They’ve raised eyebrows and legal paperwork, directing their concerns to the Constitutional Court regarding the Prime Minister’s recent decision to appoint Pichit Chuenban as the PM’s Office Minister. The bone of contention? A potential violation of the ethical code, they argue, which could see Srettha facing suspension. Yet, Srettha Thavisin, amidst the heritage of Rome, remained unfazed. “Distraction is not an option,” he seemed to convey through his calm demeanor. The essence of his response to…

The target of this meticulously planned raid was a high-ranking public works official from the esteemed Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. This wasn’t just any routine apprehension; the stakes were sky-high, with allegations swirling around the official for demanding a jaw-dropping nine-million-baht bribe. But this was no ordinary bribe; it was a sum demanded in exchange for manipulating the path of a future road project, diverting it away from a luxurious golf…
