In today’s digital age, caution in online interactions is more important than ever, as evidenced by the unsettling tale of Noina, a young Thai woman whose mother’s digital deceit has spiraled into a threat on her life. The ordeal began innocuously enough with seemingly innocent phone calls, but it quickly escalated into a catastrophe, encompassing romance, lies, and a most unwanted spotlight on Noina’s life, all played out under the glaring lights of social media. Noina, bewildered and desperate, turned to TikTok on an urgent June day seeking a digital army of support to help quash her mother’s brazen impersonation. On her account, @napapaaaaaaaaaa, she implored viewers to share her videos, raising a cry for caution to any unsuspecting souls her mother might currently have enraptured with false promises and borrowed charm. Her mother’s charade began by cobbling together social media personas with Noina’s photos and videos, a ruse initially…

In a complex blend of diplomacy and tension echoing historical nuances, the Thai-Cambodian border checkpoint at Chong Sai Taku, nestled in the rustic tapestry of Buriram’s Ban Kruat district, finds itself cloaked in silence as the military enforces a closure. This move follows a spirited protest by Cambodian visitors at the unassuming yet geopolitically sensitive Ta Kwai temple, leisurely resting in the heartbeats of Surin’s Phanom Dong Rak district. It’s the kind of hiccup that stirs the pot of long-standing discussions about sovereignty between these two culturally rich neighbors. On June 21, a party of 30 Cambodian visitors voiced their discontent at Ta Kwai temple, lighting the spark for the subsequent shutdown of the Chong Sai Taku checkpoint. This peaceful act of civil unrest didn’t sit quietly on the political landscape. The ripples reached all the way to Phnom Penh, prompting Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet to order a retaliatory…

If you’re in Bangkok and notice a towering pair of strikingly familiar dolls, it’s not your imagination playing tricks. Young-hee, fondly referred to in Thailand as the “Gogowa doll,” has made her prominent return to the city, accompanied by her mysterious male counterpart, Cheol-su. All this fanfare is to drum up excitement for the eagerly awaited release of Squid Game Season 3, set to hit Netflix on June 27. This Korean series, a suspense-filled survival thriller, has captivated Thai audiences since its debut in 2021. What started as a relatively straightforward premise of contestants playing traditional children’s games for a handsome monetary reward takes a dark turn as each loss is a permanent, fatal one.

A landowner, carrying a shotgun, accompanied their shouts with the reverberating booms of fired rounds, echoing both in the air and the earth, in a bid to ward off the approaching giants.

In the vibrant political theater that is Thailand, June 23 delivered another riveting act. Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai announced with steely resolve that the grand finale of the Paetongtarn Cabinet’s line-up will be unveiled this week. However, as political whispers crop up, Phumtham has artfully eluded any speculation of his impending ascension to the head of the Interior Ministry. The charismatic Phumtham gave nothing away as he described the previous day’s meeting between Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and coalition leaders about the tantalizing eight Cabinet positions left unattended following the dramatic departure of the Bhumjaithai Party. With high stakes, this powerful arena has the Interior Ministry seat, once Bhumjaithai’s prized possession, potentially gliding back into Pheu Thai’s hands with the grace of a well-executed political ballet. In a clever twist of developments, the remaining eight seats have been divvied up, with the coalition partners eagerly anticipating their share. Pheu…
