In the sun-drenched province of Pathum Thani, nestled in the heart of Thailand, a grim tale of desperation and audacity unfolded on an otherwise ordinary Wednesday. June 18 became unforgettable for the staff and patients at the Princess Mother National Institute for Drug Abuse Treatment (PMNIDAT), particularly for a 63-year-old gentleman named Sanong. His day turned into a thriller reminiscent of an action movie, as he faced a perilous predicament instigated by two audacious young men. The incident, which echoed across local media platforms and captured the fascination of Facebook’s bustling community, involved a dramatic confrontation with two Thai men whose intentions swiftly slipped from dubious to outright unlawful. The duo’s target was alprazolam, a tightly regulated prescription medication often sought by those battling anxiety and panic disorders. When the pair arrived at the clinic, they found themselves at an impasse. The dispensary employee, following protocol, requested a doctor’s prescription—a…

In a dramatic turn of events, the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) of Thailand swooped in on a clandestine loan operation, catching unsuspecting participants in a web of deceit. Conducting simultaneous raids in the bustling city of Bangkok and the neighboring Samut Prakan province, the ECD set its sights on a shadowy company peddling illegal loans with a peculiar twist—it accepted iCloud accounts as collateral and would lock unsuspecting borrowers’ devices if they dared to miss a payment. The company had cultivated a customer base that topped 5,000, offering loans at eye-watering interest rates of 30% per month, creating a veritable financial sinkhole for its clientele. Orchestrating this operation was none other than Police Major General Thasanphumi Charuprachya, the big gun at ECD, backed by a talented team including Police Colonel Mekpisan Sripirom. The thrilling takedown saw officers storming into offices nestled in Bangkok’s Nuan Chan subdistrict within Bueng Kum…

Beaches, parks and pubs across the country will be packed as revellers look to lap up the sunshine and make the most of the warm weather.

Temperatures in York are expected to reach as high as 29C, with Gloucester also set to register the same heat today.

Some areas on the west and east coast will be slightly cooler at 24C, but people will still be able to soak up the rays.

Spectators at sporting events such as Royal Ascot and the Queens Club tennis tournament will be able to top up their tans in the sun.

By this afternoon, a number of areas in Britain are expected to have passed the heatwave criteria, according to the Met Office.

An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days.

Thresholds can vary from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK.

Met Office weather forecaster Dan Stroud said: “We’re expecting the hot and dry conditions to continue, it does turn a little bit hazier in the west during the course of Friday.

“We’re still expecting temperatures to reach the low 30s, 31C, 32C fairly widely, maybe seeing 33C.”

The warm weather will spread to the south and east of the country on Saturday, with 32C predicted in London and 31C in Cambridge.

Mr Stroud confirmed that Sunday will slightly cooler, but another warm day across the country – with temperatures likely to hit the late to mid 20s.

Over the last few days, Brits have flocked to the seaside and rivers so they can take a quick dip to cool off.

Others have been spotted sunbathing in parks instead and making the most of their lunch breaks.

It comes as an amber heat health alert has been issued for the whole of England from 12pm on Thursday until 9am on Monday.

Officials have warned that soaring June temperatures could mean a “likely rise in deaths in those 65 and over”.

The alert – a step up from the yellow heat health alert issued earlier this week – warned that “significant impacts are likely” across health and social care services because of high temperatures.

One Royal Ascot spectator was taken to hospital yesterday, with 42 others given medical attention on site for heat-related illness during the prestigious horse racing event.

The UK’s June temperature record stands at 35.6C, which was set in Southampton in 1976.

Current forecasts suggest the record is unlikely to be broken this time – but it will come close.

A warning against wildfires has also been issued by the Fire Brigade, as firefighters have responded to more than 500 across England and Wales this year so far.

As of yesterday, 564 wildfire incidents have been responded to by English and Welsh fire and rescue services, which is a 717% increase on the same period in 2024.
