Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
Life isn't worth much in Thailand. 4,000 baht can kill 23 people. Imagine how many people have been killed or injured over the years due to this. Disgusting. Disgraceful. -

Thai crackdown on activists ignites fresh tensions in Deep South
Five activists in Thailand’s insurgency-plagued Deep South are facing the heat after hosting a mock referendum on self-determination. Yesterday, October 3, police charged two activists and three students for organising the event in June last year, sparking renewed debates about free speech in the volatile, heavily militarised border region. The group, which includes members of The Pattani political movement and the Pelajar Bangsa student group, faces accusations under Article 116 of the Thai Criminal Code. The charges carry a potential seven-year prison sentence for threatening national security. Their “crime”? A mock poll that asked attendees if they supported self-determination for Pattani, a historical region spanning Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, and parts of Songkhla. “This case involves students’ freedom of expression. Academic spaces should be free.” Hussain Buenae, one of the charged students, emphasised the event’s academic nature. His co-defendant, Artef Sohko, voiced concerns about a rushed legal process. “We question whether the entire process has been hastily concluded.” The backdrop of this controversy is the Deep South’s decades-long separatist conflict, where over 7,500 lives have been lost since 2004, according to Deep South Watch. The region, predominantly Muslim Malay, has seen waves of unrest, with more than 22,200 incidents and 14,000 injuries during that period. Police, however, appear cautious, labelling the case “delicate.” Police Major General Nitinai Langyanai reassured that the proceedings were following due legal process. This case has broader implications for Thailand’s peace process with insurgents, which has seen mixed results since its resumption in 2020. Human rights organisations have also expressed concerns about the suppression of free speech in the region, with over 40 activists charged since 2017. The court hearing is set for November 13, leaving activists and observers questioning Thailand’s commitment to civil liberties, reported Benar News. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Benar News Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-10-05 -

Trump Too Scared To Appear On 60 Minutes
When Iran injured 100+ US soldiers, Trump let it go, no response. Maybe Putin warned Trump about fighting back. -

Thailand Battles Monsoon Chaos: Floods Disrupt Travel and Aviation
Intense monsoon rains currently?? Chaos? At Bangkok airports? Where and when? There has been intense rain and there are flooded areas. But currently and for the coming days there is little to no rain in the forecast except for some in the south. -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
^^ Well said. Cash is intrinsically not worth anything either, but. Thailand needs to woo Apple to really move on (Apple Pay—for those with iPhones😜—seems to be all over above methods) and outlets like LOTUS need to sort their sht because they have become ridiculously slow when paying any way bar cash. -

Israel Bans U.N. Chief António Guterres Amid Escalating Tensions
They could not possibly be more wrong if they think escalating the war in the region is going to solve anything. Quite a wide brush you're accusing them of there, how exactly are they escalating the war? -

Thailand Aims for 36.7M Tourists, Unveils Bold Campaign Plans
I don't joke about such things, plus I can't see why you would even think it was. Do YOU think they will review transport safety to safeguard the millions of tourists they want to attract, as currently their track record of tourist safety certainly isn't all that great. -

Thai woman suffers broken legs in hit-and-run on zebra crossing - video
Poor lady. It's not just Zebra crossings that are dangerous - at light controlled crossings many Thai drivers just ignore the red lights. The only safe way to cross the road in Thailand is in a tank.
