Crime CIB Nabs Fugitive Gold Snatcher After 12 Years on the Run
Picture courtesy of CIB Officers from The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have arrested a man who had been evading capture for more than 12 years after allegedly snatching a gold necklace while riding a borrowed motorcycle. The arrest was made by the Special Operations Division of the CIB. The suspect, identified as Mr. Chatree aged 39, was apprehended outside a residence in Moo 5, Phra Khao Subdistrict, Bang Ban District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. He faces charges of “snatching property using a vehicle to facilitate the offence, escape or conceal the stolen property.” The crime occurred on 12 July 2013, when a lone assailant riding a motorcycle approached a victim from behind and violently grabbed a gold necklace along with a gold-framed amulet pendant. The perpetrator then fled the scene. Upon reporting the incident to local police, the victim was shown CCTV footage, which identified Mr. Chatree as the assailant. The owner of the motorcycle confirmed that Mr. Chatree had borrowed the vehicle at the time of the crime. A court subsequently issued an arrest warrant for him. Despite the warrant, Mr. Chatree managed to avoid capture for more than a decade. Investigators eventually tracked him to a remote location in Bang Ban District, where he had been living under the radar. Acting on this intelligence, officers moved in and identified him outside an unnumbered house in Moo 5. The police team presented the arrest warrant, informed the suspect of his legal rights, and took him into custody without resistance. He was then handed over to investigators at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Police Station for prosecution in accordance with the law. Adapted by Asean Now from CIB 2025-07-10 -

Health Two Dead in Chiang Mai Linked to ‘Deafness Fever’ After Eating Raw Pork Dish
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. Two villagers in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province, have died and several others have fallen ill after consuming larb dib, a traditional dish made with raw or undercooked pork. Health officials have confirmed that the illness was caused by a deadly bacteria often associated with the consumption of contaminated pork. The Chiang Mai Provincial Public Health Office (CPHO) has urged the public to avoid eating raw or partially cooked pork, warning that doing so can lead to severe illness or even death. According to Chom Thong Hospital, patients began reporting symptoms between February and July 2025. Most experienced high fever, severe headaches and in some cases, sudden hearing loss, a condition colloquially known in Thailand as “deafness disease.” Symptoms rapidly progressed in several patients, leading to hospitalisation and in two cases, death. The most recent fatality was a 59-year-old man who, between 30 June and 2 July, had purchased pork from an informal slaughterhouse in a neighbouring village. He prepared and consumed larb dib with a group of friends. On 3 July, he developed high fever, muscle aches, chills, vomiting and extreme fatigue. His condition deteriorated further the following day, prompting family members to take him to hospital. Blood tests confirmed Streptococcus suis infection, and he died on 5 July. No symptoms have been reported among those who shared the meal or his close contacts. Data from the CPHO show that, so far in 2025, there have been seven confirmed cases of Streptococcus suis infection in Chiang Mai Province, resulting in two deaths. Five of the cases were reported in Chom Thong District, with the remaining two in Wiang Haeng and Doi Tao Districts. In response, local disease control teams have been actively monitoring high-risk contacts, 21 individuals who may have been exposed, as well as six pork vendors. None have developed symptoms so far. Authorities are also conducting public awareness campaigns, advising against the consumption of raw or undercooked pork, particularly from unlicensed or non-compliant slaughterhouses. The Department of Livestock Development has also been informed and is working with local officials to trace the pork source and ensure proper hygiene and safety standards are being followed. Public health officials reiterate: consuming raw pork carries a serious risk of infection and should be avoided entirely. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-07-10 -

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
From what I understand, getting a one-year cannabis patient card, a medical certificate, and a prescription in Thailand is a fairly straightforward process, and once obtained, these documents will allow you to legally purchase cannabis. Several clinics in Thailand already offer this service, and some even handle the entire process online. The online route typically takes about a week for the documents to arrive by post, after you’ve submitted your paperwork and completed a short video recording. So in total, you’re probably looking at 10 to 14 days from start to finish. The process itself seems simple. You fill out a few forms, provide a copy of your ID, and explain that you have a medical condition such as back pain, headaches, nausea, or trouble sleeping. That’s usually enough to qualify. Here’s an example of what one clinic offers, based on a translation from Thai (though I’m not a fan of their requirement for a self-recorded video): One-year patient smart card: 550 baht Three-month medical certificate: 350 baht Prescription for controlled herbal medicine (such as cannabis): 150 baht Shipping fee: 50 baht (applies to all services) Total cost is 1,100 baht. To begin, you scan a LINE QR code to connect with the clinic and receive instructions, either by video or text. You’ll then be asked to record a short video clearly showing your face, stating your full name, age, health conditions, drug allergies, and symptoms. You’ll also submit a written summary of your symptoms and a photo of yourself holding your ID card or passport. Once that’s done, the doctor sends you a QR code linking to a Google Form where you confirm your information and select the services you need. After submitting the form, the clinic prepares the documents and mails them out within five to seven business days.
