Hungarian Detained in Thailand for Illegal Motorbike Business
A 40-year-old Hungarian man, Laszlo Meszaros, was arrested on the Thai island of Koh Pha Ngan for allegedly operating a motorbike rental business, an occupation reserved exclusively for Thai nationals. The arrest, overseen by Police Colonel Apichart Chansamret, came after numerous tourist complaints that Meszaros threatened customers with an air gun over disputes about motorbike damages and unpaid fees. During the search of his rented home, police confiscated the air gun and discovered 29 passports from other tourists, intensifying concerns about his operations. Meszaros entered Thailand on a tourist visa without a proper work permit and had nine motorbikes available for hire. Despite allegations against him, he denies using the air gun for intimidation. However, he faces charges for engaging in a business prohibited to foreigners, as Thai law requires certain occupations, like motorbike rentals, to be conducted only by citizens. This incident is part of a broader crackdown on foreigners illegally engaging in business activities usually preserved for Thais. The authorities are keen on curbing such practices to protect local employment. Meszaros remains in police custody while investigations are ongoing, marking yet another example of the stringent enforcement of Thailand’s business regulations on its shores, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-14 -

Russia Rejects Trump's Temporary Ukraine Ceasefire Offer
A ceasefire would basically freeze the front lines where they are. Could be that Putin won't agree to a ceasefire while Ukraine still holds Russian territory in the Kursk region. -

Slovenia Voices Concern over Thailand's Deportation of Uyghurs
File photo for reference only Slovenia has expressed regret over Thailand's decision to deport 40 Uyghurs back to China, with Deputy Prime Minister Tanja Fajon urging the importance of human rights considerations among UN Human Rights Council members. The Uyghurs, detained for ten years in a Thai immigration facility, were moved to China's Xinjiang region last month, raising fears of persecution. Western nations and global rights groups have criticised the repatriation, voicing concerns over potential ill-treatment by Chinese authorities. Despite the uproar, Fajon remains optimistic, highlighting the necessity for open discussions and increased European engagement to ensure human rights adherence. During her two-day official visit to Thailand, Fajon emphasised continued collaboration, appreciating Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa's willingness to discuss sensitive issues. Her trip preceded her visit to the Philippines, marking an effort to strengthen diplomatic relations in the region, reported Thai PBS World. -- 2025-03-14
