Many petty crimes are resolved in this manner in Thailand, fines and release.

He did not try to flee the scene, rather he cooperated with the police.

It is also possible that the victim did not want to file a criminal complaint.

As you said, she got her phone back, he made a dumb mistake, a fine and all's well.

Yup. As I write  , 30% of the local Big C  car park has been cordoned off to make a mini Jurasic park. Half a dozen large model dinosaurs with sound effects , a dinosaur bouncy castle and a few T shirt stands. Total flop. Ignored by one and all.

Enjoyed by those with a mental age of around 5 ... I don't understand why thousands didn't turn up.

The head of Hat Wanakorn National Park, Suporn Phonpan, stated that recent monitoring efforts have revealed significant coral bleaching in the shallow reefs surrounding these islands. The phenomenon, exacerbated by June’s low sea levels, poses a threat to the marine ecosystem and presents safety risks for tourists.

 

“To prevent further ecological damage and ensure the safety of visitors, we have decided to temporarily close Ko Chan and Ko Thai See to all diving and snorkeling activities,” Phonpan said.

Maybe in his capacity of head of the national park he can explain how taking the measures he has of closing the area will help anything?

The National Statistical Office (NSO), together with the Institute for Population and Social Research at Mahidol University and the Thailand Health Promotion Foundation, has initiated the first official survey geared towards the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand. The study, running from June to September, aims to collect detailed data to improve services and inform policies for the LGBTQ+ individuals.

And then do nothing... money well spent.

About 30 years too late....now it's boring.

Thailand’s prolonged political crisis and poor management of the economy over the past few decades have taken a huge toll on the country’s growth.

Now it relies only on tourism and the sex trade.

Reform of education system is critical.  Maybe foreign teachers should be considered experts in subjects necessary to helping Thailand's education system.  Just a thought for consideration.

Thailands decades long system of school indoctrination and under educating the masses is now biting them in the arse... the rest of the world has moved ahead with high technology and Thailand is stuck 50 years in the past, with a feudal elite system and a broken government.

The Thai government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is vigorously working to enhance its workforce by attracting skilled foreign professionals

Something the education ministry should be doing.

Lucky she only removed herself from this planet, and didn't take anyone else with her.

A lot of discussion about what? It´s just to take a look at the picture, and the answer is very clear.
