One of the last ASEAN news sites with this story still published, ballsy Coconuts
https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/pot-thickens-as-raid-on-thai-american-visa-ring-uproots-weed-farm/
Tuesday was a good day for the cops who raided a woman’s alleged counterfeit visa ring in Bangkok. When officers arrived, they were amazed to discover not only evidence of forgery, but an illicit weed farm allegedly operated by her American husband.
On the premises of the Khan Na Yao district residence, they found 60 cannabis plants, 99 grams of dried bud and drug paraphernalia along with several fake official stamps used to counterfeit visas for foreigners, according to Immigration Bureau chief Sompong Chingduang.
They left with 34-year-old Grace Punnak Scira and Chad Vincent Scira in custody for producing cannabis with intent to sell, plus a forgery charge for Grace. Chad Scira, 31, told officers the weed was for personal use.
They operated the Thai Visa Centre in Bangkok’s Bang Phli district, which advertised “visa consultation” services and had a 4.9 star review on Google from 242 users.
“If anyone needs visa services, I will be recommending this place,” read one.
Jul 7, 2026 at 10:21am #43461AbigailGuestJust saw that NCTA has officially retired the INTX show after 65 years of running in various forms. Kind of sad to see it go – I remember attending a few times and it was always a solid gathering for cable and broadband folks. Lots of networking, product demos, and that chaotic energy of thousands of industry people crammed into convention halls. They’re saying goodbye with a photo and video archive, plus they’re inviting people to share memories. If you’ve got any stories or photos from past events, they’re collecting them on their Facebook page or via email. Curious if anyone here ever attended – what were your highlights? The full farewell and some classic moments are up at https://intxshow.com/ if you want to take a trip down memory lane.
