Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
From what I understand, it’s not going to be difficult to get a one-year cannabis patient card, a certificate and a prescription, which then allows you to purchase cannabis legally. Several clinics in Thailand already offer the service I've been told. Some also offer it online, and apparently the online process takes about a week in order to receive the documents back from them in the post. This is after you’ve already submitted the necessary paperwork and completed some kind of online video recording process. So I'm estimating 10-14 days in total from start to finish with the online process. The general process to get the certificate should be pretty straight forward too I believe. You fill out a few forms, provide ID, and explain that you have a medical issue such as back pain, headaches, nausea, or trouble sleeping. That should be sufficient. Here’s a summary of what one clinic, whose information was translated from Thai, offers (although I don't like their idea of submitting a self-recorded online video to their clinic): One-year patient smart card: 550 baht Three-month medical certificate: 350 baht Prescription for controlled herbal medicine (e.g., cannabis): 150 baht Shipping fee: 50 baht (applies to all services) To get started, patients scan a LINE QR code to connect with the clinic and receive instructions by video or text. Then, they’re asked to record a short video clearly showing their face, while stating their full name, age, health conditions, drug allergies, and symptoms. They also submit a brief written summary of their symptoms and a photo of themselves holding their ID card or passport. Once this is completed, the doctor sends a QR code linking to a Google Form where the patient confirms their information and selects which services they need. After submitting the form, the requested documents are prepared and mailed within five to seven business days. -

Crime Daylight Shooting: Ex-Convict Gunned Down in Front of Home, Gold Chain Clutched in Hand
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 29-year-old man was shot dead in broad daylight outside his family home in Tha Sala District, just weeks after being released from prison on drug charges. The victim was found clutching a broken gold necklace in his hand, suggesting a violent struggle before his death. Police were called to the scene at approximately 15:30 on 8 July, after reports of gunfire at a residence in Moo 11, Mokhlan Subdistrict, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Responding officers, led by Pol Lt Narongchai Khongchuay of Tha Sala Police Station, arrived alongside senior police officials, forensic teams, medical personnel, and the Pracharuamjai Foundation rescue unit. The victim, Mr. Ittiphat, was found lying dead in front of the property, wearing black shorts and a black T-shirt. He had sustained five gunshot wounds from a .38 calibre firearm, to the head and torso. In his left hand, he was tightly gripping a broken gold necklace weighing approximately one baht, believed to have been torn during a scuffle. A spent bullet and metal fragments were also recovered from inside the home, which is situated within a gated area housing two properties. According to Mr. Amornsak, the victim’s father, his son sold bananas and pineapples from a stall set up in front of the house. At the time of the incident, he was about 40 metres away and noticed two men arrive on a red motorcycle, one wearing a helmet, the other a hooded jacket. Initially, he saw nothing suspicious. Moments later gunshots rang out shortly after the pair fled. Police suspect the attackers may have attempted to rob or confront the victim, who possibly resisted and grabbed one of the assailant’s necklaces during the altercation. Officers are now pursuing the suspects and reviewing CCTV footage from the area. Initial investigations revealed that Mr. Ittiphat had recently been released from prison for drug-related offences and was living with his mother and her new partner at the family home. His father, now separated from the mother, lives in a neighbouring house. Reports suggest that the victim continued to use drugs following his release, which had caused family tension. Police are investigating two possible motives: a conflict with a drug gang or a domestic dispute. Investigators are working to gather additional evidence and eyewitness testimony in the hunt for the perpetrators. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-07-10 -

Transport Over 20 Speed Bumps Spark Public Outcry in Ratchaburi Village
Did you ever see an accident when someone decides to run the red light but the car/truck in front of them doesn't? The worst motorbike accident I ever had was when I went over the speed bump on the far left but a young girl on a bike behind me decided to do the end run around and crashed into me. -

Crime Suspected Thief Fatally Shot by Police During Pursuit in Chiang Mai
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A man suspected of stealing electrical cables from a vacant home was fatally shot by police after attempting to flee arrest in Chiang Mai’s Mueang District. Authorities say the shooting was part of a tactical response, as the suspect was believed to be armed. The incident occurred around 11:30 on 9 July, in a gated residential community in Suthep Subdistrict. Police were alerted by a security guard after spotting the suspect, estimated to be in his 20s, entering a two-storey unoccupied house under the guise of doing gardening work. The suspect allegedly used tools to break in and began cutting and collecting electrical wiring. Officers from the Phuping Rajanivej Police Station arrived at the scene, where the suspect fled on foot. During the chase, officers reportedly fired their weapon in an attempt to disable the suspect. One of the bullets critically wounding him. He was rushed to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. At the scene, police found a black Honda Dream motorcycle (registration from Lamphun) parked outside the house. Tools including a knife, hammer, screwdriver, a sack and a bundle of electrical wires were discovered nearby, believed to have been used in the attempted theft. Preliminary reports suggest the suspect posed as a gardener to gain access to the neighbourhood. When confronted by police, he allegedly attempted to escape and may have been armed, prompting the officers to respond with gunfire. A senior official from Provincial Police Region 5 confirmed that reports indicated the suspect was in possession of a firearm, though no identification documents were found on him and his identity remains unknown. Body camera footage from the officers involved has not yet been released, as it is being treated as key evidence in the ongoing investigation. Authorities have stated that the officer’s actions were in line with police protocol and self-defence procedures, but a formal inquiry into the shooting is expected.
