In 2026, the Ayutthaya police faced criticism for allegedly mistaking stroke symptoms for intoxication.

Thai police are under fire for allegedly mistaking stroke symptoms for intoxication. The family of a Thai man who remains in critical condition is preparing to take legal action against the police in Ayutthaya province, claiming that officers misdiagnosed his stroke symptoms as intoxication and delayed treatment. The Thai woman reached out to the non-profit organization Saimai Survive on March 5, asking for help in seeking justice for her husband, 42. @SaimaiSurvive
