MK Restaurants’ grand offer of boundless culinary delights quickly turned into a saga of hungry frustrations as patrons took on the MK-Koom-Koom Eat All You Can buffet challenge, only to find themselves caught in a whirlwind of empty plates and dashed hopes. The promotion, unveiled on June 9, promised a smorgasbord of indulgence with premium picks like Australian brisket, succulent pork slices, tender cuts, and even seaweed delicacies, all for the superbly tempting price of merely 299 baht. Who could resist? But, as word of this food fiesta spread like wildfire, the reality of the situation took a twist. Instead of endless feasting, customers faced interminable queues, food shortages, and staffing hiccups. The clamor for unlimited prawn parties for groups of four turned the affair into an unintended spectacle of unprepared hospitality. In a scene more dramatic than any television culinary competition, branches across the nation were soon overwhelmed. As…

In a riveting turn of events this morning, the bustling Thai city of Bangkok was met with a startling revelation. A female doctor, cloaked in the guise of professionalism and authority, has been apprehended under serious allegations of trafficking sedative drugs. Among these is the infamous alprazolam, more commonly recognizable by its sinister moniker—the “date-rape drug.” Before the sun broke through the morning haze, officials from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) joined forces with the Narcotics Suppression Bureau and several other agencies for a coordinated raid on a police residence in Bangkok’s Phaya Thai district. This clandestine operation emerged in response to red flags over the doctor’s unauthorized procurement of this controlled substance—an activity rightfully restricted to licensed medical practitioners. It soon unraveled that the suspect, a Police Colonel in her rank, had been orchestrating a complex drug acquisition scheme. She cunningly utilized the confessed names of 11 medical…
In a somber turn of events, a 29-year-old man’s life came to a tragic end after a fatal incident involving electrocution in the serene Chaloem Phra Kiat district, nestled in the lush backdrop of southern Thailand’s Nakhon Si Thammarat. The drama unfolded amid the warm embrace of June 10th, as midday rays cast their glow over the quaint Thang Phun subdistrict. This seemingly ordinary day was abruptly punctuated by urgent reports of a man teetering ominously close to a 230,000-volt transmission line, dashing any remnants of tranquility that might have lingered in the air. When the emergency services descended upon the scene with haste and precision, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight. The man’s lifeless body lay at the base of a daunting power transmission tower, cruelly dressed in a blend of camouflage clothing that starkly contrasted with the visibility of severe burns. His identity—a resident of the nearby…
In the colorful and dynamic landscape of Thai media, what begins as a whisper can quickly escalate into a headline-grabbing spectacle. This week, a fresh face in the media limelight found himself at the center of a bizarre and eye-opening controversy. Yes, dear readers, this is the tale of an alleged scandal swirling around a prominent Thai news reporter accused of quite bold extracurricular activities. During the sunny day of June 8, against the backdrop of digital speculation, an audacious post appeared on the Facebook page Tan Pao. This post didn’t just stir the pot—it gleefully toppled it. The allegations? That a well-known male news anchor was secretly distributing explicit content online, all while indulging his passion for, shall we say, adventurous outdoor escapades. Imagine the audacity, conducting such risqué acts in very public venues, ranging from petrol station restrooms to the lesser-trodden paths alongside railway tracks! Not letting the…
In an audacious digital rebellion, a Cambodian hacker group has stirred a hornet’s nest by defacing several Thai government websites. This cyber onslaught is part of their protest against the ongoing border spat between Thailand and Cambodia. In response, Thailand’s Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) is hot on their trail, with arrest warrants against the alleged cyber offenders and collaborations with global agencies underway to bring them to justice. On this day, June 10, Police Lieutenant General Trirong Piwpan, the revered head of CCIB, declared the commencement of a full-fledged investigation. The initial red flag was raised on June 3 by the Cyber Intelligence Community—a vigilant network of government IT whizzes—citing potential cyber-attacks by the shadowy collective “bl4ck_cyb3r”. This ominous alliance had threatened a digital deluge of DDoS attacks alongside graphic defacements of Thai websites as a mutinous response to the fraught border predicament between Thailand and Cambodia. Indeed, from…
In the bustling coastal city of Pattaya, where the serene waves of the Gulf of Thailand meet a vibrant nightlife, an unsettling incident pierced the tranquility. A 44-year-old French national, known as Autret, found himself at the center of an alarming legal storm, accused of an appalling crime that sent shockwaves through both local and international communities. Autret, who found temporary lodgings at the Pattaya Plaza Condotel on the buzzing Soi Sukhumvit Pattaya 59, was abruptly arrested in the sun-soaked afternoon of June 8. This arrest wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment event; it was a calculated move following an arrest warrant issued by the Nong Khai Provincial Court on June 6. The charge? The alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in a quiet corner of the northeastern province of Nong Khai—a place usually known for its peaceful landscapes and historic temples. What emerged from this chilling narrative is a tale of…
In a remarkable maritime tale, the 48-foot catamaran named Seabeat has been successfully retrieved after breaking loose from its mooring in the bustling Chalong Bay. This wayward vessel embarked on an unexpected journey, drifting an incredible 24 nautical miles amidst inclement weather, only to be brought safely back home after a thrilling rescue operation. The odyssey of the Seabeat began in the early hours of June 9, when strong winds and tempestuous seas conspired to set the catamaran adrift from its mooring at the Ao Chalong Boat Yacht Repair Dock. It wasn’t until the daylight peeked through that the Seabeat’s absence was noticed. At approximately 8:10 AM, the alert went out. The Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre Region 3 (Thai MECC 3), nestled in Cape Panwa, sprang into action upon receiving the distress signal. The ocean had spirited away its new companion under the cover of darkness, and it was…
In a recent turn of events, the world of online social media was shaken up as a 32-year-old woman found herself under police custody. Her crime? Disseminating misleading information on the ever-volatile Thai-Cambodian border situation. This online debacle, which rippled across social media platforms, spotlighted issues of accuracy and integrity in digital communication. The incident, which raised eyebrows and questions, culminated in her arrest, announced with due gravitas by Police Lieutenant General Trairong Phiwphan and a cadre of senior officials at the Technology Crime Suppression Division headquarters in Mueang Thong Thani, only yesterday—June 9. Armed with a warrant from Khon Kaen Provincial Court, the police nabbed the woman, known only as Ya, on charges that sound intimidatingly cyber-age: introducing false information into a computer system. Her posts, crafted with a flair for melodrama, painted a portrait of chaos, complete with fictional explosions, casualties, and residents fleeing as if an apocalypse…
In a city that never sleeps, where the neon lights compete with the stars, an audacious caper unfolded under the cover of broad daylight in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok. Picture this: a bustling warehouse in Lat Krabang, storing treasures that caused many eyes to glaze over with envy—vintage collectibles worth a king’s ransom. But in the blink of an eye, these priceless items vanished quicker than morning mist. The caper seemed like a scene straight out of a heist movie. On the lazy afternoon of June 9th, as the city buzzed with its usual symphony of tuk-tuks and street vendors, the police sprung into action. Leading the charge was none other than Police Major General Siam Boonsom, flanked by his trusty deputies. They rallied the troops from the Metropolitan Police Bureau and Rom Klao Police Station. The trio of miscreants—Kritsada “Dahim” Romklao, Chaloemphon “Golf,” and Sutthiphong “Dui”—took their criminal…
Within the corridors of Thailand’s Government House, an unexpected storm brewed over a series of innocuous photos. The focal point of the brewing tempest? None other than Thailand’s Public Health Minister, Somsak Thepsuthin. As these snapshots made their rounds online, a whirlwind of criticism followed closely, akin to the seasonal winds stirring up controversy within the political landscape. The images captured Somsak alongside Chinese students amidst the ornate backdrop of governmental prestige, reportedly a mere exchange of New Year pleasantries. However, those brief flashes froze in time seemed to tell a tale of their own, one far removed from simple cordiality. The virtual cacophony reached a crescendo when CSI LA, a prominent voice amid the digital noise, suggested nefarious undertones. The accusation was straightforward yet potent: preferential treatment was allegedly being extended to Chinese students and business operators, bypassing the meticulous scrutiny mandated for Thai citizens visiting these hallowed halls.…
