The clang of cymbals, the swell of age-old melodies, and the measured pace of rhythmic chanting returned to Yaowarat — Bangkok’s legendary Chinatown — as Chinese opera reclaimed its place on the neighborhood’s bustling streets. For three luminous nights around Wat Mangkon Station, BEM Happy Journey 2025: Yaowarat turned the area into a living stage, where past and present rubbed shoulders under lantern light. Organized by Bangkok Expressway and Metro Public Company Limited (BEM) together with the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA), the festival did more than offer entertainment. It invited people to step back into memories of a Yaowarat where glowing lanterns, crowded alleys and the commanding presence of Chinese opera were as ordinary as street food stalls and long conversations on the curb. For many elderly Thai-Chinese residents, the sound of opera was the soundtrack of life before smartphones and streaming replaced neighborhood theatres. Costumes shimmered…

In the quiet hours before dawn on December 28, 2025, work at one of Bangkok’s most important flood-control projects turned tragic when a 59-year-old construction worker lost his life after slipping and falling into a drainage tunnel excavation. The accident occurred at the Klong Prem Prachakorn drainage tunnel site in Bang Sue district — a major artery intended to link Klong Bang Bua with the Chao Phraya River and help shield parts of the city from seasonal flooding. Police Lieutenant Nitipol Changradom, Deputy Investigator at Bang Pho Police Station, said officers were alerted by an emergency call at about 4:30 a.m. Rescue volunteers, forensic teams and police rushed to the scene near Wat Soi Thong on Pracha Rat Sai 1 Road, where they found the worker’s body at the bottom of the construction area adjacent to the tunnel. The deceased was later identified as Mr. Samai, 59. He was found…
When faith and fraud collide, the headlines get a lot more interesting — and a lot more troubling. On December 27, a long-running scam that read like a criminal thriller finally reached its last chapter when officers from Thailand’s Crime Suppression Division arrested 54-year-old Manop in Moo 1, Thung Krapang Hom subdistrict, Kamphaeng Saen district, Nakhon Pathom province. The arrest — carried out under Criminal Court warrant No. 1472/2019 dated September 24, 2019 — uncovers how a criminal ring exploited religious trust for cold, calculated theft. The disguise that emptied bank accounts According to police reports, the scheme was audacious in its simplicity. A gang allegedly hired Manop to literally become a monk on paper. He shaved his head and eyebrows, slipped into monk’s robes and allowed himself to be photographed as “proof” for fake monk identification documents. Those counterfeit IDs were then used to open replacement bank accounts for…

The scene at Bangkok’s bus terminals on Friday felt a bit like a city-wide game of musical chairs — only with luggage, flip-flops, and a lot more rooster-shaped pillows. Tens of thousands of people poured through the gates as Thailand’s New Year exodus got into full swing, turning platforms into buzzing hubs of farewells, last-minute snack runs, and the occasional sleepy nod on a 30-seat coach. Transport authorities were ready for the rush. Atthawit Rakchamroon, managing director of Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS), warned that December 27 would remain a high-volume travel day as passengers continued to leave Bangkok ahead of New Year 2026. Officials estimated between 100,000 and 120,000 travelers would depart the capital for provincial getaways — beaches, family gatherings, and quiet upcountry retreats — and they planned accordingly. How did they plan? By throwing more buses at the problem. Roughly 6,000 scheduled bus trips — a mix of…
What started as a few seconds of shaky phone footage has snowballed into a full-blown online storm. A video that went viral across X and Instagram appears to show heavy machinery partially demolishing a statue of Lord Vishnu near the Thai–Cambodian border — and within hours hashtags like “Boycott Thailand” and “Boycott Pattaya” were trending among Indian social media users. The statue, according to Indian media reports citing local sources, was erected in 2014 in Cambodia’s An Ses area, roughly 100 meters from the Thai border. The clip’s spread ignited furious reactions from many who interpreted the images as an affront to Hindu religious sentiment. Calls circulated urging Indian tourists to cancel bookings, boycott Thai businesses and apply economic pressure until answers were provided. From viral clip to hashtag rebellion Social media’s outrage moved fast. Within hours the simple act of sharing a two-minute clip escalated into national indignation for…
