A 36-year-old man, in an apparent drug-induced frenzy, assaulted his own mother and nephew, leaving both with injuries before being restrained and taken to hospital. The incident occurred in Moo 19, Ban Noen Siam, Phra Phloeng Subdistrict, Khao Chakan District, Sa Kaeo Province.

 

On 9 January, local officials, led by Phra Phloeng Subdistrict Chief Somchai Thayai and the special task force "Team Moo Loom," responded to reports of a man behaving erratically in a drug-fuelled rage. The assailant, identified as Mr. Phet, allegedly failed to recognise his mother before attacking her and his nephew, choking both.

 

Village headman Mr. Surasak Pinsantia and administrative officers arrived at the scene and managed to restrain Mr. Phet, who displayed uncontrollable behaviour. Shortly after being subdued, he experienced convulsions and was rushed to Khao Chakan Hospital. Meanwhile, his mother and nephew were treated for injuries sustained during the attack.

 

Phra Phloeng Subdistrict Chief Somchai stated that “the root cause of this violent outburst was drug addiction, which severely affects the brain and mental state, leading to depression, anxiety, and erratic behaviour. Prolonged drug use deteriorates physical and mental health, impairs motor skills, and poses a threat to the individual and those around them”.

 

"This is another tragic example of the devastating impact of drug abuse," Mr. Somchai said. "We are intensifying efforts to combat drug addiction and provide treatment for users in line with the government's policies on public safety and rehabilitation."

 

Mr. Phet and his mother remain under observation and care at Khao Chakan Hospital, while authorities continue their investigation into the incident.

Good luck there.

For many Thais, drug addiction is their only reason for living.

They see no future in a country that only helps the rich.

The public Thai education system only trains kids to follow orders. Not life skills.
