The perplexity of the bustling streets of Huai Khwang took an intriguing twist on Tuesday as local police engaged in questioning a Chinese woman identified as the mastermind behind a contentious Chinese-language billboard. This massive advertisement had audaciously offered a stunning promise: foreign passports and citizenship were up for grabs, a scheme that couldn’t avoid catching the public’s prying eye.

Amidst a whirlwind of legislative transformations, Thailand is on the brink of legislating marijuana for medical use. This announcement comes from Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, heralding a pivotal shift in Thailand’s cannabis policies and reflecting the government’s evolving stance. The nation first made headlines in 2022 as one of the pioneering countries in Asia to decriminalize marijuana, albeit without instituting a comprehensive legal framework to regulate its usage or deter recreational experimentation. The initiative to decriminalize marijuana, enthusiastically supported by Mr. Anutin’s Bhumjaithai Party, sparked a wave of recreational uses, with cannabis cafes popping up in record numbers and sparking public debates about potential misuse. The subsequent societal stir led to Bhumjaithai drafting a bill to regulate cannabis use, a proposal that unfortunately never progressed past its initial reading due to the calling of an election last year. Fast forward to today, and Mr. Anutin, also the country’s interior…
