Thailand news - Thaksin receives another ex-PM as a visitor whilst debate continues about his future plans, hotel and room rates are up in the south, whilst the tourist demographics are also quite different. A vicious crime in Pattaya will be receiving some coverage in Chinese media, a tragedy in Thailand's Deep South, and Thailand's police are poor, with staff shortages also leaving some Thai police stations under-staffed.

 

Tim Newton Today is a daily take on Thai and regional news and issues of interest to expats and foreign tourists.
