Playing with his grandchildren soon after his release from prison/hospital:

The Medical Council has proposed disciplinary actions against three doctors for providing false information about the treatment of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra during his detention at the Police General Hospital. Prof. Dr. Prasit Watanapa, First Vice President of the Medical Council, said one doctor is proposed to receive a warning for not meeting medical standards, while two others are proposed to have their medical licenses suspended for giving inaccurate information. Prof. Dr. Prasit advised against drawing conclusions about whether Thaksin’s illnesses were genuine, stressing that the available evidence did not clearly support claims of a critical condition. The council will submit its proposal to the Minister of Public Health for further action. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1920411608276480230

Fantastic entertainment. You don't want to miss it. Enjoy.

I believe I heard it in a Tom and Jerry movie but I can't remember the name.

No doubt a bail request is pending. His first offence was back in 2023 where he received a prison sentence of 2 yrs 8 months.

Yes, it should have been mentioned in the article. I'll update it. Smitthiphat Leenawarat, the son of a prominent Pathum Thani politician

Three pages discussing the weather. I'll say no more.

Add this to the list: A bus caught fire while the driver parked the vehicle at a petrol station in Ayutthaya province's Uthai district shortly before 5.30am Monday.

I know which article I believe: Thai economy thrown into disarray by Trump’s tariffs. Exports and Tourism may both be far lower in 2025 Trump’s tariffs create economic turmoil for Thailand, with exports and tourism set to drop sharply in 2025. As the baht strengthens, growth forecasts are slashed, and global tensions escalate. Negotiations with the US are critical for future stability. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2025/04/19/thai-economy-thrown-into-disarray-by-trumps-tariffs-exports-and-tourism-may-both-be-far-lower-in-2025/

Disappeared? Now that is a surprise, The 28 year old son of the mayor of Thanayaburi - Smitthipat Leenavarat, lost his cool and slammed his brand new BMW into a pick-up truck, injuring the driver who ended up in ICU. Smitthipat has reportedly ‘disappeared’ and social media has been digging out his information and was the most read and forwarded news on April 17, 2025. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1913050258923524109

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

Dr. Boon Vanasin, founder of Thonburi Healthcare Group, has been taken into custody and is being extradited to Thailand tonight.

Again, it's not just Songkran, it's every day of the year.

#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
