Swedish Tourist Found Dead in Pai Forest, Likely Alcohol-Related Fall
Picture courtesy: MGR online In a startling discovery, local residents in Pai, Mae Hong Son, stumbled upon the body of a Swedish tourist missing since 21 February. Wandering through a forest near his resort, they found him dead at the base of a cliff, leading to suspicions he may have accidentally fallen while under the influence of alcohol. On 25 February, the police in Pai were informed by locals who were foraging in the Huai Nam Soam forest. The deceased was identified as Mr Karlsson, a regular drinker, last seen at the resort he was staying at on the morning of 21 February. While initial investigations suggest an accidental fall, the police have sent the body to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. Authorities are also working to contact the next of kin for further arrangements, reported MGR online. -- 2025-02-27 -

Thailand Ramps Up Vaping Crackdown Amid Rising Concerns
File photo In a decisive move to clamp down on the illegal trade of vapes, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has announced a nationwide crackdown targeting illegal vape imports and sales. The initiative, starting immediately, places a strong focus on areas surrounding schools and universities to protect young people from the vaping epidemic. This major operation sees a collaborative effort between the Royal Thai Police, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Interior, and Customs Department, all working together under a unified mandate. The PM, in her social media updates, underscored the importance of community involvement, urging citizens to report illegal vape activities. "I urge everyone to cooperate in protecting our children and youth from the illegal vape trade. Please do not hesitate to report any sale of vapes to young people to the police," she appealed. This concerted action plan includes stings on illegal vape sales as well as locating covert storage sites for these products. The PM has also emphasised the need to increase public awareness about the health risks posed by vaping — an issue that has become increasingly pressing, given the rapid proliferation of vape products among Thailand’s youth. Heading the enforcement outside Bangkok will be provincial police forces, while the Metropolitan Police Bureau will oversee efforts within the capital. National police chief Pol Gen Kittharath Punpetch shared insights from past efforts, noting that last year, the police orchestrated about 2,000 raids near educational institutions, with public tips leading to many successful busts. In a stern message aimed at ensuring integrity in the campaign, the Royal Thai Police issued a prior warning to any officers or government officials involved in the vape trade, highlighting that they would face stiffer punishments than ordinary offenders. Tasked with overseeing the crackdown's progress, Prime Minister's Office Minister Jiraporn Sinthuprai will receive a report within 15 days. According to Pol Gen Kittharath, this timeframe should suffice to see the beginning of tangible results in the crackdown efforts. The crackdown comes against the backdrop of a global debate on vaping, with many countries grappling with the balance between harm reduction for adult smokers and preventing youth uptake. In Thailand, the campaign's success will not only hinge on law enforcement but also on sustained community vigilance and education efforts, as the country grapples with this modern, pervasive challenge. With this decisive action, Thailand aims to lead by example in curbing illegal vape trade while safeguarding its youth from potential harms, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-27
