THAILAND LIVE Thailand Live Friday 11 July 2025
Thaksin May Urge Daughter's Resignation Amid Legal Struggle Picture courtesy of Thai Newsroom In a potentially dramatic political manoeuvre, Thaksin Shinawatra could soon tell his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, to resign. Facing significant legal challenges and currently suspended by Thailand's Constitutional Court, Paetongtarn's political future hangs in the balance. Thammasat University law lecturer Prinya Thaewanarumitkul suggests that Thaksin, a dominant figure in Thai politics, might see resignation as her best option to avoid further reputational damage.

Getting a laptop sent from Europe to Thailand - In three days!
Either you were very lucky or I was very unlucky. I had a personal laptop shipped from US to here using UPS. It took a few days to get here to Customs and then they held it in limbo for a week until I paid a "logistics" company to go there, grease all the palms, and get it released immediately. It was not cheap. I won't bore you with the long story but the whole experience was a nightmare. I will never do that again and don't recommend it to anyone. Instead, for expensive items, wait for friends or family to make a trip to Thailand and have them bring in their luggage. -

Report Pensioner Scammed in Fake Facebook Watch Auction
File photo for reference only A Thai pensioner, 65, was deceived into losing 48,100 baht through a counterfeit luxury watch auction on Facebook. Authorities are now probing the online fraud scheme. Mr Nithikarn, the victim, reported the incident to Pak Kret Police Station after engaging with a fraudulent Facebook page, "24 Ticker," which masqueraded as a legitimate auction site for second-hand luxury watches. On 4 July, Mr Nithikarn placed a bid on a second-hand Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The starting price was set at 29,000 baht, and it seemed like numerous users were engaging, with bids climbing to 47,000 baht. Mr Nithikarn eventually placed the winning bid of 48,000 baht just before the auction closed at 2pm. After winning, the page administrator contacted Mr Nithikarn, asking for the 48,000 baht plus a 100 baht delivery fee. Trusting the page's legitimacy because of apparent bidder involvement and lack of negative feedback, Mr Nithikarn transferred a total of 48,100 baht to a Bangkok Bank account in the name of Thawatchai. The scam unravelled when an alleged insurance company demanded an additional 9,999 baht for shipping insurance, not mentioned in the auction terms. Upon Mr Nithikarn’s refusal to pay and request for a refund, the fraudsters cut off all contact. Mr Nithikarn suspects the presence of accomplices who staged bidding to create a veneer of credibility. He now advises other online shoppers to be extremely cautious when purchasing expensive branded items on social media, suggesting they visit physical stores instead. The police have pinpointed the recipient bank account and are working on freezing it while preparing a summons for the account holder. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-11 -
