Widespread online scams pose daunting challenge to Thai authorities
Wifi on my phone always off. No apps other than the Samsung ones that I cannot delete. ???? Mind you, I too could be 'scammed' with the International SMS's that hit you, except that my AIS package has unlimited SMS. Cloning a phone these days is all too easy for the technical savvy criminals.

Legal Ruling Puts Other Projects at Risk: Similar Fate Looms for Residential Developments on State Land
From what I see and hear in Thailand, it is unlikely to be demolished. Near my place, there are at least a dozen villas all built on hillside (illegally) and on agricultural land that should not allow a building permit. Somehow (?) the land titles all seem to be chanote. The DSI are involved and said that the land titles are all fake and are to be revoked. The villas are still there. Resale may be a bit of an issue though.

Ten Dead, 118 Injured, 200 Families Suffer After Fireworks Warehouse in Narathiwat Exploded
Maybe the warehouse was there first and the houses came afterwards? (Because of the jobs.) We have no way of knowing. ????

Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport
The election that brought the red shirts to power was an (almost) fair, democratic election. Just the usual vote buying by ALL parties. Thaksin's government then went on to deliver his pledges to the supporters. (Mostly rural, poorer Thais.) As Thais at the time said to me "He may be corrupt - they all are, but he is the first that has helped me, my family and our village." Now that sounds a bit like democracy to me.

Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport
You are talking about the whole current (almost outgoing) government there. Why pick on just one person? At least Thaksin did something for the poor people in Thailand. All (military) governments since then have just been lining the pockets of the rich.

Scammers use fake social media accounts of luxury hotels to swindle money
Fakebook should be banned. They do not accept responsibility for anything. It is only about the money.
-
Mint-chocolate drinks banned in some cafés over Pheu Thai’s political move
Not at all. Just a safe, non-violent protest. Letting the dinosaurs know that they are disliked.

Thais are sinking deeply into debt
Prayut's military legacy - a government that can only spend and is unable to run a country for the people. Sadly it will be around for a long time.
