A Rayong mother has asked police to arrest her own son and his friends after alleging they repeatedly gathered at her home to smoke cannabis at night. Orathai, 36, posted phone footage of the group on social media after saying her repeated warnings had failed to stop them. Police have since seized cannabis and smoking equipment from the property and are taking legal action against her son and his friends. The case concerns a house in Village 12, Bang But subdistrict, Ban Khai district, Rayong province. Mother says warnings were ignored Orathai said the youths, some still in school and others no longer studying, regularly arrived at the house on motorcycles before gathering to smoke cannabis. She said the smell spread through the house and became a nuisance. According to Orathai, the group continued to use the property despite her attempts to tell them to stop. After smoking, she said, the youths often appeared dazed and absent-minded. She also alleged that her son could become irritable and sometimes harmed himself. Rather than trying to protect him from possible consequences, Orathai said she wanted officers to arrest and prosecute both her son and the other young people involved. Police seize items from the house Pol Col Pramot Kongkalai, chief of Ban Khai Police Station, ordered investigators to inspect the address after the complaint was made. Police seized cannabis and smoking paraphernalia as evidence. They are proceeding with legal action against Orathai's son and his friends, in line with her request.
