Phuket is grappling with an alarming rise in syphilis cases, with infections now confirmed across all three districts of the island province. The surge has prompted health officials to issue warnings, as it coincides with a resurgence in tourism and increased risky sexual behaviours.

Over 14,000 people lost their lives in motorcycle accidents across the country in 2024 alone. The sheer scale of these deaths highlights an enduring crisis on Thailand's roads, necessitating immediate intervention.

How about real riding lessons, a real qualifying test and mandatory helmet wearing.

Instead of the nonsensical riding test, voluntary helmet wearing and a police force that doesn't force anything.

According to a Mumbai Airport spokesperson, Priyanka was carrying 3.24kg, Ishika had 3.52kg, and Asma 1.86kg, all concealed within their luggage.

Only idiots would continue to try to do this.

Foreign license plates?

Rented by tourists?

Most likely Malaysian plates?

Definitely not from Monaco , where these would not go through as "supercars".

Can someone identify what cars these are?

Two Ferrari's and what looks like a Nissan GT something.

Sounds like a case of "pedal error". He sailed up the road and through the wall thinking he had his brake pedal to the floor.

 

Not an uncommon event.

The place got popular so they jacked up rents and prices but didn't maintain quality.  Now, it's not a good value.

 

All of Thailand could take a lesson here.

 

Yeah, took a once thriving foody area, spiced it up, jacked up the prices and then wondered where everyone went...

In a groundbreaking achievement for Thailand, CP Foods (CPF) is set to send its renowned chicken dish, "Gai Kaphrao" (chicken with holy basil), to astronauts aboard the International Space Station on June 9, 2025. This initiative marks the first-ever delivery of Thai cuisine to space, showcasing the exceptional safety and quality standards of Thai food production.

I'm sure the version sent up to the space station won't be like the street version dished up over here.

Thailand, a perennial magnet for retirees due to its enchanting blend of affordability, warm climate, and vibrant culture, is recalibrating its approach to foreign residents—a shift with significant implications. Known for golden beaches, delectable cuisine, and the famed hospitality that has earned it the moniker, "Land of Smiles," Thailand has historically welcomed foreign retirees with open arms, offering them a slice of tropical paradise that's both accessible and affordable. However, new policies suggest a distinct pivot towards the affluent, leaving many long-time admirers questioning their future in a country once synonymous with retirement tranquillity.

Motorbike taxi drivers in Pattaya are in uproar over the introduction of steep fines for not wearing helmets. The Royal Thai Police began strictly enforcing Section 122 of the Land Traffic Act on June 1st, which mandates helmet use for both riders and passengers. Violators of this rule are now facing fines up to 2,000 baht, with the penalty doubling to 4,000 baht if a passenger is caught without a helmet.

Uproar... then give them uproar.

2,000 baht for each rider and motorcycle impounded for 7 days.

Put-up or shut-up

The biggest beef has to be the return of Thaksin and his constant meddling in politics.
