The once buzzing criminal call centers nestled within the borderlands of Myanmar are seeing their operations grinding to a screeching halt, thanks to Thailand’s relentless new crackdown campaign. In just three months, unprecedented strides have been made to dismantle the cybercrime networks that have long exploited the porous Thai-Myanmar border areas. This ambitious initiative kicked off on February 5, and has effectively targeted the notorious scam hubs by cutting off their power supply, halting fuel deliveries, and severing Internet access. During a press conference yesterday, May 8, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai expressed triumph, stating, “These measures have disrupted the infrastructure sustaining these criminal networks.” The hard-hitting three-pronged approach — dubbed the “3 Cuts” campaign — has forced many cybercriminal operations to either relocate or cease operations entirely. Target locations, such as Myawaddy and Tachileik in Shan State, have been pivotal for the clandestine activities, operating just…

Late-night emergencies have an uncanny knack for unraveling into medical mysteries, especially when they involve nature’s stealthiest predators. In the picturesque eastern province of Rayong, Thailand, one such case unfolded, leaving many questioning the provided medical care. The incident began like any other harrowing tale at 1 a.m. on a quiet Wednesday morning when an unsuspecting 18-year-old, identified as an employee of Paweena Tubtimhom, was bitten by a snake. His mother, displaying the instinctive urgency only a parent can summon, rushed him to Wang Chan Hospital. Upon arrival, hospital staff conducted blood tests, attempting to uncover venom lurking within his veins. According to reports, a doctor concluded that the case was, rather dismissively, “not important,” citing no initial venom detection. In a stroke of optimism—or perhaps oversight—the teen was given a painkiller and disinfectant, instructed to go home, and advised to sleep off the encounter with one of nature’s more…

In a surprising turn of events, Thai Airways International has made the tough decision to hit pause on all flights heading to and from three bustling Pakistani metropolises.
