In the bustling heart of Bangkok, a story unfolds that seems ripped straight from the pages of a nail-biting crime thriller. A Singaporean man is at the center of a police search after his Thai girlfriend was tragically found dead at a high-rise condominium. Let’s dive into the mysterious events that have everyone talking. It all began on a seemingly normal Wednesday evening when two close friends of Praopilat Paladon, a vivacious 30-year-old from Khon Kaen province, approached the police at Thong Lor station.

Parents, frantic with concern, reached out to its founder, Ekkapop Luengprasert, fearing that the investigation into alleged sexual abuse by a school janitor might fester into inertia despite its initial uproar. The case is as chilling as it is critical, involving heinous acts against vulnerable schoolgirls, including a mere kindergartner—a riveting story that simply cannot fade into the ether.

On a typically serene morning along the banks of the Mekong River, one might expect to hear the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft calls of river birds. But on this particular Wednesday, the northeastern province of Nakhon Phanom was in a chokehold, cocooned in a blanket of thick smog that hugged the waterway like an unwelcome guest. The scene set the stage for a tale of Mother Nature appalled by humankind’s chronic missteps. The culprit of this atmospheric oppression? None other than the infamous ultrafine particulate matter—PM2.5. With levels reaching hazardous heights, the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gistda) reported that the northern and northeastern reaches of Thailand, along with sections of the Central Plains and the East, had inhaled more dust than is healthy within 24 hours leading up to Thursday morning. As clocks ticked to 8am Thursday, an alarming 19 provinces were marked with red,…

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant city of Bangkok, the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn transformed into a bustling hub of innovation and dialogue from March 17 to 21, 2025.

Ah, Bangkok! A city that’s a feast for the senses where history and modern life collide in a blur of tuk-tuks and tantalizing street food. But recently, it seems something else is fogging up the vibrant cityscape. The air quality here on this particular Thursday morning has everyone raising an eyebrow—or perhaps a facemask—as each of the sprawling metropolis’s 50 districts finds itself encased in an ominous “orange” haze. This isn’t payaya salad gone wrong; it’s the Air Quality Information Centre of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration sending out the alarm bells. Why the sudden orange alert, you ask? Well, let’s delve into the numbers. The average PM2.5 level, signaling those tiny yet villainous particulate matters, sits at 40.7 micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³) as we stagger into Thursday. To lend some perspective, that’s above Thailand’s comfort zone of 37.5 µg/m³ over a leisurely trio of early morning hours from 5am to…
