Bangkok: The Prime Minister expressed gratitude to all units for their efforts in mobilizing forces to suppress drug activities, leading to significant achievements under the "Seal Stop Safe" policy measures. In just two days, authorities seized over 3.4 million methamphetamine pills.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Jirayu Huangtrakul, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office, stated that Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra received a report on the government's drug suppression activities through the "Seal Stop Safe" initiative. This measure aims to intercept drugs and suppress crimes along the border. The government has stressed the importance of relevant agencies working diligently to achieve concrete results. Security sectors including the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) and the military have been actively participating, achieving notable successes in several areas. Over the past two days, more than 3.4 million methamphetamine pills were seized, valued at over 136 million baht.
On March 3, 2025, the Narcotics Suppression Bureau in Chaiyaphum Province apprehended Mr. Niran Thongpimol with 10,000 methamphetamine pills, worth approximately 400,000 baht, on a public road along a canal in Ban Tha Ruak, Village 6, Nong Yai To Subdistrict, Chai Badan District. The suspect and evidence were taken to Chai Badan Police Station for legal proceedings.
On March 4, 2015, the 2nd Company of the Chaiyaphum Task Force discovered a suspicious individual during a patrol. A search revealed a modified backpack containing approximately 200,000 methamphetamine pills, valued at about 8,000,000 baht. The evidence was forwarded to Na Wai Police Station for further legal action.
Additionally, on March 4, 2015, officers at the drug checkpoint of Sop Prab Police Station arrested a suspect with approximately 3,200,000 methamphetamine pills, valued at roughly 128,000,000 baht. The suspect and evidence were sent to Sop Prab Police Station for legal proceedings.
Officials also seized methamphetamine pills in Chiang Dao District, Chiang Mai Province, believed to have been smuggled from a neighboring country by a group hired to transport drugs. The transporters, linked to Mr. 'Chalo Bo' at the Thai-Myanmar border, moved the drugs into Thailand through natural channels along the border, intending to deliver them to Lahu and Lisu dealers in specified locations within Chiang Mai Province before further distribution.
The Prime Minister has called on all government agencies involved in drug prevention and suppression to expedite their operations in the first quarter of the year to align with government policy and summarize the results of their efforts.
