Sure A Not

Both Dr. Boon Vanasin’s daughter and wife give themselves to the authorities.

According to reports, the wife and daughter of Boon Vanasin, the founder of Thonburi Healthcare Group ( THG), who is still at large in China, have reportedly turned themselves in to the police as a result of warrants issued on suspicion of public fraud.

Jaruwan Vanasin, 79, and her child, Nalin, 51, declined to speak to the media on Saturday. They denied all of the claims, and their attorney informed investigators that they had surrendered.

The couple claimed they had no knowledge of the alleged fraudulent plans, that they had not signed any checks, and that their names had been fake.

The 86-year-old Dr. Boon, along with his wife and daughter, were granted bail by the Metropolitan Police Bureau ( MPB) on Friday. Permits were also issued for six other suspects, who were all arrested on Friday.

All of the suspects are accused of defrauding investors of money through Dr. Boon’s clinical ventures.

Dr Boon is also alleged to have forged his former daughter-in-law’s name to secure a product, causing problems estimated at 7.5 billion baht. Dr. Boon is facing charges of common scams, phony saving, money laundering, and issuing false checks, according to the criminal court.

The various defendants have been charged in a similar way. 527 complaints against Dr. Boon were filed at the Huai Khwang officers station between December 2013 and October 2014 by patients who were unable to cash checks he had issued.

Dr Boon used his status as a powerful medical executive to encourage five medical-related projects, including a cancer centre, a wellness centre in Thailand, hospitals in Laos and Vietnam, and a skilled intelligence project, to bring investments.

Over 16 billion baht was invested overall in the five initiatives, with projections of 700 million ringgit in 2023 and 1 billion baht for this year. Although first payments were made, following bills were missed, leading to problems with buyers trying to cash their payments, said a source familiar with the research.

Dr. Boon left Thailand on September 29 after making a trip from Bangkok to Hong Kong before continuing to China, according to Pol Maj Gen Noppasin Poonsawat, assistant director of the MPB.

Dr. Boon allegedly lied to stock market regulators by releasing misleading information that caused an increase in THG’s share value in 2022. The preceding year, he had announced that THG had bought 20 million doses of Covid-19 vaccinations from Pfizer for distribution to Thailand. No shipments ever occured.

On Friday, authorities arrested two people linked to Dr Boon’s system at a law firm in Bang Bua Thong city of Nonthaburi. Additionally, they were accused of borrowing money without authorization. Authorities identified them merely as 38-year-old Siriwimol and Jidapha, 53. Seized from them was a Mercedes-Benz.

Plai Sak Surin may be returned to Sri Lanka, according to the dog welfare organization.

Plai Sak Surin‘s horns may be cut off, according to an animal welfare organization, and it may be returned to Sri Lanka in his capacity as a goodwill adviser.

After the Thai Elephant Conservation Center ( TECC ) in Lampang issued a statement suggesting Plai Sak Surin’s tusks may need to be shortened because of their impact on his body structure, Roger Lohanan, the Thai Animal Guardians Association’s secretary-general, raised the issue.

Since returning to Thailand after spending 22 times in Sri Lanka, the 31-year-old bull rhinoceros has spent the past 16 months at the TECC doctor. At the age of seven, he was first given to Sri Lanka as a goodwill ambassador in 2001, and in 2023 he was flown up to Thailand for health care.

The animal team suggested Plai Sak Surin’s long horns be removed because they have affected his brain structure, according to the TECC, and this has led to the removal of the problem. Nevertheless, the decision will involve discussion with all appropriate events.

Mr Lohanan questioned who the “relevant events” are and whether this includes the Sri Lankan government. He noted that it is still questionable whether Sri Lanka has relinquished Plai Sak Surin for good or to have him briefly relocated to Thailand for treatment.

His extremely long, curved tusks, which are almost touching the ground, have added pounds to his head, making him struggle and had him having issues, according to Mr. Lohanan.

” This is similar to people developing business illness”.

Long tusks, according to him, are extremely sought-after by both legal and illegal ivory traders because they adversely affect the elephant’s health and even put his life in danger.

He questions the removal of Plai Sak Surin’s horns and whether the rhinoceros will eventually be returned to Sri Lanka, despite the fact that he approves of the plan.

Mr. Lohanan demanded that the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation take international laws into consideration and give lucid solutions to the consumer.

According to TECC producer Taweepoke Angkawanish, Plai Sak Surin has suffered from both internal and external health problems, including a cataract-like situation in his right eye, a twisted before left foot, and impaired liver function. Treatments have steadily improved his condition.

However, the elephant’s excessively long tusks are affecting his body structure, particularly the muscles around his head and neck. A plan to shorten his tusks ‘ length is being discussed in discussions.

Due to the discussion surrounding Cambodia MoU, there are spotlights on less popular islands in the news.

The local Tourism Authority of Thailand ( TAT ) office, which has launched a new campaign to promote the island’s attractions during the peak season from now until April, claims that TRAT- Koh Kut has many interesting beaches to offer that are frequently overlooked.

The seas, beaches, sky, forests, and oceans are at their most stunning during the daytime, according to Korakot Opas, chairman of the Invoice company in the eastern state of Trat. Daily ferry service runs between the mainland and Koh Kut.

Due to the controversy surrounding a memorandum of understanding ( MoU) that Cambodia and Cambodia signed in 2001 to resolve competing maritime claims, the island has been in daily news. The Thai government has argued that there is no debate over area sovereignty.

Koh Kut is the northernmost area in Thai lakes and ranks as one of the country’s most picturesque territories, said Mr Korakot.

Most shores on the island are considered some of Thailand’s most lovely, including Khlong Rahan, Khlong Yai Ki, Khlong Mat, Ta Phao, and Khlong Chao beaches, said Mr Korakot.

Khlong Rahan, for example, features a tiny bay providing harmony and peace, while remaining readily available for visitors, he said.

Khlong Yai Ki, however, provides both river and lake perspectives, and offers serenity due to strict rules that prohibit properties near the beach, he said.

The dust is real white and good, making a drop in the water at this beach amazing, he added.

Visitors can visit Khlong Mat shore, which is close to Koh Kut’s oldest fishing group, to learn about the culture and produce fresh seafood there.

Aside from these better-known shores, there are lesser-known or even “unseen” shores waiting to be explored, including Ngam Kho, Sai Daeng, Ao Bang Bao, Ta Khian, Khlong Hin, and Ao Phrao.

Ao Phrao is the farthest shore on the island, said Mr Korakot.

” Every beach]on this island ] offers a magnificent sunset view”, he added.

The area has only around 1, 600 hotel rooms, as regional tourism businesses focus on promoting tourism and low-carbon hospitality, said Phlapphueng Pheomsap, chairman of the Koh Kut tourism team.

In 2023, Koh Kut welcomed a full of 291, 214 guests, who generated 2.87 billion ringgit in tourism money. From January to September this time, the area received 232, 114 travellers and recorded 2.82 billion ringgit in tourism income.

Authorities are trying to identify and identify the 41 carcasses found at the Phichit page.

In a police investigation to determine whether 41 corpses used in meditation at a Buddhist abbey in Phichit state were officially obtained.

According to Pol Maj Gen Tadej Klomkliang, commander of Phichit municipal police, authorities are looking into the records of the cadavers at the Pa Nakhon Chaibovorn convent in Pho Thale district and are looking at the records to see if any crime occurred.

Despite the monastery’s say that the body had been donated by honest people, he stressed the need to establish whether the deceased had died naturally.

The monastery’s claims about cognitive training and ceremonial practices, which may fight with Buddhist rules, have also been asked by the National Office of Buddhism.

Kom Pattarakulprasert, chairman of the Phichit Office of Buddhism, visited the abbey, run by Phra Ajarn Saifon Phandito, to observe the meditation techniques. He claimed that the practice of contemplation on dying body was novel and unexpected.

According to Mr. Kom,” I inquired about carcasses and was told that there were none.”

” But when journalists discovered the 41 body, I was taken aback by the conflicting reports. I’ll talk with the native clergy leader about whether this behavior is appropriate.

Buddha statues and other artifacts can be found at Phichit’s Pa Nakhon Chaibovorn convent.
