Amid the tropical warmth of Thailand’s Deep South, the presence of a resilient former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, stirred a narrative of stoic defiance. Thaksin, a man whose tenure and turbulent exile have been marked by relentless political drama, returned to the southern border provinces, undeterred by the volley of recent violent incidents. The hustle and bustle of local life momentarily paused as whispers of bombings echoed through Yala province and Narathiwat Airport. Yet, for Thaksin, this was merely the sound of a once formidable but now familiar adversary. On a day like any other, seemingly uneventful at first glance, Thaksin landed near Narathiwat Airport despite a bomb attack that could have rewritten his plans. It was not just another airport stopover—it was a testament to his undying resolve. “Fear?” he had chuckled casually. “Fear left my dictionary after the fourth assassination attempt.” The audacity in his voice was infectious,…

In a bizarre twist of fate, a story worthy of a “believe-it-or-not” headline unfolded in the serene town of Mueang 3, nestled within Thailand’s Kanchanaburi province. It all started with an alarming disruption on the peaceful morning of February 23, when residents of the Nong Lan subdistrict awakened to news that seemed too strange to be true.

As the ink dries on their strategic maps, the airline is all set to soar across the vibrant landscapes of India, the cultural tapestry of Japan, the bustling cityscapes of Taiwan, and the efficient thoroughfares of Singapore.
