Politics Calls for PM's Resignation Not a Solution, Says Thai Deputy Minister
Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, center, arrives at Government House for a cabinet meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday, June 24, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Amid rising demands for the Prime Minister's resignation and the dissolution of parliament, Deputy Transport Minister Monporn Charoensri stresses that these actions are not the answer to Thailand's challenges. Speaking on 29th June, Monporn, who is also an MP for Nakhon Phanom with the Pheu Thai Party, responded to the People's Party's calls for dissolving parliament and grassroots protests urging PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra to step down. She argued that a strong and stable government is crucial for effectively managing the country's issues. She highlighted the importance of addressing both internal and external conflicts and underscored the urgency of fostering national unity. Economic growth, aimed at boosting GDP by 2025, remains a priority. Additionally, building investor confidence, both domestically and internationally, is vital for Thailand's future.

Crime 4x100 Drug Production Site Raided in Ubon Ratchathani
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have raided an illegal production site of the illicit concoction known as “4x100,” arresting a supplier and seizing a large quantity of kratom tea and cough syrup in Warin Chamrap district, Ubon Ratchathani. The operation, led by Pol. Lt. Gen. Wittaya Sriprasertpap, Commander of the Crime Suppression Division (CSD), was carried out under the direction of Pol. Col. Suriyasak Jirawat and Pol. Lt. Suwijak Rattanaphan. Officers apprehended Mr. Nakorn 53, for multiple offences under The Food Act of 1979, particularly concerning the illegal production and sale of substances classified under List 52, which includes kratom leaves and extracts. The raid took place in a commercial building located in Soi Arkan, Saensuk subdistrict, Warin Chamrap. Authorities discovered a makeshift processing and storage facility disguised as a local shop. Hidden in large freezers and ice containers were 211 bottles of kratom tea in various sizes (1.5L, 1L, and 500ml), as well as 189 bottles of cough syrup, key ingredients in the 4x100 cocktail. Police also seized a detailed sales ledger titled “Kratom Warehouse,” which included precise records of daily sales and inventory, suggesting a professional and large-scale operation. The estimated value of the seized goods exceeds 200,000 baht. The raid followed a tip-off indicating that the suspect had been openly selling kratom-based drinks mixed with pharmaceutical cough syrup in local markets, in blatant disregard for the law. Mr. Nakorn was immediately taken into custody and transferred to Warin Chamrap Police Station for further legal proceedings. Under the law, the illegal production or distribution of kratom products carries penalties of six months to two years’ imprisonment and fines ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 baht. Authorities have warned that further inspections will be carried out as part of a broader crackdown on the resurgence of illicit 4x100 production across the region.

Crime Vietnamese Man Arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport for Using Fake Documents to Work Illegally
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport have arrested a 22-year-old Vietnamese national attempting to leave Thailand using forged immigration documents and stamps, in a case that underscores ongoing efforts to clamp down on illegal employment and document fraud. Pol. Maj. Gen. Choengron Rimpadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, confirmed the arrest of Mr. Quoc, who was apprehended while preparing to board Vietnam Airlines flight VN616 back to Vietnam. Mr. Quoc had approached the immigration counter to apply for re-entry, intending to return to Thailand for work, but officers became suspicious of the employment permit stamps in his passport. Upon inspection, authorities discovered irregularities in the payment receipt and the employment endorsement stamp allegedly issued by Trat Immigration Office, authorising Mr. Quoc to work under Thailand’s three-nationality labour programme. A further investigation by the Division 2 Investigation and Suppression Sub-Division, confirmed that the documents were counterfeit. During initial questioning, Mr. Quoc confessed to illegally working in Thailand using forged documents. He admitted to hiring an agent who created fake immigration stamps for a NON L-A work visa, a category not legally applicable in his case. The agent reportedly operated via a well-known online platform, where Mr. Quoc submitted his passport for forgery services. As a result, immigration officials have charged Mr. Quoc with “forging or using forged official stamps or seals of public organisations or government officers” and “forging and using forged government documents.” He was handed over to the investigating officers at the Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station for legal proceedings. Pol. Maj. Gen. Choengron highlighted that the arrest reflects the strict policy of Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanumas Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, aimed at suppressing illegal employment and the use of fraudulent documents. He added that immigration officers are carrying out thorough checks at all stages to safeguard national security and maintain order at border entry points. Adapted by Asean Now from Kaoded 2025-06-30
