Someone on Facebook recently turned a few heads — and perhaps loosened a few tans — after posting a candid review of a naturist resort in Thailand. Their write-up, accompanied by photos and a short video, has introduced many people to a corner of Thai hospitality most had never imagined: a fully clothed-free retreat where the rules, oddly enough, are all about respect. The resort in question operates on straightforward naturist principles: when you join in communal activities like swimming, sunbathing, walking about the grounds or using shared facilities, clothing is off the menu. Guests are expected to remain naked while in these spaces. If that sounds radical, the review stresses that the place functions on consent, courtesy and clear boundaries rather than chaos. Two non-negotiables According to the guest, the resort enforces two major rules that keep the environment safe and private. First, no photos or videos of other…

How a Casual TikTok from Nakhon Phanom Sparked a National Conversation What started as a breezy TikTok clip from Nakhon Phanom turned into one of those internet moments that refuses to be ignored. Fah, a 24-year-old woman, casually announced on the platform that she’s happily in a relationship with twin brothers — and she didn’t tiptoe around it. Her caption read, simply and boldly: “I have two husbands.” As you might expect, the video went viral. Comments poured in from every corner: supporters applauding their honesty, critics sharpening their take, and everyone else somewhere in between, scrolling, reacting, and sharing. But beneath the spectacle, the story is oddly ordinary — a trio who talked openly, made choices together, and got on with their lives. Meet the Trio: Fah, Sing, and Suea Fah says she’d been single for more than a year and wasn’t actively searching for romance when the twins,…
What began as a scenic outing along the Ton Sai–Bang Pae route in Phuket turned into a tense forest rescue that reminded everyone how quickly an idyllic hike can go sideways. A Danish couple enjoying one of Khao Phra Thaeo National Park’s most popular trails found themselves in need of help after the woman, 67, slipped while descending near Bang Pae Waterfall and suffered fractures to her arm and leg, along with significant bruising to her lower body. The call for help and a long hike in reply On Friday, January 16, Guardians of Life Medical & Rescue received a distress call from the couple. The location—close to the picturesque Bang Pae Waterfall in Thalang district—sounds straightforward on a map, but in practice it meant more than 15 rescuers had to mobilise and brave dense, uneven jungle. The rescue team spent over five hours trekking through forested terrain, negotiating steep…
Bangkok’s Yan Nawa district served up an unwelcome reminder to tourists and locals alike on the evening of Friday, January 16, when a Chinese visitor’s luxury haul was snatched right outside a restaurant on Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Road. What started as a relaxed meal turned into a high-speed recovery mission by police — and a cautionary tale about leaving valuables unattended. The victim reported the theft to Yannawa Police Station at around 9:45 p.m., saying she had briefly stepped away from her table and left two bags outside the restaurant for roughly 15 minutes. When she returned, one bag — containing a laptop — and another high-end Gucci bag were gone. Inside the Gucci bag were items no traveler wants to lose: a Louis Vuitton wallet, passport and debit cards. The Gucci bag itself was valued at approximately 100,000 baht. Thanks to nearby CCTV cameras, investigators didn’t have to rely on…
Thailand woke up on Sunday to a hazy panorama — not the kind that inspires poets, but the kind that nudges you to check your air quality app. The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gistda) reported at 8 a.m. that 38 provinces, mostly stretching across the Northeast and the Central Plains, were breathing an unhealthy helping of ultrafine dust. PM2.5 readings — those pesky particles 2.5 micrometres or smaller that slip deep into lungs — ranged from 37.6 to 75.6 µg/m³, nudging (and in many cases clearing) past the government’s safety threshold of 37.5 µg/m³. Hotspot: Maha Sarakham tops the chart Maha Sarakham took the unwanted crown with a PM2.5 level of 75.6 µg/m³ — a red-alert reading that poses serious health risks rather than just a gloomy view. The rest of the 37 provinces in this group were branded orange, meaning the air isn’t just annoying; it’s potentially…
The midday hum of Sukhumvit Road — a ribbon of commerce and commuter bustle in the heart of Bangkok — was shattered when a woman armed with a knife began lunging at passersby, sending shoppers, office workers and tourists sprinting for cover. What started as a chaotic scramble quickly became a strange, harrowing tableau captured on video and shared across social media, leaving residents with the same question: how did this happen on a stretch of road that should feel safe? Facebook user Nisarat Gam Dumnernsawat posted the footage, and the clip is as uncomfortable as it is compelling. In it, a woman repeatedly attacks a foreign man with a knife while he frantically defends himself, trying to fend off the blows and protect others nearby. At one point she appears to search the crowd for more victims, and the poster’s voice, tinged with panic, notes: “She just stabbed a…
What began as a routine traffic and drink-driving checkpoint in Bangkok quickly turned into a dramatic afternoon bust, leaving a green BMW, three detained men and a heavy load of guns and drugs in the hands of traffic police. The incident unfolded at about 1:40pm on January 17, 2026, on Pracha Uthit Road in Phlapphla subdistrict, Wang Thonglang district — a stretch of road that, until that moment, had been simply doing its civic duty: slowing drivers down and testing breath alcohol levels. The checkpoint was led by Pol Lt Col Suebsak Phansueb, deputy superintendent of traffic police at Wang Thonglang Police Station. Officers were carrying out the usual checks in front of a petrol station when a green BMW approached from the Meng Jai intersection — but something wasn’t right. The vehicle had no front licence plate and the occupants behaved in a way the officers described as suspicious.…
What began as a solemn farewell at a village temple in Phatthalung turned into a scene of tragedy in the small hours of January 17, 2026. A 21‑year‑old man, identified as Mr. Sittikorn, an aluminium and glass technician, was shot dead during a funeral ceremony at Wat Khuan Peng in Moo 10, Khok Sai subdistrict, Pa Bon district. By dawn, a 41‑year‑old man, Mr. Jare—also known by the nickname Ek—had surrendered to police and admitted to firing the fatal shots. The fatal minutes Police from Pa Bon Police Station were alerted shortly after midnight when reports of gunfire came from the temple grounds. Officers discovered Sittikorn’s body lying in front of the twin pavilions used for funeral rites. Medical examiners later recorded five gunshot wounds to his forehead, shoulder and neck. Spent bullet casings were scattered nearby, a grim punctuation to what should have been a quiet, respectful event. A…
It was a quiet night in Mueang district, Sakon Nakhon—until it wasn’t. At about 9:10 p.m. on January 16, 2026, a coordinated security operation halted what investigators say was a sizeable shipment of crystal methamphetamine, locally known as “ice.” Officers found six heavy sacks in the parking area of the bypass market in Dong Mafai subdistrict, together weighing in at roughly 300 kilograms. Alongside the narcotics, authorities recovered two vehicles and two mobile phones that are now key pieces of evidence. A tip, a tail, and a takedown The takedown was not a stroke of luck. Officials say the operation grew from intelligence supplied by the Internal Security Operations Command, which flagged a trafficking group moving meth from border areas of That Phanom district in Nakhon Phanom province into inland destinations. That lead prompted surveillance and deployments that stretched from border checkpoints to the parking lot where the suspects were…
Commuters expecting a routine drive into Bangkok on the morning of January 17, 2026, got an unexpected — and dramatic — detour when a section of Rama 2 Road suddenly collapsed near the Big C Rama 2 shopping complex in Samut Sakhon province. The incident, which took place at about 6:30 a.m. on the inbound side toward Bangkok, left a pickup truck overturned and submerged upside down in a sizeable water-filled hole, and turned a public-holiday morning into a traffic headache for thousands. Photo credit: Samut Sakhon News Society 2 Facebook page According to first reports, the collapse didn’t simply crumple pavement — it created a deep void in a parallel lane, where the asphalt gave way and revealed a large, water-laden cavity. A pickup truck driving through that lane lost traction and control as the road beneath it surrendered, plunging into the gaping hole and ending up overturned in…
