In a riveting scene more theatrical than a courtroom drama, the People’s Party is taking center stage, spotlighting the Social Security Office (SSO) with intentions as sharp as the tip of a spear. With Rukchanok Srinork, an audacious MP, the narrative has been stirred like a suspenseful novel seeking to unearth the truth behind the facades of governmental spending. Amidst the early breezes of March, Srinork rallied the troops with a fiery call for transparency, poking at the behemoth agency for its puzzling expenditures, including a real estate endeavor that costs more than a king’s ransom. Adding a touch of intrigue is MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, who has swerved this plot into a gripping investigation about calendars. Not just your grandma’s wall decorations — no — these are the 50 million baht state-funded kind. Wiroj, through a Facebook post that could rival any fiery tweet storm, alerted the public to the…

Picture this: a 50-year-old man, unfazed, stood isolated on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by the unforgiving sea, with strong waves crashing against his precarious position. Off the coast of Bang Saen in Thailand’s Chon Buri province, this brave — or perhaps, depending on your viewpoint, slightly foolhardy — man was not deterred by the tumultuous sea. But as tides rose, so did the concerns of those onshore. Community members peeping from the safety of the beach notified local authorities, setting into motion a rescue mission that would captivate the seaside town on that fateful Monday evening. At precisely 6:30 PM, with shadows lengthening under the waning sunlight, the rescue forces arrived on scene. Armed with their essential gear, police and rescue workers were greeted by the sight of the man, resolutely holding his fishing line about 150 meters from the shore, seemingly unperturbed by the aggressive surf. To the casual…

In a dramatic turn of events that shook the heart of Bangkok, an elaborate operation led by the Metropolitan Police Bureau uncovered a staggering 6,596 pieces of illegal e-cigarettes hidden within the confines of a plush condominium in the Bang Kapi district. The raid, executed on May 26, saw the arrest of two individuals—a 40-year-old man named Anan and a 28-year-old woman named Phankwan—allegedly employed to sell and distribute these illicit goods. Detectives from the Special Tools and News Analysis Division, acting on a tip-off, secured a search warrant and swooped into action. Inside the chic residence, they unearthed a veritable treasure trove of e-cigarette paraphernalia. This included a wide array of e-liquids, e-cigarette coils, and an astonishing variety of disposable e-cigarettes, ranging in puff counts from a modest 6,000 to a mind-boggling 15,000. Such a massive haul wasn’t just a mere felony—it was a glaring testament to the booming…

Brace yourselves, Cherng Talay residents! A significant power outage is set to unfold on Thursday, May 29, thanks to the diligent folks over at the Provincial Electricity Authority’s Thalang branch (PEA Thalang). This isn’t just your average flick of the switch; it’s a grand scheme to overhaul the high-voltage distribution system. Starting at 9 a.m. and extending to a hopeful 4:30 p.m., this power hiatus will cast its shadow from the bustling Blue Tree Water Park all the way to the charming entrance of Wat Thepwanaram.

PEA Thalang assures that this repetition is for a noble cause: the relocation and dismantling of high-voltage poles. What does this ultimately mean for us? A boost in…

In the charming town of Phetchabun, intrigue and curiosity are swirling around a peculiar chain of events that might just hint at a touch of serendipity. Imagine this: a homeowner finds fortune smiling upon them as their house number, 309, aligns with a winning lottery draw. Riding this wave of good luck, their gaze falls upon their car’s registration number, 7984, which they now hope will repeat the miraculous strike in the upcoming draw. In a twist of fate that seems plucked from a tale of destiny, a video making the rounds on Facebook captures a moment that has locals buzzing. On the shimmering rooftop of a carport, a long, emerald-hued snake was engaged in a mesmerizing dance of predator and prey with an unsuspecting sparrow. Accompanying this evocative visual was a caption teeming with optimism: “Last draw was 309, this time we’re going all out. Luck is at our…

In the bustling cityscape of Udon Thani, a seemingly benevolent act transformed into an unexpected sideshow, turning the spotlight on a hapless auto mechanic who made headlines, albeit not the kind he’d hoped for. The protagonist of this peculiar tale, a 45-year-old mechanic with a heart as big as his wrench, found himself in a comedic quandary after his well-intentioned scheme to aid a local food vendor went awry in a most spectacular fashion. Picture this: a modest food stall nestled along a street that boasted plenty of delectable offerings but precious little parking. The mechanic, armed with a heart full of goodwill and a can of grey spray paint, made a spur-of-the-moment decision to rectify the situation. His earnest plan? To transform the no-parking zone into a haven for patrons’ vehicles by dousing the red-and-white markers with a coat of neutral grey, thereby creating the illusion of a legal…
