In the bustling heart of Bangkok, a tale as old as time is unfolding with a modern twist. A group of condo owners and their not-so-secret service agents find themselves in a legal pickle over complaints that their pristine units are not just homes but have been moonlighting as cheeky little hotel rooms. This all came to light when alert residents in the lively Pratunam area raised their voices over the disruptions caused by short-term occupants sauntering around like they owned the place. Chaiwat Chirauntirawong, the ever-astute director-general of the Department of Provincial Administration (DPA), spoke out about the hullabaloo.

Today’s headlines span from the serene shores of Phuket to the bustling heart of Bangkok, each tale a thread in the rich tapestry of Southeast Asia. In the tranquil setting of Kata Beach, a scene of unexpected somberness unfolded. A foreign tourist, no longer in the prime of youth but still young at heart, was discovered lifeless beneath the gentle canopy of a beach umbrella. The woman, seemingly seeking solace by the sea, lay unmoving, adorned with mysterious red rashes on her back and legs—marks that whispered of life’s fleeting nature.

In an unexpected twist, Thailand’s Transport Ministry has hit the brakes on its plan to transition Krabi, Udon Thani, and Buriram airports to the management of Airports of Thailand Plc (AOT). This surprising U-turn, revealed on March 6, springs from a cocktail of financial and operational worries. Instead of passing the baton to AOT, the ministry is now rolling up its sleeves to give a facelift to state-operated airports, aiming to create a slicker, more money-smart operation that won’t need to constantly mooch off government coffers. It’s not just about the money, honey: Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri shared the scoop, explaining why the promising proposal, greenlit by the Cabinet back in August 2022, has parked itself indefinitely. “These three bustling air hubs are more than just tarmac and terminals—they’re golden geese supplying steady income streams for the Department of Airports (DOA). We see them as benchmarks to turbocharge our…
In an unexpected twist of events, the bustling streets of Patong in Phuket recently witnessed a rather spicy arrest that left tongues wagging and eyebrows raised. A 33-year-old Turkish man found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, as officers from the Patong Police Station swooped in on what they described as an illegal cannabis operation that had the makings of a neighborhood sensation. His arrest, which took place on March 6 outside none other than the lightheartedly named “Weed Kebab” store on the infamous Bangla Road, was as dramatic as it sounds. It seems that the ingenuity of creatively peddling cannabis in a fashion reminiscent of a kebab joint caught the attention of local law enforcement — and not just the gaze of intrigued tourists. The Turkish man was accused of distributing cannabis without the necessary permits. Adding to his troubles, he was charged under the Foreigners’…

At the heart of this diplomatic exchange lies the tempestuous Golok River. Its waters, while a lifeline to many, have also been a source of tumult, wreaking havoc on communities along the Thailand-Malaysia border.
