Bangladeshi Man Arrested for Selling Cannabis Vape Pods in Ramkhamhaeng
Picture of arrest. Authorities have arrested a Bangladeshi man for illegally selling cannabis-infused vape pods in Bangkok’s Ramkhamhaeng area. The suspect, Mr Habibur Rahman Biddut, aged 45, was caught in possession of 100 cannabis vape pods during a police sting operation on the night of 26 February. The arrest was made by officers from the Metropolitan Police Bureau’s Narcotics Division (Bureau 4), following intelligence that a foreign national was involved in the illegal sale of cannabis vapes in the Ramkhamhaeng and Bang Chan areas. The suspect was described as about 40-year-old man of medium build, dark complexion, and short hair, standing approximately 170cm tall. Investigators arranged a controlled purchase to confirm the suspect’s activities. The transaction was set to take place at a commercial building in the Saphan Sung district. At around 23:30, the suspect arrived at the agreed location to deliver the goods. As soon as the exchange was made, officers moved in to arrest him, seizing 100 cannabis vape pods as evidence. Upon questioning, Mr Biddut admitted that the items belonged to him, stating that he had obtained them from another foreign national and was selling them for profit. Authorities have charged the suspect with violating consumer protection laws under Section 29/9, Paragraph 2 of the Consumer Protection Act (Amendment No. 4, 2019). This law, enforced by Order No. 7/2558 of the Consumer Protection Board, explicitly bans the sale and distribution of electronic cigarettes, baraku (hookah) devices, and related substances. If convicted, Mr Biddut faces penalties under Section 56/4 and Section 37 of the Consumer Protection Act. He has been transferred to Bang Chan Police Station for further legal proceedings. The arrest comes as part of Thailand’s ongoing efforts to regulate the use and sale of cannabis-related products following the country’s move to decriminalise cannabis in 2022. While cannabis was removed from the narcotics list, the commercial sale of cannabis extracts, including those used in vape products, remains illegal without proper licensing. Authorities have intensified crackdowns on illegal cannabis sales, particularly involving foreign nationals exploiting legal loopholes. Police have warned that more operations will be conducted to curb the illegal trade of cannabis-infused products. The case against Mr Biddut is now in the hands of prosecutors, and he will face legal action under Thai law. -- 2025-02-27 -

U-Tapao Airport Scales Down Expansion Amid Rail Delays
Exactly, it amazes me all these foreigners living in the area, saying bang Saray is a lovely little fishing village, then moan when this monstrosity is shelved. But they are still happy with 100 new bars in a year and 20 condos now...little Pattaya it's called now...be grateful as this would just make the whole area worse -

Rescue Volunteer’s Leg Crushed by Lorry in Samut Prakan
Picture from responders. A 48-year-old female rescue volunteer was critically injured after a 10-wheel lorry cut across her path while turning into a petrol station on Theparak Road (Bang Na-Trat) in Samut Prakan. The crash, captured on CCTV, shows the moment the lorry struck her motorbike, dragging her under its wheels and crushing her leg. At approximately 08:45 on 27 February, police officers from Bang Phli Police Station and rescue personnel from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation were alerted to the incident at kilometre marker 20 on the inbound parallel lane of Theparak Road in Bang Chalong subdistrict. Upon arrival, officers found a white Isuzu 10-wheel lorry with Bangkok registration plates, parked at the entrance of the petrol station. Beneath the vehicle’s left side was a severely damaged black Honda Click motorbike with Saraburi registration. Nearby, Ms. Jirarat Chuttho 48, a petrol station employee and a volunteer with the Poh Teck Tung Foundation in Nonthaburi, lay on the ground in critical condition. Her left leg had been crushed beyond recognition, and she was losing a significant amount of blood. Emergency responders provided immediate first aid, using a belt as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding before rushing her to Chularat 3 International Hospital. Security footage from the petrol station captured the horrifying moment the lorry, travelling in the second lane from the left, made a sudden turn into the station, cutting across Ms. Jirarat’s path. Unable to avoid the collision, she struck the side of the vehicle and was thrown under its wheels, where she and her motorbike were dragged along the road. Her left leg was crushed from the knee down, leaving her in excruciating pain until help arrived. Mr. Banpot Sombunyin, 49, the lorry driver, told police that he had been turning into the petrol station to refuel. He claimed to have signalled his turn and insisted he had not seen the motorbike approaching. He only realised what had happened after hearing the impact and feeling the vehicle drag something underneath. Meanwhile, Mr. Kaew, a petrol station employee, described how he had been refuelling a customer’s car when he saw the crash unfold. “I saw the motorbike coming towards the petrol station entrance at the same time as the lorry. The lorry turned just as she was about to enter, causing the collision. She was dragged under the truck, and at first, the driver didn’t stop. I shouted that he was running over someone, and he immediately stopped, got out, and helped to try to pull her from under the truck before calling for emergency assistance,” he said. Police have documented the scene and taken witness statements. The lorry driver has been taken to the police station for further questioning as part of the ongoing investigation. Legal proceedings are expected to follow. Meanwhile, the Poh Teck Tung Foundation has deployed personnel to support Ms. Jirarat during her recovery. -- 2025-02-27
