The Ministry of Interior Regulation on Family Registration (No.4) 2025 is designed to accommodate same-gender families, including those engaged or married, as explained by deputy government spokesperson Karom Polpornklang. In the updated regulation, terms such as “man,” “woman,” “husband,” “wife,” and “husband and wife” have been replaced by “person,” “fiance,” “fiancee,” and “spouse.” According to Karom, these changes will impact family registration and recording systems in district offices under the Interior Ministry. The ministry has revised the system to facilitate the registration of marriages and divorces for same-sex couples. The Department of Provincial Administration, serving as the central registrar, has coordinated with registration departments across 878 district offices, 50 district offices in Bangkok, and 94 Thai embassies and consulates globally. These preparations ensure smooth marriage registration processes from tomorrow, reported Bangkok Post. Bangkok Pride expressed its approval of the new regulation through a statement on its Facebook page. “It marks a 104-day wait since the Marriage Equality Law received a royal endorsement on September 24 last year. “The Ministry of Interior has issued the necessary family registration regulations, effective January 23. From this date forward, anyone, regardless of their gender, will truly be able to marry without legal restrictions tied to gender.” The Equal Marriage Bill has been acknowledged by the United Nations as an exemplary non-discrimination policy for other member states to emulate, as per Michaela Friberg-Storey, the UN resident coordinator. During the launch of the Flag of Love Across Thailand campaign at the United Nations Conference Centre on January 13. Friberg-Storey highlighted Thailand’s upcoming milestone tomorrow when it will become the first Southeast Asian nation to legalise same-sex marriage. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-22

Thailand tackles high airfares for Songkran festival By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post The Transport Ministry has directed the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to tackle the high cost of airfares during long weekends and holiday periods, in preparation for the Songkran festival in April.

Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post By Puntid Tantivangphaisal The Transport Ministry has directed the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to tackle the high cost of airfares during long weekends and holiday periods, in preparation for the Songkran festival in April. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit stated yesterday that CAAT has also been instructed to devise long-term measures to control prices, ensuring airfares remain within a reasonable limit while prioritising passenger benefits. In response, CAAT announced plans to manage the expected surge in air traffic during Songkran, advising people to purchase tickets in advance to avoid higher costs closer to the festival. Suriya previously issued a similar order to control air ticket prices before the new year holidays. He mentioned that additional seats were made available during peak travel times to help reduce fares. The ministry reported that this initiative helped decrease prices and boost tourism growth. Between December 26 last year and January 5, at least 70,000 additional seats were offered, resulting in lower ticket prices. The average cost for flights from Bangkok to Chiang Mai dropped to approximately 2,415 baht, compared to 2,729 baht for the same route the previous year. Similarly, flights from Bangkok to Phuket averaged 2,787 baht, down from 2,895 baht a year earlier. A 6.5% increase in domestic flights was recorded during the new year holidays, contributing to more than a 10% rise in domestic passenger numbers. Suriya noted that the country’s tourism industry is in a recovery phase, with domestic air travel surpassing last year’s levels, partly due to tourism promotion measures, reported Bangkok Post.

File photo for reference only A woman took to social media yesterday, detailing her anguish over an unpaid loan she extended to a friend nearly three years ago. The sum, a hefty 880,000 baht, was meant to save her friend's home from financial ruin. Yet as time lapsed, her friend opened a thriving produce market, leaving the woman to manage a high-interest loan on her own. The tale began when the woman used proceeds from her land sale to lend to her friend, a gesture rooted in friendship and trust. Assurances of prompt repayment never materialised, leaving the lender under financial strain. The situation escalated when the friend's mother promised repayment within a month, leading the woman to borrow from an informal lender at steep interest rates. This trust was misplaced, as the friend's mother disappeared, and the debt remained unpaid. Meanwhile, the friend's family seemingly prospered in Sisaket province with their market business. This reality intensifies the lender's sense of betrayal and financial stress. She has now turned to the public, sharing her narrative to highlight the injustices she faces and the emotional wounds left by a friendship tarnished. -- 2025-01-21

File photo for reference only In an intriguing wildlife find, camera traps in Thailand's Kaeng Krachan National Park have captured rare images of dholes, or Asiatic wild dogs, with an unusual pinkish fur. The discovery, made in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Thailand, has thrilled wildlife enthusiasts as these images depict dholes with a striking deviation from their typical reddish-brown coats. The footage, taken in several areas of the park, reveals packs of dholes on the hunt, showcasing normal hunting behaviour. However, what caught the researchers' attention was the unexpected fur colour in at least four individuals. Mongkol Chaiphakdee, head of the national park, confirmed these pink-furred dholes belong to separate packs, dismissing the possibility of inbreeding. The emergence of these visually distinct dholes has prompted researchers to explore the underlying causes, which might include pigmentation variations, genetic anomalies, or even albinism. Some experts propose that this could represent an evolutionary curiosity, enhancing the allure of these seldom-seen predators. The sighting has garnered significant interest, leading to planned studies aimed at understanding the genetic or environmental factors behind this phenomenon. For now, the pink dholes of Kaeng Krachan remain a captivating enigma, sparking imaginations and opening new avenues for conservation study. -- 2025-01-21

Thai Durian Exports Resume After Passing Safety Inspections File photo for reference only Thailand has resumed durian exports to China after ensuring the fruit is free of hazardous Basic Yellow 2 and cadmium contamination. In light of China's recent stringent import regulations, Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Itthi Sirilattayakorn revealed at the Nakhon Phanom border checkpoint efforts to align with Agriculture Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat’s policy.

File photo for reference only Thailand has resumed durian exports to China after ensuring the fruit is free of hazardous Basic Yellow 2 and cadmium contamination. In light of China's recent stringent import regulations, Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Itthi Sirilattayakorn revealed at the Nakhon Phanom border checkpoint efforts to align with Agriculture Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat’s policy. This initiative focuses on providing safe, high-quality fruit for both domestic and international consumers. Starting from January 10, China has mandated strict inspections for Basic Yellow 2 in durians, along with accompanying test reports. As a result, Thailand's Department of Agriculture sprang into action, conducting extensive lab testing at six authorised facilities capable of analysing 700 samples daily. These labs are located in key regions such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with plans to increase capacity to 1,300 samples per day. Yesterday saw the export of six shipments of Thai durians, amounting to 96 tonnes, alongside the required phytosanitary certification through Nakhon Phanom and Chiang Khong checkpoints. Rigorous checks ensure cadmium levels remain below 0.05mg/kg, confirming compliance with China's import standards. Director General Rapipat Chantasrivong stated that the department is committed to avoiding chemical contamination through what's called the "Four No's" policy—no pests, no worms, no unauthorised rights, and no banned chemicals. This regulatory compliance is imperative to preserve Thailand’s reputation in the lucrative durian market, estimated to be worth billions. Through accelerated efforts and collaboration with relevant agencies, the initiative aims to position Thai durians as a top choice globally, enhancing confidence among international trading partners. -- 2025-01-21

Treasure game chaos: Chiang Mai teens warned to stay out By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation Chiang Mai police issued a stern warning to teenagers playing the Jagat Coin treasure-hunting game after reports of property damage and safety risks surfaced.

Photo courtesy of The Nation By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Chiang Mai police issued a stern warning to teenagers playing the Jagat Coin treasure-hunting game after reports of property damage and safety risks surfaced. The popular app, developed in Indonesia, has caused disturbances in the northern province, prompting law enforcement to caution players against trespassing on private property. The warning was posted on the Chiang Mai Police Facebook page after teens were caught entering a private residence on Soi 9, Mool Muang Road, in Sriphum subdistrict, Mueang district. According to Chiang Mai News, the treasure hunters caused significant damage, trampling plants, digging up soil, climbing fences, and breaking into a locked fire extinguisher cabinet. A police red checkpoint box was also vandalised in their quest for the game’s virtual coins. The game, launched in Thailand on January 15, involves players using an app to hunt for Jagat coins in public locations. These virtual treasures can be redeemed for substantial cash prizes: gold coins for 200,000 baht, silver coins for 20,000 baht, and bronze coins for 500 to 2,000 baht each. However, the chaos led Jing Jai Market, a local project, to ban players from its premises and distance itself from the game. Police emphasised that the app lacks Thai partners, complicating efforts to address issues with its developers. They also warned users about hidden subscription fees within the app and the dangers of sharing their location, which could make them targets for robbery or other crimes, reported The Nation. “Players must understand the risks and legal implications. This is not just a harmless game—it can lead to real-world consequences.” The gaming industry contributes significantly to Thailand’s economy, supported by local developers and foreign investments. Games offering real-world rewards, such as Jagat Coin, are appealing to users seeking financial incentives. Concerns over data privacy, subscription scams, and the misuse of location-sharing features expose players to potential crimes like fraud and robbery. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-21

Photo courtesy of Sanook By Puntid Tantivangphaisal A 29 year old factory worker filed a complaint with Pluak Daeng Police Station in Rayong province yesterday, January 20 at 5pm, after being assaulted by a former colleague on a street. The ex-colleague was previously dismissed from their workplace. The incident occurred on a road in Soi Mae Nam Khu 5, Mae Nam Khu subdistrict, Pluak Daeng district, Rayong, where the victim, May, showed reporters the location of the assault. She sustained injuries to her face from the attack. May recounted that while riding her motorcycle back to her accommodation, a car followed her. Upon reaching the location, the car overtook her, and a man accompanied by a woman alighted, kicking her motorcycle over. The man then punched her in the face. May fled to seek help from locals, and after the assault, the attacker threw her motorcycle key into the roadside, making it difficult to retrieve. May identified her assailant as 39 year old Pai, who was terminated from their mutual workplace for sleeping on the job. She speculated that he might hold a grudge against her, believing she was the cause of his dismissal. However, she insisted that his termination was solely due to his misconduct and that she was not involved. Multiple witnesses can attest to his behaviour at work. Rung, a 47 year old local who assisted May, described initially seeing a car following May’s motorcycle. When the male driver exited the car and began attacking May, Rung initially hesitated, thinking it was a domestic dispute. However, when May ran to him for help, he intervened, causing the car’s occupants to flee, reported Sanook. Following the incident, Pluak Daeng police have registered the complaint and will investigate further, collecting evidence to proceed with legal action. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-21

Cyber police arrest Suphan Buri woman for call centre scam By Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Cyber police arrested a 32 year old woman from Suphan Buri for her involvement with a call centre scam that targeted a grandmother and her grandson. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1349482-cyber-police-arrest-suphan-buri-woman-for-call-centre-scam/

Picture courtesy of KhaoSod By Bright Choomanee Cyber police arrested a 32 year old woman from Suphan Buri for her involvement with a call centre scam that targeted a grandmother and her grandson. The scam involved luring victims across the border to Poipet for facial scans, with around 30 people being deceived each month. Yesterday, January 20, Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwpan, Commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, alongside Police Major General Wiwat Kamchamnarn, Deputy Commissioner, directed Police Major General Chatchapandakan Klaiklueng, Acting Commander of Division 3, and Police Colonel Apirak Champarsi, Superintendent of Division 1, to arrest Pimphan. The arrest was made under a warrant issued by the Criminal Court on January 17. Pimphan faces multiple charges, including fraud by impersonation, intimidation, fraudulent computer data entry, and involvement in money laundering schemes. According to Pol. Lt. Gen. Trirong, the case began in early December last year when the victims, a grandmother and her grandson from Udon Thani, were contacted by a gang posing as Department of Special Investigation officers. They were falsely accused of money laundering and coerced into transferring over 3.4 million baht (US$99,910) from their bank account. After reporting the incident to investigators from Division 3, the investigation led to Pimphan, who acted as an agent recruiting people to open mule accounts. She coordinated with a senior gang leader to transport these individuals across the border for facial scans in a neighbouring country. Pimphan admitted to recruiting mule account holders and arranging their transportation to the immigration checkpoint at Khlong Luek. Since November, she had been involved in sending 20 to 30 people each month across the border to withdraw money through facial scanning, reported KhaoSod. She received a fee of 1,000 baht (US$30) per account from the agent. So far, cyber police have issued arrest warrants for 11 individuals involved in this case, with three already apprehended, while efforts continue to locate the others.

Toxic air crisis: 70 provinces choked by dangerous dust levels By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post Thailand woke up to alarming air quality today, with ultrafine dust particles (PM2.5) reaching hazardous levels in 70 of 77 provinces, and Greater Bangkok bearing the brunt of the toxic haze. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1349481-toxic-air-crisis-70-provinces-choked-by-dangerous-dust-levels/

Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Thailand woke up to alarming air quality today, with ultrafine dust particles (PM2.5) reaching hazardous levels in 70 of 77 provinces, and Greater Bangkok bearing the brunt of the toxic haze. The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) revealed that PM2.5 levels surged into the red, or hazardous-to-health, zone in 27 provinces, primarily in central Thailand. At 7am, Samut Sakhon recorded the worst air pollution, with a staggering 144.8 microgrammes per cubic metre (µg/m³) of air – nearly four times the government-set safe threshold of 37.5µg/m³. Bangkok wasn’t far behind, with a PM2.5 reading of 125.1µg/m³, followed by dangerously high levels in nearby provinces: Nakhon Pathom (119.3), Nonthaburi (116.3), and Samut Prakan (115.3). Other areas in the danger zone included Ratchaburi, Ayutthaya, and Sing Buri, all exceeding 100µg/m³. “Prolonged exposure to such pollution can pose severe health risks.” Residents are urged to avoid outdoor activities and to wear masks. Meanwhile, 43 provinces experienced orange-level air quality, classified as harmful to sensitive groups, with readings between 37.7 and 75µg/m³. These included Lopburi, Chon Buri, and Rayong. In contrast, only seven provinces reported air deemed safe. Coastal provinces Phang Nga, Surat Thani, and Chumphon recorded moderate air quality, while Krabi, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, and Mae Hong Son enjoyed good air conditions, with PM2.5 levels as low as 12.4µg/m³ in Mae Hong Son, reported Bangkok Post. With the smog showing no signs of abating, government officials are under mounting pressure to implement measures to curb pollution and protect public health. For now, much of Thailand remains under a choking cloud of toxic air. Agricultural burning, particularly during the dry season, contributes significantly to haze and particulate matter. Vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and construction add to pollution in cities like Bangkok. Government efforts include monitoring air quality, promoting cleaner fuels, and discouraging agricultural burning. However, critics argue that enforcement and proactive policies remain insufficient to tackle the root causes. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-21

Thai thief poses as jogger to steal over 1 million baht from luxury home By Petch Petpailin Photo via DailyNews A thief posed as a resident of a luxury village in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok and pretended to jog around the community before breaking into a home and stealing over 1 million baht in cash and valuables.

Photo via DailyNews By Petch Petpailin A thief posed as a resident of a luxury village in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok and pretended to jog around the community before breaking into a home and stealing over 1 million baht in cash and valuables. The 30 year old homeowner, Kanin Kosonwittayanan, contacted officers from Rattanathibet Police Station to investigate the theft at his home on the afternoon of Friday, January 17. Kanin reported that he returned home from work and was shocked to find both a window and the front door damaged. Kanin stated that the total loss amounted to over 1 million baht. Among the stolen items were designer brand bags, gold accessories, diamond jewellery, cash, and valuable amulets. According to Kanin, the bedrooms of both his parents and himself and his wife were searched, with their belongings scattered across the floor. Unfortunately, Kanin’s home did not have any security cameras installed. The victim was forced to retrieve CCTV footage from a neighbour. The footage captured a suspicious man wearing dark blue sportswear and carrying a small backpack. Kanin suspected the man posed as a jogger, running around to identify empty homes. Kanin explained that no one was at home during the theft. He had gone to work, while his wife and parents were also out. He was the first to return home and discover the break-in. Despite the luxurious nature of the residences and the financial status of the residents, DailyNews reported that the village did not have security guards or a functioning juristic body, which enabled the thief to commit the crime easily. Kanin later learned from a neighbour that he was not the thief’s first victim. Another neighbour also lost valuables in a similar theft. Both neighbours believed the same suspect was responsible for both incidents. As of now, Rattanathibet Police Station has been unable to identify the thief and has not provided any updates to the victim or the media. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-21

Thai man loses 70,000 baht after scammers use fake ID to access his credit card By Petch Petpailin Photo via MGR online A Thai man lost nearly 70,000 baht from his credit card balance after a scammer created a fake ID card, gained access to his mobile phone number, and accessed his credit card.

Photo via MGR online By Petch Petpailin A Thai man lost nearly 70,000 baht from his credit card balance after a scammer created a fake ID card, gained access to his mobile phone number, and accessed his credit card. The 37 year old oil exploration worker in Bangkok, Kittinat, gathered evidence and sought assistance from the Foundation Campaigning to Reclaim Social Justice after suffering the 70,000-baht loss. Kittinat revealed that he became aware of the scam on January 12 when he experienced a loss of phone signal. Kittinat explained that he was unable to use his phone and contacted his service provider to inquire about the issue. The service provider insisted that his phone signal was functioning normally but assured him that a further check would be conducted. Three minutes after his discussion with the mobile service provider, Kittinat received notifications that his credit card was used three times for amounts of 46,964 baht, 10,000 baht, and 10,000 baht. Suspecting foul play, Kittinat contacted the phone service provider again and discovered that his ID card was used to issue a new SIM card with his phone number in the southern province of Krabi. He requested the provider to suspend the signal of the new SIM card temporarily and reported the matter to Bang Khen Police Station. Credit card accessed with OTP The victim continued investigating the matter himself until he obtained a picture of the suspicious couple who requested the new SIM card of his phone number. The couple reportedly claimed that they lost the SIM card. The ID card they used contained all of Kittinat’s information, except the picture, which was of the scammers. The mobile phone service provider’s employee admitted that the suspects did not present a physical ID card but only showed a photograph of the card. Using the SIM card registered with Kittinat’s phone number, the suspects managed to access his credit card by obtaining the one-time password (OTP) sent to the number. Kittinat added that the scammers also attempted to access another credit card but he was able to suspend both his mobile phone number and his credit card in time. Kittinat stated that he could not fathom how his personal information ended up in the hands of the scammer, as he had never lost his ID card or credit card before. As of now, neither the police nor the mobile phone service provider has provided any updates or clarification regarding his case. Consequently, Kittinat approached the foundation and news agencies in the hope that his case would garner more attention from the officials. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-21
