution. Maxence was apprehended in a residential area in Bangkok's Suan Luang district. The Narcotics Suppression Bureau initiated the investigation after being tipped off about the suspicious package destined for Cambodia by a courier service worker. The 1kg parcel was sent from a sender named Gregore in Bangkok to a recipient named Jerome in Cambodia's Siem Reap. Upon inspection, investigators found a toy car, a remote, and an empty charger box. Hidden within was a tightly packaged white powder, around 10 grams, that tested positive for cocaine. After seizing the drugs as evidence, investigators traced the parcel back to Maxence, who was residing with a Thai woman in the same area. Police detained him as he was about to leave his house. During questioning, Maxence confessed that he had bought the cocaine from an unknown man he met at a nightclub in Bangkok, admitting that the package and the drugs were his. He also shared that this was his first attempt at delivering it to a friend in Cambodia. He was convinced that the Thai police had intercepted the package but did not anticipate it would lead them back to him as he had used an assumed name. Maxence also claimed that he planned to continue sending small amounts of cocaine to his friend if the initial attempt had been successful. However, after the botched first attempt, he became apprehensive about being apprehended and decided against any further shipments. He stated, "This was my first time sending the package, and I didn’t think the police would track me down."

Phuket Envisions Surge in Visits from Vietnamese Tourists File photo for reference only Tourism businesses in Phuket, are expecting an increased number of visitors from Vietnam following a major advertising campaign conducted in Vietnam's two biggest cities. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328471-phuket-envisions-surge-in-visits-from-vietnamese-tourists/

Tourism businesses in Phuket, are expecting an increased number of visitors from Vietnam following a major advertising campaign conducted in Vietnam's two biggest cities. The president of the Phuket Tourist Association, Thanet Tantipiriyakit, revealed that the island hopes to attract at least 120,000 Vietnamese tourists this year, a significant 50% more than last year's 80,000. Recent promotional activities on May 21 in Ho Chi Minh City and May 23 in Hanoi are predicted to contribute to this increase. Out of around one million Vietnamese who visited Thailand last year, only a small 8% travelled to Phuket. However, this year, businesses are hoping to increase this figure to at least 12%. The launch of direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Phuket is expected to help achieve this goal. A representative from the Tourism Authority of Thailand's Ho Chi Minh City office, Supakan Yodchun, noted that tourists from southern Vietnam have high spending power and are attracted by the extensive facilities offered by Phuket. He said, "Phuket appeals to all – from individual tourists and families to those attending meetings or seminars." Despite a decline by 5.4% in the number of tourists from Vietnam visiting Thailand between January to April this year (290,000 visitors compared to the same timeframe last year), tourism businesses in Phuket remain optimistic. They are hopeful that targeted marketing efforts and improved accessibility to the island will reverse the trend and make Phuket a favorite destination for Vietnamese travelers.

Wissanu to advise Cabinet on legal matters, no political role Photo courtesy of The Nation Seasoned legal expert and former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam is poised to become an adviser to the Secretariat of the Cabinet, assisting with the government’s legal affairs. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328465-wissanu-to-advise-cabinet-on-legal-matters-no-political-role/

Seasoned legal expert and former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam is poised to become an adviser to the Secretariat of the Cabinet, assisting with the government’s legal affairs. Wissanu confirmed yesterday that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin would appoint him to the position. He mentioned that the secretariat had previously approached him for the role following his departure as deputy prime minister after the end of Prayut Chan-o-cha’s government last year. Upon learning of this, PM Srettha expressed his intention to make the appointment official. “I’ve already discussed the matter with officials from the Cabinet’s secretariat. They said they would revamp the working system and documentation process. They said they would ask me to become an adviser.” This new role is not a political office and does not come with a salary. The 72 year old Wissanu added that he is not required to submit a declaration of assets and liabilities to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), unlike other political officeholders. He clarified that this position is distinct from that of an adviser to the prime minister. When questioned about whether this appointment might lead to him becoming a deputy prime minister again under the Pheu Thai Party-led government, Wissanu firmly denied any intention to take up a political office. The former deputy PM also disclosed that he met the Thai prime minister for discussions on various topics last Saturday, including the 62 year old’s recent visits to France and Italy and a petition submitted by 40 senators against Srettha over the appointment of Pichit Chuenban as PM’s Office Minister. Wissanu refuted claims that his new role would involve defending Srettha in court concerning the case. Srettha’s ethics scandal Last Thursday, the Constitutional Court accepted a petition seeking PM Srettha’s removal over the appointment of Pichit, whose eligibility is in question. The judges instructed Srettha to explain within 15 days but decided not to suspend him as prime minister pending the ruling. Previously, the 40 caretaker senators had asked the Constitutional Court whether the Bangkok-born PM and Pichit should be removed from office under Section 170 (4) and (5) of the charter, which addresses the ethics of Cabinet ministers. Following the 2014 coup, Wissanu was appointed deputy prime minister in charge of legal affairs under the previous administration. He also served as deputy prime minister under Thaksin Shinawatra from 2002 to 2006 and as the Cabinet’s secretary from 1993 to 2002. The Thai premier mentioned yesterday that a prime minister’s order for Wissanu’s appointment is being prepared. “I already met him for talks on the matter.” When asked if the decision to hire Wissanu indicates a shortage of legal experts in the administration, PM Srettha responded that the government believes it is necessary to enlist more capable individuals to support its work and better serve the public. Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul welcomed Wissanu’s appointment, noting that his legal expertise will significantly benefit the government. Move Forward Party (MFP) list-MP Parit Wacharasindhu commented yesterday that the Pheu Thai-led government resorted to seeking assistance from a former Cabinet minister of the previous government due to a lack of better options, reported Bangkok Post. Parit, who chairs the House Committee on Political Development, Mass Communication, and Public Participation, remarked that it remains unclear whether Wissanu’s appointment is aimed at helping the Thai PM in court or genuinely supporting the government’s work as claimed by the prime minister.

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) rescheduled the hearing for June 18. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1328464-thaksin-postpones-lese-majeste-hearing-citing-covid-infection/

Former Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra postponed his court hearing on allegedly violating Section 112 of the Criminal Law, also known as the lese majeste law, scheduled for today, citing a Covid-19 infection. The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) rescheduled the hearing for June 18. The 74 year old former politician was accused of violating Section 112 during an interview with South Korean reporters in Seoul on May 21, 2015. Additionally, Thaksin was accused of importing information into a computer system that could defame, insult, or show malice towards the Thai royal family. The former PM denied all allegations and requested a further investigation into the case. The AGO investigated the accusations further and agreed to indict Thaksin. The court appointed the next hearing for today, May 29. Thaksin urged his lawyer to submit a request to postpone the hearing yesterday, May 28, claiming he was suffering from Covid. The document also included medical confirmation of the infection from the hospital. AGO Chief Prosecutor Wiphut Boonprasart revealed in a press conference at 9am today that Thaksin requested the AGO to postpone the hearing until June 25 but the AGO decided to reschedule it to June 18 because the doctor suggested Thaksin rest for observation until June 3 only. Thaksin’s lawyer, Winyan Chartmontri, revealed in an interview with BangkokBiz News today that Thaksin is ready to go through the justice proceedings and prove his innocence and his intentions when talking about the royal family of Thailand in the interview. Winyan emphasised that Thaksin is now suffering from Covid and might have been exposed to it when he met many residents in the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima on May 25. Winyan insisted that the illness was unexpected. He added that Thaksin had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and a sore throat yesterday. Winyan said he talked with Thaksin via phone and found the former PM had a hoarse voice. Winyan stated that he could not confirm whether Thaksin would be able to appear on June 18 or not. If he does, the first thing he will do is submit a bail request. By Petch Petpailin Photo via ThaiRath Source: The Thaiger 2024-05-29 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe
