In a remarkable turn of events that had the bustling city of Bangkok teetering on edge, Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has resolutely declared that the “disaster zone” status lifted over the city is now officially a thing of the past. This bold announcement comes hot on the heels of a jaw-dropping scare that had the capital and its inhabitants ensnared in a whirlwind of anxiety just last Friday. It seems serenity has prevailed as Bangkok breathes a collective sigh of relief, relegating the harrying tremors from a distant Myanmar earthquake to the annals of memory. It was on March 31st, an otherwise unremarkable Thursday, when the city’s 58-year-old sentinel of governance, Governor Chadchart, wielded his potent pen to sign off on the order that banished the March 28th disaster zone declaration to the bureaucratic dustbin.

In the heart of Bangkok, a scene of chaos and desperation unfolded as rescuers battled against time and a mountain of treacherous rubble to save lives. In a tragic turn of events, a sophisticated sensor from the US Military has pinpointed approximately 70 signals within the collapsed State Audit Office building, an unsettling testament to the lives potentially caught within the debris. The device, a beacon of hope and anxiety, detected these signals amid the wreckage of the 30-storey skyscraper which crumbled like a house of cards last Friday. The earthquake had no respect for human craftsmanship, and its ferocity was keenly felt from floors 17 to 21, regions of severe devastation where most victims were believed to have been working. Bangkok’s deputy governor, Tavida Kamolvej, addressed continued uncertainty, stating, “It remains unclear whether all 70 signals are indeed people.” A chill ran through bystanders as she confirmed six signals…

What used to be peaceful walkways now resemble chaotic private driveways. As the city grapples with these rogue parkers, exasperated residents and perplexed pedestrians wonder why officials seem blind to the flagrant violations that have turned pedestrian havens into vehicular jungles. From vibrant zebra crossings to once serene walkways, nowhere is safe. Motorbikes and cars mushroom across walkways like unyielding weeds, leaving pedestrians, from the elderly to carefree children, perilously navigating the bustling thoroughfares. “Why must we wait for people to blatantly break the law before authorities step in?” demands a local, echoing the sentiments of many who cherish a world where rules aren’t just words.

In a chilling configuration, they found two groups of bodies: one comprising of three, another of two, with a lone body to be discovered farther away, separated as if in quiet…

The State Audit Office building in Thailand recently faced such a fate, and it set off a flurry of investigations with experts scrambling to find answers. At the heart of the mystery lies an unexpected culprit: steel samples that didn’t quite make the cut. Enter stage left, Thitiphats Chotidechachainan, the head of the determined working group that vowed to unravel this tangled mess. On the fine day of March 31, Thitiphats took the mic and announced to a captivated audience that the examination had unearthed two steel samples at odds with the required standards. Their findings? A 32-millimeter deformed bar, presumably pumped with muscle but falling short in yield strength, and a 20-millimeter comrade, suspiciously underweight and lacking mass where it mattered most. Both of…

An Israeli national, 37-year-old David, found himself in handcuffs, his travel plans abruptly halted. His alleged offense?

The unfolding drama began on March 30, when a foreign woman reported an assault, leading authorities in the picturesque realm of Surat Thani to embark on a swift investigation. Once the ink dried on the arrest warrant, David had already bid adieu to Koh Samui, boarding a flight to the idyllic neighbor, Phuket. But his hopes of a timely escape were short-lived.
