Thitisan “Joe Ferrari” Utthanaphon, once a revered police colonel, fell from grace in an unsettling drama that unfolded in Nakhon Sawan.

The official examination, involving both the Central Institute of Forensic Science and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, concluded the cause of death as…

The decision resounded through the corridors of Thailand’s political arena, leaving no room for ambiguity—this was a clean-cut consensus, executed with a razor-sharp precision by the party’s executive board and representative members. To truly understand the gravity of this decision, one must journey back to that fateful Thursday when the echoes of a gavel sounded through the halls of the Khon Kaen Provincial Court.

In a world where virtual rogues thought they could hide behind digital facades, Pol Lt Gen Trairong Phiewphan, the formidable head honcho of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), had a few tricks up his sleeve. His latest media briefing became an electrifying tale of intrigue and deception, as he announced the takedown of a nefarious ring through a bold move in Khon Kaen this past Saturday. The CCIB unleashed its cybernetic might on six cunning Thais who had embarked on a digital misadventure one could scarcely imagine. Their grand scheme?
