Crime Brazilian Duo Arrested for Smuggling Cocaine Worth Over 22 Million Baht at Suvarnabhumi
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Two Brazilian nationals have been arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport after customs officials discovered over seven kilograms of cocaine concealed in their luggage, with an estimated street value exceeding 22 million baht. The arrests, confirmed by Phanthong Loykulnanta, Advisor on Revenue Development and Administration and spokesperson for the Customs Department, form part of a wider crackdown on drug trafficking spearheaded by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The initiative is supported by Deputy Prime Minister Phichai Chunhavachira and Deputy Finance Minister Julphan Amornvivat. Acting on intelligence gathered by the Customs Department’s Investigation and Suppression Division in collaboration with the Airport Interdiction Task Force (AITF), which includes the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) and the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, authorities identified two high-risk passengers en route from Salvador International Airport in Brazil. The pair had transited through Paris Charles de Gaulle and arrived in Bangkok aboard an Air France flight. Customs officials stationed near baggage carousel 18 observed the suspects, a 26-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, who proceeded through the airport’s green channel in Zone B of the international arrivals area, indicating they had no goods to declare. Officers approached the pair, presented their credentials, and requested to inspect their passports and luggage. An X-ray scan of the suitcases revealed unusual anomalies within the lining and base of both bags. A subsequent manual search uncovered black carbon paper-wrapped packages filled with a white powdery substance inside clear plastic wrapping. A field test using cobalt thiocyanate reagent confirmed the substance to be cocaine, turning blue upon contact. In total, 7.4 kilograms of cocaine were seized. The suspects have been charged with the illegal importation and possession of a Category 2 narcotic under Thailand’s Narcotic Code. Additional charges under Sections 242 and 252 of the 2017 Customs Act and other relevant legislation are also being pursued. The Customs Department reiterated its commitment to protecting Thai society from the dangers of drug trafficking. Between 1 October 2024 and 6 May 2025, officials have made 140 drug-related arrests, with seizures valued at a total of 800 million baht. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-07. -

Switching to a new phone - massive ballache
I bought a new Xiaomi, still have my old one so should be easy to do the switches....have a cable so even easier.... Google copies apps over easy enough but of course not in the same position as before, so they get a grade C Google copies the files over, many are missing so i have to delete and copy manually, they get a grade D- Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank smooth move, grade A. Krungsri fails i have to go to branch, grade F all the other logins, UK banks, shopping apps, everything, takes longer than last time. Websites saved to home screen so look like apps all missing so i have to do manually, grade F for ignoring that requirement. All in all it's a rubbish long winded process, not seamless at all, takes hours- 1
