In a story that’s tangled with mystery, emotions, and an urgent drive to protect the innocent, the Pen Nueng Foundation has stepped into the spotlight with a heavy heart but a resolute determination.

In a dramatic turn of events that stirred the bustling city of Bangkok, a 34-year-old man named Pirapong found himself in handcuffs within the confines of a modern condominium in the Bang Sue district. This arrest marked the culmination of an intensive investigation set off by scandalous allegations of indecent acts, highlighted by a rather audacious display of intrusion and privacy breach.

In a dramatic twist of political events, the Parliament of Thailand witnessed a rather unconventional plea for expulsion. Krit Chevathamanon, a notable transman MP from Chon Buri, made headlines as he publicly urged the leader of the People’s Party (PP) to oust him, stating that he had faced insufficient support and unsolicited sexism within the party.

Ah, the sunny beaches of Pattaya! Known for its vibrant nightlife, scrumptious street food, and breathtaking ocean views, it’s a magnet for tourists from all corners of the globe. But last Saturday, the spotlight shifted away from the usual picturesque scenes to a rather unexpected spectacle aboard a Koh Larn Relax tour boat. The drama unfolded during what was supposed to be a delightful snorkeling trip to Koh Sak. A video showing an irate crew member launching a tirade against a boatload of foreign tourists surfaced online, sparking a flurry of attention. The video, posted on Talad Lang Upgrade’s Facebook page, carried an ominous caption: “You have damaged the reputation of Thai tourism.” Yikes, talk about making waves! In the video, the crew member, identified as 55-year-old Kanchana (or Jae Nong, to her friends), could be heard dishing out some less-than-flattering names, calling the tourists “animals” in a moment of…
When the scorching sun heralds the dry season’s arrival in Renu Nakhon, an astonishing transformation takes place in the picturesque village of Ban Nong Tae, nestled in the Nakhon Phanom province. Here, innovative farmers swap their straw hats for the proverbial hats of entrepreneurs, converting their once bountiful rice paddies into thriving frog farms. With a ribbit and a leap, these enterprising villagers dive into a venture that brings in a staggering 10-20 million baht annually, forging a delightful success story that hops by the seasons. The intriguing tale of amphibian agriculture begins each year as the last grains of rice are harvested. The farmers, guided by experience and ambition, transform their flat, sun-baked fields into shallow ponds, a mere 30 centimeters deep. Into these ponds, they release approximately 300 pairs of veteran frogs, setting the stage for a night of passionate frog romance. It’s a spectacle that rivals any…
Amidst the vibrant backdrop of northeastern Thailand’s sky, a homemade rocket prepared for its moment of flight met with an explosive fate upon its launch platform in Yasothon province. This unexpected burst of fireworks erupted on Saturday, May 10, casting a cloud of alarm over the annual Bun Bang Fai festival—a beloved tradition where creativity and pyrotechnics collide to petition Phaya Thaen, the rain deity, for generous monsoon showers. As per tradition, dozens of elaborately crafted rockets converge at this festival, competing to slice through the sky, achieving both altitude and awe. However, this eventful Saturday’s aim for the heavens was thwarted as one particularly ambitious rocket ignited prematurely, sending festival-goers scampering for safety. The incident was captured in vivid detail on TikTok by Anutida Nok. Her clip, posted on May 13, underscored the tension of the moment. Just as the countdown reached its climax and the fuse neared the…
In an unusual turn of events, an elaborate scheme has been unraveled by the Provincial Police Region 6. On Wednesday, Pol Lt Col Kittisak Durongwibun announced the arrest of three individuals involved in the theft of essential signal transmission equipment in Phitsanulok and its neighboring provinces. The thefts led to significant signal disruptions, resulting in an estimated damage of about 20 million baht. The arrest took place in Pathum Thani’s Lam Luk Ka district, following the trail of a suspicious pickup truck caught on surveillance cameras in Phitsanulok.

As officers descended upon the residence, they discovered a surprising haul of stolen goods. Among the seized…
In the bustling heart of Bangkok, May 2025 saw a fierce drama unfold as a fire erupted in a private warehouse and kitchen cabinet factory nestled in the Soi Chalong Krung 55 of the Lat Krabang District. Concerns mounted among locals as plumes of smoke danced ominously toward the sky. Yet, rising to the occasion with promptness fit for an action movie, the valiant team from Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited heeded a call to action. This rescue mission was coordinated at the behest of the Ministry of Industry, channeling their ingenuity through the Department of Industrial Works (DIW) to aid in quelling the fiery upheaval. When the alarm bells rang, Bangchak’s tactical response was nothing short of exceptional. They swiftly deployed a gargantuan firefighting foam truck that might as well have been plucked from a Transformers film—we’re talking about a beastly 15,000-litre capacity. But what is machinery without skilled…
In a city often characterized by its vibrant nightlife and scenic beaches, the recent discovery of a foreign beggar gang exploiting vulnerable people in Pattaya has cast an unwelcome shadow. In a daring and well-executed operation on May 13, immigration police swooped in on the gang, a group of Cambodians using children and feigned disabilities to tug on the heartstrings—and open the wallets—of unwitting tourists. This bust not only unveiled the underbelly of Pattaya’s bustling tourist sector but also highlighted the challenges authorities face in maintaining the city’s reputation. At the heart of this operation were undercover officers seamlessly blending in with the throngs of holidaymakers. Their target: a group of Cambodians employing a well-worn but still effective tactic—sympathy. Some suspects were seen juggling two or three children, others expertly faked disabilities, all to manipulate the compassionate nature of tourists eager to help. It was a harsh revelation that these…
