Crime Armed Men Storm Pattaya Snooker Hall in Kidnap Search
Picture courtesy of Amarin Panic erupted at a snooker hall in Pattaya’s Khao Talo area when a group of 5–6 armed men burst in during the early hours, claiming to be officials searching for a kidnapped Chinese national. CCTV footage from the venue captured the moment at 03:02, when a man in camouflage clothing, followed by another appearing to be Chinese, charged into the hall. The group made straight for the back of the premises before returning to the front and engaging in a heated discussion, leaving the scene in less than two minutes. The 32-year-old owner said the men loudly announced themselves as “officers”, with one visibly carrying a pistol and magazine at his waist. “I was shocked and told them only local youths were playing snooker here, but they all ran off as soon as the men arrived,” he said. It later emerged that the group was allegedly searching for a Chinese friend they claimed had been kidnapped for a ransom of 400,000 baht near the Big C South Pattaya shopping mall. They said they had tracked his phone via GPS to outside the snooker hall, where they discovered a white car believed to belong to the suspects. The vehicle had reportedly been abandoned after a switch to another car, with all windows left open and the interior ransacked. Reporters visiting the scene the next day, found the white car still parked nearby, its interior littered with rubbish and belongings scattered inside and around the vehicle. Police from Nong Prue station were called to inspect the car. The fate of the alleged kidnapping victim remains unknown and it has not been confirmed whether the armed men were genuine law enforcement officers or impostors. Police are continuing to investigate the incident. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-08-13 -

Health Livestock Chief Upholds Ractopamine Ban in US Pork Debate
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. The Director-General of the Department of Livestock Development has reiterated the country’s strict ban on the use of ractopamine, a controversial feed additive used to promote leaner pork, in response to speculation that US pork imports could soon be allowed. Somchuan Rattanamangkalanon said the department’s position is “clear and unchanged”, the use of ractopamine is prohibited at every stage of pork production in Thailand due to the health risks it poses to consumers. Speaking to reporters, he stressed that while no official policy change or import arrangements had been confirmed, public concerns over food safety must be taken seriously. “Our priority is to protect the health of Thai people. Ractopamine is banned because it can accumulate in the body and cause cardiovascular and other harmful effects,” he said. The department, Somchuan explained, has long carried out proactive monitoring to prevent the illegal use of the substance in slaughterhouses, feed factories and farms nationwide. The goal, he said, is to keep Thailand entirely free from ractopamine and to maintain consumer confidence, both domestically and among export markets, including the EU, China, Russia, and Japan, that also prohibit the additive in livestock production. Thailand’s livestock chief emphasised that food safety remains a matter of national interest and expressed confidence the government would prioritise public health over trade concessions. He added that he would consult Agriculture Minister Attakorn Sirilatthayakon should developments arise, noting that the minister’s position on the issue aligns with that of the Department of Livestock Development.
