In a striking series of statements, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the suspended Prime Minister of Thailand, has vehemently accused Cambodia of instigating hostilities along the Thai-Cambodian border. In a carefully crafted declaration shared on X (previously known as Twitter) at precisely 2:25 PM on July 24, Paetongtarn did not hold back as she condemned her neighboring nation. “Cambodia’s actions of violence and aggression are unacceptable, especially their unlawful firearm discharge into Thai territory, impacting both our officials and the innocent citizens of our nation,” she declared with a steely resolve. “These acts grossly violate international legal norms, fundamental human rights, and ethical principles,” she added for emphasis. Paetongtarn, who doubles as Thailand’s culture minister, reminded the world of her country’s steadfast dedication to peace and diplomacy. She eloquently expressed that Thailand’s approach is consistently grounded in patience and legality, expressing hope to avoid further escalation. “Diplomacy is our chosen path to conflict…

Well, fret no more, because Pattaya has taken a bold step forward to reclaim its skyline with the audacious 2025 Telecommunications Cable Organisation Project. A mouthful, yes, but it is set to clean up more than just the city’s vernacular.

In an unexpected and concerning turn of events, tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have led to alarming reports from Thai nationals residing in Cambodia. Yesterday, a Thai woman based in Cambodia bravely came forward with a chilling narrative, recounting her experience of an alleged assault on her fellow countrymen amidst the escalating discord. Her story, first shared on the Facebook page เจ๊มอย v+ (Jmoi v+), has fuelled a surge of anxiety across social media platforms, as she provided gripping video evidence of Cambodian individuals reportedly encircling Thai nationals in broad daylight. Grappling with fear and heightened caution, the woman disclosed that she has been confining herself to the safety of her room. The thought of venturing outside, even to procure basic sustenance, has become a daunting prospect.

In the sun-kissed paradise of Thailand, where tourists flock from all over the globe for a taste of its sugary white beaches and vibrant culture, a curious incident unfolded, leaving locals and visitors alike to gasp in surprise. Imagine if you will, two women, seemingly harmless with their traveler backpacks, stepping like any tourist would into the bustling world of Phuket. Their plan, however, was anything but a typical vacation itinerary. This adventurous duo—Supaporn and Khemnan—found themselves embarking on a rather dubious journey that didn’t involve sandy shores or tropical drinks. Their target: a pristine Toyota Fortuner, registered right there in Phuket. This mission, unlike a typical trip to see the Big Buddha or Phi Phi Islands, involved cutting-edge espionage styled gadgetry that would make a spy proud. The ladies, picture-perfect in every aspect of tourism, orchestrated a rental of this fine vehicle from an unsuspecting car rental service in…
In a hasty effort to protect its citizens from escalating tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border, Thailand’s government has sprung into action, orchestrating an urgent evacuation plan that resonates with urgency and diligence. The tense situation, threatening to spiral into conflict, has prompted Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit to mobilize both the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to secure the safe return of Thai nationals stranded in Cambodia. “The safety and convenience of our people are the top priorities,” emphasized Suriya with an assertiveness that underscores the gravity of the situation. He has instructed all relevant departments to keep a vigilant eye on unfolding events and to ensure that responses are both prompt and effective. At present, four airlines are consistently operating flights from Bangkok to Cambodia. Thai Airways, a stalwart of Thai aviation, generously provides 16 flights per week, each with…
In Chiang Rai, life has suddenly become a frantic race against time, as rescuers scramble to save over 1,000 pigs from a deluged farm. This isn’t just any operation—it’s a dramatic rescue mission unfolding one tiny, perilous boatload at a time. As the calendar turned to July 24, a legion of disaster prevention officials, rescue teams, and local police converged on Ban Huai Khrai Kao in Mueang subdistrict, Thoeng district. The objective? To extricate some 1,300 pigs from a farm now resembling a giant, muddy fishbowl, situated about a kilometer away from stable ground. The encroaching floodwater, reaching depths of up to two meters, has effectively barricaded the farm, turning it into a soggy Fortress of Swine. With access roads now useless, the answer has been to rely on small boats—fearsome flotillas of salvation—to transport the animals to safety on solid terrain. Each pig is moderately placated into a cage…
In the quiet corners of Surin, tucked away in the serene Isaan province, tranquility turned into chaos when disaster struck, leaving a trail of heartache and shattered lives. It was a day no one would forget—a day that pierced through the ordinary with tragic force when fiery BM-21 Grad rockets, launched across the Cambodian border, plunged down upon unsuspecting homes, including one that sheltered a two-month-old, now an angel beyond this world. Amidst the ruins and broken dreams, three other family members grapple with the physical and emotional scars left by this devastating assault. The peace torn asunder by military clashes between Thai and Cambodian forces, a bitter struggle over the disputed grounds of the historical Prasat Ta Muen Thom. Each side points an accusatory finger at the other, laying blame for the violence that erupted like an unbridled storm on the morning of July 24, leaving the truth clothed…
In a bold move towards enhancing pedestrian safety and setting new road safety standards, Pattaya has introduced an innovative traffic control mechanism that’s catching everyone’s attention—and more importantly—slowing down vehicles. On a bright July morning, precisely the 23rd, this bustling city presented its latest venture: a high-tech, visionary pedestrian crossing along Second Road near the frequented Soi 6 in North Pattaya. This initiative aims to transform how roadways are navigated, prioritizing pedestrian welfare and significantly increasing safety on these often bustling streets. The centerpiece of this new system is an attention-grabbing push-button feature. With a mere press, luminescent flashing lights are activated, providing a clear indication for oncoming drivers to either halt or temper their speed. Despite its seemingly modest nature, this mechanism is poised to make a substantial impact, particularly in areas bustling with tourists, by mitigating the risk of pedestrian mishaps. Sompong Phurimanak, who operates a popular vending…
The very essence of tropical unpredictability has descended upon Thailand as the Meteorological Department issues an audacious weather alert—a symphony of stormy seas, torrential downpours, and imminent flash floods ready to perform their chaotic dance across 24 provinces. Enthralled in the heart of this meteorological concerto is Bangkok, bracing for the most formidable onslaught. The unyielding weather patterns predict a relentless deluge washing over the northern, upper northeastern, central, and eastern regions with impunity. In the role of unsuspecting stagehands, Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Tak, and Kanchanaburi must vigilantly stand guard against the inclement crescendo, which threatens to breach riverbanks and orchestrate unexpected flash flooding. The ringleader of this atmospheric tumult is none other than a particularly strong southwest monsoon, sweeping majestically across the Andaman Sea, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand, alongside a rebellious monsoon trough waltzing through northern Thailand into a low-pressure zone nestled in northern Vietnam,…

The night before had witnessed torrential rains with a vigor that tested the patience of Mother Nature herself, resulting in widespread flooding across several districts. The most severely affected, Chiang Kham district, was thrust into chaos as floodwaters invaded areas in proximity to Phayao Hospital. Emergency teams jumped into action, hurriedly fortifying hospital perimeters with sandbags and tarpaulins against the relentless water advances. In an almost cinematic scene, cars appeared to wade through submerged streets, steering through what once were clearly marked roads but now merely hints submerged beneath murky waters. Travel advisories tightly urged residents to remain indoors, only daring to journey out if absolutely essential. The historic Ban Pluk Bridge in Chedi Kham subdistrict experienced a mighty challenge as the roaring Sa Creek and Yuan River…
