A French national and his Thai wife have been arrested following a police raid on a villa in Kamala, Phuket, where authorities uncovered an extensive drug operation involving the sale and production of illicit substances, unlicensed pharmaceuticals, and illegal medical practices. Acting on intelligence that the suspects were running a drug distribution network catering to foreign clients, officers from Kamala Police Station, the Phuket Provincial Investigation Division, and Region 8 Police, under the direction of senior commanders including Pol Lt Gen Surapong Thanomchit and Pol Maj Gen Sinlert Sukhum, carried out the operation. At the villa in Kathu District, police discovered large quantities of illegal drugs and drug-making paraphernalia. Items seized included: • 73.22 grams of cocaine • 512 ecstasy pills • 173.42 grams of ketamine • Five three-litre containers of unidentified liquid, suspected to be drug precursors • Unlicensed pharmaceutical products • Drug production equipment, including pill presses and chemical tools The primary suspects were identified as Mr Garniron, a 42-year-old French national, and Ms Panthiwa a 34-year-old Thai national. A third suspect, 23-year-old Ms Sutthida was also arrested at the scene. All three are facing serious charges. Mr Garniron and Ms Panthiwa are accused of jointly possessing and trafficking Class 2 narcotics (cocaine) with intent to distribute, unlawfully possessing Class 1 drugs (ecstasy), and producing medicines without proper authorisation, a violation of Thailand’s Drug Act B.E. 2510. Ms Sutthida has been charged with possession of both Class 1 and Class 2 narcotics. Authorities also seized assets worth several million baht believed to have been acquired through drug trafficking activities. Following the raid, investigations led police to a beauty clinic in Patong, also linked to the suspects. The clinic was found to be operating without proper medical licences. Three Thai nationals were arrested and charged with: 1. Practising medicine without a licence 2. Operating a healthcare facility without the legally required number of licensed professionals 3. Permitting unauthorised individuals to perform medical procedures The suspects, along with the seized evidence, are now in police custody as officers continue to expand their investigation. Police have vowed to dismantle the entire network and hold all individuals involved, regardless of nationality, accountable under the law. -- 2025-04-13 -

Authorities Declare 66 Buildings Unsafe Following Earthquake Damage
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning has ordered the suspension of use for 66 buildings across Thailand after structural damage was deemed severe in the aftermath of the recent earthquake, which struck over two weeks ago. Officials confirmed that while the vast majority of inspected buildings remain safe, dozens were found to be in critical condition. In a comprehensive damage assessment operation carried out between 28 March and 11 April, a total of 8,884 buildings were inspected nationwide. Of these, 8,369 were declared structurally sound and safe to use. A further 449 buildings were found to have sustained moderate damage but remained usable. However, 66 buildings were labelled as red-level risk, meaning their structural integrity had been severely compromised, and their use was immediately prohibited. The inspections were conducted by a coordinated team from the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, the Council of Engineers, the Engineering Institute of Thailand, and certified private sector engineers. Public buildings, including schools, hospitals, and government offices, were prioritised under the first phase of inspection. In Bangkok alone, 649 public buildings were examined: • 589 buildings received a green classification (safe for use) • 58 buildings were given a yellow status (moderate damage, still usable) • 2 buildings were classified red and ordered closed Private sector structures, such as high-rise buildings, condominiums, hotels, and large commercial venues — formed the second inspection group. These buildings are required by law to undergo annual structural checks. Following an order issued on 31 March by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) notified approximately 11,000 property owners to conduct urgent assessments. As of 11 April, 3,518 buildings had submitted inspection reports. Residential properties, shopfront buildings, and townhouses across Bangkok made up the third group. The BMA received 19,270 inspection requests from the public via the Traffy Fondue system. Authorities reported that 18,367 cases had been addressed and closed. In provinces outside the capital, local offices of the Department of Public Works, in collaboration with municipal engineers and volunteers, inspected 8,235 buildings: • 7,780 were classified green • 391 were yellow • 64 were marked red and immediately closed The authorities have urged all property owners and tenants to take building safety seriously. Building owners failing to comply with mandatory inspections may face legal consequences under Thailand’s Building Control Act. -- 2025-04-13 -
