In a heart-wrenching twist of fate that feels almost ripped from the pages of a modern-day drama, a young Thai woman named Phantiwa has bravely decided to sever ties with her mother, Suphat. This dramatic announcement came via Phantiwa’s social media, where she shared the emotional turmoil that has led her to such a drastic decision. Phantiwa’s revelation unfolded like a compelling thriller – revealing a story of deceit and trust that has left the digital world abuzz. Taking to Facebook, Phantiwa made it clear she would no longer be personally responsible for the seemingly never-ending trail of emotional and financial wreckage her mother has left behind. Her mother, Suphat, who shockingly used Phantiwa’s identity and photographs of her children to entrap unsuspecting men online, has been the source of this chaos. Through tears of frustration and what I imagine was clenched determination, Phantiwa urged any of Suphat’s unsuspecting victims…

In a tale that has abruptly captured the attention of all, a family shrouded in turmoil has thrust the central province of Phetchabun under an intense spotlight. The accusations against the Kham Ngen family—a household of 11—have not only raised eyebrows but also provoked a fierce debate, tangling issues of family privacy with severe allegations of inappropriate conduct.

The 34-year-old mother in question, alongside her husband, was accused of an illicit double-feature: incest and the production of pornographic content. With the youngest family member being just 10 years old, the accusations were grave indeed. Tan Bao’s exposé delved deeper in the comment section, alleging that four of the family’s daughters were coerced into shocking videos. The narrative became even more harrowing with reports of the…
In the bustling corridors of Thailand’s governmental proceedings, an intriguing scenario unfolds before the nation. Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin finds himself at a crucial crossroads, having a mere 15 days to deliberate over a bold recommendation by the Medical Council of Thailand’s committee. The issue at hand involves three doctors accused of misrepresenting the health status of the former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra.

On a bright Tuesday, a gathering of solemn searchers took place at the scene of a tragedy: the site of the State Audit Office (SAO) in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district. A poignant merit-making ceremony was held to honor the memories of those who lost their lives when the structure, an ambitious 2.1-billion baht endeavor, came crashing down. The photograph capturing this somber event, courtesy of Pattarapong Chatpattarasill, evokes a sea of mourning and reflection. Following the catastrophic collapse of the SAO building on March 28, sparked by a devastating earthquake, Bangkok’s Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) has been meticulously piecing together the puzzle, working relentlessly to identify the individuals responsible for this harrowing incident. The MPB is now on the brink of seeking arrest warrants for 17 individuals—engineers, project supervisors, and executives—linked to the project’s collapse. These suspects are intertwined with the Italian-Thai Development and China Railway No.10 Engineering Group Co joint…
Picture this: A charming condominium in the sun-drenched vistas of Phuket, where pristine beaches and azure waters beckon. But alas! The serenity of this idyllic paradise was recently disrupted by an unexpected saga of vandalism, intrigue, and a dash of international scandal… Our story revolves around a young Ukrainian woman, known simply as Anastasiia. She turned what should have been a serene rental stay into a headline-grabbing escapade, leaving behind a trail of chaos and damage estimated at an eye-watering 350,000 baht. The tale unwound rather dramatically. It all began when an unsuspecting property owner, having rented out her condo to Anastasiia through an agent, received distressing news. The tenant had declared her departure in the most unconventional manner, tossing the keys into a bin and leaving behind a condo that bore not the hallmarks of peaceful occupation, but rather those of an avant-garde art display gone terribly awry. Walls…
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra rolled up her sleeves Tuesday, engaging with fruit traders at the grandiose Government House, marking a pivotal day for Thailand’s booming fruit industry. The event wasn’t your everyday bureaucratic meeting; it was a rally, a show of solidarity, and yes, an audacious battle cry against fruit oversupply! In an era where the tantalizing aroma of ripe mangoes and durians can spell trouble by overstuffing markets, the ministries of Agriculture and Commerce have taken center stage. They’ve been given a mission: eliminate the glut of seasonal fruit with the kind of flair that would make even the most seasoned entrepreneurs pause and take notes. The charismatic Prime Minister unveiled a game-changer plan, one tailor-made for the Thai fruit farmers caught in the maelstrom of an unrelenting production surge. “The Ministry of Commerce, in tandem with other agencies and valued private partners, stands ready to orchestrate the efficient…
In the labyrinthine world of Thai politics, whispers often echo louder than the words themselves. On a seemingly uneventful Tuesday, Agriculture Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat, clad in an aura of pragmatism and the leader of the Klatham Party, extinguished the flames of gossip around the party’s alleged financial wooing of prospective political defectors. Minister Narumon, a powerhouse of diplomatic poise, unfolded the narrative that not fewer than ten MPs are poised to wagonjump to the Klatham Party. A charismatic exodus seemed underway after the reputable Krit Chevathamanon, a former People’s Party MP for Chon Buri, ceremoniously stepped away from his political alma mater—formally drawing a curtain on his tenure in the People’s Party yet fortifying his continuance as an independent-minded MP. Krit’s dramatic departure wasn’t just a tale of political transition but an unfolding drama filled with placeholders of uncertainty and potential at the hands of Ms. Narumon. She, holding a…
The start of the school year in Rayong has been anything but ordinary for a group of young girls who found themselves victims of an impromptu salon session courtesy of their teachers. These educators, seemingly armed with shears and strict opinions, decided the students’ hairdos were far from school-appropriate, despite a landmark ruling that suggested otherwise. It’s left many questioning whether a new era of freedom is truly dawning in Thai schools. In a surprising twist of administrative history, the Supreme Administrative Court recently overturned a regulation from 1975 that dictated student hairstyles — a relic reminiscent of an era that valued uniformity over individual flair. The court dismissed the rule on March 5, declaring it contrary to constitutional rights and outmoded by today’s rapidly evolving societal norms. Yet, while the ruling grants schools the autonomy to dictate hairstyle policies, it explicitly forbids any teacher from inflicting mortifying punishments —…
