what sort of Dr to see?
Yes I am very familiar with the Bumrungrad international hospital as I was assigned to the embassy several times and some of my people used to go there for treatment as they usually accept any of the US govt associated insurances. They are a true international hospital with all facilities but I will check my list of hospitals and see if any are in Nonthaburi area and will send that to you shortly as I get it all together -

Cyber Police Raid Home of Local Councillor ‘Sor Golf’ in Major Online Gambling Crackdown
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Cybercrime police have launched a sweeping operation targeting a major online gambling network, with the home of a high-profile local councillor, known as “Sor Golf,” among four key locations raided. Authorities uncovered a vast web of financial transactions linked to illegal online betting, with total funds exceeding 200 million baht annually. At 15:00 on 22 May, senior officers from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) held a press conference in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, detailing the outcome of “Operation Wingame98.” The online gambling website in question offered games such as slots, baccarat, dragon tiger, blackjack, roulette, lottery, and sports betting, all hosted and transacted via Thai bank accounts using automated systems and so-called “mule” accounts to conceal financial flows. The investigation culminated in the issuance of arrest and search warrants, leading to raids at four separate sites. The most high-profile of these was the luxury home of Mr. Siradanai Plaiduang, also known locally as Sor Golf, a 28-year-old councillor in Songkhla province. Police seized a large cache of luxury goods including 21 branded handbags, designer watches and belts, as well as ammunition and documents deemed critical to the investigation. Additional searches were carried out at: • A fighting bull training camp believed to be owned by the councillor. • Two private residences in the Hat Yai area used by suspected accomplices. Four suspects operating mule accounts for the network were arrested during the raids. They were identified as: 1. Pichaya, 27 2. Satayu, 52 3. Kitipong, 20 4. Kawin, 32 According to Police Lieutenant General Trirong Piupan, Commissioner of the CCIB, the operation was initiated under national directives to eliminate online gambling operations exploiting citizens and youth. He confirmed there is solid evidence linking Sor Golf to the gambling ring. “We are confident we have enough material to pursue serious charges against the councillor,” he said, adding that further investigation has revealed attempts to transfer illicit assets to individuals close to the suspect. Financial analysis showed that multiple bank accounts used for laundering the proceeds of online gambling were directly connected to Mr. Siradanai. Police also noted that he had previously faced charges for assaulting border patrol officers, underscoring his history of legal entanglements. The four suspects now face charges of: • Organising and promoting gambling through electronic media without permission. • Conspiring to commit money laundering offences. • Engaging in acts of money laundering as a result of the conspiracy. Authorities vowed to pursue every individual involved in the network, seize all illicit assets, and investigate possible links to further criminal enterprises. “We will not stop until the entire network is dismantled and their wealth confiscated,” said Lt. Gen. Trirong. Investigations are ongoing, and more arrests are expected in the coming days.
