Police and health officials seized 90 cannabis-infused jellies worth 50,000 baht from a shophouse in Soi Rong Mueang 5, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, on 1 November 2026.[1][2] The products had no Thai-language labels or Thai FDA food registration numbers.[1][2]
The raid followed reports that a mother, father and two-year-old son in Khlung district, Chanthaburi, fell seriously ill after eating similar sweets.[1][2] The parents reportedly became rigid, suffered severe convulsions and lost consciousness, requiring ventilators, while the toddler was drowsy after apparently consuming a smaller amount; all three were taken to hospital.[1][2]
Officers acting on a Pathum Wan District Court search warrant entered building 188/25, where a cannabis and cannabis-flower shop operated on the second floor.[1][2] A 26-year-old employee, Saowalak Namwongsa, who led officers through the search, allegedly said she sold the jellies at 80 baht each to the general public and foreign tourists and that the shop had sold them for about a year.[1][2] The packaging resembled ordinary children’s jelly sweets and the products had been promoted on social media.[1][2]
The seized jellies were sent to the Department of Medical Sciences for testing to confirm whether they match what the family ate, with further charges possible if THC or CBD levels exceed legal limits.[1][2] Saowalak faces allegations of selling a controlled herb without permission and of producing and selling incorrectly labelled food, while police are seeking the shop owner and others involved.[1][2]
