Crime Subdistrict Chief Caught Taking Meth on International Day Against Drug Abuse
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. In a startling development coinciding with International Day Against Drug Abuse, a local subdistrict chief (Nai Yok Or Bor Tor) in Naklang District, Nong Bua Lamphu Province, has been arrested along with five others for methamphetamine use. The arrests were part of a province-wide anti-narcotics operation, “Phitak Lum Phu,” launched by Nong Bua Lamphu Governor Surasak Aksornkul between 24–26 June 2025. The crackdown has already yielded nearly 20,000 meth pills, 12 motorbikes, 3 cars, a farm vehicle and a cache of firearms, with a total value exceeding 2 million baht. On 25 June, during a routine sweep, one drug suspect challenged authorities, questioning why prominent local officials allegedly involved in drug use had not been apprehended. This prompted an investigation into the local administrative organisation (Or Bor Tor). Authorities summoned the subdistrict chief, who was not publicly named, to meet the district chief of Naklang, Mr Rungreung Thimabutr. During the meeting, the official was asked to undergo a urine test, which tested positive for meth. Upon further questioning, the subdistrict chief admitted to drug use and was taken back to his home for a search. At the remote property, police found four other individuals, the chief’s son, daughter-in-law and two sugarcane workers, all of whom confessed to meth use and tested positive. A search of the bedroom uncovered two unlicensed firearms: a homemade handgun loaded with five .38-calibre rounds and a rifle. The weapons were seized. A separate search at the chief’s office did not reveal any illegal items. Authorities then acted on further intelligence and arrested a local subdistrict council member, who also admitted to drug use and tested positive. All six individuals were taken to Naklang District Office for further questioning. While the group agreed to enter a rehabilitation programme, the subdistrict chief faces additional charges under The Firearms Act. He will be formally charged and brought before court. Disciplinary proceedings have also been initiated and he has been suspended from duty pending the outcome. District Chief Rungreung stated, “There will be zero tolerance for any government officials involved in drug activities. We will act decisively and without exception.” When asked by reporters how many pills he had taken that day, the subdistrict chief admitted to consuming two meth tablets in the morning but could not recall the exact time. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to eradicating drug use among public servants and urged those involved in narcotics to seek help or face serious consequences.

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
The US State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the first known financial contribution by the US government to the controversial group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza. The decision comes amid concerns over violence near aid distribution sites and the foundation's links to for-profit US firms. Washington has long backed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) diplomatically, but this is the first known US government financial contribution to the organization, which uses private for-profit US military and logistics firms to transport aid into the Palestinian enclave for distribution at so-called secure sites.

Crime 33 Thais Arrested for Illegally Crossing Border from Cambodia Amid Fears over Poipet Unrest
Picture courtesy of Amarin Thai security forces arrested 33 Thai nationals in the early hours of 26 June for illegally crossing the border from Cambodia via a natural passage in Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province. The group was reportedly fleeing from rising tensions in the border city of Poipet. The joint operation, led by Burapha Task Force units including the Aranyaprathet Special Operations Group, the 1204th Company of the 12th Ranger Regiment, local village leaders and the headman of Phan Suek subdistrict, successfully intercepted the group at Ban Phan Suek, a known natural crossing point. The 33 individuals were caught trekking through the darkness, attempting to re-enter Thailand undetected. According to preliminary investigations, all detainees had previously been working in Poipet, but growing fears over the deteriorating security situation in Cambodia’s border region prompted them to urgently flee. They reportedly paid local guides 4,000 baht each to lead them on a 20-kilometre detour through Malai District in Banteay Meanchey Province, a remote area often used as an unofficial crossing point. However, their plan failed when border patrol rangers, already monitoring suspicious movements, detected the group’s presence. The rangers maintained visual contact and coordinated with local community leaders to safely intercept and detain all members of the group. The 33 individuals were later transferred to Khlong Nam Sai Police Station for legal processing and further investigation. This incident comes amid heightened cross-border concerns, with Thai authorities closely monitoring developments in Cambodia. While regular commercial flights between Bangkok and Phnom Penh reportedly continue as normal, land border movements remain under scrutiny due to escalating regional instability.
