In the serene neighborhood of Uthai district, Ayutthaya, an idyllic quietness was shattered by an incident that has left the town reeling. The story unfolded on a seemingly ordinary June 16, yet turned into a day that the residents won’t soon forget. It was amidst the quaint facades of local businesses that a tragic saga of a longstanding feud reached its grim conclusion outside an electrical appliance repair shop. This was no routine dispute; it was a culmination of tensions brewing over a decade, leading to an irreversible act of violence. On this fateful day, the community was pierced by the news of a 52-year-old man, identified as Theptat, lying motionless with critical wounds in front of his shop. A cacophony of sirens heralded the arrival of police, hospital staff, and anxious rescue workers. Despite their heroic attempts to revive him with CPR, Theptat’s battle ended at Rajthanee Hospital, marking…
Yesterday, June 15th, the idyllic streets of the beloved tourist haven, Chiang Khan, in the Isaan province of Loei, bore witness to an unusual drama. A foreigner with alcohol-fueled bravado turned the tranquil town into his own personal playground of chaos, hurling insults and swinging a wooden stick at locals and their vehicles. The animated scene could well be mistaken for a Hollywood blockbuster script, except this was real and happening in the picturesque lanes of Chiang Khan. The startled residents, more accustomed to dealing with enthusiastic sightseers than rowdy rampages, promptly reported the foreigner’s antics to the Chiang Khan Police Station. As motorbikes zapped past and cars idled along, the man, seemingly channeling an ancient warrior, took aim at passersby, striking them with alarming disregard. Photos of his escapades found their way onto social media, where they instantly trended, doubling as a warning beacon for travellers in the vicinity.…
Bangkok, the bustling metropolis of Thailand, is revving up its engines for a noble cause—ensuring that its frontline warriors and at-risk communities are shielded with top-notch insurance. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is propelling this initiative forward with gusto, bringing a fresh wave of hope to the city’s unsung heroes. Associate Professor Tavida Kamolvej, the dynamo serving as the Deputy Governor of Bangkok, recently sat down for a tête-à-tête with Adisorn Pipatworapong, the astute Deputy Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and Inspection at the Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC). Their mission? To steer the ship towards crafting comprehensive insurance solutions that could redefine the safety net for those in the capital facing significant occupational hazards. This pivotal meeting, unfolding in the spirited Chatuchak District, pinpointed the urgent need for robust protective measures tailored for the city’s fearless forces. Picture the tireless city law enforcement officers or ‘Thesakij,’ who bravely tread…
In an unexpected twist of fate, a Thai ice cream vendor found himself handcuffed rather than dishing out his usual frozen delights. This unusual and rather chilly incident unfolded in Prachin Buri province, where the sweet life of selling ice cream turned bitter for two vendors ensnared in a bundle of rivalry and rage. It’s a tale that’s truly stranger than fiction. On what seemed to be just another balmy Saturday evening, Phattanarin, a 47-year-old ice cream seller, was minding her own business, cruising on her motorcycle when calamity struck near Sam Thahan Intersection around 8:30 pm. Out of the blue, a gunshot rang out, breaking the typical serenity that one might expect in such a setting. The shot didn’t miss its target, landing on Phattanarin, who, although wounded, managed to maintain her composure and now rests in stable condition. As it turns out, this wasn’t an act of random…
In an unexpected twist of cultural curiosity, a foreign tourist’s encounter with a Naga statue in Phuket has become the talk of the town—or should I say, the whole of Thai social media. This latest spectacle even had local netizens buzzing, when photos and videos emerged of the man performing what many saw as a rather intimate interaction with the sacred serpent statue. The viral sensation unfolded when the Phuket Times’ Facebook page shared images and a now-infamous video earlier today, June 16, 2025. The caption read, “Kissing a Naga statue. He’s so into this! Superstitious foreigner. #ForeignersInPhuket.” In the video, the man is captured with both hands gently placed on the statue’s head, his eyes locked in a trance-like gaze. Then, with a wish presumably lingering on his lips, he places a kiss on the Naga’s head. Yet some netizens speculated that he wasn’t kissing it at all, but…
The vibrant streets of Thailand are renowned for their whirlwind of culture and commerce. Amid this vibrant backdrop, a significant shift is taking place led by the Labour Minister, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. His mission? To tackle the rampant issue of expatriates slipping into Thai-exclusive occupations, a move that may stir the very fabric of Thailand’s labor market. Over the past nine transformative months, more than 4,400 expatriates have been caught in the act, engaging in labor that’s a Thai citizens-only affair. Labour Ministry’s own Phumphat Muanchan articulates this with resolute clarity, underscoring the Minister’s uncompromising stance against this pattern of illegal employment. Despite its prevalence, the Labour Minister insists that such practices should never become normalized. As we delve into this unfolding drama, it’s evident that some employers prioritize cost-cutting over legal integrity, thus opening doors for expatriates to permeate careers earmarked exclusively for Thais. But here’s where the plot thickens:…
In a dramatic affair straight out of a soap opera, a Thai man and a determined wife joined forces to bring their cheating partners to a screeching halt in the bustling Isaan province of Surin. It all unfolded at an infamous love hotel on a sizzling Saturday, June 14, where hearts and cars collided—literally! The Mueang Surin Police Department received a rather curious dispatch that afternoon, which led them right to the scene of scandalous activity. There, in the quiet Khwao Sinarin district, an unlikely alliance had been forged. Picture this: a bronze Mazda seemingly tangoing with a black Toyota Vios right outside a hotel room, their drivers caught in a web of betrayal. Inside the tangled sedan, a woman named Tar, only 32, bore injuries that hinted at more than just physical wounds. Beside her sat Boy, her ‘sub-district chief’ lover and chief orchestrator of this smoldering affair. Surrounding…
In the vibrant heart of Thai politics, a storm is brewing, but not the kind you might expect. Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul made it abundantly clear on June 15 that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is staunchly committed to not dismantling the House of Representatives simply to score political points. Yet, Anutin, who’s known for his candor, acknowledged that dissolving the House towards the end of a term is a practice that’s often employed to turbocharge governmental efficiency. The political chessboard in Thailand, it seems, is rife with whispers and murmurs about alliances flirting with shifts within the coalition. As the Interior Minister and the driving force behind the Bhumjaithai Party, Anutin is not one to shuffle his cards too early. He believes it’s much too premature to forecast political loyalties. Should the current government stretch its wings until 2027, the stage will be set for plenty of political theater…
In the heart of Thailand’s Songkhla province, tranquility was temporarily disrupted by an unexpected wildlife encounter that left plantation workers wide-eyed and forgetful of their laborious tasks. At the residence of 65-year-old Timao, nestled amidst the quietude of Ban Samong’s rubber plantation, the grand spectacle of a king cobra engaged in a quintessential predator-prey drama unfolded. The cobra, measuring a formidable four meters, was found ensnared around its meal—a hapless rat snake—right at the base of a venerable rubber tree. The workers, understandably staggered by the confrontation with such a significant reptile, promptly halted their activities. Their immediate call to action involved summoning the stage’s two heroes: the courageous Southern Thailand Serpentology Team alongside the equally intrepid Volunteer Snake Protection Unit. Destiny, it seemed, had ringed Taweesak Boonsate, bequeathing him with the task of orchestrating the cobra’s capture. Armed with finely tuned tools and an unyielding resolve, the team arrived…
