Report Thaksin Donates 1m Baht: Boosts Border Cops' Morale
You have verifiable links and figures for your claim or am I supposed to take your word for it? You haven't even come up with even a guesstimate let alone a percentage, which was a relatively simple request. No, you asked 'What percentage of Thais ridicule him?' and my reply was 'many', I did not quote figures nor did I claim any. Just for your educational purposes, from the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Many: 1: consisting of or amounting to a large but indefinite number 2: being one of a large but indefinite number How many Thais have you personally met and asked them what they think about Thaksin out of the probable 40 million voters? 39,539,190, I refuse to ever step foot in Phuket again, so some of these voters are inaccessible. The PPP are supposed to be the most popular party in Thailand. Granted that they won more seats than any other party at the last election, yet they still could not form a government, not even a coalition government with any other political party. Neither could the PTP. 🙃 All that you can do is cry that your crooked idol is being picked on by nearly everyone. Do you really believe that he is innocent and all that he does is for the good of the Thai people. Blinded by the truth. -

Crime Authorities Seize 2.5 Million Meth Pills Near Border
Picture courtesy of Naewna. Security forces in Chiang Rai have seized 2.5 million methamphetamine pills near the Mekong River border in Chiang Saen district, in what is believed to be part of a major cross-border drug trafficking operation. On the night of 4 August, at approximately 23:00, officers from Narcotics Suppression Operation Unit 32, under the Third Narcotics Suppression Command (NSOU 32), in coordination with the Internal Security Operations Division and local administrative officials from Chiang Saen district, acted on intelligence regarding a drug trafficking attempt. Authorities had received a tip-off that a large quantity of meth pills would be smuggled across the Mekong River from a neighbouring country into Thailand. The drugs were then expected to be transported along rural roads to storage locations before being moved further into the country. Security personnel launched a coordinated patrol and surveillance operation, focusing on key rural roads in the area. During their sweep, they discovered a suspicious pile of ten sacks hidden among tall grass along a roadside in Ban San That, Moo 4, Yonok Subdistrict, around 6 to 7 kilometres from the Mekong River. The sacks had been carefully concealed with branches and foliage, but no suspects were present at the scene. Upon inspection, each sack was found to contain approximately 250,000 methamphetamine pills, totalling around 2.5 million pills. Officials believe the traffickers abandoned the drugs upon realising they were being monitored and fled the scene. All seized narcotics have been handed over to Chiang Saen Police Station as evidence. Authorities are now expanding their investigation to identify and apprehend those involved in the smuggling operation. The seizure marks yet another significant blow to transnational drug networks operating along Thailand’s northern border. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-08-06 -

Finance Tax Break Bonanza: Thais to Benefit from New Foreign Income Rule
The term "Thai tax residents" includes expats who live here 180 days or more per year and have a pension transferred. It's been mentioned numerous times in this thread already but the Thai tax code applies to all Thai tax residents equally, regardless of nationality, gender, race, creed, or AN membership. -

Crime DSI Investigates Land Dispute in Buriram
Picture courtesy of Komchadluek. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has requested official records from four state agencies in its ongoing investigation into the controversial land ownership claims surrounding the Khao Kradong area in Buriram Province. The case, which may involve state land, has raised concerns about possible criminal offences, including money laundering. The probe stems from a formal complaint by Kusumalavadee Sirikomut, a former senatorial candidate, who questioned the legality of land claims made by certain individuals and groups in the area. The DSI’s investigation team, assigned to case no. 97/2568, convened on 4 August, to assess the matter and coordinate with relevant agencies, including the Department of Lands, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), and Buriram provincial authorities. Preliminary findings reveal that on 27 May 1955, the SRT registered its possession of approximately 5,083 rai of land in the area under the Sor Kor 1 (S.K.1) system, based on its occupation of the land prior to the enforcement of the Land Code on 1 December 1954. The basis for the SRT’s claim lies in a 1921 Royal Decree designating the area for railway construction, a decree which effectively restricted public land use. The land was declared under S.K.1 no. 1180, with local officials acknowledging the SRT’s long-standing use and occupation of the area. However, investigators have now discovered that other individuals in the same region have also filed S.K.1 declarations, potentially overlapping with the SRT’s claim. Under Section 5 of the Land Code Act, S.K.1 declarations do not automatically grant land ownership rights. Moreover, Section 10 prohibits the issuance of land title deeds for public domain or reserved land, including areas protected under earlier legislation such as the 1935 Act on the Preservation of Vacant Public Lands. Accordingly, any land plots within the boundaries claimed by the SRT cannot legally be titled unless claimants can prove they held superior possession rights predating the 1921 Royal Decree. The investigation further revealed that in June 1987, the SRT attempted to convert its S.K.1 documents into full land title deeds. Thirteen parcels of land covering 477 rai were successfully titled, while the remainder remain under dispute, pending resolution at the Buriram Land Office. Official land office records now bear notices warning that any land rights documents within the disputed area may be subject to cancellation, amendment or revocation. Any parties proceeding with land transactions must be informed of this potential risk and record their acknowledgement accordingly. One notable discovery in the case is a single legal entity currently holding over 400 rai of land within the SRT’s claimed area. If it is proven that this entity or others involved have unlawfully obtained land documents or engaged in illegal possession or exploitation of the land, particularly if the land is classified as a natural resource, they could face charges under anti-money laundering laws. This includes commercial misuse of natural resources and may also implicate state officials across various departments. The DSI has affirmed that further legal action will be taken in accordance with its mandate, as it works to unravel what could be a significant case involving land fraud and misuse of public property.
