Police Region 3 launched an operation to dismantle an online e-cigarette distribution network, conducting coordinated raids in Nakhon Ratchasima province on July 10, 2569. Officers seized 648 e-cigarette units valued at over 100,000 baht. Led by Regional Commander Komkrit Sukthai and other senior officials, the operation was ordered by Deputy Police Commissioner Niran Luemsri to intensify enforcement against e-cigarette violations from July 1-15, 2569.

The raids targeted suspected storage locations used by an e-cigarette distribution network that operated through Line accounts and social media with public-facing profiles. Officers obtained search warrants from Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Court and conducted searches at two residential locations.

During one search in a warehouse in Soi Phra Phutthisai Chaiyo, Tambon Nong Ja Bok, Muang District, Nakhon Ratchasima, officers arrested a suspect managing the location. The search uncovered approximately 648 e-cigarette units of various types valued at over 100,000 baht, along with mobile phones used to solicit orders. The suspect was transferred to Phothigang Police Station for prosecution under the Customs Act B.E. 2560 and the Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522. Authorities also applied anti-money laundering measures against the suspects. The public can report e-cigarette violations to the Royal Thai Police through the Police Care app or the 24-hour hotline 1599.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchat Chomklin announced on July 10 that authorities had arrested a timber smuggling operation on the Asian Highway in Nakhon Sawan province while the convoy was en route to Bangkok. He ordered Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plants Director-General Arthapol Jarachansai to escalate investigations to dismantle the international criminal network behind the illegal timber trade. Suchat stressed maximum enforcement and prosecution without exception to recover Thailand's forest resources.

Arthapol revealed that the arrest followed intelligence from Chaichanya Sriyang, chairman of the task force investigating cross-border timber trafficking. Officials from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plants coordinated closely with the special investigation division (DSI) and the natural resources enforcement unit (DNRE). After extended surveillance, they confirmed the criminal gang illegally harvested valuable timber from protected forests and national reserves, processed it, and transported it via large trucks for resale. Once movement patterns were confirmed, authorities coordinated with highway police to set an ambush on the Asian Highway in Nakhon Sawan province, successfully intercepting the target vehicles.

Investigators arrested four suspects and seized a six-wheel truck registered in Tak province (used to haul the illegal logs) and a four-door pickup registered in Nong Khai (used for navigation and scouting checkpoints). All four suspects confessed that the timber had been illegally cut and transported from Mae Sot district in Tak province, destined for a warehouse in the central region for storage before laundering and export. The suspects and seized materials were handed over to Phu Khiao Police Station in Nakhon Sawan for processing and legal action. Authorities are conducting thorough investigations and will report progress to supervisors immediately.

Phra Chao Tan Jai, or Luang Por Tan Jai, at Wat Phra Brom Thad Ban Tak in Ban Tak District, Tak Province, is a sacred Buddha image greatly revered by devotees who visit to seek blessings. Believers hold that "whatever is requested is typically granted with remarkable speed," truly befitting the image's name.

The tradition of creating Phra Chao Tan Jai images dates back centuries and is found in many important temples throughout northern and northeastern Thailand. The defining belief is that the image must be completed within a single day—beginning after 6 PM and finished before sunset (6 PM) the following day. If construction is not completed within this timeframe, it is considered an ordinary Buddha image. Since typical Buddha image creation involves elaborate and complex procedures, completing both the sculpture and consecration ceremony within 24 hours is considered miraculous. Believers attribute this to the divine power and sacred blessings that respond to the sincere devotion and unity of the faithful, allowing all rituals to proceed without obstruction.

Another crucial aspect of creating Phra Chao Tan Jai is the insertion of a "heart of the lord," similar to a human heart, along with various auspicious objects and valuables within the Buddha image. Throughout the sculpting period, monks must chant Buddhist mantras continuously through the night until dawn. Through these elaborate steps and rituals completed in one day, the Buddha image embodies holiness and sacred power, granting blessings to supplicants with remarkable swiftness.

This ancient sacred Buddha image is deeply revered by residents of Tak city and neighboring provinces, enshrined in the old chapel of Wat Phra Brom Thad Ban Tak, a historically significant temple. The site was the original location of old Tak city, which has a long history dating back to the time of Queen Chamadevi, before the city was relocated to the current Rang district. According to inscriptions of King Ramkhamhaeng, he won a military elephant battle against the Lord of Chod on a hill near this pagoda.

Importantly, this temple also houses Buddha relics, according to a legend written in northern dialect by King Lieo Lok: The Buddha journeyed along the Ping River and arrived at Doi Mahiyangka within the Tak city area, telling Ananda that this was a pleasant and beautiful place. If the Buddha were to pass into Nirvana, his bones and hair should be brought back to this hill. After the Buddha's Parinirvana, four Arahants brought his relics, along with four more strands of hair, to Doi Mahiyangka and built a square stupa to contain them, serving as a place of worship for all humans and devas.

Later, Phra Kru Phituk Phra Brom Thad (Thong Yu) traveled to worship the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, and brought back designs to construct a covering for the original stupa, embellishing it with beautiful gold leaf. This is considered the pagoda of the year of the Rat.

Phra Chao Tan Jai is a brick and mortar Buddha image finished with gold leaf in the Mara Vijaya pose, measuring 32 inches across the chest. According to tradition, Phra Chao Tan Jai, regardless of materials used, must be completed within one night, representing the exceptional faith of local Buddhists. As the current abbot, Phra Kru Phituk Brom Thad (Pan), has noted, the creation of this image demonstrates the sincere devotion of the community who came together in white robes to participate in its construction.
