“Krabi” Strengthens Efforts for Safe, Drug-Free Communities

Krabi Province has reinforced its commitment to creating safe, drug-free communities through the “No Drugs, No Dealers” campaign.

          Governor Angkura Siladhewakul announced that the province is driving forward anti-drug operations with a three-pronged approach: prevention, suppression, and rehabilitation. These measures are being implemented in close collaboration with government agencies and related organizations, with progress reported directly to the Provincial Center for Drug Prevention and Suppression.

          In recognition of outstanding contributions in 2025, Krabi received national awards for excellence in anti-drug efforts. Honorees include Dr. Wirayut Sonthimuang, Acting Director of Koh Lanta Hospital (Outstanding Treatment), Pol. Capt. Narong Onthong, Commander of Border Patrol Police Company 426 (Outstanding Suppression), and the Laem Sak Community Rehabilitation Center in Ao Luek District (Outstanding Treatment Organization).

          On September 14, 2025, Governor Angkoon, together with district leaders and law enforcement, announced the arrest of two suspects with 186,150 methamphetamine pills seized. This follows earlier seizures of more than 1.3 million pills in Krabi this year. The governor praised the dedication of law enforcement officers and confirmed that all confiscated drugs are securely stored and destroyed after legal procedures.

          “Krabi will continue strong and coordinated efforts to combat narcotics, prevent crime, and ensure safety for residents and tourists,” said Governor Angkoon. “We invite the public to support these efforts by reporting any information via the 191 hotline, available 24 hours a day.”
