In a recent operation by the special operations team from the Thung Yai Charity Faith Samakkhi Foundation, a man was apprehended in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province after his substance abuse led to destructive and delusional behaviour. The individual, who had been consuming methamphetamine daily, was reported to have caused substantial damage to his home and was suffering from severe hallucinations.

 

The head of the charitable foundation, Sompong Suksom, led the intervention following a desperate plea from the man’s father. The concerned parent reported that his son’s addiction to methamphetamine had escalated to the point of inducing psychosis. The son’s delusions included boasts of possessing a substantial amount of cocaine, an arsenal of firearms and two private jets stationed overseas.

 

Upon arrival at the residence, located at 113/3 Ban Nong Wa, Village No. 5, Kuhera Subdistrict, Thung Yai District, the team encountered the man in a state of agitated confusion. He was engaged in erratic conversations and laughter, all the while asserting his ownership of 400 grammes of cocaine and 11 AK-style firearms near his dwelling, as well as the jets.

Charitable foundations in Thailand have apprehension powers versus the RTP?

Without police/military involvement such apprehension could be considered kidnapping.
