Revealing Drug Suppression Statistics: Thawee Sodsong's Genuine Efforts to Combat Narcotics

On February 6, 2026, Police General Thawee Sodsong highlighted drug issues as a critical national problem that has long devastated society. Unlike previous governments that merely scratched the surface in drug suppression, Sodsong emphasized a comprehensive approach targeting chemical precursors and production networks. He noted that past drug suppression efforts often only intercepted transportation groups and seized large quantities of drugs without addressing fundamental issues. Sodsong stressed the importance of monitoring chemical exports, especially through western border regions, and preventing their transit to neighboring countries' drug production zones. National statistics support his claims, showing public perception of drug problems improving between 2024-2025. Key findings include: a decrease in visible drug trading, fewer community drug sightings, and increased public confidence in government anti-drug strategies.
