In a startling revelation that could easily find its place in a gripping crime drama, Thai actor Nakorn Silachai, often recognized by his stage name Ple Nakorn, recently found himself at the center of a high-stakes scam incident. As the current year of 2025 unfolds, Nakorn, notable for roles that captivate audiences across Thailand, redirected his real-life drama to the frontline of cybercrime by reporting a staggering scam to the authorities. Airing these grave concerns to the cyber police, Nakorn disclosed that his beloved relatives fell prey to a sophisticated call center scam, losing an eye-watering amount of 6 million baht. This scam chillingly echoes an earlier incident involving another Thai actor, Charlotte Austin, suggesting a possible connection between the two murky affairs. On a sunny afternoon of January 14, the echoes of pressing charges were palpable as Nakorn, accompanied by Ekpob Luangprasert (the visionary behind the Saimai Must Survive…

In a saga brimming with drama, decorum, and the distinct aroma of cannabis, a video has rocketed across social media channels, stirring the pot of public opinion in Thailand. If ever there was a tableau of humor and horror, it would be encapsulated in this viral clip that captured one woman’s audacious stunt on the Bangkok Skytrain (BTS). Uploaded to the Facebook page อีซ้อขยี้แหลก on January 12, the footage painted a scandalous picture that simultaneously bewildered and infuriated viewers. The video unfolded in the confines of a typically bustling Bangkok train, an everyday setting suddenly electrified by the brazen spectacle of a woman exhaling plumes of vapor into the crowded car. Her demeanor was as nonchalant as you please—texting away with one hand, and wielding what appeared to be a vape device in the other. Amidst this otherwise forgettable urban scene, the familiar scent of cannabis slowly wafted through the…
In a move that promises to bolster Thailand’s standing in the global technology arena, Infineon Technologies has embarked on the construction of a cutting-edge semiconductor backend plant in Samut Prakan, just a stone’s throw from the bustling city of Bangkok. This initiative is not just a boon for Thailand’s burgeoning tech industry but a testament to the country’s growing role as a pivotal player on the world stage. Set to be operational by early 2026, this highly automated facility will primarily focus on crafting power modules—those critical components necessary for everything from industrial applications to renewable energy systems. The scale and ambition of this project are immense, befitting a world increasingly driven by decarbonization and digitalization. It’s supported by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), but its merit extends beyond financial backing. It’s about reshaping the narrative of global manufacturing. Infineon’s COO, Rutger Wijburg, eloquently describes this venture as a…
In the sun-kissed land of Rayong, where the gentle lapping of waves mingles with the melodies of chirping birds, a chilling incident unfurled that left the community in shock. It all began on the serene stretch of road lining the picturesque Moonlight Beach, a locale typically celebrated for its breathtaking vistas rather than acts of violence. On what should have been an ordinary day, the calm was shattered for Arisa, a Thai woman simply making her way to work. Arisa, with her characteristic smile and go-getter attitude, was cruising on her motorcycle toward a local eatery. Little did she know, this ride would be abruptly interrupted by a white Toyota Fortuner—a beast of an SUV that seemed as determined as a bull at a red flag. As the car honked persistently, Arisa obligingly pulled over, expecting nothing more than a hurried vehicle in need of passing. But what followed is…

When it comes to high-profile personalities ingrained in the socio-political fabric of a nation, the grandeur of their presence often follows them even into the quieter moments of life. Such was the case with Thailand’s former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, whose stint at the Police General Hospital (PGH) became more of a spectacle than a mere medical retreat. For six months, Thaksin laid claim to a VIP room perched on the hospital’s 14th floor, shelling out a princely nightly sum of 8,500 baht. Quite the price for privacy and comfort, wouldn’t you say? Meanwhile, the Medical Council of Thailand found itself at the heart of a brewing storm. The council stood poised and ready, keenly awaiting the medical records of the ex-premier from PGH, prompted by whispers, murmurs, and more robust discussions about potential breaches of medical ethics. Who wouldn’t want a peek behind the curtain of Thaksin’s medical sojourn?…
In a world where breakfast reigns supreme as the “most important meal of the day,” it seems not all sunny starts are created equal. Touted by millions across the globe, breakfast choices are under scrutiny, as leading gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi takes to TikTok with crucial insights, amassing an audience of 476,000 followers who eagerly digest his advice. His message rings louder than a morning alarm—it’s not just about when you jumpstart your day, but what fuels it. Dr. Sethi’s breakfast blacklist kicks off with bacon, a staple that sizzles with controversy. Often crowned as the quintessential breakfast side, bacon is dubbed a dietary villain by Dr. Sethi due to its processed nature, health-sabotaging fats, and nitrates. This salty delight enters the “caution” zone, with the World Health Organization having tagged it as a potential carcinogen as far back as 2015. Cooking this cured meat at blistering temperatures might just…
