The stage is set for a stormy symphony, complete with heavy rain taps and thunderous crescendos expected to drench a whopping 60% of Bangkok today.

Picture this: Police General Kittirat Punpech, sporting a serious demeanor, stepped up to address what might be deemed an unexpected surprise at the Immigration Bureau’s training center — the ceiling had taken a plunge! But there’s no need to fret; while it might sound like a scene straight out of an action movie, there’s a rational explanation: it seems the true perpetrator is none other than a mischievous air conditioning system. The narrative unfolded like this: Water conjured up by a sneaky leak in the condenser had been coming together like an unruly mob, unbeknownst to the ceiling it would later annoy. For three years, this watery bandit weakened the overhead structure, all the while the air conditioning system failing to do its job due to neglected, unkempt filters.

It wasn’t a typical afternoon in Chiang Mai, as the earth’s gentle rumble reminded its residents of the majestic forces beneath their feet. The source of this unannounced shake was the Mae Tha fault, a normal fault line casually lurking like an unseen force of nature.

In a revealing chat on the Inside Thailand TV programme, Suchart peeled back the curtain on these potential defections. “Should they find that another party offers greater liberty or aligns more closely with their political ideals, it is entirely rational for them to make a change,” Suchart emphasized, with the ease of someone who’s weighed and measured political winds before. Yet, he is not oblivious to the trepidation that accompanies such a decision. “Various MPs are still mulling over the move, burdened by the fear of whether they can hold onto their roles,” Suchart…
