The mystique of Bangkok’s opulence took a dark turn this week, as six lives were tragically cut short under the glimmering chandeliers of the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel. Authorities were left perplexed after discovering that a deadly blend of cyanide and tea was the grim culprit behind the untimely end of five Vietnamese nationals. Police soon turned their scrutiny toward a woman who straddled two worlds—Sherine Chong, a 56-year-old Vietnam-born U.S. citizen. Pol Maj Gen Nopasilp Poonsawat, the astute deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, provided insights that only deepened the enigma. Chong, whose presence in room 502 prefaced the fatal tea, had meticulously planned what now seems to be a premeditated murder. Witnesses from the hotel’s staff recalled her solitary wait in that room, on the fifth floor, as she dialed room service for food and, crucially, tea. Something as innocent as a cup of tea became a…

In a significant development for Bangkok’s transit infrastructure, the cabinet on Tuesday sanctioned Bangkok Expressway and Metro Plc (BEM) to commence the long-anticipated western route project of the Orange Line, as announced by government spokesman Chai Wacharonke. The Orange Line, an essential part of the city’s rail network, promises to connect Bang Khun Non district with the bustling Min Buri district through a sprawling 35.9-kilometre expanse of both underground and elevated rail sections. The Orange Line is ingeniously segmented into two primary routes: a 13.4km western stretch spanning from Bang Khun Non to the Thailand Cultural Centre, and a more extensive 22.4km eastern route that stretches from the Cultural Centre all the way to the Suwinthawongse area in Min Buri district. As of now, the eastern route’s construction has reached the finish line, with a projected launch for train services by January 2028. The journey to this milestone, however, was…
The Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) has declared its determination to fulfill Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s bold mission: to wipe out narcotics and drug trafficking in 25 of Thailand’s most impacted provinces within a mere three months.
