My view today.
You actually got me curious now. There are dozens of things in 7-Eleven labeled as "burgers". I tend to not even look at any of them because in Thailand, as soon as they stick anything in between two pieces of dough that resembles bread, they call it a burger. So the question here is, was there any actual beef involved with that burger? Or was it some other form of plastic mystery meat in the middle? -

Crime Man Working for Online Gambling Site in Poipet Caught Illegally Climbing Border Roof to Flee
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 21-year-old Thai national who had been working for an online gambling operation in Poipet, Cambodia, was arrested in the early hours of 5 July after attempting to illegally re-enter Thailand by climbing over a market roof near the border. The arrest was made at approximately 02:00, by the Burapha Task Force (Special Task Force Aranyaprathet), particularly Rangers from the 1201st Company under the 12th Ranger Task Force. The man, identified as Mr. Rattanakorn was apprehended while scaling the roof of “Talad Langka Fah” (Blue Roof Market) near Rong Kluea Market in Ban Khlong Luek, Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province. Initial suspicions by the rangers pointed to illegal cross-border activity linked to online gambling. Further investigation confirmed that Mr. Rattanakorn had been employed by an online gambling website based in Poipet. However, the case took on added complexity when it was revealed that he was also evading mandatory military conscription in Thailand. Mr. Rattanakorn admitted that his Border Pass had expired in January 2025, and he had also failed to report for military draft selection in April. Fearing arrest on both counts, overstaying and draft evasion, he said he was too afraid to use an official border crossing. Instead, he paid a Cambodian guide to help him sneak back into Thailand through a “natural route.” The guide directed him to climb over rooftops, an extremely dangerous tactic intended to bypass immigration checks. His escape attempt, however, ended in failure when he was spotted and detained by the ranger unit before making it out of the border zone. Authorities have transferred Mr. Rattanakorn to Klong Luek Police Station, where he faces charges of illegal border crossing, with further charges related to draft evasion and overstaying his pass likely to follow.

Crime Police Intercept Pickup Truck Smuggling Over 11,000 E-Cigarettes in Rama II Highway Chase
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. In a dramatic operation on 4 July, police successfully intercepted a covered pickup truck loaded with a massive consignment of illegal e-cigarettes along Rama II Road. The seizure, carried out near kilometre marker 80 in the Praek Nam Daeng area of Amphawa District, revealed more than 11,500 e-cigarette devices worth over 4.6 million baht on the black market. The suspects, identified as Mr. Netipong 27, of Suphan Buri Province and Ms. Wannipa 27, of Sakon Nakhon Province, were arrested at the scene. The pair had been transporting the contraband in a Toyota Vigo truck, licence plate from Suphan Buri. The operation was led by Police Colonel Akkarawat Seethanaboonubon, commander of Border Patrol Police Division 14, in cooperation with senior officers from Yi San Police Station and Highway Police Subdivision 1. The bust follows government directives urging an intensified crackdown on the illegal trade of e-cigarettes, a growing underground market in Thailand. According to Colonel Akkarawat, intelligence reports had indicated that a large shipment of e-cigarettes was being transported from southern Thailand to central regions. Police surveillance teams coordinated along potential routes, eventually narrowing in on the suspect vehicle on Rama II Road. Police Lieutenant Colonel Waritthorn Choonak, commander of Border Patrol Company 144, said officers had been tracking the smuggling operation closely and had strong indications that the contraband would be moved via Rama II. After tailing the vehicle, officers made their move and successfully stopped and searched the truck, uncovering 11,520 e-cigarette devices neatly packed in the cargo compartment. During questioning, Mr. Netipong admitted to being a freelance delivery driver. He confessed to having transported e-cigarettes on two prior occasions and this latest run earned him 27,000 baht, but also ended in arrest. He is now cooperating with police as investigators attempt to trace the broader smuggling network. Both suspects remain in custody, and police have vowed to expand the investigation, targeting those higher up in the supply chain. The seizure underscores ongoing efforts to curb the illegal import and distribution of electronic nicotine products, which remain banned under the law. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-06 -

Where can patients smoke their meds?
Fairly simple solution, a couple well placed air purifiers place next to his smoking chair, with a rug or towel, on floor at door, so nothing seeps into the hallway. Simple solutions for minor issues. Or, simply buy eatables, as suggested earlier.
