  1. A damn site more than they spend on combating PM2.5
  2. You have a point there, and who says crime doesn't pay.... welcome to Thailand.
  3. Police Lieutenant General Saksira Phueak-am presided over a workshop aimed at preventing tourist exploitation, including 80 local taxi drivers and vendors. Welcome to rip-off Thailand....
  4. Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva has taken a firm stance, announcing that his party will not join any coalition with "family-run" parties or those fostering social division. Good luck going alone then....
  5. A Thai prime ministerial candidate has reignited debates on gender equality by proposing that women be allowed to have up to four husbands with mutual consent. I guess with the cost of surgery, cosmetics, spa treatments and the ever increasing cost of branded goods one sponsor is not enough.
  6. With the general election just weeks away, Thai political parties are unveiling strategies to boost the economy, taking aim at the tourism industry's long-standing structural issues. Allowing millions of piss-heads in to bolster numbers ?
  7. Thai authorities are launching an investigation into shocking claims of a police-linked network allegedly orchestrating the escape of over 100 Chinese detainees from immigration custody. The detainees reportedly fled to third countries, avoiding extreme punishments. This network allegedly involved corrupt officials, brokers, lawyers, and accomplices from both Thailand and China. Allegedly. Lol
  8. Despite being ordered to exit at the next station, the man continued to insult Thais via livestreaming. His wife also reportedly joined in the verbal assaults. At the station, the confrontation peaked with the man causing further damage before being removed by authorities. Six months in detention centre to dry out, then deport him.
  9. Looking at the look on hid face he's not a happy bunny, and about to pay dearly for his mis-deeds in life.
  10. Thailand can only launch Lanterns or fireworks... and that doesn't always go well. India was probably chosen as a package deal for more tourists
  11. Some traffic lights wouldn't go amiss...
  12. Seeing that the car could no longer be driven, the suspect abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. Would that be Mr Long Gone ?
  13. Pheu Thai has laid out an ambitious vision to turn Chiang Mai into a leading example of inclusive growth. In a public forum attended by prime ministerial candidates Yodchanan Wongsawat and Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the party engaged with the LGBTQIA+ community, cultural workers, and business leaders to discuss innovative policies. The aim is to integrate creative industries, cluster tourism, and educational reform to boost economic growth and embrace diversity. I wonder how many of the voters got diddled out of their 10K We all know how long promises last.
  14. Sadly the good ole days have been taken over by drug addicts...
  15. Thailand's first domestically built Earth observation satellite, THEOS-2A, failed to reach its intended orbit after launching from India on Monday. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed that an anomaly occurred during the launch sequence, impacting the rocket's flight path and preventing the satellite from achieving its goal. I hope they had comprehensive insurance cover.
  16. He faces charges for driving under the influence, use of a Category 1 drug, and public indecency, carrying potential penalties of up to one year in prison and fines reaching 20,000 baht. A year in the slammer with some new friends should help himgrow-up
  17. Thailand is debating a potential social media ban for those under 16, inspired by Australia's recent implementation. The Online Safety Amendment Bill in Australia restricts access to platforms like TikTok and Instagram to tackle digital addiction and harmful content. This initiative prompts Thailand to explore similar measures to protect its youth. Any minister who pushes for this will be out of work within a week... if run as a part of the election campaign they can get their CV ready now
  18. A Thai English teacher addressed a viral complaint by a Filipina tourist about the lack of English comprehension in Thailand. In her response, the teacher emphasised respect and cultural understanding more than language proficiency. Which is why Thailand is still in the dark ages... plus Thailand wants workers ants who ask no questions, just do as you're told, no need for language proficiency.
  19. Authorities in Ratchaburi have launched inspections and pricing controls at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market after tourists complained of excessively priced food, including a 400-baht plain omelette and a 1,400-baht egg fried rice. The case triggered widespread criticism online and prompted intervention by provincial commerce officials and police to protect tourists and the market’s reputation. I visited there a few years ago, the whole place is a rip-off... food, vendors, river-side stall owners. whatever you do don't set-foot in a boat for a tour..
  20. Mrs A further claimed that information from TikTok activity and confessions from former associates revealed that her husband had been given a “sexual stimulant” to induce obsession and impaired judgement. More like the smell of some young kitty
  21. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has appointed global superstar Lalisa Manobal, known as LISA, as its Amazing Thailand Ambassador for 2026, aiming to generate record tourism revenue of at least 3 trillion baht this year. And that's just from pork-ball sales.
  22. A tourist speedboat collided with a fishing boat near Phi Phi Island on 11 January 2026 at about 9.10am. • All 55 people on board the speedboat were rescued and taken safely ashore, with some injuries reported Welcome to sunny Thailand, take a trip with a suicide jockey... pray and hope for the best
