In the tranquil village of tambon Chet Samian in Ratchaburi’s Photharam district, a seemingly normal Sunday morning turned into a scene of tragedy and tears for the family of 84-year-old Bunchu Aramkong. In the heart of the village, where the smell of freshly brewed coffee often blends with the early morning air, an incident unfolded that shocked the local community and gripped the hearts of many.

In a quirky twist of marketing irony, Phuket International Airport landed itself in a whirlwind of social media scrutiny over its choice of artwork featuring a vibrant wall mural. The controversy erupted when the airport opted to showcase a photo of Singapore’s iconic heritage Peranakan houses, rather than highlighting the equally charming Sino-Portuguese architecture that graces the streets of Phuket itself.

Accompanying the image was a message that didn’t hold back, calling it a “shameful” representation of Phuket’s promotion efforts.

Ah, the world of law enforcement! Always a hub of the unexpected, the unfathomable, and the often unbelieved.

The juicy tip-off landing in their laps centers around allegations that our former chief copper might have been pocketing profits from an online gambling business. You’d think “online” would make it…
