Weights and Maybe a Date — Gym Shenanigans in Patts innit
Nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say. And a big raspberry to those naysayers who can't just leave the thumbs down alone. Sad, lonely little lives you must have (and just WATCH how many of them out themselves on this post). -

Crime Cyber Police Raid E-Cigarette Retailer – Over 2.6 Million Baht in Illegal Goods Seized
Picture courtesy of Daily News. The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau has shut down an online retailer of e-cigarettes and foreign tobacco products, seizing contraband valued at over 2.6 million baht and arresting multiple suspects in a series of coordinated operations. The raid, led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairong Phiwphan, Commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), along with senior officers and investigators, targeted the illegal website YASOOBVIBES which had been operating as a large-scale online distributor of prohibited vaping products. Authorities began their investigation after intelligence revealed that yasoobvibes.net was selling e-cigarettes and related items via the Line messaging app, with deliveries handled by private courier services. Police traced one of the delivery operations and conducted a surveillance operation in the Rama III area of Bangkok. On 26 June, officers intercepted a black Chevrolet vehicle in a car park near a rented room in Bang Phongphang, Yannawa District. Inside the vehicle, officers discovered large quantities of e-cigarettes and foreign tobacco products being prepared for delivery. The driver, identified as Mr. Winyu (alias Max) 28, was immediately arrested. During questioning, Max confessed to running the illicit business for around 7–8 months, earning approximately 200,000 to 300,000 baht per month. He disclosed that more products were being stored at a rented house in Soi 49, also in the Bang Phongphang area. Police then conducted a search of the property, where they arrested Mr. Kritsana (28), Mr. Bandit (26) and Ms. Suranya (37). Thousands of e-cigarettes, vape liquids and foreign tobacco products were found on site. The seized goods were valued at over 2.6 million baht. The three additional suspects told police they had been hired by Max to package goods for shipment, receiving a salary of 9,000 baht per month. All suspects now face multiple charges, including: • Possession of untaxed goods for the purpose of sale • Sale and distribution of prohibited items such as e-cigarettes and baraku (hookah) products, in violation of the Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522, amended by Act No. 4 (B.E. 2562), and the Consumer Protection Board Order No. 9/2558 • Concealment, aiding in sale and distribution of prohibited imports under Section 246 of the Customs Act All four suspects, along with the seized goods, have been handed over to investigators for legal proceedings. Authorities warn that illegal online sales of e-cigarettes and foreign tobacco continue to pose serious health and regulatory risks and pledge to intensify enforcement efforts nationwide.

Should I return to the UK - difficult decision!
There is another option, live in Thailand or wherever hot for as long as you can, when your health deteriorates to the point your life is too difficult, pull the plug, it's ok, better than dragging your life out in a miserable location. Maybe choose an end date, maybe age 80 -

Crime Serial Lottery Scam Artist Caught in Buriram, Hundreds of Tickets Stolen, Yet Never a Winner
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Police in Buriram have arrested a 35-year-old man from Udon Thani, known only as “Doe,” for repeatedly scamming lottery vendors out of hundreds of tickets, though he reportedly never won a single prize from the stolen tickets. Pol. Col. Jamras Siriliang, superintendent of Mueang Buriram Police Station, led officers in escorting the suspect, Weeraphon, to a crime scene reenactment following his confession. He admitted to stealing 262 lottery tickets and over 3,000 baht in cash from a vendor at Wat Isan, located in Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Buriram city. The latest scam took place on 26 June, when Doe posed as a buyer and approached a female lottery vendor outside a local temple. Pretending that a monk inside wanted to bulk-buy tickets, he engaged in a fake phone conversation with the supposed monk. He then convinced the vendor to sort the tickets into five envelopes (each containing 40–70 tickets) and requested money to be used as change, totalling more than 3,000 baht, claiming the monk would be paying in large notes. Trusting him due to the monk connection and phone call, the vendor handed over the lottery tickets and money. Doe then walked casually into the temple grounds and vanished. After waiting for more than an hour, the vendor realised she had been tricked and promptly reported the incident to the police. The victim, Ms. Amnuay (surname withheld) 51, said she believed the scam due to Doe’s calm demeanour and reference to a monk. The total loss, she explained, amounted to approximately 24,000 baht (including 262 lottery tickets valued at 20,960 baht and 3,200 baht in cash). She described sleepless nights following the incident and thanked the police for the swift arrest. During interrogation, Doe admitted to using the same scam at least five times, targeting vendors in several provinces, including Saraburi, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima and Udon Thani. Shockingly, he also confessed to deceiving disabled individuals using the same method. Yet despite stealing hundreds of tickets, he lamented that not one had yielded a prize. Police revealed that Doe was already wanted on multiple arrest warrants in several provinces for similar crimes. He has now been charged with theft using a vehicle to facilitate the offence and was handed over to investigators to face legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-06-29
