In a city where the majestic Chao Phraya River snakes gracefully through its vibrant heart, a scandal of shocking proportions has emerged, creating waves of outrage that have swept across Bangkok with the force of a monsoon. The serene flow of the river, usually bustling with colorful long-tail boats and roving ferries, has been marred by the nefarious actions of some who seem to have treated it like a personal dumpster. The storm was whipped into frenzy by none other than Carla Porter, a name that resonates with elegance and grace, given her claim to fame as the first runner-up of Miss Thailand World 2009. Porter, now an unintentional environmental heroine, leveraged her social media prowess to bring an unsavory truth to light: a clandestine operation of garbage dumping, perpetrated by cruise ship staff, and shockingly, as routine as dawn breaking over the cityscape. In a video as clear as…
In a city renowned for its vibrant culture and bustling life, Bangkok is currently grappling with a wave of public anger spurred by an environmental scandal that has shocked its residents. The serene Chao Phraya River, which snakes its way through the heart of the bustling metropolis, is at the center of this controversy. The dark clouds began to gather when former beauty queen Carla Porter, who gained fame as the first runner-up of Miss Thailand World 2009, dropped a bombshell online that has since reverberated across social media platforms. Video footage taken discreetly by Carla’s friend reveals the jaw-dropping actions of a cruise ship’s staff as they unabashedly dump piles of plastic bottles, foam boxes, and assorted rubbish directly into the river. The clandestine clip, which Porter shared on her popular Facebook page, has made a staggering impact, drawing widespread condemnation from concerned citizens and environmental advocates alike. According…
In the early dawn hours of a Thursday morning, a cloak-and-dagger operation unfolded quietly yet dramatically in Bangkok. Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsaeng captured photographic evidence of shadowy detention vans. Their windows, shrouded in black tape, departed the confines of the immigration detention center on Soi Suan Phlu. This clandestine exodus marked the departure of 40 Uyghur detainees who had become unwilling residents of Thailand for an extensive 11-year stretch. Thailand’s Defense Minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, confirmed the transfer was executed after receiving assurances from China regarding the detainees’ well-being. “We have worked in accordance with international standards,” he pronounced, putting an end to a whirlwind of speculation. Yet, this governmental maneuver swiftly ignited a blaze of dissent among human rights advocates. Voicing vehement disapproval, Phil Robertson, a leading light at Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates, lambasted Thailand’s actions as an “unthinkable betrayal.” He proposed Thailand vacate its coveted seat…
In the heart of Nong Sai village, under the gentle cover of a star-studded night, a timeless ritual unfolds. A gnarled neem tree, its branches spreading like a silent storyteller above the abandoned whispers of an old house, becomes the focal point for hopeful residents. With roots sinking into soil that’s witnessed over a century, the tree stands tall amid rice fields, a sacred sentinel for those who gather beneath its leafy canopy on this special Buddhist holy day. Yesterday, February 26, the air was filled with quiet anticipation as villagers from the Mueang district of Surin province made their offerings—flower petals like colorful whispers, incense plumes tracing the past, flickering candles, and red drinks beloved by spirits. The local gathering circled the ancient tree, each participant’s eyes shimmering with a mix of reverence and hope. As part of their ritual, incense smoke curled upwards in a fragrant announcement to…
A snapshot shared on social media by Fair Party MP, Kannavee Suebsaeng, recently stirred up a storm. The image captured an early-morning exodus of detention vans with windows obscured by black tape, pulling out from the immigration detention center on Soi Suan Phlu in Bangkok. This covert operation seemed to be the preamble to a day loaded with tension and debate, as 40 Uyghur detainees found themselves being deported from Thailand, ending an eleven-year chapter in the country. The move came following reassurances from China stating that these individuals would be well taken care of, as disclosed by Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. With that, Thailand has come under heavy siege from human rights activists worldwide. When the news broke, Phil Robertson, Bangkok’s own watchdog from Asia Human Rights and Labor Advocates, was not one to mince words. Describing the move as “unthinkable,” he boldly suggested that Thailand should relinquish its…
As darkness falls over Nong Sai village, a sense of anticipation fills the air. Residents eagerly gather around an ancient neem tree, its history stretching back over a century, nestled beside an abandoned house at the edge of the rice fields. It’s a Buddhist holy day, February 26th to be precise, and the villagers believe this spiritual occasion could bring them good fortune in the upcoming lottery draw. The neem tree stands tall, its bark aged and wise, embraced by the shared memories of the community. Flowers, incense, brightly burning candles, and a scattering of red drinks form a sacred offering at its base. This ritual is not just tradition; it’s a hopeful plea for the spirits to reveal promising numbers. With respectful reverence, the villagers begin by lighting incense, a signal to the spirits that they’re seeking guidance. The careful scraping of the bark follows, the villagers’ eyes squinting…
As the sun gently sets over the vibrant landscapes of Thailand, a new chapter in the realm of tourism unfolds. By the close of this year, chatter abounds with the impending arrival of a 300-baht tourism tax, set to be levied on foreign visitors. This new scheme, a brainchild of Tourism and Sports Minister Sorawong Thienthong, aims to strike a delicate balance between generating revenue and smoothing the tourist experience during Thailand’s much-awaited High Season. Yet, as with all great innovations, the tax proposal has sparked a whirlwind of debate across the industry, with critics and supporters locking horns over its potential implications. If all goes according to plan, this contentious tax will leap from legislative text to living reality by March, once it graces the pages of the Royal Gazette. The tax applies uniformly to all globetrotters—those arriving via the ease of air travel and those embarking upon more…
