Amnesty International has criticized Thailand's human rights record, calling it "poor." It urged the Thai government to dismiss all charges against young protestors. In its report, The State of the World’s Human Rights: April 2024, Amnesty status that despite a change in leadership, the children's rights in the country continue to be marginalized especially for those involved in protests against the government.
In a review of human rights issues across 155 countries in 2023, Thailand was accused of deploying intimidation, surveillance and laws to suppress student protests and curb dissent.
Piyanuch Kotsan, director of Amnesty International Thailand, during the report’s unveiling, requested the clearing of all legal accusations against children involved in peaceful protests. "We urge the Thai government to drop all legal actions against child protestors accused of being a part of peaceful gatherings or exercising their freedom of speech," she stated.
Thai Lawyers for Human Rights also noted that since the 2020 demonstrations against the government started, almost 300 children have faced charges out of nearly 2,000 accused. Many were charged by using an emergency law that prohibits public assemblies due to the Covid-19 pandemic, or charges related to sedition and violation of Thailand’s lèse-majesté law that outlaws criticism of the monarchy or royal family members.
A 15-year-old girl, Thanalop Phalanchai, was one of those charged and detained for 51 days for participating in a 2022 rally where she demanded the lèse-majesté law be abolished.
Despite the termination of military rule, Piyanuch stressed that Thailand's human rights status is still worrying. Amnesty is lobbying the Pheu Thai government to consistently safeguard children's rights during peaceful public events.
Last year, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin promised at the UN General Assembly in the US to promote equality, justice, human rights, human dignity, and speech freedom in Thailand. "We aim to bolster the rule of law and enhance government transparency. We will ensure that the law is fair, strictly implemented, and applicable to everyone equally," the PM promised.
The Thai government is currently applying for the third time to join the UN Human Rights Council.

Prime Minister Apologizes to Panpree and Promises to Take Responsibility for Consequences
Today, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has announced that he will bear all consequences of his decision to sack Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara from his post as the deputy prime minister. This decision led to Parnpree stepping down as the foreign minister.
"I apologized to Parnpree through a Line chat, expressing regret if my decision has caused him distress," the Prime Minister reported to the press. He highlighted that he respects Parnpree's choice to quit and stressed that he has known Parnpree for a long time and there are no personal issues between them.
Thavisin explained that getting upset with changes in the cabinet is not unusual. He justified his decision, stating that it was driven by the nation's best interest. Currently, he is in the process of deciding who will be the country's next foreign minister, indicating that the candidate would be a long-time affiliate of the Pheu Thai party.
Following the announcement of the cabinet adjustment in the Royal Gazette, Parnpree confirmed that he was resigning as the foreign minister. Although he was relieved of his role as the deputy prime minister, he would still have held onto his foreign ministry post.
As a significant member of the ruling Pheu Thai party for a long time, Parnpree stated that his resignation was based on "principles". He submitted a two-page resignation letter to Thavisin, but did not elaborate on his reasons.
In an interview, Parnpree expressed his idea that stripping him of the deputy prime minister post affected his reliability, notably at a global level. He voiced confidence that his prior performance in office had nothing to do with his dismissal.
Parnpree indicated that he is completely dedicated to serving the country and expressed hope that the cabinet rearrangement would result in a more open and favorable government.
Some political analysts highlighted Parnpree’s reference to his home in Soi Rachakru, also the old residence of ex-Prime Minister Chatichai Choonhavan. They believe Parnpree was reminding people of his close relationship with Chatichai, strengthened by Parnpree's marriage to one of Chatichai's granddaughters. Analysts believe his resignation may have undermined the Thavisin administration's credibility.
The Pheu Thai party's secretary general, Sorawong Thienthong, commented that Parnpree might be offered an advisory role but clarified that the decision to accept would be up to Parnpree.
As the foreign minister, Parnpree had been the face of Thailand and the government on the international stage.

Foreign Minister, Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, has announced his resignation from his post without revealing the specific reasons, except saying he wants to "uphold his principles". His resignation coincides with a cabinet reshuffle published in the Royal Gazette, which leads to his demotion from the deputy premiership but keeps him in the foreign minister role.
Parnpree stated his belief that his past roles as the deputy prime minister and foreign minister significantly benefited the country. “I have applied myself fully to my job and carried out my responsibilities effectively," he noted.
Parnpree also mentioned he hasn't informed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin about his decision, which is effective immediately. He expressed assurance that a capable person will be appointed for both key positions.
When questioned about his future involvement with the Pheu Thai party, where he is a senior member, Parnpree responded that he remains fond of the party but isn't certain about his next steps. He will need some time to come to a decision.
His letter of resignation became popular on social media. When quizzed about the validity of the two-page letter addressed to the Prime Minister, he confirmed it, saying it was "more than real".
He outlined accomplishments within the letter, including negotiations for the release of 23 Thai hostages in Israel and the return of 8,000 Thais from Israel to Thailand. Apart from enhancing relationships with international entities such as the ASEAN, EU, India, and major global powers, he also launched visa-free agreements with some countries.
He expressed optimism that the cabinet reshuffle will lead to a more effective and transparent national administration, which will benefit the country. Lastly, He expressed his gratitude to the premier for the opportunity to serve in the government.

India and Thailand Prepare to Introduce QR Code Payments Across Borders
The Bank of Thailand (BoT) plans to launch cross-border QR code payments between Thailand and India this year, with future ambitions to widen this system into a multi-country payment network across Asia.

The Bank of Thailand (BoT) plans to launch cross-border QR code payments between Thailand and India this year, with future ambitions to widen this system into a multi-country payment network across Asia.
Daranee Saeju, Assistant Governor for Payment Systems Policy and Financial Consumer Protection Group at the BoT, confirmed that the partnership with India is set to start in the third quarter of this year. This development results from collaborations with nations beyond the ASEAN group.
QR code cross-border payments have already been established with several countries, like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Japan, using Thailand's national digital payment platform, PromptPay, which started in 2016.
Singapore's connection, for instance, includes both QR code payments and money transfer services. Daranee noted that the future plan involves incorporating money transfers across different regions via multi-country connections, enhancing the efficiency of payment systems beyond the current setup of agreements between two countries.
The initiative to transfer money across borders, which was initially launched with Singapore, is expected to expand to other regional countries, Daranee said.
She also predicted that PromptPay could set a new transaction record this year, following its record-setting performance in 2023. PromptPay transactions have increased steadily since the platform's launch in 2016, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Since PromptPay was introduced, cash transactions have decreased to around 66% of total bank transactions."
As of now, PromptPay has 77.6 million users. It saw a record 75.9 million financial transactions per day in December last year. On a daily basis, around 54.5 million money transfers were made through PromptPay last year, totaling 130 billion baht, according to the Bank of Thailand's Payment Insight report as reported by the Bangkok Post.

After 19 years on the run, 43-year-old Sunisa Chongjit was arrested outside her home in Kanchanaburi by the Metropolitan Police Bureau. Chongjit, a fugitive, was captured for drug possession and the intent to sell.
The Metropolitan Police finally apprehended Chongjit, who had been evading law enforcement for nearly two decades. She was faced with charges dating back to 2004 for possessing and intending to distribute methamphetamine.
Chongjit was only months away from her case's statute of limitations expiring. This arrest now brings an end to the lengthy pursuit by the police.
In 2003, she was first arrested in a drug sting operation run by officers from Wat Phraya Krai station, alongside other associates. However, after posting bail during her trial, she chose to go on the run.
For 19 years, she lived a low-profile life. To stay under the radar, she went from place to place and took on jobs that didn’t require background checks. This helped her avoid attracting attention due to her criminal background.
Chongjit was finally caught in Kanchanaburi, which was where her trail had gone cold. She admitted to intentionally avoiding jail and choosing a fugitive's life after her arrest.
As Khaosod reports, she is now in custody waiting for the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court to resume legal proceedings against her.
Her arrest underscores the Metropolitan Police's commitment to bringing those who attempt to evade justice to account, no matter how much time has passed. This case also shows the importance of ensuring that fugitives aren't able to use the statute of limitations to escape punishment.

A 25-year-old Thai tattoo artist, identified as Wasin, was apprehended by local police in Phuket, Thailand, yesterday over a rape case filed last year. The crime had left the 13-year-old victim suffering severe genital injuries that resulted in the removal of her womb.
Officers detained Wasin on April 25th in his rented room in Soi Phoe Gui, On Mae Luan Road, on the same day as his 25th birthday. Proceeding from the rape case lodged at Thakham Police Station a year ago, the young girl reported to police that Wasin befriended her on Facebook and offered to tattoo her for just 400 baht. She believed him to be sincere as he had over 7,000 followers on his Facebook page.
After her arrival at Wasin's studio in the Rama II neighborhood in Bangkok, he closed the studio under the pretense of focusing on her tattoo. He subsequently lured her to the second floor, where he raped her repeatedly.
The girl stayed silent about the assault. One month later, she was found to have a vaginal infection that had spread to her uterus. The discovery was only made when severe abdominal pains led to her hospitalization, prompting the family to inform the police. She underwent immediate surgery to remove her uterus and subsequently filed a police complaint after a three-week treatment period.
Thakham Police Station initially summoned Wasin for an inquiry. However, he did not comply and instead fled to Phuket. The case's jurisdiction was then moved to the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau (IDMB). His capture was made possible by police tracking him down through his boasting about his amulets and stories to locals.
Upon questioning, Wasin denied the rape allegations, claiming to be in love with the girl and having prior sexual encounters with her. He confessed to having sex with over 100 women, mostly unprotected, asserting that he was not a womanizer but was simply in search of his "soul mate." He also admitted contracting sexually transmitted diseases in the past, insinuating that the girl's medical condition might not have been related to him.
The accused revealed a prior charge for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old minor. He had settled by paying 70,000 baht to the victim's family. He disclosed that he went into hiding in Phuket because of the allure of high income as a tattoo artist and the anonymity afforded by the influx of tourists.
Wasin now faces three criminal charges: raping a minor of 15 years or less, punishable by life imprisonment; abduction of a minor from parental or guardian custody, which could result in two to 10 years imprisonment plus fines; and luring someone for lascivious activities using deceit or force, carrying a possible sentence of one to 10 years imprisonment and additional fines.

A video circulating on social media showing a foreign couple neglecting a motorcyclist they hit with their luxurious car in Phuket, Thailand, has led to public outrage. The incident occurred on April 25, when the couple, driving a white Mercedes Benz, made a right turn without signaling, causing a collision with an oncoming motorcyclist.
The impact threw the motorcyclist across the car, and he later fell on the road. Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet, which likely saved him from a serious head injury. Instead of checking on him, the foreign couple focused on inspecting their car's damage, seemingly disregarding the injured individual.
The vicinity of the accident is believed to be around a Vivi Hotel in the Rawai district of Phuket, according to a Thai social media user. The couple are suspected to have been hotel guests there.
The video generated significant responses from Thai social media users after being posted, which resulted in over 3,900 reactions and 500 comments. Many users expressed their resentment towards the couple's behavior.
The news coverage does not provide further updates about whether the couple helped the injured motorcycle rider or if they are facing charges for their actions.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare

Foreigners resident in Thailand are beginning to feel a financial strain due to the UK government's pension freeze policy. Three British individuals have experienced this challenge, providing insights about a difficult reality that contrasts sharply with the country's sunny appeal.
John Jones, 77, had enjoyed a lively international lifestyle but now, due to the frozen pension policy, his retirement plans are suffering. Residing in rural Thailand, Jones struggles with a heart condition adding to his financial woes.
Rising living costs are hitting him particularly hard. According to Jones, market items that were affordable thirteen years ago now seem overly expensive. The budget constraints hinder any saving capacities and he lives quite a simple life.
His fellow Briton, Jeffrey Barnes, 77, from Offham, Kent, shares a similar fate. Although receiving a comfortable private pension, the unfairness of the frozen state pension policy aggravates him.
Meanwhile, 55-year-old Linz Gelthorpe and his 61-year-old wife, Julie, find their dream relocation to Thailand tarnished by unforeseen financial challenges.
The problem lies in the UK Government’s position to freeze state pensions for its nationals living in non-European countries like Thailand. The policy precludes them from receiving the annual increment accessible to those residing in the UK. Reportedly, it affects over 480,000 globally.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), despite mounting criticism, stands by this policy, asserting that it has been in place for over 70 years. However, this isn't much consolation for the British foreigners who are still managing these financial realities.

Japanese gang members escape to Laos after a killing in Nonthaburi
Authorities in Thailand have named two Japanese individuals in connection with a horrific murder case of a compatriot. The accused, who are also recognized as members of a top yakuza gang in Japan, have fled to Laos. Thai officials are now working with counterparts in Laos to arrange their extradition.
The incident came to light following the discovery of human body parts in a forest in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok, which were identified as those of 47-year-old Japanese man, Kabashima Ryosuke.
A local Thai man, 30-year-old Kritsakorn “Game” Jaiphitak, was apprehended by police in connection with the case. Game revealed the identity of the culprits as Japanese nationals, Kato Takuya, aged 50 and 28-year-old Suzuki Hiroto. While Game admitted to aiding in the disposal of the body, he denied any responsibility for the murder.
ThaiRath confirmed on April 26, that the Japanese suspects had entered Laos by boat, via the Nakhon Phanom border. Thai authorities suspect the two are currently hiding in the Thakhek District, Khammouane province, Laos.
The suspected murderers are allegedly associated with a prominent yakuza gang in Japan and are wanted by Japanese law enforcement agencies. One is reported to be a vice president of the gang, accused of operating illegal businesses in Thailand for a considerable period. The murder victim, Ryosuke, was also believed to be a member of this gang, and his death is suspected to be gang-related.
Game, the local Thai suspect, has been denied bail due to the seriousness of the crime and has been moved from Bang Bua Thong Police Station to Nonthaburi Provincial Court for temporary detention.
Game's father, in an interview with ThaiRath, shared his son was employed by the Japanese suspects for a good wage of 1,000 baht per day. However, he was unsure about his son's involvement in the murder or the illicit businesses.

The travel website Agoda has noted a surge in interest for Thailand among Japanese vacationers. With Japan's Golden Week holiday nearing, Thailand has become the second favorite destination for these tourists, with South Korea being the first.
This year, the extended Golden Week holiday starts on Monday, April 29, and will last until May 6. According to an article in the Bangkok Post, Agoda users from Japan have increased their searches for Thailand by 60% from January to mid-March, 2024, when compared to the same timeframe last year. Taiwan follows Thailand in popularity, with the US and Vietnam taking the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
Popular cities like Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui continue to attract Japanese travelers. However, interest in other places such as Chon Buri and Khao Lak is also growing, according to Pierre Honne, a senior director at Agoda. He stated, "Japanese travelers are exploring more of Thailand, extending trips beyond its traditional hotspots like Bangkok and Pattaya to discover Chon Buri and the coastline of Khao Lak."

The Vibharam Hospital, a private healthcare facility in Bangkok, was fined 100,000 baht for not treating a critically injured patient who later succumbed to his injuries. The hospital previously rejected another fatally injured individual.
The incident states that the Emergency Medicine Committee (EMC) imposed the penalty on the hospital for failing to provide treatment to a policeman. The police officer was hit by a vehicle not far from the hospital, while on duty.
Evidence shared with the EMC, including witness accounts, showed that the hospital twice declined the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) unit's plea to treat the officer. Consequently, the injured officer had to be taken to another hospital where he was eventually declared dead.
The EMC stated that the hospital was obliged to provide treatment to the injured person given the critical nature of the emergency. The committee members recognized this incident as the second instance where the hospital declined to treat a severely injured patient.
In a similar case from December last year, the hospital refused to treat a Taiwanese tourist who was injured by a car while crossing the road. The tourist had to be taken to a different hospital where he later died from his injuries.
