In a world where social media can make or break a reputation in the blink of an eye, one Thai university student, known simply as Dear, found herself at the epicenter of a vicious rumor mill that falsely accused her of a heinous act.

In the serene province of Samut Songkhram, a disturbing tale unfolds, weaving its narrative through a family shattered by betrayal and silence. At the heart of this story is a 33-year-old man, accused of inflicting unimaginable harm upon his stepdaughter—a dark secret that dates back to her tender years in fifth grade.

In the midst of this turmoil, Chalida “Ton Aor” Palamat emerges as a beacon of hope for the beleaguered sisters. Ton Aor, a determined advocate, rallies the three sisters—26-year-old A, 20-year-old B, and 14-year-old C—to step forward and place their trust in the legal system. Together, they…

Over in Thailand, at the famed Phuket Tiger Kingdom, accusations have turned into roaring denials as the park firmly refutes claims of a tourist being attacked by a tiger.

The winds of change are blowing across Thailand, and they carry with them a tantalizing opportunity for Thais who prefer to keep a few baht abroad. The land of smiles is rolling out a tax holiday, a move that could turn into a significant win for globe-trotting Thais with treasure troves stashed overseas. As part of this financial fiesta, the Revenue Department is dangling a two-year tax amnesty for foreign-earned income that’s brought back to Thai shores quicker than you can say “profit”. Oh, it’s not just about the feel-good factor; this is a strategic play. With a whopping 2 trillion baht in overseas investments up for grabs, the taxman is keen to entice that money back home and breathe new life into Thailand’s sluggish economy. Picture this: funds currently intertwined with foreign properties, luxurious insurance schemes, and offshore accounts making their way back to the local market. Revenue Department…

Ah, the familiar image, captured most recently by Somchai Poomlard. Yet, behind this unassuming photograph lies a tale of some pretty significant changes in the works, initiated none other than by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra himself. During a momentous cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the Prime Minister, acknowledged Thailand’s prestigious status as a regional aviation cornerstone, decreed something rather interesting. In a move to maintain this enviable position, he tasked the transport and health ministries with a very specific mission: to establish standardized smoking zones at every airport across the kingdom. As Jirayu Huangsub, the voice of the government, eloquently put it, “Thailand is a pivotal nexus for globetrotters, and therefore, it is imperative we cater to their multifaceted needs.” The Prime Minister’s proclamation wasn’t just…
