As the sun casts its golden glow over the serene Kolok River, a fleet of alert Thai customs boats patrols vigilantly along the vibrant border nestled between Tak Bai district in Narathiwat province, Thailand, and the buzzing warmth of Tumpat in Malaysia’s Kelantan state. The scene is picturesque, yet beneath the calm waters lies a wave of whispers that ripple across political arenas. Emerging from the folds of this bustling border discussion is the strategic contemplation of a grand wall. Yes, you heard it right—a mighty barrier along the riverbank of Malaysia’s Kelantan state matching wits with the serene Thai terrain across the river. This idea, proposed by Kelantan, is currently navigating the choppy waters of high-level Malaysian governance. The ultimate nod of approval—or perhaps disapproval—rests with Malaysia’s paramount National Security Council, led by none other than Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, as Bernama news agency kept us in the loop…
In a dramatic turn of events that reads almost like a high-stakes heist movie, police have successfully apprehended four foreigners implicated in an audacious cryptocurrency armed robbery in the tropical paradise of Phuket. Last Friday, a 23-year-old Ukrainian national, Viacheslav Leibov, fell victim to this cunning plan when a visit to a friend’s room turned into a harrowing ordeal at the hands of armed bandits. The robbers, not your average burglary crew but a multinational gang of young men, coerced Leibov into transferring cryptocurrency worth an eye-popping 8.56 million baht into their digital coffers. It was an audacious crime, carried out with chilling precision, leaving authorities scrambling to track down the culprits. Under the cover of darkness, around 1 AM on Monday, law enforcement agencies from Kamala and Phuket sprang into action. Their investigation led them to a hotel in tambon Khok Kloi of Takua Thung district, nestled within the…

Yet amid the whirlwind of information—and misinformation—the island’s tourism scene remains as vibrant as ever. The buzz kicked off when false reports surfaced about a supposed confrontation between Thai and Cambodian soldiers on Koh Kut. Fortunately, the government swiftly dismissed these claims as sheer fiction, with Jirayu Houngsub, an adviser to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, labeling the reports as nothing more than fake news designed to stir controversy. Koh Kut, affectionately referred to as the ultimate tropical escape, found itself entangled in political talk regarding the 2001 Memorandum of Understanding. This agreement with Cambodia concerning joint oil and gas resources has reignited debate…
