Health Thailand Unveils First Locally Made Cancer Drug
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS Thailand has proudly unveiled Imcranib 100, its first locally developed targeted cancer drug, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana. This breakthrough comes as a part of her vision to provide effective cancer treatments with fewer side effects, focusing on attacking cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Targeted therapy, a modern approach in cancer treatment, allows for more personalised plans tailored to individual patients' needs, as noted by the Chulabhorn Royal Academy (CRA). This innovation aims to address the limited access to crucial medicines for cancer patients, significantly reducing reliance on costly drug imports. In 2020, HRH Princess Chulabhorn established a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Sattahip District, Chon Buri, under her royal initiative. This plant, certified to international GMDP PIC/s standards, is Thailand’s first cancer drug manufacturing site, encompassing the entire production process from research to industrial scale. Imcranib 100, registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 20, is the culmination of these efforts. Containing 100 milligrams of Imatinib, it is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting specific cancer cells. The drug is used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute leukaemia, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), and dermal fibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). Now available at Chulabhorn Hospital, Imcranib 100 dramatically reduces treatment costs and enhances access for Thai patients. This landmark achievement strengthens Thailand's pharmaceutical capabilities, laying a foundation for future drug development and bolstering national drug security. Moreover, the Chulabhorn Research Institute has introduced Herdara, Thailand’s first targeted biological drug developed without foreign technology transfer. Registered with the FDA on the same day as Imcranib 100, Herdara represents a major step forward in achieving biopharmaceutical self-reliance. With these advancements, Thailand's capacity in pharmaceutical formulation, manufacturing, and regulation sees a significant boost, promising a sustainable improvement in public health and a brighter future for cancer treatment.

Crime Fake Cops in Pattaya Snatch B230,000 from Chinese Tourist
Picture courtesy of News1 :ive A shocking crime unfolded in Pattaya as a Chinese tourist was abducted and robbed of over 230,000 baht by men disguising themselves as police officers. The incident happened early Thursday morning at 5.30am. CCTV footage shows two men, dressed in dark clothing, forcing 52-year-old Lin Yifan into a car near a North Pattaya Road food stall. He had just finished dining with friends, who had gone their separate ways. Lin was waiting for a ride he had ordered via an app. Witnesses, at first, thought it was a routine police arrest and did not intervene. However, this was far from an ordinary encounter. The perpetrators, driving a white SUV, wore black hoodies and swiftly pushed Lin into their vehicle. Despite his efforts to resist, Lin was dragged away as the SUV accelerated from the scene. Lin later recounted the ordeal to Pattaya City Police. He described being bound and threatened with an unspecified weapon within the car. The robbers, communicating in a blend of Thai and English, searched him thoroughly, seizing 15,000 baht in cash, two iPhones, and his eyeglasses. The criminals then made a bold move by transferring an additional 150,000 baht from Lin’s Chinese banking application. After this, they abandoned him at a shooting range, located about 9 kilometres from the initial kidnapping spot. Once freed, Lin immediately sought assistance and filed a report with the authorities. The total amount lost exceeded 230,000 baht. Investigations are ongoing as law enforcement continues its search for the suspects. The brazen nature of this crime has left both tourists and locals on edge. Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant, particularly around Pattaya’s busy areas, and to report any suspicious activity to the police. The search intensifies as Pattaya City Police work tirelessly to bring the culprits to justice. The daring heist has prompted a wider call for increased security measures to protect both residents and visitors alike. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-12 -

Crabbier Than a $2 Tart’s Nickers [] What’s Got You in a Twist, Love?
I don't see so many crabby expats as I see lonely and bored old timers. We've all seen them - sitting at a bar by themselves, nursing a Leo at 11:00 am, that lost look in their eyes. I fear turning into one of them almost more than finding a rosebud in my underwear. -
