Thailand’s latest election is now being labeled as the most corrupt election in the country’s history. There is mounting evidence of vote buying across the country, ranging from 200 baht (about 6 USD) to 3,000 baht (about 85 USD), with some cases reportedly as high as 5,000 baht (about 140 USD). There is also nonstop evidence of malpractice by Thai election officials, such as inconsistent vote counts, discrepancies between on-site and online tallies, unequal numbers of ballots compared to the number of voters at some polling sites, and restrictions on public observation of the counting process. Millions of votes have reportedly been counted as invalid ballots, even though evidence in many cases suggests they were valid.
With a 7-billion-baht budget (about 200 million USD), many Thai people are outraged and are calling for a nationwide recount. This situation is being described by critics as a disaster and one of the most troubling elections in recent history. How will the winner be viewed if news pundits and many Thai citizens consider this election to have been corrupted by vote buying?
Thailand is in need of a comeback after a decade under coup-installed leadership that critics say has damaged the country, alongside networks of corrupt officials, pro-dictator politicians, elites, and oligarchs. Thailand now has one of the slowest economic growth rates in Southeast Asia. The country is weighed down by household debt and is increasingly affected by scams and money laundering. Recently, information has surfaced suggesting connections between well-known leaders of scam networks and high-level Thai officials and politicians. Photos, personal relationships, and alleged financial links have been leaked, with no credible explanations from those involved or from those who have been linked.
Many people are connecting the dots between vote buying and money from scam operations allegedly being used to support election activities. Will Thailand become a safe haven for scammers after this election? Will the country be able to rebuild a strong reputation for investors? Or will it instead attract more scammers and criminal networks if elections are seen as something that can be influenced by dirty money?

Long read, but I promise it will be worth to read til the very end... ❤️
One year ago today I met the man who will be the love of my life until the moment I die. The story of how we met sounds like a cliché: 9th of August 2024, the Olympic Games in Paris. We had both attended the same sports event at the Champ-de-Mars Arena, and stopped outside to look at the sparkling Eiffel Tower. He saw me and approached me. We spoke the entire rest of the evening. We met up again on the next day, and from that moment on never left each other's sides. I felt so at ease with him, l can't put it in words how wonderful it is when you are with someone who puts you at ease. We spent the last two days of the Paris Olympics together, and then, as if we had always been meant for each other, the rest of our lives so far. We went to the Moon Music album premiere in the cinema together and now the title track will forever be connected to this feeling of quiet, ease and happiness that he brought into my life after I was broken.
🎶 Once upon a time I tried to get myself together. Once upon a time when I was still trying to get better. Or, to quote another lyric: 🎶 Storms (and both of us have had them before) pass, love lasts. It all goes by so fast.
When he looks at me, I can see this love in his eyes. And I hope he can see the same when I look at him. He is a walking green flag. He is the first person in my life who truly accepts and loves me for what I am. Through him I understood what true, healthy love is, the one that heals you instead of breaking you.
If you read until here, you may have spotted a contradiction: I said "one year ago today", but that day is already over and we have the 10th of August right now. So, why? I've been trying to put my feelings into words the entire day, sure, but this evening my love surprised me while we were on a boat trip across the Bosporus. AT THE CORNER OF THE DECK WITH A VIEW OF ISTANBUL HE HANDED ME AN ENGAGEMENT RING. So here is the live update, friends: I guess I just got engaged!!!
