  1. Thai Airways International (THAI) unveiled an ambitious summer schedule set to cover 61 global destinations, including Milan and Oslo. From March 31 to October 26, the airline is not just expanding its wings with a special focus on two brand-new destinations: the fashion capital of Milan and the scenic splendour of Oslo. This strategic expansion includes a significant increase in direct flights to Europe and a robust recovery of routes to China, marking a milestone in THAI’s post-Covid-19 resurgence. Among the highlights, THAI’s intercontinental offerings now boast daily journeys to Munich, Istanbul, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Zurich, Paris, and Perth. Notably, flights to Frankfurt and London will take off twice daily, a testament to the high demand on these routes. The airline is also doubling down on its commitment to Australia with twice-daily flights to Melbourne and Sydney, and a daily service to Perth, ensuring travellers have ample choice for their Down Under adventures. Starting July 1, the daily flights to the newly introduced Oslo and Milan will take off, opening up new avenues for travellers and cementing THAI’s presence in Europe. On the regional front, THAI isn’t holding back either. With triple daily flights to Tokyo (Narita) and Seoul, twice daily to Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka, and Manila, and an increase in flights to Beijing and Shanghai starting July 2, Asia has never been more accessible, reported TTR Weekly. Moreover, the airline will maintain a strong presence in Southeast Asia, with multiple daily and weekly flights to key cities including Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bangkok’s domestic network, boasting nine daily flights to Phuket alone.

  2.

  3. During a routine inspection on Tuesday, officials from the rural highway department and the Huay Yai municipality stumbled upon a makeshift home beneath the Ban Bueng-Map Ta Phut flyover in Huay Yai subdistrict. What started as a simple check quickly escalated into a showdown between 57 year old Saiyut Sithlert and his wife against local authorities, who demanded the immediate evacuation of their makeshift dwelling under the bridge. Delving deeper into the situation, the couple revealed the unconventional origins of their living arrangements, citing familial discord as the catalyst. Strained relationships with their daughter and her spouse left them with nowhere else to turn. Saiyut lamented their inability to find refuge in their daughter’s cramped quarters across the road, thus resorting to the bridge for shelter. Despite Saiyut’s assurances that their stay was temporary, authorities remained resolute in their decision, leaving the family in a state of despair. The looming threat of an impending inspection by the Department of Rural Roads added to their woes, casting uncertainty over their humble abode furnished with necessities and household appliances. However, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged as officials and local leaders granted the family an extension until the end of March, offering a brief respite from imminent eviction, reported Pattaya Mail. Grateful for this compassionate gesture, Saiyut pledged to honour their agreement and vacate the premises, acknowledging the complexity of their predicament. In related news, in a heart-stopping moment near Pattaya City School 7, a dessert vendor witnessed a young woman teetering perilously close to the edge of a footbridge along Sukhumvit Road on February 27. The vendor approached the distressed woman, urging her away from the brink of danger while calling for assistance from the Pattaya City Police. In other news, an unconventional rescue mission took place in Pattaya, where authorities came to the aid of a homeless man drifting in the sea on a self-constructed raft made of plastic bottles. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Pattaya Mail Full story: The Thaiger 2024-03-22 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

  4.

  5. The Appeals Court on Koh Samui convicted yesterday 21 March 2024 the Danish former resort manager Stig Wulff and his wife to two years and five months in prison for fraud in connection with the transfer of shares in the resort, in which the Dane was previously a managing director, from himself and his British partner to his wife. The sentence was a confirmation of the sentence which the Criminal Court on Koh Samui first metered out to the Danish-Thai couple. In Thailand, when the lower court and the appeals court reach the same verdict, the case can under normal circumstances not be appealed once again. The court permitted, however, the lawyer of the Dane, Suwatchai Sawasdi, to post bail for his release during the time until the second case against the Dane will be finished in court next month. While the first case was a criminal case, this second case is a civil lawsuit in which the former partner of the Danish man demands compensation from the Dane and his wife for losing the ownership of their Koh PhangAn property to a local loan shark after they had transferred all the shares to the wife. by Gregers Møller Full story: ScandAsia 2024-03-22 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

  7. VISA WAIVER FOR THAIS GOING TO THE UK | One of the goals of the UK-Thai Strategic Partnership agreement signed with UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron on Wednesday is to allow Thai passport holders visa-free access to the United Kingdom on short-term visits for tourism or business. On Wednesday, Thailand signed a roadmap agreement with the United Kingdom elevating the Western country as a strategic partner. The deal was inked on a flying visit to Bangkok by newly appointed UK Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister, David Cameron. A key upshot of this agreement is that active talks will now focus on granting visa-free access to Thai passport holders in the United Kingdom. It comes with a mounting number of Thais living in the United Kingdom and Brits in Thailand. At the same time, the agreement is coming with rising geopolitical tension in the Indo-Pacific. Part of this week’s agreement was enhanced security cooperation between the two kingdoms. In a significant diplomatic move, Thailand and the United Kingdom have elevated their bilateral relationship to a strategic partnership. This has been described as a roadmap for closer ties between the countries. In Bangkok, on Wednesday, top Foreign Ministry officials were certainly upbeat. by Carla Boonkong & Pranee O' Connor TOP: Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (left), the UK Foreign Secretary exchanged signed agreements at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok with Deputy Prime Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nu-Kara (right) on his visit this Wednesday.

  8. Dating app billboard criticised by Korat women’s right group The leader of a women’s rights protection group in Thailand’s Nakhon Ratchasima province has described a dating app’s advertisement as being disrespectful to women. “The word ‘delicious’ should only be used about food, but the ad used it about women. That is not appropriate. I personally think that the ad disrespects women,” said Chanyanut Surachat. Several billboards promoting the Tinder dating app have popped up in the Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima, known locally as Korat. On the billboards, a question is asked: ‘What is delicious in Korat?’ There were two choices: ‘Fried Korat Noodles’ or ‘Korat ladies’. There was a checkmark next to ‘Korat Ladies’ and a cross next to ‘Fried Korat Noodles’.

  9. Missing Canadian found dead at central Thailand railway station by Petch Petpailin Photo via One 31 Police today discovered the dead body of a Canadian man under the platform of Chet Samian Railway Station in the central province of Ratchaburi. This discovery followed a missing person report filed yesterday, March 20. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1322960-missing-canadian-found-dead-at-central-thailand-railway-station/
  10. Police today discovered the dead body of a Canadian man under the platform of Chet Samian Railway Station in the central province of Ratchaburi. This discovery followed a missing person report filed yesterday, March 20. A group of foreigners lodged a missing persons report at Banpong Police Station yesterday, saying that their Canadian friend, 26 year old Ralph Joseph Ryan, disappeared while they were on train No. 168, travelling from Bangkok to the southern provinces of Chumphon and Trang. According to the friends, Ryan separated from them to smoke cigarettes outside the train carriage when they reached Ratchaburi province. It was his habit to stand at the train door while smoking. However, Ryan did not return after 30 minutes. The friends decided to stop at Baan Kluay Station to seek help from the police when he did not return. Police officers and railway authorities set out a search party for Ryan but could not locate him. The friends tracked his last known location near Klong Bang Tarn Station in the Banpong district of Ratchaburi province using his phone signal. Despite conducting searches from Klong Bang Tarn Station and other stations, officers could not find the missing man. Photaram Police Station later received a report from the leader of a platform construction team that one of his workers stumbled upon the Canadian man beneath the platform of Chet Samian Station in Ratchaburi province. Falling off train The worker informed the police that he usually napped in the gap beneath the platform every afternoon. He went there today and was shocked to see a dead body. Ryan was found shirtless, wearing dark blue shorts, with his wallet and ID card in his trouser pocket. Nearby were his flip-flops and headphones. He had a major wound on his left leg, and blood strains were presented on the platform. Police suspect that Ryan might have accidentally fallen off the train, with his leg striking the platform causing severe injury and blood loss. They believed ongoing construction at the station might have contributed to his fall. A concrete structure projecting from the platform potentially hit his leg while he was smoking at the train door, causing his fall and injury. Officers also believed that Ryan might have sought refuge in the gap beneath the platform to avoid being hit by the train. However, due to his severe injury, he could not get out of the gap. His body has been transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. The State Railway of Thailand prohibits smoking on trains and at train stations. There are no designated smoking areas on trains, leading many passengers to smoke at train doors or open windows, violating the rules.

Tinder ad slammed as an insult to Isaan women and Korat cuisine by Petch Petpailin Photo via MGR Online The leader of a women’s rights protection organisation in the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima condemned an advertisement by the Tinder dating application for insulting women in the province and depreciating Korat’s signature dish.

  15. The leader of a women’s rights protection organisation in the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima condemned an advertisement by the Tinder dating application for insulting women in the province and depreciating Korat’s signature dish. Tinder, one of the world’s most popular dating applications, recently launched a new advertising campaign across various provinces in Thailand. The campaign encourages visitors of each province to use Tinder to not only explore the unique features of the provinces but also to connect with attractive people in the area. The advertising project comes with huge billboards placed in city centres and along main roads in each province. A Thai netizen on social media shared one such billboard from the southern province of Songkhla. “Come to Songkhla to try… Signature Had Yai fried chicken (emoji indicates no). Had Yai guys (emoji indicates yes).” A lot of Thai netizens flooded the comment section with fun comments and likes on the post. However, a group of women in Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat, did not agree with them. Similar billboards appeared along the Friendship Highway in the Pak Chong district of Korat. One billboard on a building on the Pho Klang Road in the city centre of the province. The message on these billboards read… “Delicious item in Nakhon Ratchasima… Korat stir-fried noodles (emoji indicates no). Korat girls (emoji indicates yes).” Call for removal Chanyanut Surachat, the leader of women’s rights protection in Korat, expressed her concerns to Channel 7 regarding an advertisement she had seen multiple times on social media but failed to understand. Upon careful examination, she found the advertisement to be disrespectful towards Korat women. Chanyanut highlighted the inappropriate use of the term “delicious,” typically reserved for describing food, to refer to women. She deemed this usage disrespectful and offensive to the honour and dignity of Korat women. Alongside others, she felt offended by the message conveyed in the advertisement and advocated for the removal of the billboard. Chanyanut complained to Tinder’s advertising team, stating that individuals with creativity should also exhibit respect towards others. She emphasised that her call to action extended beyond the local community in Korat to encompass other provinces as well. Chanyanut argued that the advertisement not only insulted female residents of the province but also devalued their signature dish, Korat stir-fried noodles, also known as Pad Mee Korat. According to Chanyanut, the dish holds significant importance to the region and is even featured in the province’s slogan. She expressed that the dish is delicious and highly recommended for anyone visiting the province to try. Chayanut said she hoped the billboard would be removed before March 23, especially the one on Pho Klang Road. This billboard was located only 500 meters away from the Statue of Thao Suranari, where one of the province’s major events would take place between March 23 and April 3. by Petch Petpailin Photo via MGR Online Source: The Thaiger 2024-03-21 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

  16. Giant albino buffalo stuns PM Srettha in historic encounter by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation Ko Muang Phet, a majestic albino buffalo, towering at an impressive 180 centimetres and tipping the scales at a hefty 1.5 tonnes, made a grand entrance at the Government House yesterday. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1322900-giant-albino-buffalo-stuns-pm-srettha-in-historic-encounter/
  17. Ko Muang Phet, a majestic albino buffalo, towering at an impressive 180 centimetres and tipping the scales at a hefty 1.5 tonnes, made a grand entrance at the Government House yesterday. The nearly five-year-old stud, a symbol of rarity and grace, was escorted to meet Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin in remarkable advocacy for the promotion of Thai buffaloes as a beacon of soft power on the global stage. PM Srettha, standing tall at 192cm, went nose-to-nose with Ko Muang Phet. The premier was visibly moved. “I had no idea there was ever such a beautiful buffalo before!” Jittanat Limthongkul, the proud owner of Wanasuwan Farm, shared with the 62 year old PM the burgeoning interest in the breed and the timely opportunity to champion the Thai buffalo as the nation’s soft power emblem. Earlier this month, Jittanat acquired the impressive beast for a record 18 million baht from Chiang Rai. The previous day, Ko Muang Phet had already turned heads on Phra Athit Road, captivating tourists and locals alike, who clamoured for photographs with the gentle giant. Looking ahead, Jittanat plans to showcase Ko Muang Phet, along with other unique buffaloes, at the Songkran celebrations on Khao San Road, promising a spectacle of size and splendour. Amid safety concerns, the Thai prime minister expressed cautious support. Jittanat reassured that Ko Muang Phet is not aggressive and loves water, committing to bring only the finest specimens to Bangkok. He also highlighted Ko Muang Phet’s potential growth and longevity, sparking a broader discussion on the strategic promotion of the Thai buffalo breed internationally, akin to Japan’s lucrative carp industry, reported The Nation. Wrapping up the historic meeting, PM Srettha initiated steps to showcase Thai buffaloes in a forthcoming roadshow to China, marking a significant stride towards international recognition and appreciation of Thailand’s cultural and natural heritage. ORIGINAL STORY: Cash cow: Albino buffalo sells for record 18 million baht A rare albino buffalo from Phetchaburi has charged into the record books, fetching a staggering 18 million baht, marking it the most expensive buffalo deal in Thai history, proving that this buffalo truly stands out from the herd when it comes to valuable livestock. Renowned for its breathtaking beauty and colossal stature, Ko Muang Phet isn’t just another farm animal, it’s a genetic marvel. With a staggering 90% chance of passing on its albino traits, this buffalo is a game-changer in the breeding industry, promising a lineage of rare offspring. But Ko Muang Phet isn’t just a pretty face in the fields, it’s a star of both screen and pasture. The buffalo stole the show as Ai Khlaow’s trusty companion in the hit drama Mon Rak Luk Thung, cementing its status as an icon beyond the barnyard. Standing tall at 180 centimetres and just five years young, Ko Muang Phet reigns supreme as Thailand’s undisputed giant breeding buffalo champion. Yet, its days of competition are over, as it retires to focus on its true calling: siring the next generation of albino wonders. Recently, Wanasuwan Farm in Chiang Rai made waves by acquiring this celebrity buffalo, shelling out a jaw-dropping 18 million baht at the prestigious 12th Uthai Thani Thai Buffalo Festival, reported The Nation. Damrongsak Morakot, Ko Muang Phet’s former owner, shared his journey from humble buffalo beginnings to multimillion-baht deals, driven by a passion for Thailand’s cattle. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation Source: The Thaiger 2024-03-21 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

  18. UPDATE: Police chiefs suspended over alleged gambling links by Petch Petpailin Photo via ThaiRath The Prime Minister of Thailand suspended two top police chiefs of the Royal Thai Police (RTP) from their positions due to alleged internal conflict and connections to online gambling.

  19. Police chiefs suspended over alleged gambling links by Petch Petpailin Photo via ThaiRath The Prime Minister of Thailand suspended two top police chiefs of the Royal Thai Police (RTP) from their positions due to alleged internal conflict and connections to online gambling. PM Srettha Thavisin, yesterday, March 20, transferred the RTP Commissioner Torsak “Big Tor” Sukvimol and Deputy Commissioner Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn, to temporary roles at the Prime Minister’s Office for 60 days. Police General Kitrat Phanphet has been assigned as acting RTP commissioner. The transfers followed allegations linking Big Joke to an online gambling operation. The investigation into this matter has been ongoing since last year, with no clear resolution. Big Joke consistently maintained his innocence and attributed the accusations against him to internal conflicts within the RTP. The PM underscored that both police chiefs are presumed innocent until the investigation concludes. Nevertheless, he deemed it necessary to reassign them from their current roles to guarantee a fair and unbiased investigation. PM Srettha urged both Big Tor and Big Joke to abstain from granting media interviews to prevent further complications. Additionally, he instructed their subordinates not to take sides or divulge any information regarding the case to the public. No internal conflict Big Tor and Big Joke yesterday jointly held a press conference to proclaim their innocence and affirm that there was no internal conflict within the organisation. Big Tor reported that the investigation into the internal conflict within the RTP and the online gambling links had been transferred to the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (ONACC). The two high-ranking Thai cops have been transferred out of their current positions to ensure that the investigation is fair and of the highest standard. Big Tor insisted that there was no internal conflict within the RTP, although the issue ignited a public debate due to misunderstandings and confusion propagated on social media. He further stated his intention to retire within the next six months and expressed his desire for each remaining day in his position to be positive. Big Tor insisted that he’s had no conflicts with any officers since he served as RTP commissioner. He emphasised his commitment to making the RTP a supportive organisation for all officers. “We live together like brothers and sisters. We work together to build a home for each officer, not just a house.” Big Tor expressed to Big Joke his genuine sincerity, asserting himself as an elder brother figure with unwavering sincerity towards him. He maintained that nobody could match his level of sincerity towards Big Joke. According to ThaiRath, Big Joke appeared visibly stressed and subdued, allowing Big Tor to field the majority of the reporters’ inquiries.

  20.

  21. In the face of mounting public criticism over his frequent overseas travels, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has vocally committed to staying put in Thailand for the next two months. The announcement was made via his Twitter account, highlighting that he had taken on board the citizens’ concerns and was grateful for their feedback. “I will not be travelling abroad from March 14 to May 15. I have listened to your concerns and I will be visiting the Mor Chit bus terminal, a hub for our low-income citizens. However, I maintain that my foreign trips are always in the nation’s best interest.” This statement is believed to be a direct response to a recent article published in the Prachachart Thurakij newspaper by columnist Sorakol Adulyanont. Sorakol had appealed to the prime minister to focus more on domestic issues, suggesting visits to the bus terminal or inspections of the fire-fighting operations in the northern region currently battling severe dust pollution. Sorakol further reminded the prime minister of his own words, emphasising that a true leader must be willing to hear the voices of the people, regardless of whether they are hard to digest. Critics, notably including Senator Somchai Sawangkarn, have expressed disapproval of the 62 year old prime minister’s frequent foreign excursions. “Could our prime minister be setting a global record for the most overseas trips by a country’s leader? The pressing question remains: What results have these trips yielded?” It has been reported that the Bangkok-born Srettha has spent nearly 30% of his time in office over the past six months travelling; totalling 15 overseas trips. His most recent trips included visits to Germany and France, in addition to an official trip to Australia. During the Australian trip, he participated in the 2024 ASEAN-Australia Special Summit held in Melbourne, reported Bangkok Post. Despite the criticism, the Thai prime minister remains steadfast in his stance that these trips are crucial for promoting investment and tourism in Thailand. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Government House Source: The Thaiger 2024-03-21 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.
