Crime Eight Arrested for Selling Dangerous ‘Zombie Vapes’ Laced with Anaesthetic
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. Police have arrested eight individuals believed to be part of a criminal syndicate distributing illegal electronic cigarettes known as “Zombie Vapes” or “Pod K,” which contain a powerful anaesthetic. Assets worth over 16 million baht have been seized in connection with the case. Under the direction of Police Lieutenant General Jiraphop Phuridech, officers from the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) led by Police Major General Pattanachak Bupphasuwan and senior investigators carried out the arrests. The suspects include Thai nationals and one Singaporean citizen: Mr. Sakdachot (23), Mr. Jirawat (19), Ms. Athicha (20), Mr. Natthaphon (33), Ms. Benja (38), Mr. Phanuwat (37), Mr. Lon (37, Singaporean), and Ms. Siwaphon (34). The group faces charges under Thai law prohibiting the sale, production, and distribution of electronic cigarettes and related substances. One individual, identified as Neo Ming, a foreign national, was also found to be residing in the country illegally. During the raid, police confiscated 33 vape cartridges containing the illicit “Pod K” blend, along with luxury items, gold jewellery, land title deeds, a vehicle, and large sums of cash. The total value of the seized property is estimated at 15,779,836 baht. According to authorities, these e-cigarettes were being marketed to nightlife tourists and were found to contain etomidate, a short-acting anaesthetic used medically for minor surgeries. When inhaled, etomidate can severely depress the central nervous system, leading to respiratory distress, unconsciousness, or even death in high doses. “This substance can cause cardiac failure or a complete loss of consciousness, making the user appear like a walking zombie,” said Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattanachak. “The danger posed by this drug-laced vape is severe, and we acted swiftly to track down all those involved.” Four of the suspects, Mr. Sakdachot, Mr. Jirawat, Ms. Athicha, and Mr. Natthaphon, have confessed. Mr. Natthaphon admitted to acting as a middleman, sourcing orders and arranging delivery through Mr. Lon and Ms. Benja, with sales conducted via bank transfers. Each cartridge sold for around 1,300–1,400 baht, with Mr. Natthaphon receiving a 300–400 baht commission per unit. Mr. Lon reportedly handled the logistics, sending the products directly to customers by post. The remaining suspects, Mr. Phanuwat, Mr. Neo Ming, and Ms. Siwaphon, have denied the allegations and are currently in police custody pending further investigation. The case highlights the growing threat of illicit vaping products, especially those containing dangerous or controlled substances. Authorities have pledged to continue cracking down on such networks.

Is it worth it at 78 ? - Implant replacement teeth
My teeth were rotting. They'd decay down to the root. I still had some left, but they were in the wrong position. You need pairs that are facing each other to chew on food. Was told that it would be better to extract the remaining teeth and get fitted for full dentures. Went to MSU and got it done for absolutely free. Only had to pay for the x-rays, and maybe could have been reimbursed for their cost but didn't think about it. In the meantime, they found a cyst and I had to get that removed. What is amazing is that they took the time to make an upper denture that would stick to the roof of my mouth by suction. I have never had to use any poligrip. If anyone is considering dentures vs implants, keep in mind that with dentures, your lower jaw will shrink due to the loss of calcium. That will make your lips protrude like those toothless grannies you see on TV. Ie, it will change how your lower face looks. If I had known that, I would've tried implants. -

Nothing to do with Trump. Give up your Trump obsession. Dutton was an awful choice as leader. -

Operation Dumpling Drop: Where Have All the Hot Tigresses Gone???
Nothing says deep cultural understanding like parading Thai friends around for a live roast of old foreigners, truly the Anthony Bourdain of condescension. Then it’s cocktails at the Marriott while looking down on everyone else, the purest form of cultural immersion. And bold move lecturing on ‘quality’ women while rating foreigners like cattle at a meat market, real classy stuff, mate.
