Officials Seize Six Million Meth Pills in Major Drug Bust in Chiang Rai
Officials Seize Six Million Meth Pills. Picture courtesy: AEC-TV online In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, Chiang Rai authorities have seized six million methamphetamine pills and arrested two suspects in a coordinated operation along the northern border. The operation also resulted in the confiscation of a pickup truck and a large motorcycle, further disrupting the drug smuggling activities in the region. Commander Narit Thavornwong of the Drug Suppression and Prevention Command detailed the crackdown initiated on July 30, focusing on Chiang Rai and Phayao provinces. Under the supervision of Major General Niranchai Thipkanjanakul, intensified border surveillance has been implemented to combat the movement of illicit drugs. The operation homed in on Thoeng District in Chiang Rai and Phusang District in Phayao. Last night, a joint effort involving the 2nd Division of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (Chiang Rai) and the Tak Army Task Force resulted in the arrest of two individuals. The arrest occurred in the Huadoi area, Tasai subdistrict in the Mueang district of Chiang Rai province. The suspects were apprehended with a pickup truck and a large motorcycle allegedly functioning as a lead vehicle. Authorities discovered methamphetamine pills concealed in 30 sacks, each holding around 200,000 pills. Consequently, the total haul amounted to a staggering six million pills. Commander Thavornwong mentioned that the arrests were part of a sustained monitoring campaign against drug smuggling along the northern border, especially in Mae Sai District. Intelligence from the 2nd Division of the Narcotics Suppression Bureau facilitated the successful tracking and interception of the suspects as they entered Mueang District in Chiang Rai. “These actions are part of ongoing efforts, including intensified interception measures, even during the challenging rainy season,” said Thavornwong. In related developments, a violent clash erupted in Chiang Rai when a drug trafficking caravan ignored officials' commands to stop. Armed traffickers engaged in a shootout with the authorities, resulting in the deaths of two traffickers after officers retaliated. This incident underscores the heightened risks and challenges faced by law enforcement in curbing drug trafficking. -- 2024-08-01 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers
Buriram Woman Loses 530,000 Baht in Baffling Bank Transfers. Picture courtesy: The Bangkok Times A woman from Buriram is distressed after discovering 530,000 baht was mysteriously transferred from her bank account to accounts in China and Vietnam. Despite her insistence that she did not authorise the transactions, two banks are refusing to take responsibility, claiming the transactions appeared legitimate. Benjawan Supanam, a 35-year-old resident, reported to her banks that a substantial sum had vanished from her account. The two banks, Thanachart Bank and Krungthai Bank, suggested she herself made the transactions. Benjawan firmly denies this claim. Benjawan's husband, who works in South Korea, had been sending her money initially into her mother's Bangkok Bank account, which later changed to direct deposits into Benjawan’s Krungthai account, with recent deposits increasing to 80,000 baht monthly. She transferred the surplus to her Thanachart account, amassing savings of 560,000 baht for a new house. The trouble began on July 21 when Benjawan agreed to lend her aunt 200,000 baht. Upon checking her holdings the following day, she was shocked to find only 30,000 baht left instead of the 560,000 baht she had saved. According to bank records, the money had been transferred using her mobile banking app to Krungthai Bank and then forwarded in increments of 10,000 to 30,000 baht to China and Vietnam. Both banks suggested someone in Benjawan's household might have made the transfers, a claim she disputed, as her parents and young children are not tech-savvy and incapable of such actions. Suspicious that a serious fraud had occurred, the banks warned her against filing a police report, implying she could face legal repercussions for false allegations. Despite her distress, Benjawan obtained transaction records and subsequently lodged a complaint with Nong Song Hong Police Station. The police also advised her to reconsider filing the report to avoid potential legal complications. Trying to find some clarity, Benjawan received a cryptic phone call on July 22, claiming that the missing funds were due to a bank error and promising a refund by the next day. However, the money never reappeared. Benjawan remains in a state of extreme anxiety, urging the banks to re-examine the transactions or appeal for assistance from relevant authorities to resolve her financial nightmare. She is especially concerned since she typically receives transaction notifications through her banking app, making the situation even more perplexing. -- 2024-08-01 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Thailand Sends 900 Workers to Finland for Berry Picking
In a significant move, Thailand's Minister of Labour, Pipat Ratchakitprakarn, announced a new initiative to send 900 Thai workers to Finland for berry picking. In a recent video conference with Finland's Minister of Employment, Arto Satonen, both officials finalised the details of this arrangement, promising to ensure the welfare and rights of the workers. The conference primarily focused on ensuring the safety and fair treatment of the Thai berry pickers. Pipat expressed his gratitude toward Finland for its willingness to collaborate and confirmed that all employment contracts had been meticulously vetted by the Finnish government. "If Finland needs more workers, they should inform the Ministry of Labour promptly," Pipat advised. He assured that the Ministry is ready to deploy the workers as soon as all conditions and agreements are fully met. He also plans a visit to Finland to check in on the workers around September. Finnish authorities committed to a rigorous process to safeguard the workers' interests, with Satonen explaining that from next year, Finnish immigration will thoroughly scrutinise employment contracts before issuing residence visas and work permits. This change marks a departure from previous years when workers often entered on tourist visas. "The workers must have valid employment contracts, work eight hours daily, and receive wages as per the Finnish government’s standards," Satonen stated. He appreciated the Thai officials for facilitating the discussion and hoped the arrangements would allow Thai workers to commence berry picking promptly, given the high demand for labour. This collaboration aims to encourage more Thai workers to undertake such overseas employment, with the assurance of fair treatment and appropriate compensation. Pipat also requested Finland to send the necessary documents to the Thai Embassy in Helsinki for prompt verification, ensuring timely dispatch of the workers to match Finland’s berry harvesting season. Both ministers underscored the importance of this initiative in strengthening bilateral labour cooperation and improving worker welfare. Picking natural blackberries in Finland.
