Ex-Inmate Reveals Hellish Conditions at Klong Prem Prison
Picture courtesy of Sanook A former police superintendent's mysterious death in prison has sparked debate. Thitisan Utthanaphon, known as "Joe Ferrari," was found dead in Bang Kwang Central Prison under suspicious circumstances, with claims from his family hinting at possible foul play, though initial reports suggested suicide. In a recent broadcast, 'Bomb Wannawat,' of the Facebook page 'Prisoner Paintings,' shared insights from his time in Klong Prem Central Prison's notorious Unit 5. Bomb described it as a hostile environment that could severely impact inmates' mental health, especially those with police backgrounds like Thitisan, who might face threats and violence from fellow inmates. Bomb recounted his own harrowing experiences, revealing the intense stress could lead to self-harm. He emphasised that the prison hierarchy disregards former ranks or titles; once inside, everyone is treated as an inmate and is vulnerable to psychological torment. When asked about Thitisan's death, Bomb speculated that, while bullying or harassment might have occurred, an extreme end like murder seemed unlikely. He believes the oppressive environment and mental strain could have driven Thitisan to his tragic decision, reported Sanook. -- 2025-03-11 -

Picture courtesy of Khaosod A young woman is determined to pursue legal action after alleging she was harassed by a taxi driver who locked the doors and prevented her from exiting the vehicle. The incident occurred on 9th March when the woman took a Bolt taxi from Sukhumvit to Wat Son in the Suksawat area. According to reports, the driver engaged in inappropriate behaviour, including holding her wrist, touching her leg, and smelling her arm. Despite the woman's pleas, the driver did not immediately release her from the vehicle. The victim's sister, who spoke to the media, recounted the ordeal. Upon arriving home visibly distressed, the younger woman showed her sister a recording of the incident taken on her phone. The driver insisted on deleting the video and tried to apologise when confronted later. The woman has since filed a formal complaint with Ratchaburana Police Station. Authorities have identified the taxi driver and are actively seeking to apprehend him for questioning. The victim and her family are resolute in their commitment to pursuing justice and ensuring the driver faces consequences for his actions, reported Khaosod. -- 2025-03-11 -

Phuket Ranks Top for Tourism Revenue in Thailand for 2024
Picture courtesy of NBT World In a resounding triumph for Phuket, the island province has claimed the top spot in Thailand's 2024 tourism revenue rankings, raking in a substantial 497.5 billion baht. This financial boon not only cements its status as a premier travel destination but also underscores the government’s efforts to strengthen the tourism industry’s role in the national economy. As the world slowly emerges from global disruptions, Thailand has seen a robust revival in its tourism sector. Not far behind Phuket, the province of Chonburi secured second place with earnings of 316.8 billion baht, while Surat Thani, known for its popular islands like Koh Samui, contributed 119.1 billion baht to the nation’s coffers. The appeal of Thailand's coastal charm and cultural richness has also highlighted provinces such as Chiang Mai, Krabi, and Prachuap Khiri Khan as major contributors. With 2025 designated as the “Golden Year of Thai Tourism,” government initiatives are steadily taking shape, focusing on eradicating seasonal tourism slumps. Officials are keen to spread the influx of tourists evenly across the year and extend economic benefits beyond the typical hotspots. The strategy includes spurring tourist spending through improving infrastructure, hosting high-profile international events, and guiding visitors towards lesser-known yet equally captivating destinations. In a bid to support sustainable growth, the Thai government has launched the Department of Tourism Homestay Standard Program. This initiative aims to uplift local tourism by ensuring homestays meet high-quality benchmarks, enhancing traveller confidence, and attracting discerning visitors who seek authentic cultural experiences. This tourism surge is a testament to Thailand’s resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. The financial success of regions like Phuket serves as a beacon, steering the country's future tourism strategies. These will likely focus on marketing, event planning, and infrastructure development to maintain robust growth trajectories. In summary, Thailand's tourism landscape is witnessing a promising resurrection with dedicated efforts aimed at sustainable advancement. For visitors and locals alike, the vibrant blend of tradition and nature found from the northern plains to the southern shores remains an enchanting draw, ensuring Thailand's place as a world-renowned travel destination. As the industry looks to the future, the focus remains on creating an inclusive, thriving tourism sector that benefits all, reported NBT World. -- 2025-03-11 -

10,000 Baht Cash Handout Announced for Thai Youth Aged 16 to 20
Picture courtesy: Money and Banking In a bid to stimulate economic activity among the younger generation, the Thai government has announced a new phase of its cash handout scheme, distributing 10,000 Baht to nearly 2.7 million young Thais aged 16 to 20. This decision marks the third phase of the initiative, aimed specifically at fostering technology-driven spending habits among tech-savvy youths. Under this latest policy shift, the Economic Stimulus Policy Board opted to focus solely on the younger demographic rather than the initially broader target group of all Thais aged 16 to 60. Deputy Finance Minister Paopoom Rojanasakul explained that the decision aligns better with the current economic context and the intended digital focus of the programme. Young people, being more attuned to technological advancements, are expected to integrate seamlessly with the digital currency system. Dismissing rumours of inadequate funding, Paopoom assured that the government has secured a substantial budget of 150 billion Baht dedicated to the cash handout initiative. This reassures the public of the scheme’s continuity and the government’s commitment to stimulating economic recovery through targeted financial assistance. In earlier phases of the programme, funds were allocated to disabled individuals and state welfare cardholders, followed by citizens over 60 years of age. Today's decision marks a pivot towards engaging the younger population, with an emphasis on digital financial literacy. Interestingly, the third phase comes with relaxed restrictions on the types of products that can be purchased using the digital handout, though significant limitations remain regarding the outlets that can participate. Notable exclusions include gold shops and liquor stores, while convenience store purchases of liquor are permissible with the digital currency. This strategic curation ensures that the funds circulate within sectors that provide broader economic benefits. Additionally, the government has loosened previous constraints on converting digital money back into physical currency, enhancing the flexibility and attractiveness of participation in the programme. The government anticipates that this targeted financial infusion will create a "whirlwind effect," boosting consumer spending and thereby invigorating the Thai economy. As young Thais take centre stage in this economic stimulation effort, the hope is for a ripple effect that translates into broader economic upturns. This adjustment demonstrates a strategic shift in government policy, going beyond mere relief payments and aiming to nurture technological engagement and economic revival through digital currency adoption among Thailand's youth, reported Thain PBS. -- 2025-03-11
