Tattooed Tourist Assaulted in Songkran Soaking Incident
Picture courtesy of Pattaya News A Songkran celebration on Pattaya's Soi 6 erupted into violence last night when a foreign tourist, attempting to avoid water due to a fresh tattoo, was assaulted. Police are currently hunting for the assailants responsible for the altercation, which ended with the tourist being hospitalised. The drama unfolded at approximately 8.30pm on April 15, when Sawang Boriboon Pattaya Rescue Unit was alerted to an incident on Pattaya Second Road. Responding alongside Pattaya City Police, they discovered a man, aged around 35–40, injured and bleeding on the pavement, sporting a deep gash under his eye. Witnesses reported that the incident began when the tourist, riding a motorbike, was unexpectedly drenched by a group of three to four foreign revellers armed with water guns. Despite the man's gestures to signal his reluctance, the group went ahead and soaked him. His frustration led him to confront the group, resulting in a heated exchange. The situation escalated when one of the revellers struck him in the eye with a water gun, leaving him injured as the group fled the scene. Rescue workers noted a waterproof dressing on the man's back—a sign he had recently acquired a tattoo, explaining his attempts to stay dry during the famous Thai festival. The tourist received first aid on the scene before being transported to a hospital for further treatment. Police suggested he recover before filing a formal complaint. In response to the incident, authorities are reviewing CCTV footage to identify the culprits and remind participants of the importance of consensual participation in Songkran festivities. Unwarranted soaking could result in legal consequences for those involved, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-16 -

China tells airlines to suspend Boeing jet deliveries
That’s not really true at all. Inflation has been on a steady downward trajectory for the last two years. Most of it came down during the prior administration, and any continued decline in inflation over the last two months is just a continuation of that effect. You can ask any economist and they can explain that to you. But tariffs are an inflationary policy, which will also lead to higher unemployment. It will take a few months for the effects of that to show in the numbers. So unless Trump backs off from his tariff campaign, you will most likely see inflation reverse and start moving back up in the opposite direction. -
