Pai's Deportation of International Musicians Sparks Outcry
Picture courtesy: Khaosod A heated controversy has emerged following the deportation of Brazilian musician, Matheus, after he was detained by Thai immigration authorities in Pai, Mae Hong Son province. The incident, which involved a minor work permit infraction, has provoked significant debate over the appropriateness of the measures employed. Matheus’s partner, Yael, an Israeli tourist, responded swiftly, drawing media attention to what she perceives as excessive handling of the case. She recounted the ordeal in an impassioned email dated February 16, describing the distressing circumstances faced by Matheus and other musicians apprehended at a live performance in Jazz House restaurant on February 13. The detention has also disrupted Matheus’s scheduled tour in Japan. Yael's plea articulated the difficult conditions under which Matheus and his fellow musicians were held, left without basic provisions and forced to sleep on the floor for two nights. The court hearing on February 15 resulted in a 5,000 baht fine for the performers, including Matheus. Nevertheless, their ordeal extended as they were subsequently moved to Mae Hong Son immigration detention, sparking further questions around the severity of the punishment. The incident involved four individuals: Brian, an Irish national and Jazz House owner, and three musicians – Matheus, along with Israelis Mr. Yishay and Mr. Shay. While Brian was bailed out on 120,000 baht for operating without official business registration, the musicians faced varied fines for their role in the situation. Notably, Mr. Shay was fined 8,000 baht for working outside the scope of his permitted activities. Matheus, who had been touring Thailand for three months, found his professional commitments disrupted as he was scheduled to perform in Japan from February 17. The events took a surprising turn with his deportation, a move that many view as heavy-handed relative to the offense. This occurrence brings to light mounting tensions in Pai, where an increase in foreign workers has provoked calls for rigorous enforcement of work permits, echoing local apprehensions about job competition. Thai immigration authorities, responding to these concerns, have ramped up enforcement but face scrutiny from those who argue the approach lacks proportionality, reported Khaosod. As the situation continues to unfold, it underscores the delicate balance between maintaining regulatory integrity and ensuring enforcement measures are just and fair, especially within a context as unique as Pai’s thriving musical and tourist scene. The case of Matheus and his fellow musicians stands as a poignant example of the complexities entwined in regulatory enforcement, cultural dynamics, and personal narratives within this picturesque part of Thailand. -- 2025-02-18 -

Three Killed by Train While Catching Birds in Lamphun
Picture from responders. Three men were killed after being struck by a train while sitting on the railway tracks in Lamphun province. The collision occurred at approximately 20:00 on 17 February, near the rear of the DoHome shopping centre in Umong subdistrict, Mueang Lamphun district. Police from Mueang Lamphun Station, along with medical personnel and emergency responders, arrived at the scene to find the bodies of three men who had been thrown from the tracks upon impact. Their shocked companions, who were present at the scene, provided details of the incident. According to their account, the group had arrived at the location around 17:00 in a pickup truck to catch birds. The three victims had been drinking near the railway tracks while waiting for their friends, who had ventured into nearby scrubland to find the birds. It is believed that the deceased, for some unknown reason, failed to notice the approaching train, which was heading towards Chiang Mai, resulting in the fatal collision. Authorities are currently investigating the incident further. The bodies of the deceased have been sent to hospital for examination. The names of the victims has not been disclosed. -- 2025-02-18 -
