South Korean DJ Arrested in Chiang Mai for Working Without Permit

Chiang Mai’s nightlife got a dose of immigration reality this week when a South Korean DJ — blissfully focused on beats and bass — was abruptly cut from the lineup after officers discovered he was working without the proper paperwork. The suspect, whose name has not been released, was detained on the night of November 19 following a tip-off about foreign nationals working illegally in the Mueang district. The operation unfolded in Suthep subdistrict at around 10pm, with officers from Immigration Division 5 and the Chiang Mai Immigration Bureau keeping a close watch before moving in. The investigation was led by Police Colonel Surachai Iampueng, commander of Chiang Mai Immigration, together with Deputy Commander Police Lieutenant Colonel Phatsalaporn Suksasan. Their target: alleged violations of Thailand’s Immigration Act of 1979 and related labour legislation. When officers inspected a local entertainment venue, they found the South Korean man behind the decks —…

Ekniti Nitithanprapas: Thailand’s Fast Pass to Unlock 300bn Baht

Thailand’s “Fast Pass” Plan: A Turnpike for Investment or Just Another Speed Bump? Thailand’s finance minister, Ekniti Nitithanprapas, is set to push a bold new idea to the economic Cabinet on Monday, November 24: the Thailand Fast Pass. Designed to cut through months — even years — of bureaucratic snarl and get approved projects out of limbo, Fast Pass is billed as the government’s shortcut to turn committed investment into real capital spending, fast. The numbers behind the pitch are hard to ignore. In the first nine months of the year, investment promotion applications jumped a striking 94% year-on-year, reaching a total of 1.3 trillion baht. The applications are concentrated in high-growth sectors that read like Thailand’s future playbook: food processing, electronics, data centres, electric vehicles (EVs), wellness, automation and advanced medical services. Yet despite those approvals, the reality has been frustratingly pedestrian. Of the 1.3 trillion baht in approved…

Myiasis in Bangkok: Botfly Larva from Brazil Explained

One close-up photo, one social-media group, and a swarm of comments later, Bangkok found itself glued to a tiny, wriggling drama: an insect larva removed from the skin of a foreign patient who had just returned from Brazil. A hospital worker posted the images to the popular Facebook group นี่ตัวอะไร (“What is this animal?”) on November 19, and the internet reacted the way the internet does best—equal parts curiosity, horror, and speculation. The photos show a soft, elongated larva with semi-translucent skin and obvious segmentation. For many netizens, the culprit looked instantly familiar: a botfly larva. That guess wasn’t far off. Jessada Denduangboripat, a science communicator and lecturer in the Department of Biology at Chulalongkorn University, stepped in to calm nerves and add context. He explained that the patient’s condition is known as myiasis—an infestation by fly larvae—most commonly seen in travelers returning from regions such as South America or…

Anutin Names Three Bhumjaithai PM Candidates — Ekniti, Suphajee

Under the formal chandeliers of Government House, Bhumjaithai Party stepped onto a slightly larger stage this week — and they brought company. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul used a press event to announce not one, not two, but three names on his party’s list of prime ministerial candidates, signaling a bolder posture ahead of the looming election. The new lineup pairs Anutin with Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun. According to Anutin, all three will be officially nominated after a planned party assembly on Sunday, November 23 — a move that the party says reflects its growth and a willingness to share leadership responsibility. “This time, Bhumjaithai isn’t the small party it once was,” Anutin told reporters. “Back then, I was the sole nominee. Now, we’ve grown — and it’s time others shared the leadership responsibility.” The tone was part-statement, part-invitation: the party is…
