Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police in Surat Thani have launched a targeted crackdown on illegal migrant workers and their employers on Koh Phangan, arresting multiple individuals in an operation aimed at tackling illegal immigration and associated offences. The special operation, carried out by the Provincial Investigation Division of Surat Thani (PIDS), was led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Charoenchai Boonkliang, with support from the Special Task Force Unit stationed at the Sri Thanu Forward Operations Centre on Koh Phangan. The raids were conducted under the directive of Region 8 Provincial Police, covering the enforcement period from 19–25 June. Authorities raided eight locations across the island, primarily targeting labour camps where migrant workers were believed to be employed illegally. A number of Myanmar nationals were arrested for offences including illegal entry into the country, working without the proper permits and other violations of immigration and labour laws. Several employers were also detained for hiring undocumented workers. Police Lt. Col. Charoenchai stated that the operation was part of a broader effort to tighten control over illegal labour and cross-border crime. All those arrested will be prosecuted according to th law and the illegal workers will be deported after legal proceedings conclude. The crackdown aligns with national policy directives from Police Lieutenant General Surapong Thanomjit, Commander of Region 8 Police, alongside other senior officers including Police Major General Pornchai Khajornklin and Police Colonel Parinya Tandhasuwan. Authorities say the aim is to enhance public confidence and security on Koh Phangan. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-26 -

Report New Cannabis Regulation: Prescription Required for Sales
I am sure the cannabis shops have prepared for this already and will not affect them as badly as predicted. The police have surely set up some kind of plan for this also. Perhaps directing the shops to doctors on their list that they will overlook or perhaps by demanding more brown envelopes. Either way, I do not see all the cannabis shops closing for this new law. Just as any law in Thailand, it will be enforced and then forgotten until it is time to get the envelope. -

Accident Songthaew Crosses Median in Rainstorm, Crashes Into Two Lorries
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A road crash occurred on the morning of 25 June in Chachoengsao province, when a yellow passenger songthaew driver, veered out of control during heavy rain and crossed into oncoming traffic, crashing into both a six-wheeled lorry and a ten-wheeled truck. Miraculously, the driver survived. The crash happened on the Chachoengsao–Phanat Nikhom road, in Moo 3 of the Si Phet Sok subdistrict, Ban Pho district. Police Lieutenant Colonel Teep Mailuekdee, an investigator at Ban Pho Police Station, responded to the emergency along with rescue workers from Ban Pho Hospital and the Chachoengsao rescue foundation. Emergency services found one injured man trapped inside the wreckage of the six-wheeled lorry. He was later identified as Mr. Thammarat aged 20. Rescuers managed to extract him and transport him to Ban Pho Hospital. The songthaew driver, told police he was returning to central Chachoengsao from Phanat Nikhom in Chonburi. At the time, there were no passengers on board. According to his statement, the vehicle hit a large patch of standing water amid heavy rain, causing him to lose control. The songthaew mounted the central reservation and crossed into the opposing lane, where it collided first with a light blue Hino six-wheeled lorry, driven by Mr. Thanun, who was travelling with his son. It then struck a white ten-wheeled Hino lorry in the inside lane, driven by Mr. Wichan, who sustained only minor injuries to his wrist. Mr. Wichan recounted the moment: “I was driving towards Phanat Nikhom when Mr. Thanun’s truck overtook in the right lane. Suddenly, the songthaew came skidding across the median straight into us, crashing between our two vehicles.” He described the crash as a “miracle” that the songthaew driver survived at all. Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area to confirm the exact sequence of events. Authorities have not ruled out further legal or safety actions pending a full investigation.

What I find difficult to understand is there has been very little problems from people using cannabis than people causing problems from alcohol abuse so why is there so much concern
