In a bold move to challenge OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, is rolling out its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Meta AI, to 21 new markets, including Thailand. With Thai language support now on the table, Meta is upping the stakes in the race for AI chatbot supremacy.

 

Big tech companies have been fiercely competing to attract consumers to their AI platforms, and Meta is no exception. By adding language support for Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Arabic, the company is making sure its chatbot is more accessible than ever.

 

“Meta AI, which currently has almost 500 million monthly active users, will be available in the UK, Brazil, and more countries across Latin America and Asia beginning Wednesday.”


This expansion is part of a strategic push to dominate the global AI market. Once the rollout is complete, Meta AI will be available in 43 countries and support a dozen languages, keeping the company on track to become the most used AI assistant worldwide by the end of 2024.

 

However, Meta’s expansion comes with a catch. Despite the wider availability, the flashy new character voices for the AI chatbot, teased by CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s annual Connect conference, aren’t part of this wave. The company clarified that these features are being rolled out on a separate timeline, leaving users eager for the upgrade to wait a little longer, reported Bangkok Post.

Whoever wrote the title "Move over ChatGPT, Meta’s AI chatbot now speaks Thai" is clearly unaware that ChatGPT already speaks and understands spoken Thai.  Meta's playing catchup.

      Myanmar Woman Extorted and Assaulted at Pattaya Beauty Salon

      Picture courtesy of TMN. A 28-year-old Myanmar national, Ms Nang Mo Syai, accompanied by two female friends, filed a police report at Pattaya City Police Station after allegedly being extorted and assaulted at a local beauty salon. The incident was reported at 01:20 on 24 May, to Police Lieutenant Akaraphong Saenputawong, the duty investigator. One of the victims, Ms Aye Pee, 25, also a Myanmar national, recounted the ordeal in detail. According to Ms Aye, she and her friend Ms Nang Noon Kham, 26, discovered the salon through the popular app TikTok and agreed on a hair treatment service for a total price of 17,000 baht. However, after the service was completed, the salon staff allegedly refused to let the women leave, claiming the payment was insufficient. Shortly after, four men and one woman, all wearing official looking black vests, entered the salon. The men, who claimed to be police officers, were accompanied by a Thai woman who approached one of the victims, forcefully grabbed her shirt, and slapped her across the face. The men then demanded an additional 20,000 baht from the victims and, when that sum was paid, insisted on a further 22,250 baht. Once the money had been paid in full to the satisfaction of the salon owner and the alleged enforcers, the victims were allowed to leave the premises. After regaining their composure, the group consulted one another and decided to report the incident to the police. Police have recorded the incident in the daily log as a formal complaint and have launched an investigation. Officers from Pattaya City Police Station will examine CCTV footage to identify the suspects and determine the facts of the case. Authorities have confirmed that a full investigation is underway and vowed to bring those responsible to justice. Adapted by Asean Now from TMN 2025-05-25.

      Friendship Supermarket Closed

      Anyone who actually wants to drive on Pattaya Tai both ways, particularly these days, for a bit of shopping is also perplexing. If one can do the weekly shop on foot, or on a motorcycle, you could probably manage at a much closer 7-11.

      Cyber Police Dismantle Major Online Gambling Network “CS68 Club” in Phetchabun

      Picture courtesy of InsideThailand. Cyber police have arrested a key figure behind the administration of one of the country’s largest online gambling networks, “CS68 Club,” during a coordinated raid in Phetchabun Province. The operation, carried out by the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), was ordered by Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiewphan, Commissioner of the CCIB. The raid was led by Police Major General Kritachaya Bamrungraṭtanos, with senior officers from divisions 2 and 4, alongside investigators from the Police Cyber Taskforce (PCT), executing a search warrant at a residential property in Mueang District. According to Lt Gen Trirong, the crackdown was in line with the Royal Thai Police’s policy under Police General Phitthirat Phanphech, who has called for urgent action against online gambling operations, which are seen as a threat to Thai society, particularly among the youth. Authorities had been investigating the website “CS68 Club,” which they describe as a major online gambling platform boasting over 100,000 members and generating a staggering monthly turnover of more than 240 million baht. The site offered various forms of illegal gambling, including slot games, fish shooting games, card games, baccarat, hi-lo, pok deng, dragon tiger, live casinos and lottery games. The site operated through a sophisticated banking system using domestic bank accounts and automated fund transfers, including so-called “mule” accounts to conceal financial trails. Players could deposit and withdraw money directly via the website, supported by a team of administrators tasked with resolving user issues and encouraging continued participation in gambling activities. The raid targeted a property at 119/48, Moo 2, Mae Sadiang Subdistrict, where officers arrested 32-year-old Ms Nitaya Kantha, a Chiang Rai native, alleged to be the head of the admin team for the CS68 Club network. Police seized a mobile phone containing evidence of multiple bank transfer slips linked to various individuals involved in the operation. During questioning, Ms Nitaya admitted to managing the admin team for over two years, receiving a monthly salary of 25,000 baht. Her responsibilities included recruiting admins, managing team finances, and distributing salaries to nearly ten administrators under her supervision. Ms Nitaya has been charged with “organising or facilitating gambling, or directly or indirectly advertising or soliciting others to gamble via electronic media without authorisation from the relevant authorities.” She has been handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings. The investigation into the broader network is ongoing, with authorities determined to track down all individuals involved in the CS68 Club operation.
