Crime Major VAT Fraud Network Busted: Over 1 Billion Baht in Losses
Picture courtesy of CIB The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Royal Thai Police, in collaboration with the Revenue Department, has launched a high-profile crackdown dubbed the “Anti Tax Fraud Operation”, aimed at dismantling a sophisticated network involved in large-scale value-added tax (VAT) fraud. The operation uncovered fraudulent activities causing state losses exceeding 1 billion baht. At the heart of the investigation is a company named S & M Brotherhood Co., Ltd., which claimed to operate in the import-export sector. According to authorities, the company and its affiliated entities fabricated a complex chain of fictitious trade transactions. These false records created the illusion of legitimate goods being bought and sold between companies, culminating in fabricated exports. The ultimate objective was to exploit Thailand’s VAT refund system. Under current tax law, exporters are eligible to claim a 7% VAT refund on goods sold abroad. By submitting fraudulent export documentation and inflated invoices based on non-existent goods, the company successfully obtained substantial VAT refunds from the Revenue Department. The Central Investigation Bureau, through its Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECSD), coordinated simultaneous raids and inspections, gathering vital evidence to support criminal proceedings. “This is a significant blow against organised tax fraud,” a CIB spokesperson said. “The operation reflects our commitment to professional, impartial law enforcement and protecting the interests of the public.” Investigations are ongoing, with authorities expected to pursue legal action against company directors and others involved in the scheme. The Revenue Department is also reviewing refund procedures to prevent similar abuses in the future. Adapted by Asean Now from CIB 2025-07-01 -

Immigration problems with DTV?
Incompetence and / or lack of training is no excuse. If someone has met the requirements to be issued with the visa, and is legally using it, then they shouldn't be asked such questions upon entry. -

Fire Fire Erupts at Popular Chachoengsao Mall Restaurant – Entire Floor Engulfed in Smoke
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Panic erupted at a well-known shopping mall in Chachoengsao on the evening of 29 June, after a fire broke out at a Japanese barbecue restaurant on the ground floor, prompting an evacuation and a large-scale emergency response. The incident occurred around 20:30 at a mall located in Na Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District. Police Lieutenant Chalermphon Satharam from Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station received an emergency report and immediately coordinated with the municipal fire brigade, dispatching fire engines to the scene. The blaze is believed to have started from a grill inside the restaurant before quickly spreading to wall partitions and ceiling structures, sending dense smoke billowing throughout the floor. The restaurant, located near a side exit of the mall, became the centre of firefighting operations. Firefighters divided into two teams: one team attacked the flames directly inside the restaurant, while the other deployed powerful exhaust (PPV - positive pressure ventilation) fans to ventilate smoke from the premises. Fine water mist was sprayed to prevent the smoke from backing into the building, helping to maintain visibility and air quality. Thermal imaging equipment was brought in to detect lingering heat, which revealed multiple hotspots hidden in air conditioning ducts lined with flammable insulation. Firefighters were forced to dismantle sections of the ceiling and interior walls to reach and cool these areas to prevent re-ignition. Despite the scale of the fire and the intensity of the smoke, no injuries or casualties were reported. Mall staff were praised for acting swiftly to evacuate all customers and employees before emergency crews arrived. Preliminary inspections estimate that around 70% of the restaurant was damaged, including partition walls, ductwork, seating, barbecue equipment, refrigeration units and other electrical appliances. The firefighting effort lasted over two hours, with crews working into the night to fully extinguish the flames and secure the area. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, though it is suspected to have originated from either a malfunction or misuse of grilling equipment. Authorities commended the coordinated efforts of fire crews, mall security, and emergency services, whose timely response ensured the safety of all involved.
