Zelensky’s Actions That Provoked Trump: Tensions Rise Over Ukraine War Negotiations

Thailand Cracks Down: Police to Monitor Foreign Nationals Closely
When you resort to playing the blame game, you lose. Yes, some foreigners come to Thailand with bad intentions and need to be shown the door, and then some are just complete idiots. The fact you are targeting foreigners makes us targets; I have many good friends, shop owners in the city, and village people, but what bothers me are the Thai people I don't know. They will put their spin on this and become abusive or even become violent. -

Buddhist Monk Suspended Amid Scandal Over Inappropriate Video Call
Picture of some of the protesters at the remole. A Buddhist monk in Rayong province has been suspended from his duties following the release of a controversial video clip allegedly showing him engaging in inappropriate behaviour during a video call with a woman. The incident has sparked outrage among local residents, who have called for his permanent removal from the monastery. On 22 February, a large gathering of nearly 100 residents assembled at a temple in Ban Chang District to demand answers regarding the viral video. Reports suggest that the clip, which has been widely circulated, shows a monk in a senior position engaging in lewd behaviour, masturbating, while on a video call with a woman using a cucumber in an act of mutual stimulation. The controversy has prompted an official investigation by the provincial Buddhist authorities. The district monastic chief confirmed that the Office of National Buddhism had received the footage and launched an inquiry, leading to the temporary suspension of the monk in question. During questioning, the monk admitted to being the individual in the video and acknowledged his misconduct. According to sources, the woman involved had allegedly befriended the monk via a messaging app before initiating the explicit video call. She later used the recorded footage to blackmail the monk, initially demanding THB 50,000, which he paid. However, when she later demanded an additional THB 200,000, the monk refused, leading to the public release of the footage. The monk has since reported the blackmail attempt to the police in Ban Chang District, seeking legal recourse against the woman involved. Local resident Mrs. Relai, 64, expressed her disappointment, stating, "We are relieved that senior monastic officials have stepped in to investigate. However, we do not want this monk to return to our community under any circumstances. If he does, we will ensure that the evidence is presented to higher authorities." Officials from the monastic governing body have assured the public that a thorough investigation will be conducted before a final decision is made regarding the monk’s status. The case will be reviewed at the provincial level, with potential disciplinary actions to follow. -- 2025-02-24 -

Desperate Husband Offers 20,000 Baht for Missing Wife's Return
Photo of the missing woman // Photo via Khaosod In a heartfelt plea that has captured widespread attention, a Chon Buri man, Khomsan, has offered a reward of 20,000 baht for any information leading to the whereabouts of his missing wife, who disappeared on February 19. The 36-year-old contractor from the Ban Bueng district is deeply concerned for her well-being, especially as she left without her belongings or money. Together for over a decade, Khomsan and his wife share three children—a 10-year-old daughter and two sons, aged six and four. Her sudden absence at 7.30am that day has left a void in the family, with Khomsan and the children anxiously awaiting her return. The only lead thus far has surfaced from CCTV footage, which captured his wife walking near a Mitsubishi dealership and the Nong Chak intersection, moving away from their home. This image has spurred Khomsan's search efforts, which include filing a report with the Ban Bueng Police Station. Khomsan insists there were no disruptions in their relationship, no quarrel that might hint at her voluntary departure. Communication had been normal, and her disappearance was entirely unexpected. His primary concern remains their children's growing questions regarding their mother's absence. While attempting to shield them by saying she’s on errands, he is burdened by the uncertainty of how long he can maintain this narrative without answers. He appeals tirelessly to the public, hoping that offering a monetary incentive will prompt someone with pertinent information to come forward and assist in reuniting their family. Meanwhile, in a related and troubling story, another Thai woman has been missing for three months. Her parents expressed fears for her safety after evidence surfaced that she suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her Bangladeshi boyfriend in Oman. Friends have informed them about her distress prior to her sudden disappearance, compounding their worries. These distressing cases highlight the personal turmoil that families undergo when loved ones are lost, and the ongoing need for communal vigilance and cooperation to ensure these individuals' safe return, reported Khaosod. -- 2025-02-24 -

Illegal Condo Rentals Spark Concerns in Thailand
Photo via Drama-addict Facebook page A growing issue over allegedly illegal condo rentals by Chinese owners has recently surfaced in Thailand, drawing significant attention and concerns from local residents and authorities. This trend sees Chinese nationals purchasing properties and renting them out as short-term accommodations, sidestepping the regulations normally required for hotel operations. The problem was highlighted by a popular Facebook page, which has detailed the plight of residents in affected buildings. These residents have seen an increasing number of foreigners with luggage entering their buildings, giving the appearance of bustling hotels rather than peaceful homes. The page reveals that these condo owners are predominantly Chinese, often owning numerous units within a single building—sometimes dominating entire floors. The consequence for other residents is an environment akin to living in a busy hotel, disrupting their peace and daily lives. Furthermore, these short-term tenants, often arriving without understanding or caring for communal regulations, engage in activities such as indoor cannabis smoking, alcohol consumption in shared spaces, and even swimming in pools with shoes on. In some cases, parking areas have been used improperly, with reports of tourists driving against the flow of traffic. These actions not only cause disconcerting disturbances but also leave the management of these buildings with few options, as tourists usually leave before any damages can be assessed or rectified. In efforts to combat this issue, some buildings have turned to technology, installing face scan systems to restrict access and replace traditional keycard systems. However, these measures seem to fall short, as the scanning systems continue to register an alarming rate of around 70 to 100 new entries each month. Attempts to engage the Department of Provincial Administration for inspections have proven problematic, as there appears to be no designated authority responsible for regulating daily rentals. Without decisive intervention from building managers or government bodies, the problem seems set to persist, as reported by KhaoSod. In a related twist, former senator Rosana Tositrakul has recently called on the Bangkok governor to enforce a decade-old court order concerning the demolition of the Aetas condominium in Pathumwan district. The 21-storey building remains in defiance of the Building Control Act, continuing to stand despite the Supreme Administrative Court's directive for its removal. The scale of illegal rentals and unresolved building violations presents an ongoing challenge, raising questions about the enforceability of regulations and the balance between property ownership and community welfare in Thailand's rapidly developing urban landscape, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-24
