The incident occurred at around 7.30pm on 11 May 2026 when prison officers at Pattaya Remand Prison in Nong Pla Lai, Bang Lamung district, transferred 31-year-old Mingchen Sun to Pattaya Bhattamakun Hospital for emergency treatment. Reports said the suspect suffered violent seizures while undergoing the prison intake screening process.

Police officers from Bang Lamung Police Station deployed more than 10 officers to guard the hospital and maintain tight security around the emergency ward. Authorities said the suspect had reportedly refused food for three days following his arrest and had entered a fourth day consuming only water.

Officials believe the combination of physical exhaustion and severe stress triggered the medical emergency. Medical staff administered intravenous fluids and anti-anxiety medication while placing the suspect under close observation for at least 24 hours.

The suspect was previously arrested in connection with a case involving C4 explosives and a large cache of war weapons. The case has attracted national attention after concerns were raised over the potential security implications of the seized materials.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Wasurat Chaitheerapat, Deputy Commander of Chon Buri Provincial Police, later travelled to the Hospital to oversee security arrangements and issue operational instructions to officers from Bang Lamung Police Station.

Authorities ordered rotating security teams to monitor the suspect continuously throughout his treatment until he is fit to return to prison custody. Officers were instructed to remain on alert for any unexpected developments during the hospital stay.

Medical staff also warned that if the suspect’s condition fails to improve, he may need to be transferred to Chon Buri Hospital for specialist treatment. In that event, provincial police special operations officers, including commando units, would be assigned to provide additional security and supervision.

The Daily News reported that  investigation into the explosives and weapons case remains ongoing, with police continuing to examine all possible links connected to the suspect and the seized items.

Perhaps that is what his handlers intended. Don't leave loose ends.

Does he have health insurance, or will he be setting up a Go Fund Me?

A Chinese suspect accused of stockpiling C4 explosives and war weapons remains in intensive care under tight security at a Pattaya hospital after collapsing in custody.

Ming Chen Sun, 31, was rushed from Pattaya Special Prison in Nong Plalai, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi, to Pattaya Bhattamakun Hospital at 7.30pm on 11 May 2026 after suffering convulsions and losing consciousness during prisoner screening procedures.

Authorities said the suspect had refused food since his arrest and had consumed only water before collapsing. Medical staff admitted him to the intensive care unit on the hospital’s second floor, where he remains under close observation.

The latest update on 12 May confirmed the suspect’s condition is stable, although he continues to require mechanical ventilation. Hospital officials declined to release additional details, saying further information would come from the Department of Corrections.

Security around the Hospital has been significantly increased. Nearly ten officers from Special Operations Police Region 2, known as Burapha 491, alongside officers from Bang Lamung Police Station and correctional staff from Pattaya Special Prison, have been deployed around the clock.

Authorities said the measures are intended to prevent any escape attempt or possible hostage rescue operation linked to the high-profile suspect. Officers continue to monitor all access points to the hospital while maintaining a secure perimeter around the ICU ward.

ThaiRath reported that officials have not disclosed how long the suspect is expected to remain in hospital. Investigators continue examining the explosives and weapons case while correctional authorities coordinate closely with police over ongoing security arrangements.

Good, hopefully they stabilize him long enough to investigate the source of his weapons.

I know they chain them to the bed. At least the one I witnessed in Pak Chong Hospital.

Almost sounds like he had the old cyanide tablet in a fake tooth.

No need as he is loaded- I heard with his last business he made a bomb!

Security was tightened after the fact. The horse is out of the barn. Self induced or worried partners?

As it was already said he had refused food since his arrest, looks like he's worried to be poisoned, but they still got to him.

I wonder if he has been scanned, to see if he was carrying anything internally. Hospital is certainly the right place some someone to take some proactive action, here..

Chinese Fake...more to come

maybe he had a Chinese fake cyanide tooth? Can't trust them for product quality, eh?

Chinese organised crime is very active in Myanmar and Cambodia. In certain areas they are the de facto local authority displacing or co-opting government. I suspect the military-grade explosives and weapons were coming from or going to either of these countries. I doubt we will ever find out.

Those who supplied him with his stockpile of weapons must have a strong desire to silence him.
