Man Found Dead in Pond After Two Days Missing
Picture from responders. A man from Nakhon Ratchasima was found dead in a pond after being missing for two days, triggering a search operation by rescue teams. At approximately 14:00 on the 4th of February, the local police station in Krabi district received a report about a missing person, identified as 49-year-old Mr. Tawee from Moo 3, Cha Sub-district, Krabi District, Nakhon Ratchasima. His family reported that he had been missing since Sunday, February 2nd. On the 4th of February, the family found his shoes and motorcycle parked near a pond, prompting fears that he may have drowned. They immediately alerted local authorities. Rescue workers from the Hook 31 Korat team, alongside a team of underwater rescue divers, arrived at the scene to search for the missing person. The pond, located within the village, had murky water, and surrounding vegetation made the search difficult. The rescue divers, using ropes for safety, began their search underwater. At around 15:05, the team discovered Mr. Tawee’s body. The family of the deceased mentioned that Mr. Tawee had left the house on Sunday, February 2nd, after asking for 100 baht. He had not returned home since then. On February 4th, the family found his personal belongings by the pond and began to worry about the possibility of him drowning. They also expressed concerns about the presence of large monitor lizards in the area that could have caused further harm to his body. Initial investigations suggest that Mr. Tawee might have been swimming or fishing alone in the pond, but the cooler water temperature, may have caused him to suffer from cramps, making it impossible to reach the shore. His family does not suspect foul play, but they have agreed to have the body sent to Krabi Hospital for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death before proceeding with funeral arrangements. -- 2025-02-06 -

Foreigner Sparks Outrage for Doing Thai-Only Job in Phuket
video screenshot A recent video showing a foreigner doing the work of a masseur at a spa in Phuket has ignited a storm of controversy across Thailand, highlighting a sensitive issue around employment laws reserved for Thai nationals. Captured on a bustling street in Patong, the video portrays a foreign man engaging in duties that many argue should be strictly off-limits to expatriates under Thai law. This footage, widely circulated on social media, has drawn a torrent of criticism and calls for enforcement of existing regulations. Thailand's Emergency Decree on Foreigners' Work Management, enacted in 2017, clearly stipulates that certain occupations are exclusively for Thais. This includes roles deeply embedded in Thai culture, like traditional masseurs, woodcarvers, street vendors, and several others. Such restrictions aim to preserve what is often referred to as "Thai wisdom" and protect employment for local citizens. The viral video has led to an outpouring of reactions online. Critics of the foreign masseur argue that allowing non-nationals to step into these roles undermines the integrity and economic prospects of local Thai workers. One concerned netizen remarked that, "This sets a dangerous precedent if left unchecke, soon Thai traditions might face gradual dilution." However, some locals suggest there is a deeper issue at play. The challenge of enticing Thai nationals to fill these traditional roles has been spotlighted, with business owners facing hurdles due to high demands for wages and specific working conditions from Thai candidates. An observer noted, "It's not just about foreigners taking jobs—it's also about the evolving aspirations of our own workforce." Statistics from last year underline this issue; the Employment Department uncovered 721 instances of foreigners engaged in prohibited professions, encompassing tasks from vending to hairdressing. The law enforces strict penalties for such violations. Foreigners caught working in these roles can face fines up to 50,000 Thai Baht (approximately £1,100) and deportation. Employers risk far heftier consequences, including fines reaching 200,000 Thai Baht (around £4,500), potential imprisonment, and a three-year prohibition from hiring foreign workers, reported The Nation. -- 2025-02-06 -
