Crime Police Arrest Man for Selling E-Cigarette Laced with Ketamine
Picture courtesy of SiamNews Bangkok police have arrested a 22-year-old man, known by the alias Ram Bangna, for allegedly selling e-cigarette pods containing ketamine to young people in the Rangsit area. On 16 August, Pol Col Pansa Amornapitak, superintendent of Yannawa Police Station, directed an operation led by Pol Lt Col Supakit Kongchuen, head of the investigation division, to execute an arrest warrant issued by the Bangkok South Criminal Court. The warrant, numbered 259/2568 and dated 29 July, charged the suspect, identified only as Mr P., with defamation and the illegal distribution of a Category 2 narcotic (ketamine). The arrest took place at a condominium in Khlong Luang district, Pathum Thani province. During the search, officers discovered a large haul of illicit e-cigarette pods, branded “Pod K”, which contained ketamine. The narcotics were concealed in 1,122 gold-coloured packages. Police also seized a black Toyota Fortuner with Bangkok licence plates and an iPhone 12 Pro Max used by the suspect. Investigators had tracked Mr P. to the condominium after learning he had fled there while wanted for defamation charges. Surveillance revealed he had been operating as a dealer, selling the ketamine-laced pods to university students in the Rangsit area. During questioning, the suspect admitted the narcotics were his and confessed to distributing them to teenagers and students. He has been remanded into custody and, along with the seized evidence, handed over to Khlong Luang Police Station for further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-08-18 -

Crime Newborn Baby Found Burned in Charcoal Kiln in Khon Kaen
Pictures courtesy of Workpoint. Police are investigating a shocking case after a newborn baby was discovered burned in a charcoal kiln in a sugarcane field in Ban Hin Hao, Non Khong Subdistrict, Ban Fang District, Khon Kaen Province. The infant, whose gender and identity remain unknown, was found by local residents who noticed a strange burning smell while working in the fields. Authorities discovered the baby inside the kiln, still attached to the umbilical cord. Police Lieutenant Colonel Natthawat Kaewhan, Deputy Investigating Officer at Ban Fang Police Station, confirmed that initial examination revealed the child was a newborn, though the lower body was badly burned, preventing identification of sex. The kiln is situated on private farmland in Village 4, Non Khong Subdistrict. Ban Fang Police Chief, Pol. Col. Koraphop Netthaisong, stated that medical staff from Ban Fang Hospital and forensic investigators from Forensic Science Centre 4 in Khon Kaen were called to the scene to conduct a thorough examination. The body has since been sent to Srinagarind Hospital’s Department of Forensic Medicine to determine whether the baby had died prior to being burned. Police are currently investigating all potential leads, including identifying women in the area who may have recently given birth. Local workers and witnesses are being questioned as part of the ongoing investigation, with authorities vowing to bring those responsible to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from Workpoint 2025-08-18 -

Report Thais Lose Faith in Political Parties as Hope Fades, Poll Shows
Poll Finds Thais Losing Faith in Political Parties, MPs Picture courtesy of Thai PBS A recent poll conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration has shocked Thailand by revealing that over 40% of respondents have completely lost faith in political parties. Meanwhile, half of those surveyed have vowed not to re-elect their current constituency MPs. The poll, conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration, shines a stark light on the Thai public's disenchantment with their political leaders. When asked about political parties represented in parliament, from both the government and opposition, a staggering 41.9% confessed to feeling utterly despondent. A further 34% described themselves as rather hopeless, while just 20.9% managed to cling to some semblance of optimism, and a mere 2.98% felt very hopeful. Intriguingly, the party-list voting intentions also reveal a shift. Faced with the prospect of voting for the same party in a proportional representation system as they did in the 2023 election, 40% outright rejected the idea. In contrast, 29% were willing to support the same party again, while 26.9% remained undecided. A small fraction, 3%, admitted they either abstained from voting or did not cast a ballot in the last election. This sweeping survey was carried out on August 13th and 14th, capturing the views of 1,310 respondents across the country. The focus was to gauge public sentiment on the performance of MPs and the efficacy of political parties in addressing national issues. When it comes to satisfaction with constituency MPs, the results are equally dispiriting. An overwhelming 32% declared themselves not very satisfied, while 28% were not satisfied at all. A modest 27% expressed fair satisfaction, and only 11.6% claimed to be very satisfied. The response to the question of whether citizens would support their current MPs in an election today is perhaps the most telling. A significant 50.69% said they would not, with just 23.7% affirming their support for a re-election and 25.5% remaining on the fence. These numbers depict a nation struggling with a crisis of confidence in its political class. As faith dwindles, the implications for upcoming elections and the future political landscape remain uncertain. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS World 2025-08-18
