Market Vendor Stabbed After Dispute Over Stall Placement
Picture courtesy of Matichon. A shocking act of violence erupted in Si Khiu district of Nakhon Ratchasima, on the night of 13 February, when a poultry vendor, armed with a butcher’s knife, brutally attacked a fellow market trader in front of her daughter. The incident, which occurred outside a well-known shop in the local market, left the 47-year-old woman with severe injuries. The attacker, identified as 54-year-old Mr. Songkram, was swiftly apprehended by police at the scene. Reports indicate that the altercation stemmed from a long-running dispute over stall placement, with Mr. Songkram accusing the victim, Ms. Sirinya, of encroaching on his space. According to witnesses, the argument between the two had escalated earlier in the day, prompting concerned bystanders to intervene. However, the situation took a horrifying turn when Mr. Songkram later pursued Ms. Sirinya as she rode her motorcycle with her daughter to buy groceries. The suspect allegedly kicked the motorcycle, causing the pair to crash, before launching a frenzied knife attack on Ms. Sirinya. Passersby watched in horror as the assailant repeatedly stabbed the woman, striking her back, face, and limbs. Her daughter managed to flee, seeking help, but onlookers were too afraid to intervene due to the suspect’s erratic and aggressive behaviour. Emergency responders rushed Ms. Sirinya to Si Khiu Hospital before transferring her to Maharaj Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital due to the severity of her injuries. Speaking to reporters, the victim’s 25-year-old daughter described the terrifying ordeal: “My mother tried to escape, but he chased us. When we fell, he attacked her with a knife. I begged for help, but no one dared step in because he looked intoxicated and violent.” Relatives of Ms. Sirinya have vowed to pursue legal action against the attacker, who is now facing attempted murder charges. A cousin of the victim revealed that Mr. Songkram had been drinking prior to the attack and had boasted about his past criminal record, claiming he was unafraid of returning to prison. Police have taken him into custody and are gathering evidence to proceed with legal action. -- 2025-02-15 -

Irish, Brazilian, Israeli Musicians Arrested in Pai for for Working Without Permits
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Authorities have arrested four foreign musicians for performing without work permits at a restaurant in Pai, in Mae Hong Son province. The arrests come amid increasing concerns from local residents about the impact of foreign visitors on their community. A joint operation involving Immigration Police Region 5 Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son Provincial Police, the Mae Hong Son Employment Office, and the Internal Security Command raided Jazz House Pai in Wiang Tai subdistrict on the evening of 13 February, shortly before 22:00. The raid followed reports that the venue regularly hosted unauthorised foreign performers. According to complaints, the restaurant frequently featured three foreign bands: • Walk the Dog 2 (7:00–8:00 PM) • Pink Fraud (8:00–9:30 PM) • Mizu and Branda (9:30–10:30 PM) During the raid, officers discovered four foreign musicians performing on stage. The suspects attempted to escape through the back of the venue but were quickly apprehended. The arrested individuals were identified as: • Mr Brian (Ireland, lead singer and guitarist) • Mr Matheus (Brazil, bass guitarist) • Mr Yishay (Israel, drummer) • Mr Shay (Israel, guitarist) All four were charged with working without valid permits and failing to report their employment details within the mandatory 15-day period. The venue owner is also facing charges for employing unauthorised foreign workers. This enforcement action follows a January meeting between the Mae Hong Son Immigration Office and Pai community leaders, during which residents raised concerns about the increasing number of unauthorised foreign workers and the impact on local tourism. Officials have encouraged residents to report suspected cases of illegal employment involving foreign nationals, with the exception of workers from neighbouring countries such as Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Local representatives have urged authorities to prioritise community well-being over purely economic considerations, expressing particular concerns about tourism activities that benefit business operators while disrupting local life. Immigration officials have pledged to address these issues in coordination with other relevant agencies. -- 2025-02-15 -

Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
A lot has to do with the quality of English taught. At a couple of schools I visited I was surprised at the poor level of English language teaching
