Get today's headlines by email   The arrests followed a joint operation by several police units late on the night of 27 June and into 28 June at a PTT petrol station in Sa Kaeo district. Officers from Sa Kaeo Immigration Police, Sa Kaeo Provincial Police, the Provincial Investigation Division and Region 2 Investigation Division worked together to detain the suspects and recover the drugs.  The suspects were identified as 24-year-old Pakistani national Badti Muhammad Aslan, 19-year-old Pakistani national Aali Liswan, and 45-year-old Indian national Pakgran Wit Sing. Police said they seized 101,675 pills of Category 1 narcotics in various colours, including light green, dark green, grey, orange and pink.    According to investigators, the pills had been divided into five separate batches. These comprised 21,335 light green tablets, 25,107 orange and green tablets, 20,385 orange, green and grey tablets, 20,600 light and dark green tablets, and 14,248 pink, orange and light green tablets. Police said the tablets were marked with the letters &#x201C;VL&#x201D; on one side and the &#x201C;Louis Vuitton&#x201D; logo on the other.  Police said the three men were found at the petrol station carrying suitcases while attempting to hire transport to Bangkok. Immigration officers became suspicious after checking their documents, which were reported to be invalid, and said one of the suspects attempted to flee before being detained.  Kaoded reported that the suspects were taken to Muang Sa Kaeo Police Station, where a search uncovered the large quantity of ecstasy tablets. Authorities completed arrest procedures before transferring the case to investigators at Muang Sa Kaeo Police Station for legal proceedings.   Picture courtesy of Kaoded  Join the discussion?

They have a thousand "friends" on FB who hardly know her, if at all, and who like pictures she's posted in "the gym working out". She wouldn't talk to any of them, but loves that attention.   Known the type, seen them many times, and how they act around men in person. Trained many of them also. Many have that phone addiction and most won't be hit on in the gyms, even though it is a good place to find a like minded partner.   See many on their phones while on dates, for years, talking to others or scrolling instead of interacting with their date. If this is the norm, know this will happen with her, especially in a gym where working out should be the priority.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 22:29:46 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Vietnamese Woman Slashed in Silom, Suspect Arrested</title><link>https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/vietnamese-woman-slashed-in-silom-suspect-arrested-r2528/</link><description>A homeless man accused of attacking a Vietnamese woman with a box cutter in Bangkok&#x2019;s Silom district has been arrested within hours of the assault, with police saying he confessed to the crime.  Get today's headlines by email   The attack took place on 27 June at around 11.30am outside a 7-Eleven near Silom Soi 5. Police at Thung Maha Mek Police Station received a report from the shop manager that a large-built man had used a box cutter to slash a foreign woman, leaving her injured before fleeing the scene.  Station superintendent Pol Col Phanom Chueathong, who was already on patrol, immediately ordered investigation and patrol officers to respond. Equipped with tactical equipment including restraint poles and tasers, officers launched a search using CCTV cameras linked across the Silom area.    Police tracked the suspect as he fled through nearby alleys before locating and arresting him. Officers recovered the box cutter allegedly used in the attack from his possession.  The injured woman was identified as 29-year-old Vietnamese national Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tram, who works for an advertising media company in Thailand. The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Atsana, also known as Film, is from Khao Phra Ngam subdistrict in Lopburi province. Police said he was known for sleeping on pavements and road medians in the area and frequently moved between locations.  The suspect was charged with causing bodily harm. Following his arrest, police said he confessed to the offence. Authorities stated that the motive was personal frustration and that he admitted targeting the victim because he disliked overweight women.   Pictures courtesy of Thaitabloid  Police said residents and local workers had previously been reluctant to report the man because of his intimidating physical appearance. Officers said his arrest has helped ease public concern in the area.  The operation was carried out under the policy of Metropolitan Police Division 5 commander Maj Gen Wittawat Chinkham, who has instructed police stations to maintain tactical training and respond rapidly to incidents. Officers said the successful arrest demonstrated the effective use of CCTV technology and coordinated police tactics.  Thaitabloid reported that later the same day, Nguyen returned from hospital to Thung Maha Mek Police Station, where she formally identified the suspect and confirmed he was the attacker. She thanked officers for their swift response and said the arrest had eased her fears. She also said she wanted the suspect prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.   Join the discussion?
