The bustling seaside city of Chon Buri was swept up in an unusual sting operation that would make any undercover detective proud. The scene unfolded at a seemingly innocent bag shop, merely a stone’s throw from Nawong Market. However, in a twist that could rival a detective novel, the shop was merely a facade for a different kind of merchandise—electronic cigarettes.

The caper was orchestrated by the fine folks at the Bang Lamung Police Station, with Police Colonel Navin Sinthurat at the helm, supported by Deputy Superintendent Suphawat Latpreecha and Deputy Superintendent of Investigation Kornphong Sukwisit. Their mission was part of a wider campaign to stomp out the clandestine sale of electronic cigarettes, whose wispy tendrils have been creeping into the lungs of the younger generation and alarming public health officials nationwide.

In the suspenseful climax of the operation, officers swooped down on the bag shop, discovering its dastardly secrets. Among the piles of counterfeit designer handbags, they unearthed a horde of 171 assorted electronic smoking devices—both disposable and refillable—alongside a cache of 120 keenly sought after liquid cartridges. This treasure trove of vaporous goods was certainly not listed on any customs manifest!

Charun Sriphueangchan, a 54-year-old with an unassuming demeanor but a penchant for ingenuity gone awry, was taken into custody. His alleged crimes? The stealthy sale of untaxed electronic cigarettes, sidestepping both legal restrictions and frowning customs officials. Though he might have dreamt of evading the long arm of the law, the time had come for Charun’s escapades to meet their inevitable end.

But the tale doesn’t end there! In the bustling district of Huai Khwang, yet another chapter unfolded. This time, Police Colonel Worawit Yanchinda embarked on his own thrilling adventure on February 24. Armed with search warrants and keen eyes, the directorate uncovered a sprawling operation run by the formidable duo, Adithep and Inthira.

The pair, adept at employing their cunning in the digital landscape, hosted a vibrant marketplace for e-cigarette aficionados on the LINE messaging app—ironically titled “Lay Hom Hom.” Pretending to be mere patrons of a particularly hip venue, they quietly facilitated sales to the unsuspecting public, culled straight from their stash of 402 disposable e-cigarettes, 10 devices, and an overwhelming 1,600 elixirs for smokers.

With a sleuth’s precision, the police tracked and eventually raided their condominium lair. It was here that their online empire met its untimely demise, as both Adithep and Inthira were apprehended, and their goods seized. No longer would the sweet plume of victory waft from their screens.

These operations form part of an ongoing effort to clean up Thailand’s air, one puff at a time, underscoring the relentless vigilance of law enforcement in their pursuit of public well-being. It’s more than just seizing contraband; it’s a narrative of dedication—one that ensures all of Thailand can breathe a little easier.

With all the fast-paced drama of a crime thriller, these raids remind us that in the world of illicit trade, the law’s pursuit is ever fervent. Rest assured, in Chon Buri and beyond, the health of the nation’s youth, and the air they breathe, remains a priority.
