As June 9 dawns, a meteorological cacophony is set to unravel across the Land of Smiles, serving up thunderstorms and heavy showers in a generous 41 provinces from the lush terrains of Mae Hong Son to the bustling streets of Bangkok. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has released a stern weather advisory, urging residents to brace for Mother Nature’s tempestuous outbursts.

Not one to be left out, a low-pressure system is swirling over Vietnam’s northern coast, while a formidable southwest monsoon roars over the Andaman Sea and beyond, blanketing southern Thailand with its damp embrace. For the valiant mariners venturing into the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, caution is the name of the game.

The stage was set at a modest mobile phone repair shop, owned by a man known as Big, who was soon to become the reluctant protagonist of this unexpected saga.

In the vibrant cityscape of Bangkok, where tantalizing aromas waft through the air, a rather pragmatic revolution is quietly underway. Spearheaded by Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, the diligent Assistant Secretary to the Governor of Bangkok and BMA Spokesman, the city is tackling a slippery nemesis—grease blockages in drainage systems. Picture this mission as “Operation Anti-Grease Blockage,” with Bangkok’s culinary havens as the spirited battleground. In accordance with the innovative Bangkok Act on food and beverage establishments BE 2565 (2022), this initiative is more than just a bureaucratic maneuver. It’s a proactive quest to ensure that every last ounce of greasy villainy is captured before it dares to slip into the city’s veins of drainage. As the legislation demands, every food vendor—be it a bustling street-side cart or a sophisticated glass-clad café—must separate grease before letting wastewater meander into the drainage system. The heroic tools in this saga? Grease traps, grease pits, or…

On a serene June 8th morning, the usually quiet streets of Bang Krang in Nonthaburi province became the backdrop for a dramatic twist. The Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECS) swooped in with a mission and a plan, emphasizing that in the world of taxes, there’s no realm for fakes. Leading the charge was Police Colonel Thathapoom Charuprat, the ECS commander, who handed over the reins to Police Colonel Narupon Karuna and Police Lieutenant Colonel Wannalop Rattanawong. Their target? Phongsak, a 49-year-old construction company executive who, according to charges, was tangled in a web of deceit spun from fake tax invoices. This operation, armed with a Thonburi Criminal Court warrant issued months before in February, turned a quiet residence into a scene of justice served. The backdrop of this arrest was a painstaking investigation led by Nonthaburi’s regional revenue officers. Their findings were damning: 522 fabricated tax invoices, claimed to be…

In the early hours of June 8, a serene morning in Chachoengsao province was shattered by a tragic accident that unfolded under the silvery pre-dawn light. As the clock struck 4:30 AM, the stillness of the two-lane road near Chuat Chado Bridge was pierced by a loud crash, a heart-wrenching collision that claimed the lives of two young souls riding a motorcycle. The scene was both haunting and chaotic, with a mangled Honda Wave lying prone, its once vibrant engine reduced to a broken relic, pieces scattered like an unfinished puzzle. Equally battered was a Mitsubishi Pajero, its front end crumpled, bonnet ajar as it bore the scars of a fierce impact. Just ten meters separated these vehicles, yet the chasm it created in lives was infinite.
