Austrian Man Detained for Overstaying Visa by 920 Days
920 days? That's almost 3 years. What did he think would happen when they caught up with him?

Cannabis Shops to Close by April 1, 2025: Thai PM Orders Drug Rescheduling
I don't have a horse in this race, but this is appalling. To pass a law and allow all these people to invest their money in businesses and then make it illegal two years later is criminal in itself.

Joint Operation to Curb Noise & Fireworks Nuisance at Jomtien Beach
Gee, maybe they should get up early some morning and see what goes on at Jomtien Beach in the early morning (likely all night), with loud music and partying. These people double park in the street, as do the food vendors, causing a safety hazard. But 5:30 - 6 am is a bit too early for Pattaya's finest, so I understand.

Bangkok Governor Targets Taxi and Tuk-Tuk Overcharging
How funny is this? They've been "cracking down" on this for as long as I've been in Thailand, almost a quarter century. It's like cracking down on corruption. It will never change.

Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism
"Over tourism"? Are these people kidding? One minute they're crying because they don't get enough tourists and giving freebies to countries like India and China and the next minute they're trying to do things to slow tourism down. Make a decision guys! And if you think 9 USD is going to make a difference you're wrong. I'm looking forward to the article in the next few days about how the Thai authorities are whining about one country or another having too few tourists here or one area or another being low on tourism. What a joke!

Bangkok tuk tuk driver and tailor shop scam British YouTuber
Oldest trick in the book. The first thing I was told on my first trip to Thailand was don't go where taxi drivers or tuk tuk drivers want to take you.

Govt Urged to Reconsider EFTA Free Trade Agreement
