Crime Drug Trafficking Gang Busted for Selling Crystal Meth via X Platform
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Metropolitan Police have dismantled a drug trafficking network operating through the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), arresting two suspects and seizing narcotics and assets worth over 314,000 baht. The arrests were announced by Pol Lt Gen Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, alongside senior officers involved in the investigation and narcotics suppression. The suspects were identified as Mr Khwanchai, also known as “Ching”, aged 36, and Mr Pawit, known as “Ice”, aged 31. Officers seized 636.60 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 1.39 grams of ketamine, cash, gold ornaments, a motorcycle and various electronic cards used in the drug operation. The investigation began after a confidential informant tipped off police about a user on X under the name “Daruma Bang Anas” (@drumaymd71297), who had been openly advertising drugs for sale, including methamphetamine, yaba and ketamine, with delivery services offered via parcel post or local courier apps. Police organised a sting operation in which an undercover agent contacted the seller via a LINE account named “Bang Anas” and ordered 1 gram of crystal meth for 1,699 baht, including delivery. Payment was made to an account under the name Mr Nuchakorn, and the drugs were successfully delivered via a Grab driver, hidden inside a drinking flask. Further investigation traced the package to a residence in Soi Nawamin, where officers raided the premises and arrested Mr Khwanchai as he was preparing another parcel. Crystal meth was found in the house, and CCTV footage confirmed he was the individual responsible for sending the packages. During questioning, Mr Khwanchai confessed to receiving instructions via a LINE account named “Oneice Cool” and being paid 350 baht per parcel. He admitted to recently sending 30 drug parcels from a Ship Smile branch in Nuanchan 36, all of which were seized by police. Police then apprehended Mr Pawit at a dental clinic in the Kheha Romklao area. A search of his bag revealed ketamine and documents linking him to the Twitter and LINE accounts used to coordinate drug sales and distribution. Both suspects confessed to using X and LINE to manage the drug operation, with Mr Pawit identified as the organiser and overseer of the network. They have been charged with jointly distributing Category 1 narcotics (methamphetamine) and Category 2 psychotropic substances (ketamine) with intent to sell and posing a threat to public safety. The case is now being handled by investigators at Khok Khram Police Station. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-01. -

Accident Elderly Man Killed Instantly After Electric Tricycle Collides with Big Bike in Phrae
These guys riding their disability scooters think they have super powers. Here in Pattaya some foreigners buy these dangerous, cheap, nasty, unroadworthy vehicles and think they own the bloody road. I see them regularly on soi Buakhou, holding up the traffic. Take the baht bus guys, you can walk freely, get off your bums, get some exercise, lazy sods -

Accident Elderly Man Killed Instantly After Electric Tricycle Collides with Big Bike in Phrae
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. An 82-year-old man riding an electric tricycle was killed on the spot after being struck by a high-powered motorcycle while crossing a road in Phrae province. The fatal collision occurred at around 13:00 on 31 May, near the irrigation canal bridge intersection in Moo 9, Mueang Mo Subdistrict, close to Ban Kwao, Moo 5, Kanchana Subdistrict, Mueang Phrae District. Police Lieutenant Colonel Sriprai Satchanaranpan, deputy inspector at Mueang Phrae Police Station, responded to the emergency call. Accompanied by local patrol officer Pol. Sub-Lt. Pokpong Sinmanee and rescue personnel from Phrae Rescue Foundation, they arrived at the scene to find a blue electric tricycle badly damaged beneath a roadside guardrail. Nearby, the body of Mr. Manit 82, a former village headman of Nong Bo, Moo 4, Kanchana Subdistrict, was discovered. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Approximately five metres from the tricycle, police found a damaged Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. The rider, a young man identified only as Mr. Bank from Mueang Mo, sustained minor injuries. He told police he was returning to his shop after lunch when the electric vehicle suddenly crossed into his path, leaving him no time to avoid the collision. Investigators have recorded the scene and are proceeding with the legal process. Residents who witnessed the aftermath expressed growing concern over the increasing number of elderly individuals riding electric motorcycles and tricycles, many of whom lack experience or sufficient reflexes.
