Thai narcotics authorities have identified the recipient of a heroin shipment from a Thai Airways flight attendant as a woman nicknamed 'Dear,' though her nationality remains unconfirmed. The investigation suggests the drug source targeted two criminal networks in northeastern Thailand, while a black-hooded motorcycle courier remains at large.

The case centers on Ms. Meena, a 26-year-old Thai Airways flight attendant arrested by Australian authorities at Melbourne Airport on June 25 with 1 kilogram of heroin hidden in her luggage. Investigators discovered she was hired to smuggle drugs by someone operating a Facebook account under the name "Rose Rose." Authorities are now tracking the motorcycle courier who delivered the package to Ms. Meena's condominium.

According to the Narcotics Control Board secretary, police will launch search and arrest operations within 1-2 days targeting major drug networks in Bangkok. Following coordination with Australian Federal Police, Thai authorities received information that the heroin recipient was to be someone nicknamed "Dear," identified only from Ms. Meena's statement to Australian officers. However, the Australian authorities have not yet confirmed whether "Dear" is Thai or foreign national, nor have they provided contact information for this individual since Ms. Meena was arrested before completing the handover.

The investigation is tracking the "Rose Rose" Facebook account, which has since been closed. Authorities are coordinating with Meta to identify the account holder and have also engaged the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's office in Thailand. Police reviewed CCTV footage around Ms. Meena's condominium to identify the courier, his vehicle, and license plate, as well as his route from the origin point. Preliminary findings suggest the courier was a black-hooded motorcycle rider driving a sedan.

Young singer Rial Kasibandit, known as 'Son of the Nation,' works tirelessly to support his family, giving his mother a six-figure cash gift for her birthday and dreaming of taking his parents to Switzerland. He recently performed at the 13th A Fair market event at CentralWorld Bangkae, where he opened up about his demanding work schedule, caring for his family, and an inspiring moment helping an elderly woman on the roadside.

"I've been running around constantly lately, always looking for work and ways to earn money for my family and my mother," he explained. When asked about his mother's birthday gift, he revealed that he gave her cash to buy her own present, intending to give 100,000 baht, though she ended up spending more on gold jewelry. "I didn't have time to buy a gift myself, so I gave her the cash to choose something she liked. She bought more than the budget though—some gold ornaments."

He described his mother as a hardworking woman who previously worked in accounting before switching to driving a taxi. "My mother is very diligent and resilient. When she was younger and working in accounting, she'd sometimes sneak away to play speed math games with friends when she had a bit of money."

Regarding his father, Rial mentioned that his mother manages the finances in the household. "My father doesn't really keep money in his account—my mother uses it all. So I saved 100,000 baht for him in his account. One day he woke up shocked and asked where the money came from, but my mother just showed him things she'd bought and asked if they were nice. Ultimately, my mother spent his money anyway."

He expressed that his parents are proud of him for taking care of the family. "They're proud, and it's my responsibility as the eldest son to support the family and my younger siblings. I don't feel stressed about it—it's just a normal part of my duty."

When asked about his work situation, he said things have been busy but manageable, with new jobs continuing to come in. Regarding his dream of visiting Switzerland, he said: "I want to take my mother to Switzerland. It's a country I've dreamed about since childhood—it's so beautiful. I told my mother, 'Let's find time to go to Switzerland,' but she joked back with a pun, thinking I meant something else. The truth is, I really want to go to Switzerland, but the expenses are quite high. I calculated it and started sweating. My mother is frugal too, so it won't be easy to convince her. When I suggested she sell her gold to fund the trip, she said she'd rather bite her tongue!"

He explained his desire to travel with his parents: "My mother doesn't get to travel much in life. The furthest she's been is Khlong Saen Saep. I want her to travel more, and I want my father to travel too. He loves watching foreign films and has never been to Japan. When he finally went once, he was amazed by the translation feature."

"Have they expressed happiness about your birthday?" He replied warmly: "They're happy in their own way. That day I was actually filming a show, so after work I rushed home. But I would never forget my mother."

A mysterious woman who sent GPS coordinates leading rescuers to a missing driver has sparked widespread speculation after a woman suffering from depression was found alive in a remote forest in Rayong. Rescue Pluak Daeng in Rayong province received a request for assistance on Wednesday evening from relatives of a young woman who had driven her sedan away from her home in Si Racha district, Chonburi province, toward Pluak Daeng district without a clear destination. The family, growing increasingly concerned for her safety, turned to social media for help.

Relatives later reported receiving a message from an unidentified woman who claimed she had seen the missing driver heading into a secluded forest in Moo 7 of Map Yang Phon subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district. The stranger attached exact GPS coordinates pinpointing the location, prompting the family to immediately contact the Rescue Pluak Daeng team.

Rescuers arrived to find the sedan parked deep inside dense woodland in complete darkness, far from any residential area. Inside the vehicle, they found the woman sitting alone in what officials described as a situation consistent with an attempted self-harm incident. Emergency responders safely removed her from the vehicle before taking her to Pluak Daeng Hospital for medical evaluation and close observation.

The incident has since sparked intense discussion on Thai social media, with many users questioning the identity of the "mysterious woman" who provided the crucial tip and precise location. As the car was hidden deep inside a remote, unlit forest, many have been left wondering how the woman knew exactly where to find the missing driver.
