Missing 74-Year-Old Alzheimer’s Patient Found Deceased in Rice Field
Picture from responders. A 74-year-old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, who had been missing for nearly a month, has been found dead in a remote rice field in Nakhon Phanom province. Police were alerted to the discovery on 21 March, when Lieutenant Surasak Singhkha, Deputy Inspector of Investigation at That Phanom Police Station, received a report of a body found in a field near Kab Phuang village, Nam Kam Subdistrict, That Phanom District. Senior officers, forensic experts, and medical personnel from Somdej Phra Yupparat That Phanom Hospital were dispatched to the scene. The body was discovered beneath a tamarind tree, severely decomposed. Authorities estimated that the man had been dead for nearly 20 days, making facial identification impossible. The deceased was found wearing dark blue jeans and a green sports shirt, with a sun hat and a pair of glasses nearby. A yellow bicycle was also located approximately 50 metres from the body. Crucially, a state welfare card found in the deceased’s shoulder bag identified him as Mr Surasak, 74, a resident of That Phanom Municipality, whose home was about 10 kilometres from the site of the discovery. Relatives later confirmed his identity. The first person to discover the body, Mr Uthai Noitulang, 52, said he had been tending to his cattle when he stumbled upon the scene. He recognised the deceased as an elderly man he had often seen cycling and walking around the area but had no idea he had gone missing. The victim’s sister-in-law, Mrs Jarunee Muentree, 65, confirmed that Mr Surasak suffered from both a stroke-related condition and Alzheimer’s disease. He frequently cycled around neighbouring villages, often losing his way. He had last been seen on 25 February, after which his disappearance was reported to That Phanom Police Station. Despite extensive searches by his relatives, no trace was found until this tragic discovery. It is believed that he became disoriented while cycling, wandered into the rice fields, and ultimately succumbed to exhaustion or illness. The family has stated that they do not suspect foul play and will proceed with traditional funeral rites. -- 2025-03-22 -

Lorry Smuggling 18 Million Meth Pills & Large Drug Haul Seized on Route to Bangkok Warehouse
Pictures courtesy of Matichon. Authorities have intercepted a lorry attempting to smuggle a massive consignment of illegal drugs, including 18.2 million methamphetamine pills, 750 kilograms of crystal meth and 300 kilograms of ketamine. The vehicle, which had been modified to conceal the narcotics, was en route to a warehouse in Bangkok when it was stopped by anti-narcotics police. On 21 March, officers from the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) had been monitoring the suspicious articulated lorry, which had passed through three security checkpoints on the Mae Sot–Tak highway. The vehicle was eventually intercepted on the Nakhon Sawan bypass at kilometre markers 6–7, heading towards the capital. Upon inspection, police discovered that the lorry’s container had been altered with steel panels to create a hidden compartment. Inside, they found 91 white sacks labelled with various markings, including the word “Orange,” which was later confirmed to contain methamphetamine pills. Other sacks marked with the letter “K” contained ketamine, while a separate stash held crystal meth. The haul was confirmed to include: • Methamphetamine pills – 18,200,000 tablets (91 sacks) • Ketamine – 300 kilograms (12 sacks, 25kg each) • Crystal meth (Ice) – 750 kilograms (30 sacks, 25kg each) Two suspects were arrested at the scene and confessed to transporting the drugs from northern Thailand to a central warehouse, where they were to be collected and distributed further. Following the seizure, the Rachamanu Task Force in Mae Sot reviewed security camera footage from three key checkpoints along the Tak–Mae Sot route: Huai Hin Fon Security Post in Mae Pa, Ban Huai Ya-u Checkpoint in Mae Lamao, and Tha Lo Checkpoint in Mueang Tak District. The footage revealed that at 08:21 on 21 March, the lorry passed through Huai Hin Fon with one of its container doors partially open, seemingly empty. The drugs had been carefully hidden at the front of the container, while the rear was left visibly vacant, creating the illusion of an empty vehicle. This deception allowed the lorry to pass through all three checkpoints undetected. Authorities have confirmed that their thorough investigation found no evidence of collusion from checkpoint officers. The two arrested suspects remain in custody as further investigations continue into the smuggling network. This latest seizure is one of the largest drug busts in Thailand this year, highlighting the ongoing challenge of narcotics trafficking through the country’s northern border regions. -- 2025-03-22 -

Drink-Driving Woman Crashes into Police Avoiding Check Point
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A woman attempting to evade a police checkpoint by driving against traffic ended up colliding with officers in a late-night incident, leaving two policemen injured and prompting legal action. The incident occurred at 00:20 on 22 March on Highway 345, near the Ratchaphruek intersection in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. Rescue volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation rushed to the scene after being alerted by Chaiyaphruek Police Station. At the scene, two injured officers were found lying on the road. Police Lance Corporal Nongsri Kotchathuean, 23, and Police Lance Corporal Chayanan Nuimak, 21, both from the Nonthaburi Provincial Investigation Unit and temporarily assigned to Chaiyaphruek Police Station, had sustained leg injuries. Their damaged Honda CBR police motorcycle lay nearby. The vehicle involved, a white Honda City with registration number from Bangkok, had damage to its rear right wheel arch. The driver, identified as Ms. Kasira, was taken into custody. A breathalyser test revealed her blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit. According to Police Lance Corporal Nongsri, officers had set up a traffic checkpoint on Highway 345, opposite the Ratchaphruek Highway Police Booth, to enforce traffic regulations and conduct alcohol tests. The white Honda City approached the checkpoint but suddenly swerved and drove against the flow of traffic to escape. Suspicious of the driver’s behaviour, he and his colleague, Officer Chayanan, pursued the vehicle on their motorcycle, signalling for it to stop. However, the driver refused to comply. The chase continued until the car abruptly braked and swerved, while attempting to turn onto an overpass leading to New Ratchaphruek Road. The sudden manoeuvre caused the pursuing motorcycle to crash into the car’s right side at speed. Following the crash, police detained Ms. Kasira and transferred her to the investigating officers, where she now faces charges of driving under the influence. Authorities continue to investigate the incident and urge motorists to comply with law enforcement to avoid endangering lives. -- 2025-03-22
