Crime Pattaya Authorities Launch Drug Crackdown – Two Dealers Arrested, 16 Test Positive
Picture courtesy of TMN An anti-drug operation in Pattaya has resulted in the arrest of two suspected drug dealers and 16 individuals who tested positive for illegal substances, as authorities ramp up efforts to create drug-free communities under the Ministry of Interior’s “No Drugs, No Dealers” policy. Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, with National Police Chief, ordered the crackdown, instructing Mr. Patcharapatch Sritanyanon, the District Chief of Bang Lamung, to lead the operation in collaboration with key local officials and Pattaya City Police. The coordinated effort aimed to strengthen social defences against drugs in schools, communities, villages, and families. The operation, which took place in the early hours of 22 July, focused on Soi Arunothai 2 in central Pattaya, where officers had received intelligence from informants about ongoing drug trafficking activities. Officers observed a man later identified as “Mr. Ton,” a 30-year-old suspected dealer, exiting a commercial building converted into a short-stay guesthouse. As authorities moved in to search him, he attempted to flee and discarded a package later found to contain 67 methamphetamine pills. After a short chase, Mr. Ton was apprehended and admitted to supplying drugs to users who would rent rooms in the guesthouse to consume them. Police proceeded to raid the property, knocking on doors and conducting urine drug tests on occupants. Some guests, unaware of the raid, reportedly arrived at the scene looking to buy drugs. In total, 14 people were detained for drug use. Following interrogations, Mr. Ton named an older woman, known as “Pa Thuang,” aged 59, as another supplier. Undercover officers arranged a sting operation, successfully purchasing crystal meth from her for 200 baht. Once the transaction was complete, officers moved in and arrested her inside her room. A subsequent search uncovered 38 methamphetamine pills and 2.47 grams of crystal meth, packaged for sale. In total, the operation seized: • 105 methamphetamine pills (ya ba) • 8 packets of crystal methamphetamine (total weight: 3.43 grams) • 2 ecstasy pills • 16 individuals who tested positive for drug use Authorities have vowed to continue targeting drug distribution networks in Pattaya and surrounding districts. Local leaders say the mission is not only about enforcement but about building resilient, drug-free environments through prevention and education. The suspects are being held pending further legal proceedings.

Crime Cyber Police Launch ‘Cyber C.A.T.’ Campaign to 3,000 Chiang Mai Students on Online Scams

In a proactive move to protect students from the growing threat of cybercrime, the commander of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau Region 4 (CCIB 4), Police Major General Kritach Bunrungrattanayot, launched the Cyber C.A.T. (Cyber Children Assistant Team)programme at Dara Academy in Chiang Mai on 21 July. The initiative, backed by Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiuphan, Commissioner of the CCIB, aims to build awareness and digital resilience among young people through the “Smile of a Scammer” campaign, warning students not to rush into transferring money in suspicious circumstances. Held at the Barbara McKinley Hall in Wat Ket Subdistrict, the event saw senior police officers, including Pol. Colonel Narawat Kamphilo, Pol. Colonel Suban Chokphimpha, and other officials, deliver cyber safety lectures to around 3,000 students across three sessions. The sessions were divided as follows: • 11:00–12:00 – 1,000 students from Mathayom 3 - 6 • 13:00–14:00 – 1,000 students from Prathom 4–6 • 14:30–15:30 – 1,000 students from Mathayom 1 and 2 The key topic was “Understanding and Avoiding Online Scams and Cybercrime”, with officers offering practical tips on identifying digital threats and emphasising the dangers of phishing, fake online shops, and identity theft. Students were also introduced to vital resources including the Cyber Check app, the Cyber Police Facebook page, and the national cybercrime hotline 1441. Officers encouraged students and teachers alike to follow, like, and share cyber safety information through social media to help spread awareness among their peers. The Cyber C.A.T. campaign reflects the growing emphasis on cyber education and community-based crime prevention, equipping the next generation with the tools to stay safe in an increasingly digital world.

Why is the Pizza Company not "real pizza"?
Right. Birth. Allow me to try to explain something. No two people are alike. I’m not a pizza lover, but I’ve started loving the Thai kebab from our local Thai market. After ten pieces, you get one for free. No, it’s not a punch card—it looks more like pink lottery tickets to me. It’s more than a loyalty program; it’s an invitation to become part of the community, to come back, to belong. It’s full experience management, Thai-style. Food is a vehicle for connection, for belonging, for those “full experience” moments that linger long after the meal is gone. This is very different from my popular Turkish friend, who owns a few food trucks in the south of The Netherlands and still makes his own bread. It’s kind of beautiful, isn’t it? Food travels, gets re-mixed, and ends up reflecting the place and the people making it. I like the Turkish version better because it’s delivered with small talk—a little small talk always makes my meals taste better! No matter how hard you try, you can’t deny the proven success of Pizza Company. Still, I miss those little moments that made my friend’s Turkish kebab so memorable. So here I am, trying to find and enjoy my other moments.
