Accident Air Force Officer Missing After Boat Capsizes in Mekong River During Drug Patrol
UPDATE Body of Air Force Officer Recovered After Drowning in Mekong During Drug Surveillance Mission Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The body of Flight Sergeant Major Sukasem Promphanchaichai, an officer with the Royal Thai Air Force’s Special Operations Unit, was recovered on the morning of 12 June, after he drowned during a drug surveillance operation on the Mekong River in Khong Chiam district. At approximately 00:30, personnel from the Mekong River Peacekeeping Unit deployed two patrol boats to retrieve the fallen officer’s body, which was found floating roughly only 20 metres from where the boat capsized near Bung Khee Lek village, Na Waeng subdistrict, Khemarat district. The operation was overseen by General Manat Chandee, Chief of Army Staff, along with senior military officers and rescue agencies. The body was transported to Khemarat Hospital for an initial examination, before being transferred to the forensic department at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital in Ubon Ratchathani. It will then be flown to the Air Force Headquarters in Bangkok for official ceremonies and funeral proceedings. The incident occurred on the evening of 10 June, during a joint reconnaissance mission involving three Air Force personnel. Flight Sgt. Maj. Sukasem, along with Flight Sgt. Maj. Suwat Phoolnates and Sergeant Chitsanupong Atpanya, had been patrolling the banks of the Mekong to investigate suspected drug smuggling activity. Using binoculars, they spotted a suspicious fertiliser sack believed to contain illegal narcotics, placed on a rock formation about 500 metres from the Thai riverbank. The officers borrowed a local fishing boat to approach the location, but were caught in powerful currents and whirlpools. The boat capsized, throwing all three officers into the river. While two of the officers managed to swim back to shore, Flight Sgt. Maj. Sukasem was swept away and went missing. His M16 rifle, along with those of his colleagues, was also lost during the incident. The Royal Thai Air Force has expressed its condolences to the family of Flight Sgt. Maj. Sukasem, honouring his sacrifice in the line of duty during a mission to protect the nation from the scourge of narcotics. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-13 -

Crime Woman Arrested in Rayong for Selling E-Cigarettes via Facebook Following Tip-Off
Picture courtesy of Matichon A 40-year-old woman has been arrested in Rayong for illegally selling electronic cigarettes online, after a tip-off was submitted via the government’s app. The arrest was announced during a press briefing at the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) headquarters in Muang Thong Thani by Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwphan, Commissioner of the TCSD. Officers from the Division 2 of the TCSD initiated an undercover purchase of e-cigarette products through the suspect’s Facebook page. Upon receiving the ordered items, police traced the delivery route and origin of the shipment, leading them to a residence on Wat Map Ta Phut Road in the Map Ta Phut subdistrict of Rayong’s Muang district. At the property, officers found Ms. Teeraporn along with a large quantity of illegal vaping products and related items, including: • 164 disposable e-cigarette devices • 3 reusable e-cigarette kits • 30 e-liquid pods • 72 bottles of vape refill liquid • Packaging materials and communication devices used in the operation • A tablet logged into a Facebook account named “E-cigarettes Map Ta Phut Huai Pong Rayong (Full Accessories)” Ms. Teeraporn confessed to owning the products and admitted to switching from a physical storefront to online sales to evade law enforcement following the government’s crackdown on vape-related goods. She had reportedly been selling online for about three months, earning an average of 50,000 baht per month. The authorities have charged her with violating a 2024 order issued by the Committee on the Safety of Goods and Services, which bans the production, sale, and service of shisha (baraku), electronic shisha, e-cigarettes and related refills. She also faces charges related to the unlawful possession and distribution of goods that have not passed customs clearance. The suspect and the seized items have been handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-13 -
