Does anyone remember this Thai road sign which says 'if you're drunk drive slowly'.

This isn't correct from the Thai Enquirer. Metropolitan police and Crime Suppression Division officers have arrested a female broker in the case of Dr. Boon Vanasin and 16 others for jointly defrauding the public, fraudulently borrowing money from the public, and other related offenses. The total damage is estimated at approximately 14,264 million baht (approximately $400 million USD). Ms. Thitiporn is one of three suspects who fled Thailand. Guangzhou police in China arrested her on March 30 and extradited her back to Thailand late on April 7 https://x.com/KhaosodEnglish/status/1909405799874805899

#ThaiEnquirer News Summary – April 4, 2025 · ‘Reciprocal Tariff’ is @ 37% not 36% Donald Trump’s graphic that showed 36% tariff for Thailand was WRONG, the paper his administration signed off said 37%. Well, Thailand is not alone, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, uninhabited volcanic islands near Antarctica, covered in glaciers and home to penguins was also slapped with 10% tariff. So, if the penguins are not spared then we are not in that bad shape. GDP set to dip after Tariff kicks in https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1907980375399477644

The steel used in the construction of the collapsed State Audit Office building in Chatuchak came from Sin Ker Yuan, a company which was charged in January for producing substandard steel. Previous investigation by the Ministry of Industry revealed that the rebar produced by the company, located in Ban Khai District, Rayong, did not meet required standards, particularly affecting its strength. The ministry seized 2,441 tons of non-compliant steel, valued at approximately 49.2 million baht, and announced plans to take legal action against the company in January https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906662052925714514

Reports continued to emerge about people leaving buildings, including at least two hospitals, after feeling a tremor this morning. No evacuation orders were given at Taksin Hospital or Police General Hospital, but some medical staff and patients left anyway. They were later told to go back inside. The Thai Meteorological Department said there was no earthquake in Thailand, and aftershocks from Myanmar have not affected Thailand. The PM's Press Office said the cracks reported at Chaeng Watthana Government Complex were already there before. They also stated that each organization decides whether to evacuate, but any such decision should be clearly communicated and based on verified information from official sources. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906595684142502028 The PM has treated herself to a new magic wand: Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra reassured investors about the inspections of buildings and recovery efforts following Friday's earthquake. "I will work tirelessly to resolve the situation and restore normalcy," she added at a Board of Investment seminar. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1906590422446821442

Not sure if this has been posted. One moment please.

Does it really matter. She the PM survives the vote.

Although she wasn't the PM at the time Thaksin was admitted to his luxury hospital suite.

The brain, at that moment, is telling you to eat marmite right now.

OP. Then you're not looking: Khaosod English · 9m BREAKING: Chiang Mai topped the list of the most air-polluted major cities in the world anew on Sunday afternoon, March 23, shortly after 2pm, according to IQAir app. Bangkok is at Number 5. Twenty more cities in #Thailand are also in red today

Also Radio Free Asia Saksith Saiyasombut This is heartbreaking and infuriating - and incredibly shortsighted and narrow-minded. (1/3) The federal grants that fund Radio Free Asia and partner networks were terminated Saturday morning, according to a grant termination notice received by RFA. Jonathan Head Agree wholeheartedly. A terrible move which damages the flow of information in this region, damages US standing, and hands the floor for media influence to China - surely not something @SecRubio wants to see? https://x.com/RadioFreeAsia/status/1901052767080157640

Response to the recent policy announcement by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 1. The Thai Government notes the policy announced by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 and in this regard, the Thai Government has received assurances from the Government of China concerning the safety of the Uyghurs and will continue to follow up on the well-being of this group. The Thai Government has also clarified this matter with countries that have concerns on many occasions. Thailand has always upheld a long tradition of humanitarianism, particularly in providing assistance to displaced persons from various countries for more than half a century and will continue to do so. 2. Thailand has always and will continue to value the long-standing and close treaty alliance with the United States, based on mutual respect and shared strategic interests both at the bilateral and regional levels. https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/response-to-us-announcement-2
