In an anguishing twist of fate, the serene landscape of Thailand’s Rayong province became the backdrop for a grim tale of loss and mystery. On March 14th, a shocking discovery was made as 29-year-old Prasit Yeesunhom reported the unsettling find of a deceased woman in a roadside forest.

In an extraordinary turn of events, former Democrat MP Tankhun Jitt-itsara has raised the alarm once again over the controversial operations of the self-proclaimed “mind-connection” cult. This time, the spotlight is on an absurdly peculiar figure — a nine-year-old child purporting to be none other than the offspring of Lord Buddha himself.

His mission? To clamp down on this cult’s misadventures and bring some digital sanity back into the mix.

Whispered by none other than the International Labour Organization (ILO), the notion of bumping up the retirement age for pension eligibility from a sprightly 55 to a more seasoned 65 has been floating around since 2017.

Marasri Jairangsee, the SSO’s very own guardian of pension plans, shed light on the tentative change, revealing its status as merely a study and far from a locked-in decision. Of course, such a sweeping change would require navigating a labyrinth of legal entanglements. Lucky for you, dear readers, no legal amendments have been cast in stone just yet. In the spirit of…
