From Thai PBS World In its effort to promote gender diversity, Thailand will not stop at legalising same-sex marriage, which it will later become effective this year, according to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin today. “Thailand will continue to support gender diversity after successfully passing the marriage equality bill. We are looking forward to pushing for gender recognition and sex worker laws,” he said. He was speaking at the start of Pride parades at the National Stadium. With him were Pheu Thai party leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra and other senior party members. Srettha also mentioned equality regarding gender honorifics, allowing LGBTQ+ people to choose their titles on official documents. Srettha did not, however, provide details about sex worker legislation. Visitors from around the world are celebrating Pride Month in Thailand this June. Events are scheduled to take place in several Thai destinations, as Thailand works to become a top “LGBTQ+ Friendly Destination.” Bangkok Pride, starting today, will continue for a month and will include many LGBTQ+-related fora at various venues in Bangkok and other provinces. Aiming for gender equality and the creation of an environment that nurtures diversity, Thailand is committed to empowering all citizens, regardless of age, gender, religion, nationality, or social status, and welcomes tourists from around the world, according to the government, according to government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke. Chiang Mai is also celebrating Pride Month with parades, concerts and art exhibitions. On Koh Samui, in Surat Thani, the “Pride Nation Samui International Festival”, on the theme of “Let’s Join PRIDEradise”, will take place between June 24and 29. A pride parade and music festival will take place on June 29on Chaweng Beach.

Frim The Thaiger In an unprecedented global crackdown, a leading cybercrime organisation, described as the world’s most sophisticated hacking group, has been successfully dismantled. This victory comes as a result of a tireless combined operation between Thai and US security services. The operation orchestrated by the FBI and Thailand’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), resulted in the arrest of three top-ranking members of the international cybercrime syndicate. The fallout of the arrests, unlike any seen before, is set to have a significant impact on global cybercrime activities. The syndicate had been operating extensive illegal activities involving unauthorised system access, theft of confidential information, and cryptocurrency fraud across borders, wreaking havoc on the global digital economy. The arrested individuals are now facing serious charges under the Computer Crimes Act, which could equate to a decade-long sentence for each charge. Officers searched a target house in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province, and three condominium rooms in Na Jomtien. They found 7.5 million baht in cash, both Thai and foreign currencies, 13 luxury watches including 3 AUDEMARS PIGUET watches worth over 30 million baht, 23 pieces of jewelry worth over 50 million baht.

The lure of gaining admittance to Bi-Polar, the club that occupied the space that once housed my beloved Nakarat, reached must be an all-time high Friday night when 100+ queued up behind the velvet rope that stretched to the Croom hotel entrance and overflowed beyond. It’s become a destination on Soi 4.

Where can I get Manny's info?

What does GOP mean?

The trick I do if I have to stay more than a couple of nights in LM is to concentrate on 1 region/atelier per day. That way it would be different breakfast experience everyday. AFAIK, they’re the only breakfast buffet that have bubblies.

Except this of course.

Thanks! I fear I am nothing to write home about either. Presentable, but stocky, as they say, and approaching 70!

They were refurbishing the Lounge when I was last there. It will be interesting see what they have done. Staff there are great, remember what drink you like etc.

My experience has been, as recent as my visit in March 2024, that it's more of a porno-scenario than anything else. A couple of the Metro lines are not fully operational at this time, including the main line, Linea 1.

Count me in

I was making fun of the article, not the trans people. That should have been obvious from the text of my post. I found the use of that term silly and insulting. You're kind of slow on the uptake. And you posted nothing to discredit my investigation that such terms, as used by the article, are offensive. You simply misdirect, which is not a way to discredit a posting. And you certainly don't appear to feel foolish about being proven factually wrong.

I just turned 36 so cannot considered young, though many say I look younger. Maybe because I'm asian. Hahaha And in good shape? Nope. I've been a chub as far as I remember. Well, ROUND is a shape. 🤣🤣🤣

OMG, you stole someone else’s passport! However, you had no problem poking fun at ladyboys above, depicting them as ladybugs and pieces of fruit.

No, you're factually wrong. I have been there. 😄 I'm no expert as to trans lingo there, which is why I looked it up, as you saw in my prior posting. Written by a Thai person, as I previously quoted, "The term of ladyboy is a foreigner thing, Thais don't use that term. Equivalent is kathoey, and almost all trans woman find it derogatory and hate to be called kathoey...".

Guys, I'm planning a trip to Mexico City and I've got a fair idea of what to check out thanks to this forum 🙂 One question that I have though is the metro crusing. There are videos on the web of guys fucking on the metro - is this a thing or just porno-scenario?

I was right then. You’ve never been here. 😅

Believe it or not, there are some days when I actually think they wouldn’t be doing it if they weren’t getting paid.

You're right. I haven't been there since Thais switched to speaking English instead of Thai. 😉

Imagine how they feel with what they see 😱

I fully agree with reader: Phetboy is worth to visit

90000 in 270 companies means 333 persons per company. Can you imagine how much taxes should be paid by 270 companies with 90000 staff "since 2012"? And what did Thai Tax Burau all these 12 years? Flee market journalism is more simple explanation of "90000 visits".

Phetboy Line is @kob2024. It is on the window of their shop

From The Nation Jaturon Phakdeewanit, director general of the Department of Tourism, said a world-class film crew from Hollywood is preparing to shoot the movie "Jurassic World 4" in Thailand. The filming locations will include Krabi and Trang provinces, with a shooting period of about one month, from June 13 to July 16, 2024. Furthermore, the latest report from the Thailand Film Office said the production team of "Jurassic World 4" is also interested in filming in areas of Bangkok, Phang Nga, Phuket, and Chiang Mai. It is expected that this project will generate revenue of 650 million baht for Thailand. These funds will be distributed to various sectors in the country, including payment for Thai crew members, equipment rental, accommodation, venue rental, transportation costs, Covid-19 prevention measures, and catering expenses, among others.
