Thai police seized one million methamphetamine pills and 499kg of crystal meth from a six-wheel truck in Sukhothai province.
The truck driver abandoned the vehicle on a roadside after a police chase, having crashed through a roadblock.
The massive drug haul is believed to belong to a trafficking network led by Natthaphong, alias "Eia Guai Khao Bin," who was previously arrested.
Application for ‘Nene Royal’ trademark withdrawn
Today 18:24Key points summarised by AI
A third-party application for "NENE" and "NENE ROYAL" trademarks was officially withdrawn, resolving a high-profile dispute over the Thai pop artist's name.
Black Lotus Global LLC, managing Nene Royal's rights, has legitimate trademark applications for various categories under fast-track processing, with final approval anticipated by February 2027.
The Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) monitors international trademark filings to protect Thai creators and advises early registration to prevent unauthorized third-party claims, noting a "NENE" trademark already registered in South Korea.
