The governor of Krabi province and the provincial police chief led a joint operation to search and arrest operators of an Israeli-owned cannabis farm accused of using Thai nationals as nominee shareholders to evade Thai law.
The raid took place on 21 January 2026 at 09:30 at Cannazon Co Ltd in Moo 4, Sai Thai subdistrict, Mueang Krabi district.
Krabi Governor Angkul Silathevakul was joined by Maj Gen Sukkasem Nakvilai, commander of Krabi Provincial Police, Mom Luang Phuthong Thongyai, deputy director-general of the Department of Business Development, and senior provincial officials. About 50 officers from multiple agencies took part, including provincial and local police, immigration police, the Central Investigation Bureau, tourist police, provincial administrative officials, public health authorities and labour officials.
Acting on search warrants issued by the Krabi Provincial Court, officers searched the premises and detained the company's owner, identified as Mose Yamin, an Israeli national. Authorities allege the business allowed Thai nationals to hold shares on behalf of a foreigner, enabling a foreign national to operate a restricted business in violation of Thai law, including Section 8(3) of the Foreign Business Act.
