Crime Two Chinese Fugitives Arrested at Bangkok Airport Over Multi-Billion Baht Money Laundering
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two Chinese nationals wanted under arrest warrants have been detained at Suvarnabhumi Airport in connection with a massive money laundering operation worth over 5 billion baht, involving the purchase of a hotel in Bangkok’s Silom district. Police Major General Cherngron Rimphadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, announced that the arrests followed a directive from Police Lieutenant General Panumas Boonlaks, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, to rigorously screen individuals with outstanding arrest warrants entering or leaving the country. On 20 May at around 16:00, immigration police, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Sila Phuttiraphiphan and officers from the Immigration Bureau’s Special Operations Division, apprehended the suspects shortly after their arrival at the airport to catch a flight. The suspects have been identified as: 1. Mr Zhao Chuanbo, also known as Donggua, a 41-year-old Chinese national, wanted under a Nonthaburi Provincial Court warrant (No. 665/2568, issued 15 May 2025). He faces charges of extortion, and wilfully damaging, destroying, concealing, or rendering useless a will or legal document, to the detriment of others or the public. 2. Mr Huang Jianping, aged 39, also a Chinese national, facing identical charges under warrant No. 666/2568, issued by the same court on the same date. Authorities confirmed that Mr Donggua is the subject of an Interpol red notice and had entered Thailand illegally. He is believed to be a key figure in a large-scale international money laundering syndicate. The investigation revealed that funds from China were laundered through the acquisition of a high-end hotel in Silom, Bangkok, valued at over 5 billion baht, alongside a range of other related assets. The suspects are now in custody pending extradition proceedings and further investigation into their financial network and activities within Thailand. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-22. -

Report Thailand to Require Medical Certificates for Cannabis Use Within 40 Days
File photo for reference only. AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit Thailand's Public Health Minister has announced a major regulation change requiring cannabis users to present medical certificates, aiming to curb recreational use. Minister Somsak Thepsutin revealed plans for the new rules, hoping to establish order after cannabis was decriminalised nearly three years ago. This move reflects ongoing efforts to regulate cannabis use amid the rapid rise in recreational consumption. Minister Somsak's proposition marks a shift towards stricter cannabis control, emphasising verified medical use prescribed by licensed professionals. He stated, "We will improve regulations on cannabis use," reinforcing the need for medical certification, applicable to both locals and foreigners. The Health Ministry aims to unveil this updated regulation within 40 days, bringing medical-focused groundwork to a previously unchecked cannabis market. Cannabis decriminalisation initially emerged as a policy driven by the Bhumjaithai Party, recognising its potential economic benefits. Yet, a surge in recreational use and cannabis-related businesses has prompted significant regulation review. Dr Somlerk Jeungsmarn, Director-General of the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, echoed the sentiment, suggesting potential dosage limits and penalties for non-medical use, including possible imprisonment. Despite earlier legislative delays, the new bill spearheaded by Pheu Thai aims to regulate cannabis industries more tightly, focusing on health and medical purposes. Proposed changes will demand licenses for cannabis cultivation, sales, and other related businesses, addressing past regulatory gaps. The draft, recently publicised under Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's administration, proposes licensing mandates, albeit without an outright ban on recreational use due to political pressure from Bhumjaithai. The upcoming legislation suggests an increasingly regulated environment, with the Ministry of Public Health poised to enforce enhanced controls. While the precise implications of these changes remain to be seen, the drive towards medical certification underscores a significant pivot in Thailand’s cannabis policy, seeking to streamline usage strictly for health-orientated applications.
