Travel Thailand Tightens Airport Rules on Liquids and Gels to Boost Safety
Picture courtesy of TAT Newsroom Thailand has revamped its airport security, applying stricter rules for carrying liquids, gels, and aerosols (LGAs) in hand luggage. Effective from Tuesday, April 22, the new regulations are aimed at enhancing safety, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). The refreshed protocol requires all LGAs to undergo thorough screening processes before passengers, crew, or airport staff can bring them onto the aircraft or into restricted zones. These rules apply to various items, from drinks and sauces to cosmetics and spray containers. Even combined solid-liquid products like mascara and lip balm are subject to these constraints. Notable among the changes is the new size limit for LGA containers. Each should not exceed 100 millilitres and must fit in a container of identical capacity. Passengers can carry multiple containers if the total volume remains under 1 litre, all enclosed in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag. This bag must be presented separately during security checks but does not count as part of hand luggage. For individuals requiring medications, baby food or milk, or medically necessary dietary products, exceptions are available with proper documentation. Airport teams, including crew and emergency staff, can bring necessary LGAs only if they follow security guidelines. The rules allow duty-free LGAs if these items are sealed in tamper-evident bags with proof of purchase. This applies to transit and transfer passengers who must show their duty-free goods for inspection. Airports are tasked with displaying the new guidelines across all public zones to ensure passenger awareness. In conclusion, as Thailand enforces these stringent security measures, travellers are encouraged to be informed of both departure and arrival airport regulations to prevent delays in their journey.

Report Disgust and Outrage as Tourist Urinates on Moving Tuk-Tuk in Patong
video screenshot A shocking scene unfolded on the streets of Phuket as a foreign tourist was caught on camera urinating on a moving tuk-tuk. The incident, which went viral after being shared by user "Wissawa Jed Dok Jick" on Facebook, has sparked widespread condemnation. The footage shows the audacious act unfolding on April 24th, with other vehicles and pedestrians left aghast at the sight. The uploader, echoing public sentiment, slammed the act as "unacceptable behaviour" and expressed disdain for such disrespectful actions in public spaces. The scene was captured amidst the hustle and bustle of Patong, with the tourist seemingly oblivious to the consequences of his behaviour. This brazen display has once again highlighted concerns about certain tourists' attitudes while visiting Thailand. The video has triggered a surge of reactions online, with many netizens expressing their disgust and demanding stricter monitoring to prevent such public offences. Calls for better regulations have emerged, as users emphasize the need for visitors to adhere to local decorum. This incident feeds into a broader conversation about the impact of tourist behaviour on community standards and public hygiene. Discussions have been reignited concerning the necessity of educating travelers on respecting cultural norms and the significance of maintaining public decency. While this latest occurrence adds to an ongoing dialogue, it underscores the crucial role of local authorities in enforcing standards and deterring disrespectful behaviour. As the debate continues, the push for effective measures to safeguard public environments remains a pressing priority. As of now, no official statements have been reported from local police or authorities regarding the tourist's actions. The incident stands as a stark reminder to all visitors of the importance of respecting local customs and laws. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Phuket Express 2025-04-26 -

Report Pattaya Lift Breakdowns Trigger Post-Festival Chaos
Picture courtesy of Pattaya Mail The Wan Lai water festival’s high-spirited revelry in Pattaya has left an unexpected headache in its wake. Public lifts across the city are malfunctioning, causing escalated accessibility issues. The aftermath has seen the Department of Natural Resources and Environment spring into action, spearheading a clean-up campaign across impacted areas. Residents are loudly voicing concerns over the broken lifts, which have been inevitably linked to water and powder damages incurred during the festival. One particularly harrowing incident saw a local wheelchair user stranded when a lift at a crossing went kaput. Her partner had no choice but to physically carry her across the street—a precarious adventure, to say the least. City officials have acknowledged the pervasive issue, with water infiltrating the lift systems, compromising vital electronics. "Repairs are currently underway," assured a spokesperson from the department, as maintenance crews diligently tackle the grime, moisture, and subsequent technical issues blighting the lift systems. The beloved Wan Lai festival drew people out in droves, yet has highlighted public infrastructure vulnerabilities yet again, particularly in accessibility for wheelchair users and the elderly. These individuals find pedestrian bridges arduous to navigate without functional lifts. The city is committed to ensuring all elevators regain operability post-haste. Local authorities have called on the community to escalate any additional out-of-service lifts for prioritized maintenance. Meanwhile, officials are pleading for public patience as the significant post-festival clean-up continues through the next days. As Pattaya increasingly becomes a tourist mecca basking in international attention, officials are re-evaluating strategies for better preservation of public amenities during cultural celebrations. Preventative maintenance protocols will be reviewed to safeguard the city's infrastructure from future festivity-induced chaos. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-04-26 -

Accident Drunk Driver Plays Foreigner Card After Bangkok Crash Havoc
Photo via TikTok/ @phoom_thanasak A tipsy escapade in Bangkok saw a Thai driver impersonate a foreigner in a desperate bid to dodge accountability after slamming into not one, but two cars. The bizarre episode unfolded on April 24 in Soi Mahad Thai, Ramkhamhaeng, a lively Bangkok locale. TikTok videos unveiled a dramatic scene where the driver was confirmed Thai, yet bafflingly insisted on speaking English throughout the ordeal. Witnesses caught the fracas on film, including a determined Thai biker hunting the driver's white hatchback post the first hit-and-run incident. The footage paints a chaotic picture: the car's damaged mirror dangling and a visibly wrecked front wheel. Ignoring cries to halt, the driver pressed on, zigzagging against traffic before botching a getaway into a convenience store's parking lot and hitting another parked car. The site of the second crash became a showdown. Cornered by the biker and other onlookers, the driver clung to the foreigner façade. Photo via TikTok/ @phoom_thanasak A local Grab driver attempted dialogue, yet was snubbed with, “You look bad. You don’t speak English,” as caught on the TikTok handle @phoom_thanasak. Evident intoxication marked her face, speech slurred and footing unsure. Channel 7 clarified the incident arose on April 23, with Wang Thonglang's police later uncovering alcohoic evidence within the woman's vehicle. While her sentence remains veiled, she reportedly risks a year behind bars, a monetary fine between 5,000 to 20,000 baht (THB), or both, under Section 43(2) of the Road Traffic Act concerning intoxicated driving. Furthermore, authorities may suspend or outright void her driving licence. Temporary vehicle seizure adds to her immediate predicaments. As the legal process continues, the case highlights the severe repercussions and legal stakes of mixing alcohol with driving on Bangkok's bustling streets.
