Crime Customs Seize 402 Shark Fins Worth Over 2 Million Baht Smuggled from Trinidad
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Thai Customs officials have seized a shipment containing 402 shark fins with an estimated value of over 2 million baht. The contraband, smuggled into the country from Trinidad and Tobago and falsely declared as “dry fish”, was intercepted at Suvarnabhumi Airport’s bonded warehouse on May 1st. Mr. Phanthong Loykulnanta, Tax and Revenue Development Adviser and spokesperson for the Customs Department, confirmed that the operation was a joint effort involving the Department of Fisheries, the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division (NRECD), and Thai Airways. It followed intelligence received from China’s Anti-Smuggling Bureau (ASB), under the General Administration of China Customs, warning that a suspicious consignment possibly in breach of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) was en route to Thailand. The shipment originated in Trinidad and Tobago and transited through China before arriving in Thailand. Upon inspection, officials discovered 402 shark fins weighing approximately 102 kilograms, including packaging. The importation of such items is strictly regulated due to conservation concerns and public health laws. According to Thai Customs, the importer violated multiple laws, including: • The Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act (B.E. 2562), for importing protected wildlife parts without permission. • The Animal Epidemics Act (B.E. 2558), for importing animal remains without authorisation. • The Fisheries Royal Ordinance (B.E. 2558), for lacking necessary certification for aquatic animal products. • The Customs Act (B.E. 2560), for importing restricted goods without a permit. The seized shark fins have been taken as evidence under Sections 166 and 167 of the Customs Act. The case has been handed over to investigators at Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station for legal proceedings. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to combating illegal wildlife trade and protecting endangered marine species. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-04. -

Crime Suspected ‘Cat Burglar’ Arrested After Stealing from Luxury Village
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A man suspected of stealing from homes in an upscale Bangkok residential area has been arrested after a month-long investigation. Authorities in the capital revealed that Khamkrit Naksuthi, 33, was apprehended on May 3, following two separate burglary incidents within a one-month span at the Passorn 5 village on Kallapapruek Road. The arrest followed an operation by the Bangkok Metropolitan Police’s Crime Suppression Division, who had been investigating the series of thefts after reports from victims. Naksuthi, who resides nearby in Kallapapruek 4, initially worked as a driver for a ride-sharing service. Police say he exploited his access to the village by posing as a driver entering the area to pick up passengers, allowing him to bypass security. Once inside the village, Naksuthi would inspect various homes, looking for empty properties. When he found one, he would break in and steal valuables. Police tracked down the suspect after gathering evidence, which led to an arrest warrant being issued on May 1, 2025. On May 2, officers raided Naksuthi’s home and discovered a silver Toyota Altis vehicle and various items, including clothing, that were believed to have been stolen. However, Naksuthi was not at home at the time. Later police successfully located him and arrested him with a Honda Wave motorcycle, also suspected to be linked to the crimes. Naksuthi has a prior record for similar thefts, with at least two previous offences. Authorities have urged residents of luxury homes and other neighbourhoods to be vigilant and consider installing CCTV systems to protect against similar incidents. Police are encouraging any victims of similar crimes, particularly those who may have been targeted by a suspect using the same vehicle, to come forward and identify any stolen items. The case is ongoing, with Naksuthi facing charges for nighttime burglary under the law. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-04. -

The COVID Scamdemic and its link to 'Scientism'
Of course. And no need to project oneself to the 17th or 18th century. Pasteur's germ theory of disease (and that is what it is and called, a theory) is still refutable nowadays, and refuted it has been over time, by a plethora of respected and competent individuals such as Antoine Béchamp or Rudolf Virchow, who dismissed this notion that disease comes from outside the body rather than from within. Florence Nightingale also famously stated that in her experience, smallpox was not something that was “caught” from outside but grown from within.
