Imagine the strength it takes to don the uniform, to stand as a beacon of justice and protection. Yet, within the bright facade, a story of struggle, perseverance, and hope unfolds, epitomized by the courageous journey of Pol L/Cpl Chontaros Sukdayotin, a 25-year-old, newly recruited guardian of peace. The digital realms of Facebook became her canvas on a quiet Sunday night, where she painted a picture not of the valor and honor we so often associate with the police force, but one depicting a heart-wrenchingly honest portrayal of her trials and tribulations during her inaugural year of service. The Metropolitan Police Bureau found itself at the center of an intense scrutiny following Chontaros’s harrowing narrative. A narrative that spoke volumes of a physical and mental gauntlet, tagged with sadness, that chiseled away at her, both as an officer and individual. With the curtains pulled back by her digital outpour, Pol…

On a seemingly ordinary Monday, the corridors of this unnamed medical institution bore witness to an event that would reverberate through the hearts and minds of those involved. The central characters in our poignant narrative are a man, Sutthiphas Thitipornanant, aged 46, and his former wife, a dedicated doctor whose career had her stationed at this very hospital. The plot thickened shortly after a conversation transpired between the two ex-partners. Details emerged that this dialogue lasted a mere five minutes, during which Sutthiphas passed some documents to the doctor. It was a moment, seemingly mundane, that would lead to an unexpected and tragic turn of events. As the tale unfolds, we learn…

In a turn of events that could easily be mistaken for a plot twist in a legal drama, the Supreme Administrative Court of Thailand delivered a decision that sent ripples through the telecommunications landscape. It seemed the gavel of justice echoed a little louder on Monday when the court overturned the Central Administrative Court’s initial rejection of a lawsuit against a merger that had the potential to redraw the competitive lines in the telecom sector. This lawsuit wasn’t just a file gathering dust; it represented a pivotal moment in the ongoing saga between two telecom giants, Advanced Info Services (AIS) and TrueMove, and their concerned subscribers. The heart of this legal labyrinth was the merger between True Corporation and Total Access Communication (Dtac), which proposed the creation of a telecommunications colossus with a customer base swaggering at 55 million users. This behemoth, aptly named True Corporation, would tower over AIS’s…

Imagine a place where furry rascals rule the streets, where a regular day could involve a monkey snatching your phone straight out of your hands! Welcome to Lop Buri Province, a locale so unique that it hosts an annual feast for its resident macaques at Phra Prang Sam Yod. Picture this: the sun setting over the ancient ruins, a woman snapping photos of a cheeky monkey savoring a feast fit for a king on November 24, 2019. However, the relationship between humans and these audacious creatures isn’t always a picture-perfect harmony. It all started when the macaques of Lop Buri, once considered darlings, decided they weren’t content with just being unwitting models for tourists’ photographs and started claiming the city as their own, causing a flurry of havoc. Park officials, fed up with their once adorable inhabitants turning into mischievous marauders, decided it was time for action. They initiated an…

The protagonist of our narrative, Phiphat, steered through the choppy waters of reassurances, proclaiming that ITD, a titan in its realm, vowed that the sun would soon rise on all its laborers, washing away the shadows of unpaid wages by the forthcoming month. The saga took a twist on March 13 when ITD whispered into the ears of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, its voice laden with regret, revealing a liquidity chasm that veiled its ability to sprinkle the much-awaited financial rain on its parched employees. This drought of denarii nudged a number of souls to hang up their hats or sheathe their tools in silent protest. This revelation followed an earlier plotline wherein the company, in a…

The Pheu Thai party, a name that resonates with many due to its rollercoaster history, was abuzz with expectancy. The reason?

Here lies a unique sanctuary, a haven of sorts, known affectionately as the “Monkey Garden”. This locale is not just another tourist attraction; it’s a beacon of hope, a testament to compassion and coexistence between humans and our primate cousins. On a balmy day, the 21st of March to be precise, a group of dedicated officials from the provincial echelons of Lopburi and the Parks department conducted a thorough inspection of this sanctuary. Their mission was clear but far from simple: ensure that the Monkey Garden is a fortress of safety, comfort, and peace for its soon-to-be inhabitants – the monkeys of Lopburi City. The verdict was unanimously positive. The sanctuary was ready, but with a caveat – a brief interlude at the Wildlife…
