Chadchart Sittipunt Launches Bangkok School Curriculum to Tackle Childhood Obesity

When Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt stood at a podium on December 11 to launch a new childhood-obesity initiative, the audience didn’t just get policy speak and program timelines — they got a blast from the past. Behind him, projected above the stage, was a grainy childhood photograph of two delightfully chubby boys. The boys were later identified as Chadchart and his twin brother, Chanchai Sittipunt. The image halted scrolling thumbs and lit up Thai social media, but the campaign it introduced is no joke: “Don’t let children become obese” is the city’s fresh, ambitious push to shape healthier futures for Bangkok’s youngsters. A coalition of partners — and a memorable image The campaign is a collaboration between the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, the Royal Danish Embassy in Thailand, Novo Nordisk Pharma, and Nudge Thailand. It sits under the wider “Bangkok: City for Better Health” policy…

Mut Saveun Killed in Cambodia–Thailand Border Clash

On December 11, Cambodia paused to mourn one of its own. Mut Saveun, a 43-year-old soldier assigned to the 67th Tank Battalion and four months pregnant, was publicly honoured by officials after she was reportedly killed during a frontline clash with Thai forces the day before in the Boeung Trakoun area. The Minister of Women’s Affairs posted a message of sorrow, praising Saveun’s bravery and promising that her sacrifice would live on in the hearts of the Cambodian people. The details emerging from the border skirmish paint a picture that is equal parts tragic and puzzling. Saveun—described by officials as coming from a military family—left behind a husband and a daughter who is currently in her second year studying English literature at university. The image of a pregnant woman serving on a tense frontline understandably raises questions about how and why she came to be stationed there. Cambodian authorities emphasised…

Australian Tourist Dies After Crashing Through Karon Restaurant Glass Door

Late on the evening of December 11, a routine night out in Phuket’s popular Karon area turned into a tragic and bewildering incident when an Australian man reportedly ran full force into a restaurant’s glass door and later died from severe blood loss. Authorities from Karon Police Station were alerted at about 10:30pm after reports of a disturbance, but by the time officers arrived the man had already been taken to Chalong Hospital. The scene left an unmistakable image: a shattered glass entrance and a large pool of blood in front of the restaurant. Staff and fellow diners were left shaken. The man’s identity has not been publicly disclosed while investigators piece together what happened that night. What the CCTV reveals Police reviewed CCTV footage from inside the venue to reconstruct the sequence of events. According to the footage and subsequent statements, the Australian arrived alone and sat at a…

Mongkol Thirakhot (Busbas): 46‑Year Lèse‑Majesté Sentence in Thailand

The Supreme Court’s final hammer fell on December 11 at Chiang Rai Provincial Court: Mongkol Thirakhot, better known to many as Busbas, was sentenced to 46 years in prison for a string of Facebook posts. Once a 32‑year‑old clothing seller, Mongkol transformed into a vocal political activist — and now faces one of the harshest penalties in recent memory under Thailand’s lèse‑majesté law and the Computer Crime Act. The posts and the penalties Prosecutors tied Mongkol to 27 Facebook posts made between March and April 2021. Authorities concluded the posts violated Section 112 of the Criminal Code — Thailand’s notorious lèse‑majesté provision — as well as provisions of the Computer Crime Act. The Supreme Court’s decision upholds a combined sentence of 46 years — and crucially, the sentence will not be suspended. This verdict follows an earlier ruling from Appeals Court Region 5, which imposed a 50‑year sentence — also…

Ban Khlong Luek Blocked: Thai Nationals Stranded at Sa Kaeo Border

What began as a routine border crossing turned into a tense waiting game at Ban Khlong Luek — and the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh didn’t waste time sounding the alarm. An urgent letter was dispatched to Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior after reports surfaced that Thai nationals in Cambodia were being prevented from re-entering Thailand through the Sa Kaeo checkpoint. The episode, unfolding in early December 2025, has become another fraught chapter in the already strained Thai–Cambodian border story. Checkpoint drama: Thai nationals stuck, unanswered questions On Wednesday, December 11, Thai-Cambodian Border Coordination officials told Thai PBS that Cambodian authorities at Ban Khlong Luek had stopped Thai citizens from crossing back into Thailand. At the time, no official reason was given for the restriction — just confusion, uncertainty and long lines of travelers stuck on one side of the line. Adding fuel to the fire, relatives waiting with the…
