Tourism Bangkok and Koh Samui Shine as Europe’s Favorite Getaways
Sasikan Wattanachan. Picture courtesy of The Nation Bangkok and Koh Samui have nabbed the limelight, with Thailand reigning supreme as the top summer getaway for European travellers for a second consecutive year. According to an Agoda survey, travellers from Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Spain are leading the charge, keen on the country’s dynamic culture and idyllic beaches. As Deputy Government Spokesperson Sasikan Wattanachan notes, Thailand's year-round efforts to energise tourism are clearly paying off. As temperatures in Europe rise, so too does interest in Thai destinations. The survey points out a notable upswing in hotel searches from countries like Greece, showing a 67% increase; the Czech Republic with a bump of 26%; and Poland up by 16%. This data underpins Thailand's magnetic appeal as a top-tier holiday spot, drawing Europeans eager for an exotic escapade. The islands of Koh Samui and Phuket have particularly caught the eye, thanks in part to exposure from HBO's "The White Lotus", heightening interest among Western holidaymakers. Despite a modest dip of 2.7% in overall international footfall in 2025, the Thai tourism scene isn't waving the white flag. Recent stats from late May to early June spotlight a tourism upswing, with a 29.3% rise in visitors from close quarters like Malaysia and a 9.6% climb in long-haul entries. The influx showcases Thailand's unwavering strength in attracting holidaymakers globally. Tourism remains a cornerstone of Thailand's economic structure, as stressed by Sasikan. The country’s devotion to orchestrating vibrant year-round events continues to draw tourists. With such strategic focus, Thailand retains its allure as a prime European getaway.

Crime Handbag Queue Brawl Turns Violent: Man Stabs Rival in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A violent altercation over the purchase of a limited addition handbag has led to a stabbing incident in Bangkok, after tensions from a previous brawl boiled over and one man tracked down and attacked a rival shopper. The suspect, identified only as Mr. Suradet, 45, was arrested by officers from Samran Rat Police Station following an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court (No. 3013/2568, dated 26 May 2025). He was found in possession of a .32 calibre revolver, 60 rounds of ammunition, and a camouflage-patterned folding knife. The arrest took place outside the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) on Charan Sanitwong Road in Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi. The incident stems from a mass brawl on 21 March at a shopping centre in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi, where a group of shoppers clashed over queue positions for purchasing a limited-edition designer handbag. The chaos prompted the store and shopping mall to temporarily suspend the sale of the high-demand items. Following the initial altercation, Mr. Suradet reportedly held a grudge and began tracking members of the rival group. He eventually encountered them on Khlong Lot Road in Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, where he used a knife to stab one victim, inflicting serious injuries. He then fled the scene. Investigators from Samran Rat Police Station reviewed CCTV footage and launched a manhunt that culminated in Mr. Suradet’s arrest on 4 June at approximately 16:00. Police have charged Mr. Suradet with multiple serious offences including attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition and carrying weapons in public. He is currently in custody and has been handed over to investigators at Samran Rat Police Station for further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-04
