Report Thailand's Health System Holding Strong Amid Covid-19 Surge, Says Minister
File photo courtesy of Thai PBS World The nation's top health official, Thailand's Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin, assured citizens yesterday that the country's health infrastructure is robust enough to handle the ongoing surge of Covid-19 cases. This statement follows a sobering report of 65,880 new Covid cases and three fatalities recorded in the week from May 25 to May 31. Minister Somsak highlighted the groups most affected by the virus, identifying people aged 30-39 as bearing the brunt with 12,403 cases. They were closely trailed by the 20-29 age group, reporting 10,368 cases, and those aged 60 and over, with 9,590 cases. While cautioning about continued infections due to the rainy season, Somsak reassured that the infection peak has passed, anticipating a decline in numbers due to strong health measures in place. Reiterating a familiar tune for public safety, Somsak urged stringent adherence to Covid-19 protocols: mask-wearing, avoiding crowded spaces, and frequent hand washing. He stressed the importance of ATK testing and self-isolation for anyone suspecting infection to protect vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with existing health conditions. In addition to Covid-19 updates, Minister Somsak noted a drop in influenza cases, although he warned that fatalities are significant among those over 60 and people with chronic illnesses. The government's commitment to public health is ongoing, as evidenced by plans to boost the influenza vaccination drive by increasing the number of vaccine doses to six million in the 2025 fiscal year, targeting vulnerable populations. Overall, Somsak's message is clear: The public health system continues to stand vigilant, offering both reassurance and a call for continued caution as the nation navigates these challenging times.

Crime Russian National Arrested at Phuket Airport Over Alleged Cyber Fraud
Picture courtesy of Phuket Express A 36-year-old Russian man was apprehended by immigration officers at Phuket International Airport, facing serious allegations of fraud and cybercrimes. According to a statement released by Phuket Immigration, the suspect was intercepted in the international arrivals terminal and taken into custody without incident. Authorities confirmed he was wanted in connection with multiple offences, including public fraud, cybercrime and breaches of the Electronic Transactions Act. Investigators allege that the individual played a key role in supporting illicit online activities designed to deceive the public. These reportedly involved unauthorised access to electronic banking systems and manipulation of online platforms for fraudulent purposes, in violation of The Computer Crimes Act. “The individual is accused of enabling access to financial accounts without lawful authority or intent, actions that are considered serious offences under current cybercrime legislation,” an immigration official stated. Following his arrest, the suspect was promptly transferred from Phuket to Surat Thani City Police Station, where he remains in custody while the investigation continues. Officials have not disclosed the specific nature or scale of the fraudulent operations allegedly linked to the suspect.Further details regarding his case, including his identity and possible associates, have not been released by authorities. The arrest underscores Thailand’s ongoing efforts to clamp down on transnational cybercrime and electronic fraud, particularly those exploiting digital banking systems and online commerce.

Report Thaksin Verdict Looms: Thai-Cambodian Border Heats Up
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra arrives at the office of narcotics control board in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday, May 27, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border are rising as the crucial court ruling on former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra approaches on June 13. The Thai military had proposed closing border crossings due to heightened Cambodian military presence in disputed regions, a move rejected by the Thai government despite public outcry. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai chose restraint, fearing economic repercussions and advocating peaceful solutions. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has taken an aggressive stance, prepared to escalate the issue to the International Court of Justice. The Royal Thai Army confirmed both nations have agreed to step back, focusing on the Joint Boundary Committee (JBC) discussions to resolve the matter diplomatically. These developments unfold amid a sensitive political climate, with Thaksin's impending court case adding complexity and potential for heightened tensions. Both nations are engaging in diplomatic efforts, albeit underlined by underlying personal and political ties involving the Shinawatra and Hun Sen families. As legal proceedings loom, the border dynamics could either stabilise or surge, impacting both domestic politics and regional relations, depending on the outcome and subsequent reactions. The JBC meeting, hosted by Cambodia, is crucial for defusing the situation, as all eyes remain on the potential for diplomatic resolution versus military escalation.
