Yesterday, the typically serene shores of Bang Saen Beach in the Saensuk district of Chon Buri were transformed into a scene of sheer exhilaration. Word spread like wildfire across the sandy expanses of Wonnapha Beach, that three majestic Bryde’s whales – including a doting mother and her two playful calves – had graced the coastal waters with their presence. Local fishermen, always the keen observers of the sea’s secrets, captured this extraordinary occurrence on mobile cameras, forever immortalizing the sight of these gentle giants frolicking with abandon while seagulls swooped dramatically overhead, convinced they were in the midst of a piscatorial buffet. The man behind these captivating visuals is none other than Eaksak Soemsri, a 48-year-old fisherman and seafood aficionado. His excitement was palpable as he took to his Facebook account, sharing both videos and snapshots attributed to the keen lens aboard a fishing vessel operated by Sute Chaiyabut. “We…

In the quaint rural district of Pho Chai, an ordinary day at Ban Kham Pha-Ung School was transformed into an extraordinary adventure. On the afternoon of July 3, a thrilling spectacle unfolded in this serene corner of Roi Et, etched indelibly into the memories of all who witnessed it. An imposing Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) helicopter burst forth from the swirling tempest above, making an unexpected descent right onto the school’s field, leaving the students wide-eyed with wonder. The aircraft had embarked from Wing 2 in Lopburi, charting a course for Udon Thani when nature’s fury intervened. Furious rains and howling winds barred its intended path, prompting the pilot to execute an audacious emergency landing. With precision that belied the harsh conditions, the helicopter was coaxed down to the school’s emerald pitch, instantly becoming the focal point of the astonished schoolchildren and their teachers. As it descended, the air…

In a bold and determined announcement, Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai has set forth an audacious plan to tackle narcotics, crime syndicates, and those elusive mafia figures haunting the nation. With a pointed finger at the drug crisis as a perilous threat to Thailand’s national security, Phumtham—who’s wearing the prime minister’s hat temporarily—spilled his guts to senior ministry officials and provincial governors on his very first day at the illustrious Ministry of Interior. It was quite the entrance! The Ministry of Interior, as Phumtham ardently professed, is the backbone of Thailand’s governance. From the farthest flung provinces to the beau monde of Bangkok, this ministry is the critical cog in the policy-improvement machine, dedicated to uprooting issues right from the grassroots. And see here, folks, we’re not only talking about under-the-table deals or political maneuverings; it’s the real nuts and bolts of government’s down-to-earth tasks. His stirring words didn’t end there.…

In a dramatic twist on the international stage, Thailand’s efforts to forge a landmark tax deal with the United States have hit a surprising snag. Despite high-stakes negotiations and whispered promises of mutual prosperity, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira returned from his diplomatic odyssey with more questions than answers. The hotly anticipated agreement—often talked about in hushed tones of fiscal magic—remains elusive as of July 4, 2025. While sipping a contemplative cup of ginseng tea during a brief layover in South Korea, Pichai reflected on the pulsating conversations that pulsed through the marbled halls of Washington—discussions that, while rich in potential, concluded without the hoped-for finale. “Although our talks have yet to yield a concrete agreement, my team is committed to persisting tirelessly in our pursuit,” he affirmed. “We are on a quest to devise transparent terms that illuminate mutual advantages for both nations.” Thailand’s intrepid negotiators,…

In a saga that has captivated Thailand’s public and political spheres alike, the legal drama surrounding former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra continues to unravel with a careful blend of intrigue, legal scrutiny, and public fascination. Thaksin, who once loomed large over Thailand’s political landscape, now finds himself under the microscope for the alleged preferential treatment he received at the Police General Hospital. His legal representative remains steadfast, assuring everyone that the former premier is unperturbed by the ongoing court evaluations. According to Thaksin’s team, the judiciary is diligently observing proper legal processes devoid of any political meddling. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions recently entered its second day of witness testimonies, meticulously examining whether Thaksin’s extended stay at the Police General Hospital from August 2023 to February 2024 adhered to regulations set by the Department of Corrections. This highly publicized case has drawn the attention of…

In the early hours of July 4, as the sun lazily stretched over the bustling Thai streets, an unexpected flurry of activity disrupted the usual rhythm of life in Chon Buri. With a determined resolve akin to a high-stakes heist movie, the local authorities descended upon unsuspecting street vendors and beauty salons. Their mission? To root out the clandestine network of foreign workers undercutting traditional Thai roles—a cinematic scene if there ever was one! Leading the operation was Phuwakorn Toshingkhon of the Chon Buri Employment Office, flanked by the formidable Chalermphon Niamsakul from the Provincial Labour Office. The winged partners in law enforcement joined forces with the Internal Security Operations Command, sweeping across the districts of Bang Lamung and Sattahip with the kind of precision usually reserved for military operations. The townsfolk watched, wide-eyed, as officials flitted from one humble establishment to the next—kebab stalls met with scrutiny, cheese sellers…

In the swirling tides of Thailand’s political landscape, a name appears time and time again—Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Once at the helm of the country’s governance, Paetongtarn finds herself in the pulpit of influence again, this time as the steward of culture. Recently enfolded in an intricate web of diplomatic whispers, she forcefully dispels any notion of Thailand imminently returning a trove of 20 ancient artifacts to neighboring Cambodia. With clear determination, Paetongtarn reiterates that while a principle agreement exists, the wheels of such a delicate transfer are far from being set in motion, owing to fiscal constraints and thorny cross-border dynamics. A seasoned voice of reason amid turbulent times, she firmly declares, “This matter is far from the kind that demands urgency, especially under current circumstances.” The air of controversy sees no rest as Paetongtarn navigates allegations like a seasoned sailor tackling treacherous waters. Only a day prior, July 4, she…
