Politics House Chaos: First Meeting Ends in Under an Hour Due to Quorum Fiasco
Picture courtesy of PPTV36 The much-anticipated first meeting of Thailand's newly opened House of Representatives session ended in disappointment today, lasting less than an hour due to quorum issues. MPs gathered eagerly in the chamber, but just 30 minutes in, a Palang Pracharath MP called for an official quorum count. Chaos ensued as Deputy House Speaker Pichet Chuamuangpan was forced to halt proceedings. With lawmakers scattered around the parliamentary premises, the standoff saw Pheu Thai MPs attempting to prolong matters with a time-consuming roll-call attendance. Despite the scramble, many were missing in action, marking an embarrassing start for the new session. Ultimately, Pichet called it quits after a futile 45-minute effort, underscoring the absence of the required 248 MPs from a total of 495 to officially proceed. Key on the session agenda was a controversial proposal from the Pheu Thai-led government to introduce casinos under "entertainment complex" projects. This topic likely faces delays due to substantial opposition from lawmakers and public backlash, highlighting contentious start issues for the new government. In a separate twist, Thai Sang Thai leader Sudarat Keyurapan demanded the resignation of party MP Takorn Tantasith. The reason? A ministerial appointment for his son in the latest Pheu Thai cabinet, clashing with the party’s position in the opposition bloc. The young Chantawit Tantasith was offered the deputy commerce minister role by Thammanat Prompao, closely linked with Pheu Thai's influential figure, Thaksin Shinawatra. Adding to the political drama, Thaksin’s daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, was temporarily ousted by a Constitutional Court order amidst an impeachment trial. Still, she remains active in other cabinet areas, setting culture policy under the guidance of Phumtham Wechayachai. He leads the government as acting prime minister amidst complexities in the ruling coalition. This episode leaves Thailand's legislative landscape muddled, underscoring political divisions and operational hurdles as the new session lurches forward. With immediate business halted, the implications for upcoming policies and governance remain precarious. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-07-04 -

Report Taxi Driver Strands Schoolgirls, Demands Double Fare in Bangkok
Just because he's trying to get your missus in the cot doesn't make him a good person. Maybe not as bad as the rest of them but I reckon he's still a bastard. 😂 -

Tourism CIB Warns Public of Fake SMS Scam Targeting “Khon La Khrueng” Tourism Scheme
Picture courtesy of CIB Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has issued an urgent warning to the public regarding a new wave of fraudulent SMS messages designed to trick recipients into clicking malicious links in the name of the popular government tourism subsidy programme, Khon La Khrueng (Half-Half Co-Payment Scheme). According to the CIB, scammers are exploiting the registration period for the 2025 Khon La Khrueng scheme by sending SMS messages that falsely claim to offer registration assistance. The messages direct recipients to click on a link that promises to provide a One-Time Password (OTP) required for registration confirmation. Officials clarified that registration for the scheme must only be carried out through the official website or the Amazing Thailand mobile application. Once users register through these platforms, the legitimate system will send a verification OTP via the registered email, not through SMS. “There will be absolutely no SMS messages from the system containing links or OTPs,” the CIB stressed in a public statement. “If you receive such a message, do not click the link under any circumstances.” The bureau urged the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious messages to the authorities. They emphasised that falling for such scams could result in identity theft, financial loss, or the unauthorised use of personal information. The Khon La Khrueng initiative, popular among Thai citizens, provides government subsidies to promote domestic tourism. Scammers have regularly targeted such public programmes in the past, taking advantage of citizens’ eagerness to secure benefits. Authorities reminded the public to follow official channels for all updates and procedures and not to share sensitive information, such as personal ID numbers or OTPs, with unverified sources.

Thai issued IDP accepted in Japan for British national?
Yes you can get a 1949 ver of IDP from the DLT, they usually ask where you will be using it as both versions are available, I have used it in Japan previously. Will need certificate of residence to get it and if you want both motorcycle/car they sometimes ask for a certificate of residence for each. I don't think foreigners can book this service with the DLT queue app so you just need to go there are queue for it.
