“`html In the serene farmlands of Chiang Mai, an evening that began with the tranquil tasks of farm life ended in tragedy, as a ferocious explosion tore through a longan plantation in the Phrao district, altering lives and landscapes in its wake. A concoction intended to coax the trees into bloom became a deadly snare for those who mixed it.

The unsuspecting high rollers, a group of 26 Chinese nationals, suddenly found their game of chance had taken an entirely unexpected turn as the raid unfolded. The police, animated by the thrill of the crackdown, swept in and scooped up roughly 3.5 million baht in what just might be one of the most profitable bets the house never intended to make. This nest egg didn’t come from the slots or roulette wheels, but from the law’s long arm. But this was no dingy backroom poker game; the illegal casino was wrapped in an aura of luxury, a tantalizing…
