Pattaya’s Infamous 86 Club Faces Closure After Dramatic Pre-Dawn Police Raid

In the misty pre-dawn hours of Pattaya, when even the most nocturnal creatures contemplate winding down, a dramatic spectacle unfolded that seemed ripped straight from a thrilling action movie. Picture this: on July 11th, in the wee hours, a battalion of officers stormed the infamous 86 Club, a notorious hotspot simmering on Soi Bongkot. What triggered this formidable raid? A concoction of relentless complaints from exasperated locals, and alarmingly, a recent brawl that could rival the rowdiest of street rumbles. The raid wasn’t an impulsive decision but a carefully orchestrated maneuver led by a trinity of determined officials—Acting Lieutenant Choltis Leyanont, the eagle-eyed Chon Buri Provincial Administrative Officer, Nathapop Yomjinda, the astute Deputy District Chief of Bang Lamung, and Police Colonel Anek Srathongyoo, who helms the Pattaya City Police Station.

Thai Student Decline Amid South Korea’s Rising Foreign Arrivals – Analyzing the Shift in 2024

The latest revelation in South Korea’s bustling scene of foreign arrivals comes with a curious twist. While the nation continues to beckon international students and trainees with open arms, an unexpected decline has emerged from a once-thriving contingent. Thai students and trainees, once flocking to South Korea in notable numbers, have taken a nosedive, leading many to scratch their heads in wonder. Statistics Korea reports unveiled a significant reduction in 2024, with only 21,000 Thai nationals entering on student and training visas — a dramatic 40% decrease from the previous year’s tally. This fall is starkly contrary to the broader trend showcasing a 19% increase in overall foreign entries for study or training, totalling 99,000. The statistics agency hasn’t shed light on this drop-off, leaving experts and pundits to draw their own conclusions. Some theorize that South Korea’s economic challenges could be a contributing factor. A sluggish growth rate is…

Thailand Weather Alert: Thunderstorms, Flash Floods Expected Across 48 Provinces Including Bangkok – July 2025

The skies over Thailand have been letting loose, and the country’s Meteorological Department (TMD) doesn’t want anyone caught without an umbrella or a lifeboat, for that matter. Today, they’ve thrown down a weather warning, heralding the arrival of thunderstorms and heavy rain drenching 48 provinces, including the bustling metropolis of Bangkok. But wait, it gets splashier: 15 provinces are under the magnifying glass for potential flash floods and runoff because, Mother Nature isn’t playing games. The cosmic mischief stems from a monsoon trough that’s got the upper northern and northeastern regions of Thailand on edge, not to mention a few neighbors like Laos and northern Vietnam. Just when you thought it couldn’t get stormier, a low-pressure system is rocking the upper northeastern region, all while the ever-strengthening southwest monsoon sweeps through the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and even the Gulf of Thailand.
