Journalists reported that police officers ordered reporters to not present the news of the arrest, as it was feared that it would cause negativity to Pattaya’s tourism.

Maybe this explains why the murder by a ladyboy mob on soi 7 some weeks ago was not reported.

I'm not following this...

If the Thai police "ordered" journalists not to report the news of the arrest, then what's the article in the Pattaya Daily News doing there, and why are the police mugging in the photos with the usual re-enactment scenes and finger pointing?

No mention, of course, of any circumstances of how or why the murder occurred. But lots of nice re-enactment photos...

bannork · July 2Jul 2

Nigel Farage has declared earning £270,000 for promoting gold bullion, making it the largest outside payment he has registered since entering Parliament and reigniting scrutiny over his lucrative earnings beyond Westminster.

trumps poo flown back from turkey

3NUMBAS · 11 hours ago11 hr

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Chomper Higgot · yesterday at 12:18 AM1 day

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win
