Crime Drug Dealer Crashes Into the Sea While Fleeing Police in Rayong
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. A drug dealer in Rayong province was arrested after a police chase ended with his vehicle crashing into the sea. The suspect attempted to flee authorities when approached, but his escape was thwarted when his car crashed into the ocean following a failed manoeuvre to avoid pedestrians. At approximately 15:15 on 8 July, officers from Rayong Provincial Administrative Task Force and the Provincial Investigation Unit spotted a suspicious red sedan parked along Saeng Chan Beach in Noen Phra Subdistrict, Mueang District. Officers drove alongside the vehicle and rolled down their window to question the driver. Upon realising the men were police officers, the suspect panicked and sped away in the direction of Ban Takuan in Map Ta Phut Subdistrict. As the pursuit intensified, a group of foreign tourists crossing the road forced the driver to swerve. He lost control of the vehicle, which crashed violently into the pavement and was launched off the road onto the beach, eventually landing in the sea. Police quickly moved in and apprehended the injured driver, later identified as Mr. Kaew, a 25-year-old suspected drug trafficker long sought by authorities. A search of the car revealed 10 grams of crystal methamphetamine in a clear plastic bag and two blue plastic packets containing a total of 500 methamphetamine pills. The drugs were seized as evidence. Mr. Kaew was taken into custody and transported for further interrogation, where officers plan to expand the investigation in hopes of identifying other members of the drug distribution network and tracking down higher-level dealers.

Report Illegal Street Race Sparks Fury and Chaos
Picture courtesy of @jackyes7 TikTok A rowdy night of illegal street racing on a public highway has left drivers fuming and the internet buzzing, as outraged citizens demand immediate action. Racing fanatics descended onto a busy highway, blocking traffic to host a wild drag race that left commuters stranded. Online criticism swelled, with many questioning the absence of police and why the chaos went unchecked. The upheaval kicked off on July 8 when TikTok user @jackyes7 posted a jaw-dropping video capturing young racers taking over the highway. The footage showed the racers lining up pickup trucks on the tarmac while regular traffic ground to a halt. Expressing their exasperation, the user commented, “Is it right to close the road for racing? If you want to race, go to a track. Such behaviour causes trouble for everyone.” The video depicted the racers accelerating upon a starting signal, leaving innocent motorists in the dust, unable to proceed on their journeys. Social media erupted with questions about why the police failed to intervene and suggestions that larger vehicles, like trucks, should help clear such blockages. The menace of illegal street racing not only jeopardises safety but also adds unwarranted chaos for everyday drivers. The clamour for more robust police measures and efficient traffic management reflects public frustration over this ongoing issue. In response to these events, Police Lieutenant General Nithithorn Jintakanon, who heads the Traffic Police Image Enhancement Working Group, has highlighted the legal ramifications and dangers posed by street racing among young people. He reiterated that this reckless behaviour breaches the law, jeopardises public safety, and unsettles communities. Plans for a nationwide police crackdown are accelerating, aiming not only at the thrill-seekers themselves but also at mechanic shops modifying cars and the parents who allow such antics. This brazen act has spurred a widespread call to action, with citizens urging authorities to restore order and safety on the roads. Whether increased enforcement or community programmes, the message is clear: the public wants change, and they want it fast. Finally, in a country where getting stuck in traffic is already a daily ordeal, illegal racing only compounds the frustration. As the police gear up for a tougher stance, the focus remains on safeguarding the streets and ensuring peace for all who use them. Adapted by ASEAN Now from [source] 2025-07-10 -

Report Thailand Slashes Cannabis Shops Amid New Medical Regulations
perhaps a better solution would be to have current health clinics and hospitals where doctors are already in attendance be authorized to prescribe, this of course would negate the need for cannabis shops entirely which seems inevitable anyway -

Report Anutin: Xi Jinping Opposed Casino Plan, Now Thai Tourism Pays the Price
Annoying the Chinese always ends this way. What surprises me is that someone had enough clout to destroy the tourism based economy on a whim to get some casino opened. That is odd isn't it? Who?
