Crime CIB Raids Rayong Construction Company Over Illegal Chinese Pipe Imports
Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has raided a construction supply company in Rayong province following a tip-off that the business was smuggling plastic pipes from China into Thailand without paying import duties. Acting on orders from Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridej, Commissioner of the CIB, officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), under the command of senior officers including Police Major General Thaspoom Jaruprach, coordinated the raid on Wee Thai Construction Co., Ltd., located near the Airplane Market in Nikom Phatthana district. The company and its executives are accused of violating customs laws by knowingly concealing and distributing untaxed goods. The goods in question, PVC and PE pipes, are commonly used in agricultural irrigation, plumbing and electrical conduit systems. The investigation began after complaints were filed by consumers who questioned how the company could sell products significantly cheaper than competitors. Authorities suspected the low prices were a result of the goods being smuggled into the country to avoid customs duties. Surveillance and intelligence gathering by the ECD’s Subdivision 2 revealed the company had indeed been importing large quantities of pipes without passing through formal customs procedures. Officers secured a search warrant from Rayong Provincial Court and proceeded with the raid. During the operation, authorities discovered over 1,000 pieces of PE and PVC piping of Chinese origin stored at the company’s warehouse. The company was unable to provide documentation proving the legal importation of the goods or the payment of relevant duties. As a result, the CIB seized the goods and filed a formal complaint against both the company and its authorised executive director. Legal proceedings have begun under The Customs Act, which prohibits the possession or sale of goods that have not cleared customs inspection. During preliminary questioning, the suspect confessed to all charges, admitting that the pipes were brought into Thailand illegally. The company had been mixing undeclared products with legitimately imported goods in order to avoid detection. The pipes were brought in via Laem Chabang Port and had been distributed across the local market for nearly a year. The suspect claimed the motivation behind the operation was to meet high market demand while keeping prices low. However, authorities warned that such actions not only breach customs law but also pose potential safety and quality risks to consumers. The investigation is ongoing and the CIB has signalled that it will continue to crack down on similar operations across the country to protect consumers and uphold fair market competition.

Medical certificate
This was all explained in detail in your previous thread. You either 1. Apply for Non O-A in UK or 2. Apply for Non O in UK or 3. Enter Thailand visa exempt and apply for Non O at local immigration office in Thailand. Only # 1 requires health insurance. Only # 1 requires medical certificate. Plenty of links and advice provided. None of which seems to register.. -

Accident Man Decapitated After Volvo Slams into Lorry in Pathum Thani
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 25-year-old man was tragically killed in the early hours of 8 June after his Volvo sedan crashed into the rear of a ten-wheeler lorry carrying glass bottles. The collision, which occurred at a traffic light junction in Pathum Thani province, resulted in the driver being decapitated on impact. At around 03:30, Pol. Sub-Lt. Sahasawat Sopha from Suan Phrik Thai Police Station responded to the scene at the Ban Klang traffic lights on Rangsit-Pathum Thani Road. He was joined by forensic doctors from the Ministry of Justice, traffic police and rescue volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. At the scene, officers found a Hino 10-wheeled lorry, registered in Nong Bua Lamphu province, stationary in the middle of the intersection. A Volvo sedan, registered in Bangkok, was wedged halfway under the lorry’s rear. Inside the wrecked vehicle, police discovered the body of the male driver, who had been decapitated by the force of the collision. His severed head was found on the back seat. The lorry driver, 58-year-old Mr Prayoon remained at the scene to cooperate with police. He told officers he had been delivering bottles from Chonburi to a recycling facility in central Pathum Thani. As he approached the intersection, he said he was slowly rolling through when he heard a loud crash at the rear of his truck. His wife, who was seated beside him, was thrown against the front windshield by the impact. Upon inspecting the scene, he discovered the Volvo had rammed into his vehicle without any apparent attempt to brake. The victim’s father later arrived at the scene, devastated. He explained that his son had been returning home to Bang Kadi after visiting friends in the Bangkok University area. Police recorded the scene as evidence and arranged for the deceased’s body to be sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Ministry of Justice for further examination. Relatives will be contacted to collect the body for funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-09
