A 33-year-old Russian woman has been arrested by tourist police in Phuket for posing as a medical professional and offering unauthorised treatments to unsuspecting clients.
The suspect, identified only as Viktoria, was detained in a rented apartment while attempting to administer an injection to what she believed was a genuine client. In reality, the “client” was an undercover officer who had arranged the appointment as part of a sting operation. Viktoria had agreed to provide the unspecified treatment for 6,000 baht.
Police seized 47 medical items from the premises, including syringes and various pharmaceutical products. During questioning, Viktoria admitted that she had no formal medical qualifications and was neither licensed to practise medicine nor authorised to distribute or import medication in Thailand.
She claimed she had been acting at the request of her Russian friend, Marina, who helped her find clients through an online social media page. The pair allegedly promoted their services on the internet, offering injections to treat a range of unspecified health issues.Authorities have charged Viktoria with illegal medical practice, unauthorised distribution and importation of pharmaceutical products and working in Thailand without a permit.
Tourist police have reiterated the importance of verifying the credentials of anyone offering medical services, warning that illegal practitioners pose a serious risk to public health.
Investigations into Marina’s involvement are ongoing.

Rule #1: Dont start or participate in a bar fight in the USA
No sometimes it's just knives 😜 actually seen quite a few back in the day in my old neighborhood out in Brooklyn and Queens just regular bar fights with fists . However they were never like the movies you know funny with just a few punches . They got pretty violent and in some cases it carried on outside and people were many times violently beaten . It just taught that after a certain time I like to stay out of bars and large gatherings off people and booze 👍🏼

A British expat's sunny retirement in Thailand has turned stormy as his UK state pension remains frozen, leaving him counting every baht. Christopher Lee traded Wrexham for Thailand in 2010, drawn by the warm climate and relaxed lifestyle. But, his pension is stuck at its original rate, unlike UK counterparts who've seen increases of up to 80%.
At 70, the former banker relies on a weekly £137 (6,150 baht) after a SERPS top-up, opposed to the current UK basic pension of £176.45 (7,880 baht). In Thailand, one of many countries on the UK’s 'frozen pensions' list, Lee and others see their pensions diminish amidst rising costs.
Over 450,000 Brits in countries like Thailand, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand share Lee's plight, battling constant inflation. “The extra cash would be most useful,” Lee voiced, pressing for a policy reversal as financial strains increase. Adding to his woes is a modest private pension that fails to deliver the retirement he envisioned.
Groups of British pensioners in Thailand are pushing back, urging government reform as pensioners face poverty—a plight highlighted in The Thaiger's coverage of Brits struggling in Pattaya and Chiang Mai. The UK government, however, maintains that adjusting overseas pensions would cost nearly £1 billion annually.
The Department for Work and Pensions reported it would take an estimated £940 million to unfreeze pensions in 2024-25. While officials insist information is clear on retirement financial impacts, Lee and others find this unsatisfactory. "We've paid in, so we deserve annual increases," he argued.
For expats like Lee, the reality is stark—a life of rising prices and tightened budgets, far removed from the warm retirement once imagined under the Thai sun.

A shocking video capturing a clash between ladyboys on Patong’s Soi Bangla has gone viral, causing a stir among tourists and locals alike.
The footage, shared on a Facebook page dedicated to Phuket news, shows the heated altercation taking place in the bustling tourist area, drawing widespread concern about the impact on Phuket's image as a prime travel destination. Attribution of blame and a call for stricter law enforcement have dominated discourse following the incident.
The video was posted on the โหดจัง จังหวัดภูเก็ต Facebook page, quickly drawing attention for the chaotic behaviour captured on one of Phuket's most famous streets.
While the exact cause of the disagreement remains unclear, the video shows two individuals engaged in a physical brawl, surrounded by onlookers amidst the nightlife district. It's triggered a flood of commentary online, with worries mounting over how such incidents might tarnish the reputation of this popular holiday spot.
Concerns are rife, with many fearing these scenes could skew perceptions of tourist-friendly Phuket. Comments flooded in with one user lamenting, “This kind of behaviour is not what Phuket stands for. Outsiders might think poorly of us due to actions like these.” Others emphasised the detrimental effect on local businesses and the livelihoods dependent on a solid tourist trade.
Yet, amid the criticism, a significant number of reactions called for a balanced approach. While some demand immediate, stringent law enforcement, others stressed the importance of distinguishing the actions of individuals from a broader community.
A recurring sentiment urged that equality should be maintained, even as authorities address specific misconducts. As one user said, “Let’s tackle this issue by focusing on individuals, not entire groups.”
As the video circulates widely, the pressure mounts on local authorities to address public concerns effectively. How Patong's law enforcement agencies choose to respond remains a topic of intense interest as residents and tourists await decisive action. The incident highlights the delicate balance between maintaining order and respecting diverse communities in one of Thailand’s top tourist destinations.
Viewer discretion is advised

Relax. Dial your outrage back a bit.
Those aren't explosives. They aren't even "grenades".
Those are inert mortar rounds, probably left over, picked up, from the Vietnam War & all the little messes afterwards.
There are no explosives inside, and they don't have fuses to make them explode. It is obvious because the mortars are sitting on their noses where the fuses would be screwed-in to arm them.
They are as dangerous as scrap metal.
This jug-head probably wanted to bring some souviners home. Whether legal or not, they are not active explosives.
Agree the amount of morons here is always astounding . They are inert rounds for display or paper weights . Just stupid of him to try and bring on a plane

There aren't any direct flights from the states to Thailand anyway. But maybe this is why they stopped. I remember THAI stopped LAX-BKK direct flights during the pandemic. Before that I think they had direct flights.
This article could use a bit more context.
Yes I flew direct NYC to BKK a couple times on Thai airways but that stopped a while ago .

I was there for NYE just this year. Still great. My first address in Bangkok was at the Chi de mansion at the bottom of Soi 11.I never saw so many great restaurants on one street in my life. And I am from Manhattan.
I could have Peruvian sushi, good Jamaican food, or an Ethiopian vegan platter, all within three minutes of each other.
I ate at above 11 bar at least twice a week.
Charcoal, a true five star Indian restaurant is in the same building. Mark Wiens has a great video of them making the world‘s biggest Nan bread.
Manhattan I'm also NYC grew up in Brooklyn and Queens . Bangkok is a Great food city ! If it wasn't for the pollution I would live here full time . Currently back in NYC 👍🏼

Police in Bangkok’s Makkasan district have taken legal action against a group of Chinese nationals, who rented several water trucks and used high-pressure hoses to spray other Songkran revellers, posing a serious safety risk.
According to a report by Channel 7, the youths, believed to have rented five water trucks, sat atop the vehicles and sprayed powerful jets of water at pedestrians and motorcyclists in the RCA entertainment zone, as well as in the Sukhumvit and Sanam Luang areas.
The incident quickly went viral on Thai social media, with popular Facebook pages Drama Addict and The Momentum warning of the potential danger. Videos showed distressed passers-by pleading with the youths to stop, only to be ignored, possibly due to language barriers, according to The Momentum.
Responding to public concern, Drama Addict later posted an update: “Regarding news that Chinese people rented trucks to spray water in celebration of Songkran, disturbing residents in the Makkasan zone, Makkasan Police Station would like to inform that they have taken action.”
Makkasan Police confirmed that legal proceedings are underway.

Perhaps you should review the dissolution of democratic rights rights in the EU.
Simply expressing disagreement with the govt can now earn jailtime and national censorship. Or you don't think what's happening in the UK, Germany, and France counts?
And you aren't aware of how democracy is alive in the US? Didn't Trump just get (re)elected and sworn-in as President "47?

The Thai baht is expected to plunge to an alarming 34.50 per US dollar following the US's unexpected announcement of a hefty 37% reciprocal tariff on Thai imports.
On Thursday, the baht staggered to its weakest in two and a half months, recording a value of 34.38 per dollar in trading, primarily due to these severe trade measures.
Kanjana Chockpisansin from Kasikorn Research Center, Thailand, shared that the latest tariff decisions might drive the baht further downwards.
The surprising 37% tariff, significantly above the anticipated 10-25% range, is likely to erode investor trust and stir a ‘risk-off’ sentiment amongst investors.
This approach may accentuate economic woes, with greater pressure anticipated for the baht against the dollar, even amidst a rise in global gold prices, traditionally seen as a financial safe haven.
As the baht flittered between 34.07 and 34.45 per dollar post-announcement, analysts note the unsettling environment across markets.
Krungthai Global Markets noted the baht began Thursday at 34.38 per dollar, recording a notable drop from the prior day’s 34.16, highlighting forex volatility.
While the 37% tariff sits below American predictions of a towering 72%, it surpasses market assumptions, leading to intensified market uncertainty and heightened risk aversion amongst investors.
Pipat Luengnaruemitchai of Kiatnakin Phatra Financial Group urged the importance of strategic negotiations to dampen these tariff impacts. Internal and external discussions, particularly those targeting critical economic spheres like agriculture, food, energy, and finance, may be pivotal.
The Thai government's task is now to smartly navigate looming opportunities and threats in light of this significant US tariff challenge.
In summary, the baht's facing a tumultuous path ahead, with potential to dip further if strategic measures aren't promptly deployed.
The situation underscores the volatile nature of international trade and finance, demanding vigilant and tactful economic diplomacy to safeguard Thailand's financial stability amidst US tariff frictions.

Lewis Green, a 22-year-old traveller from Staffordshire, endured a harrowing ordeal after being incarcerated and mistreated in a Thai jail. Set against the backdrop of a two-month solo adventure in Thailand, Green's nightmare began on 24th January in Hua Hin, merely a day before he was due to return home.
Green's horrifying account unveils a narrative of being drugged, beaten, and starved while shackled in a squalid police cell. He alleged that he was forced to consume his own urine from the cell floor due to dehydration and lack of clean water. The young tourist, who sustained serious injuries including fractured ribs and a broken wrist, contends he was targeted and possibly spiked with the hallucination-inducing drug Dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
Reflecting on his grim experience, Green recalled, "They flooded the cell and I had no option but to drink the filthy water. I was handcuffed and left to deteriorate without food or care."
His ordeal reportedly extended beyond physical abuse. Speaking from the UK, Green explained that ultimately, he managed to buy his release for an eye-watering payment of £7,000 (307,000 Baht).
Green's arrest spiralled into chaos following a dispute at a cannabis dispensary. Though he vividly recalls arguing with the dispensary's owner, the precise details of his arrest remain blurred. Despite being cleared of taking illegal substances, Green expressed his disbelief over an unfounded car theft accusation, stating, "I didn’t steal the car. I was incapacitated and unaware of what was happening."
His release only came after further payments, including £4,500 (198,000 Baht) in fines and £1,700 (74,000 Baht) in compensation to the car's owner.
In the wake of Green's detention, his family mobilised rapidly. His father, Peter, flew to Thailand, while his mother, Colleen Wilding, liaised with the British Embassy and local police. "It was his dream trip," lamented Wilding. "But our fears grew when communication ceased."
Back in England, Green sought medical treatment, revealing not just physical injuries but also dramatic shifts in his mental state. This led to his temporary admission to a psychiatric hospital for detailed evaluation. reported DAily Mail.
Amidst this turbulent saga, warnings about tourist safety in Thailand persist. Notably, the Foreign Office highlights issues of drink and vape spiking, underscoring the plight of travellers like Green.
Determined to turn this experience into a cautionary tale, the Green family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support his recovery and to alert others of potential risks abroad. As Lewis Green focuses on healing, his story serves as a stark reminder of the complex and often perilous realities facing international tourists, reported The Thaiger.
