Man Arrested for Transporting Half-Tonne of Meth in Loei
All he has to do is to admit to it and his sentence will be reduced. At least that’s what happens in most cases. Glad he got caught.

Viral TikTok Clip Fuels Thai-Cambodia Border Tensions
Sounds like the Thais need to be on top of this and respond quickly, not just blaming the others for false news. You know it’s going to happen so you should be prepared.

Thailand Struggles as Vietnam Prioritises Local Tourism
Vietnam is welcoming tourists and Thailand is just expecting them. Big difference.

That bus doesn’t even look safe enough to be on the road, let alone carrying children. RIP

Lost 3 Days, 79-Year-Old Woman Rescued from Forest
Glad they found her and hope she got a good haul. At least she’ll have some great stories to tell about her ordeal.

Tax Break Bonanza: Thais to Benefit from New Foreign Income Rule
I wouldn’t be in a hurry to send my money back Thailand at the rates they are flouting now. Why send it back now. No incentive, except for an ever changing policy.

Philippine Army Probes Hazing Death of Rookie Soldier
Wow. The Thai military should read this. Instead of just getting transferred from your post you get removed until the investigation is complete and then those found guilty will be punished. They usually just pay off the family here and may move those involved to inactive posts. TIT but should end.

Son needs a Visa to help care for his Father in Pattaya
Well this definitely brings up the fact that they need to have some sort of special visa for this exact reason. The retirees are getting older by the day and this can happen without any notice. Plus No one knows how long this will last. He may get better sooner than expected or it may take longer. There should be an option. Having a family member there after you just went through a major medical issue. My only issue is that one person that tries to use this as a get around, but if checks are in place, this could be feasible. Good luck to the family.

Pattaya Gridlock Sparks Urgent Transport Solutions
With their impressive construction record I’d be very scared of this as well. They had their chance during Covid to clean some things up and they couldn’t even do it then. Now it’ll be a pure drawn out nightmare.

Ceasefire's Fragility: Thai and Cambodian Economies at Stake
Amazing Thailand. Even during the war they are still trying to predict their tourism numbers. What a bunch of Twaps. Worry about your numbers after the disspute/war has ended and not a day before. They should really hold off here and focus on some other “big groups “ causing Thailand’s downfall. They have more than enough ammunition work with here.

Gunman Opens Fire at Festival in Nakhon Si Thammarat — One Dead, Eight Injured
The Thais are just starting to get guns more readily than before. It used to be death by axe, fruit knife, machetes, poison , swords, etc. Now with the ease of getting a gun and using it, I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse, especially with the younger generation and the slap on your wrist justice here. Sad

Thai Woman's Private Photos Stolen: Staff at Phone Store Suspected
Unfortunately not everyone is so handy with their phone settings. I’m sure I hit the wrong button many times and have no clue to get it back to the safe mode.

Jailed Myanmar Student Dies, Becomes Symbol of Defiance
Now that’s where we should be sending Greta. She claims to be risking her safety to help the, but doesn’t hold a candle to this young lady. RIP

Ha Long Bay Tragedy Highlights Need for Maritime Safety Overhaul
Well they are certainly becoming much more like Thailand as the tourism growth continues. Hopefully they can, and will, fix things properly and not become more and more like Thailand. If they don’t learn from Thailand’s mistakes, they will only suffer the same fate in years to come.

Rare Black Panther Spotted Strolling in Kaeng Krachan, Delights Tourists
I wish they would stop putting the location where it was seen. Just state the fact that it was seen in the park. We don’t want any idiots out there searching for a medicinal cure, money or a prize hunt and decimate what few we have left.

Too many unknowns to comment.

North Korea Shuts Doors to Foreign Tourists at New Seaside Haven
They probably read about how well the Russian tourists were behaving in other Asian countries. Always a few nut cases to ruin it for the rest.

Pattaya Police Crack Down on Roadside Vendors Amid Traffic Chaos
They will never be able to stop this unless they have a place for them to go, and even then there’s nothing stopping them to do it again. Like a poster said if they fine them and just let them stay nothing will be accomplished. Every big festival or event they set up spaces along the beach next to the sidewalk. Why can’t they just allow them to do it every day. At least they are off the streets and can still make a living. Simple solutions are not used in Thailand unfortunately.

Thai Hotels Warn of Job Cuts Amid Proposed Wage Hike
They are just too greedy. They increase the prices for a rooms by at least 1,000 baht, usually much more during high season and any holidays, but don’t want to pay the staff 50 baht more a day? The costs go up, the rooms go up and the living expenses go up so should the workers pay. Unfortunately the ones who are not doing their jobs well may be let go, but the ones who put in the most effort should at least have a livable wage.

Pattaya Beach: Locals Unite for Massive Shoreline Cleanup
Why they don’t spend the money on a beach sweepers to clean the whole beach early every morning is beyond comprehension. Once a month just doesn’t cut it.

Eight Soldiers Injured After Army Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing in Ubon Ratchathani
I suggest they take a look at all of their equipment and make sure that it’s all up to par, especially with all that is going on with Cambodia. Maintenance is crucial and we know how well they do that.
