Politics Hun Manet Defends Facebook Politics Amid Criticism from Thai PM
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has robustly defended his and his father Hun Sen's use of Facebook for political communication, countering criticism from Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. In a recent statement, Hun Manet highlighted accusations from Thai politicians who claim that conducting political discourse via Facebook is unprofessional and ineffective. However, he pointed out that Thai leaders frequently rely on social media to communicate with the public and make declarations, sometimes without consulting Cambodia on critical issues. Manet remarked that Thai officials have discussed high-stakes matters like cutting electricity and internet services to Cambodia, as well as constructing a border fence, all through social media channels. "Is that professional?" he questioned, emphasising that Cambodia’s patience should not be mistaken for silence. "We don’t want trouble," he said, reinforcing the importance of maintaining peace and stability. Speaking at the closing of the National Scout Conference in Phnom Penh on June 17, Manet explained why social media is a preferred tool for political leaders worldwide, describing it as the fastest and most efficient means to reach and inform the public. His comments were in response to Paetongtarn’s statements on June 16, following a National Security Council meeting. She asserted that the Thai government conducts negotiations through official state channels, in line with international norms. Manet’s remarks underscore the growing debate about the role of social media in political discourse. While it offers immediacy and direct access to the public, critics argue it can sometimes bypass more formal and consultative diplomatic processes. In the broader context, Manet’s defence sheds light on regional political dynamics and communication strategies between neighbouring countries, as both nations navigate complex geopolitical relationships. The engagement through social media demonstrates a shift in how political narratives and public diplomacy are being shaped in the digital age. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai PBS 2025-06-18 -

Revenue Department to amend tax on foreign income remittance
What you, and some other members, either do not understand, or chose to ignore, probably because you are in the same boat, is that I knew I actually had to pay this tax. Many are simply relying on non enforcement, where as I purposely minimized my remittances by bringing in cash, and having cash brought in for me, so paid not much tax, and paid an agent to take care of it. Once again, I don't trust the Thai government, or officials, so I see the documents as nothing more than covering my a**. It's funny to me how meticulous members are to extend their visa, thus not an overstay every year, yet as for paying tax, they think the Thai government simply doesn't care about, and will never care about. I simply view these tax documents as compliance, in the same way I do with my extension. It's just another small cost of living in Thailand permanently. -

Community Heartbreaking Story of Schoolgirl Living Alone After Mother’s Death & Father’s Imprisonment
I know, but you can't expect that a 14year old has enough brains to stay alone.. In the West indeed there are case too, but here in Thailand which claims to take care of everyone and live a Buddhistic life this should be impossible.. and it is not the first case here this year we read about..Nothing to do with kids who run away from homes or are in foster care.. Here is no foster care..You can't compare ,,,, Except for the teacher there is/was a lack of common sense of everyone living around here... -

Report German Drug Dealer Arrested in Major Pattaya Sting Operation
I think the point being made was that his gun was found at his home, along with most of the drugs, not when he was initially apprehended.
