Community Irrigation Department Races to Clear 20,000 Tonnes of Water Hyacinth from Chao Phraya River
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. The Royal Irrigation Department is urgently clearing more than 20,000 tonnes of water hyacinth and aquatic weeds from upstream of the Chao Phraya Dam in anticipation of an incoming surge of floodwater. The operation aims to ensure unobstructed water flow and prevent downstream flooding as water levels in the Chao Phraya basin continue to rise. Officials report that water levels at key monitoring stations are increasing steadily. At Station C.2 in Nakhon Sawan, the current flow rate is 1,170 cubic metres per second. Upstream of the Chao Phraya Dam, the water level stands at 15.46 metres above mean sea level, while downstream it measures 10.06 metres, still 6.28 metres below critical bank levels. The dam is currently releasing water at a rate of 755 cubic metres per second in a “stair-step” manner, gradually increasing outflow to mitigate flood risk. Mr Thalengkit Suwannachat, Director of the Chao Phraya Irrigation and Maintenance Project, stated that this is the second major influx of water this month. He emphasised that rainfall in the northern catchment areas, which feed the Sirikit and Bhumibol dams, as well as precipitation downstream of the Chao Phraya Dam, must be closely monitored to guide effective water management. The mass clearing of water hyacinth is part of the National Water Resources Committee’s nine-point strategy to improve water flow efficiency and reduce the threat of flooding in the Chao Phraya River basin. Local authorities have mobilised manpower and machinery to remove the dense floating vegetation that clogs waterways and impedes drainage during periods of high flow. The Irrigation Department continues to work with regional agencies to ensure readiness for further rainfall and rising river levels, urging residents in low-lying areas to remain vigilant.

Crime Pattaya Authorities Launch Drug Crackdown – Two Dealers Arrested, 16 Test Positive
Picture courtesy of TMN An anti-drug operation in Pattaya has resulted in the arrest of two suspected drug dealers and 16 individuals who tested positive for illegal substances, as authorities ramp up efforts to create drug-free communities under the Ministry of Interior’s “No Drugs, No Dealers” policy. Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, with National Police Chief, ordered the crackdown, instructing Mr. Patcharapatch Sritanyanon, the District Chief of Bang Lamung, to lead the operation in collaboration with key local officials and Pattaya City Police. The coordinated effort aimed to strengthen social defences against drugs in schools, communities, villages, and families. The operation, which took place in the early hours of 22 July, focused on Soi Arunothai 2 in central Pattaya, where officers had received intelligence from informants about ongoing drug trafficking activities. Officers observed a man later identified as “Mr. Ton,” a 30-year-old suspected dealer, exiting a commercial building converted into a short-stay guesthouse. As authorities moved in to search him, he attempted to flee and discarded a package later found to contain 67 methamphetamine pills. After a short chase, Mr. Ton was apprehended and admitted to supplying drugs to users who would rent rooms in the guesthouse to consume them. Police proceeded to raid the property, knocking on doors and conducting urine drug tests on occupants. Some guests, unaware of the raid, reportedly arrived at the scene looking to buy drugs. In total, 14 people were detained for drug use. Following interrogations, Mr. Ton named an older woman, known as “Pa Thuang,” aged 59, as another supplier. Undercover officers arranged a sting operation, successfully purchasing crystal meth from her for 200 baht. Once the transaction was complete, officers moved in and arrested her inside her room. A subsequent search uncovered 38 methamphetamine pills and 2.47 grams of crystal meth, packaged for sale. In total, the operation seized: • 105 methamphetamine pills (ya ba) • 8 packets of crystal methamphetamine (total weight: 3.43 grams) • 2 ecstasy pills • 16 individuals who tested positive for drug use Authorities have vowed to continue targeting drug distribution networks in Pattaya and surrounding districts. Local leaders say the mission is not only about enforcement but about building resilient, drug-free environments through prevention and education. The suspects are being held pending further legal proceedings.
