Politics Sondhi and Jatuporn Join Forces Against Thaksin's Legacy
Picture courtesy of Facebook คาราโอเกะชั้นใต้ดิน Former major protest leaders Sondhi Limthongkul and Jatuporn Prompan – who were once on opposite sides regarding former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra – made a public show of unity in their efforts to target the father of Thailand's current prime minister. In 2005, Mr Sondhi used his ASTV satellite television channel to launch a public crusade against Thaksin. He became a leader of the yellow-shirt People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) movement, which mobilised tens of thousands of protesters against Thaksin’s government in mid-2006. On Sept 19, 2006, then army chief Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin staged a coup and seized power from Thaksin. Jatuporn Prompan, leader of the People’s Unity Group, is a former leader of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) and a key political ally of the ruling Pheu Thai Party, now led by Thaksin’s daughter and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Sondhi and Jatuporn appeared together and confirmed their partnership at the former’s discussion event at Thammasat University in Bangkok on Sunday. Jatuporn was not what he used to be and he suffered from what he used to believe, Sondhi said. Jatuporn had worked for Thaksin but at present was fighting against Thaksin and ready to work for the public interest, Mr Sondhi said. He said he invited Jatuporn to support his movement. Mr Sondhi earlier threatened to hold street protests unless the government scraps the 2001 memorandum of understanding (MoU) on maritime claims in the Gulf of Thailand. He previously said the MoU had created an overlapping claims area (OCA) covering 26,000 square kilometres, mainly benefiting Cambodia. The OCA is believed to be rich in fossil energy resources. Signed with Cambodia during the Thaksin Shinawatra administration, the MoU allowed Cambodia to draw the boundary of its territorial waters within Thai maritime territory as declared by King Rama IX in 1973, based on international law, Mr Sondhi said. Critics worry a loss of sovereignty will result. On Sunday Mr Jatuporn said Thaksin had admitted to law violations but had not been imprisoned for a single day. People were opposing Thaksin due to the issues of privileges and double standards, he said. It was time for the country to make a restart while adhering to the strength of its main institutions and its people, Mr Jatuporn said. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-26 -

Immigration Thailand Digital Arrival Card. TDAC
I used the government TDAC site today. When I completed it, it showed download so I tapped it. It wasn't my details but a Chinese persons details with Chinese passport. But with the email I immediately received is showing all my correct details with QR code. The PDF attached to my email is the Chinese persons details. So then I went to me desktop PC and entered my arrival card info and passport number to double check and all my details were correct. My concern is why did I get someone else's passport details and could this happen to me. Should I just ignore this downloaded Chinese details and delete it off my device? -

Crime Gunfire & Explosions in Phuket as Teen Gang War Leaves Innocent Bystander Injured
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Chaos erupted in Phuket early morning on 25 May, when a violent clash between rival youth gangs turned a local market street into a war zone. Explosives were hurled and gunfire erupted, leaving an innocent shopkeeper injured by a stray bullet. At approximately 00:35, Lt. Sumet Phetruanthong, an investigator from Mueang Phuket Police Station, received reports of a disturbance involving motorcycles, explosives and gunfire near Chamcha Market in Talad Nuea subdistrict. Responding officers arrived to find a group of youths had fled into a shop within the market as their rivals pursued them. The assailants then fired multiple gunshots into the premises, mistakenly hitting a 31-year-old man named Jeeratip, a shopkeeper who had no involvement in the dispute. He sustained a gunshot wound to his right arm, with the bullet lodged inside. He was rushed to Vachira Phuket Hospital for medical treatment. Police forensic teams later recovered one 9mm shell casing, a bullet head and remnants of a large firecracker used as an improvised explosive. The incident has shocked local residents and raised concerns over the escalating violence involving youth gangs in the area. Authorities have launched an urgent manhunt for those responsible. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to identify and arrest the gang members involved. Police have pledged to intensify patrols and crack down on gang activity to restore public safety in the city. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-26.
