Community Anthrax Scare Devastates Beef Sales in Ubon Ratchathani
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. Local beef vendors in Ubon Ratchathani province are reporting a dramatic 90% drop in sales following recent reports of an anthrax outbreak affecting cattle and buffalo meat in the region. Authorities, including Dr. Suphot Rotchan, the provincial livestock official, conducted inspections at major meat stalls along Kantharalak Road in Warin Chamrap district, a well-known hub for beef, buffalo, and pork sales. The visits aimed to ensure that vendors held valid animal carcass sale permits and were aware of the symptoms and risks associated with anthrax. Despite no official confirmation linking local meat to any contamination, panic among consumers has had a devastating effect on business. “We used to sell up to 100 kilograms of beef per day,” said Ms. Kanyapat Lomwong, a longtime meat vendor. “Now we’re lucky to sell even 10 kilograms. Sometimes I sit here for hours and don’t even sell one.” Kanyapat noted that the downturn began shortly after the Songkran festival, when news first broke about anthrax concerns in livestock. Sales, once guaranteed at a minimum of 50 kilograms per day, have plummeted to levels so low that she has had to cut staff shifts to reduce daily losses. “We’re barely making enough to cover daily costs,” she added. “People are scared and won’t come near beef or buffalo meat anymore.” Dr. Suphot urged the public to stay calm, assuring that regular veterinary inspections and safety protocols are in place. He encouraged vendors to display proper certification to reassure consumers of the meat’s safety. Meanwhile, local authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, promising to step up public education efforts to counter the spread of misinformation and help revive confidence in the province’s meat markets.

Crime Woman Arrested After Airline Ticket Scam Defrauds Over 50 Victims of 10 Million Baht
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 33-year-old woman has been arrested on Koh Samui for orchestrating a large-scale scam involving fake airline tickets and hotel bookings, with over 50 victims reporting combined losses of approximately 10 million baht. Ms Kaewta was apprehended by officers from Bo Phut Police Station outside a rented room in the Lamai area of Maret subdistrict. The arrest followed a warrant issued by the Koh Samui Provincial Court on 7 May on charges of fraud. The arrest was carried out under the directive of Pol Lt Gen Surapong Thanomchit, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 8, and executed by a team led by Pol Col Denduang Thongsrisuk, Superintendent of Bo Phut Police Station. The case came to light on 22 April when more than 50 individuals filed complaints with Bo Phut Police, alleging that Ms Kaewta had conned them by falsely offering low-priced domestic and international airline tickets as well as discounted hotel rooms. Victims included close friends, acquaintances, and travel business operators in Koh Samui, Bangkok, and Chiang Rai. One victim recounted booking six airline tickets to Shanghai through Ms Kaewta at 7,000 baht each, totalling 42,000 baht. The money was transferred directly into the suspect’s bank account. However, prior to the departure date, the victim grew suspicious after hearing of similar issues from other customers. Upon contacting the airline directly, they were informed that no such promotion existed and that the tickets were fake. As news of the scam spread across social media, dozens more victims came forward, revealing a pattern of deception by Ms Kaewta. Many believed they were purchasing legitimate “friends and family” promotional tickets, only to discover the bookings were fraudulent. National Police Chief Pol Gen Kittirat Panpetch and Pol Lt Gen Surapong have ordered the investigation to proceed swiftly, citing the seriousness of the offence under public fraud laws, which carry heavy penalties. Authorities are now working to identify any potential accomplices and determine whether additional victims exist. Police have urged anyone who believes they may have been defrauded by Ms Kaewta to come forward and provide information. The investigation remains ongoing, with officers seeking to uncover the full scope of the operation and bring all involved to justice.
