Crime University Lecturer Unmasked as Illegal Arms Dealer Operating Inside Military Welfare Store
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities have uncovered a shocking case involving a university lecturer who allegedly operated an illicit online firearms business out of a welfare shop within a military base in Nakhon Si Thammarat.The suspect, Mr Wisut 41, was arrested following a raid by military operatives and has since been transferred to police custody. The arrest took place inside the PX civilian-run store at Vajiravudh Military Camp, Fourth Army Region Headquarters, where Mr Wisut had been renting space. Officials discovered a large cache of illegal weapons, including 35 firearms, over 16,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 100 related items. Investigations revealed that the weapons were being sold online and distributed via private delivery services. Following his arrest, Mr Wisut was charged with multiple serious offences: illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, possession of prohibited firearms, and unauthorised sale of firearms and explosives, offences that carry penalties of up to 20 years or life imprisonment under strict firearms regulations. Further investigations revealed that Mr Wisut holds a teaching position in the Business Administration programme at a prominent university in southern Thailand. He recently completed his PhD at a respected Thai institution and was in the process of securing a higher academic rank. Financial investigations uncovered that he used a company account, involving two other individuals, his father-in-law and sister-in-law, listed as company directors. Authorities believe their names were likely used without active participation. Mr Wisut’s personal accounts showed suspicious transactions involving tens of millions of baht. Additional intelligence indicated that Mr Wisut had also constructed an unlicensed shooting range in Pho Thong subdistrict, Tha Sala district. The large volume of ammunition recovered included military-grade rounds — 5.56mm for M16 rifles and 7.62mm for machine guns, many of which were still packed in steel crates bearing serial numbers. Initial findings suggest the ammunition originated from a national security agency and implicate at least two individuals currently serving within that agency. Authorities are now seeking arrest warrants for further suspects and continuing to trace the wider network. This case has raised serious concerns about the misuse of military infrastructure and academic positions for criminal enterprises, prompting a wider probe into internal security practices and arms control.

Crime Online E-Cigarette Kingpin Arrested in Bangkok – Over 100 Million Baht in Sales Uncovered
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a high-profile raid conducted by police, a major online e-cigarette distributor with a customer base spanning the country has been arrested. The suspect, identified as Mr. Thonnon, 41, was found in possession of over 100,000 vaping products worth more than 50 million baht at a commercial building in the Prawet district of Bangkok. The operation was led by Police General Prachuap Wongsuk, Deputy Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, in coordination with officers from the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) and the Metropolitan Police Bureau. The arrest was carried out at a four-storey commercial unit located in the Cape Biz Sector along Sukhaphiban 2 Road, which had been covertly transformed into a central distribution warehouse and packaging centre. Authorities began investigating after discovering a secret Line group named “Nai Khieow Khajee” (“Mr. Verdant Green”), which served as a hub for the illegal sale of vaping products. The group operated as a large-scale online dealer, using private courier services to discreetly ship items across Thailand while avoiding official scrutiny. Upon entering the premises with a court-issued search warrant, officers found the building filled with boxes of vaping devices, e-liquid pods and related paraphernalia. A team of around 10 employees was in the process of packing orders for distribution when police intervened. During questioning, Mr. Thonnon admitted ownership of the entire inventory and confessed that he had been running the operation for over two years, sourcing the products from Chinese suppliers. He revealed that daily revenue ranged between 300,000 and 500,000 baht, with annual financial transactions exceeding 100 million baht. Authorities have charged him with the illegal sale and distribution of e-cigarettes and related liquids, as well as with concealing and trading goods smuggled into the Kingdom without customs clearance. He was taken into custody and handed over, along with the seized items, to investigators from the CPPD’s Subdivision 1 for further legal proceedings. Thailand maintains a strict ban on the importation and sale of e-cigarettes, and officials continue to clamp down on illegal networks that exploit online platforms to circumvent the law.

Accident Teenage Boy 15, Dies After Motorcycle Crashes into Rear of Car in Lampang
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 15-year-old boy has died following a road crash in Lampang province on the evening of 28 May. The incident occurred on the outer ring road near the entrance to Ban Sri Muad Klao, in Chomphu subdistrict, Mueang district. Emergency services from the Lampang Rescue Association were alerted by the 191 Police Radio Centre after a report was received of a motorcycle colliding with the rear of a white Honda City sedan. Upon arrival, rescue personnel found the car stationary in the middle of the road with damage to the left rear side. Debris from the impact was scattered across the road surface. A blue-and-black motorcycle bearing Lampang plates was found nearby, heavily damaged and lying on its side. The rider, later identified as Mr Songkran, a 15-year-old student from a local school in Mae Tha district, was discovered unresponsive at the scene. He was wearing his school sports uniform and had been thrown from the vehicle by the force of the impact. He was found lying face down at the roadside, bleeding from his mouth and nose. Rescue workers immediately performed CPR before rushing him to Lampang Hospital. Despite all efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead a short time later. Initial investigations suggest the motorcycle was travelling at high speed before it slammed into the back of the sedan. Investigating officers from Khelang Nakhon Police Station have launched a full inquiry to determine the exact cause of the crash. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-05-30.
