@ThaiPBSWorld Unbelievable! This guy could gamble anywhere in Thailand and he picks the legislative compound to do it? What an arrogant idiot.

In 24 years, there have only been 77 identified cases of noncitizens voting out of hundreds of millions of votes cast. The SAVE Act isn't about election security It's about keeping Americans from voting. @SenSanders

Kelley Currie appointed new UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar. This is fantastic news. Kelley has been a stalwart supporter of freedom in Myanmar for decades. This is no usual UN appointment. Super special, super good 💪❤️ ohchr.org/sites/default/…

Message to the EU from Thailand: "...in its rush to diversify trading partners amid growing global uncertainty, the EU should not sacrifice the potential of trade negotiations to improve rights and address abusive practices. Regarding #Thailand, the focus should be squarely on the labor rights of migrant workers." Exactly right, great analysis by @hrw's @ClaFrancavilla! Must read op-ed about what needs to happen in the EU-Thai FTA negotiations when it comes to protecting labor rights & migrant worker rights! #WhatsHappeninginThailand #EUThaiFTA hrw.org/news/2026/03/1…

Exactly right. It's time for the international community to piss or get off the pot. They should be saying that we will back the NUG and the democratic forces. That's what the Burmese people want! #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

Waiting to see how soon we start hearing the phrase "we have to wait and see" from governments as an excuse for not taking action to cut off money and arms to the Burmese military. No Burmese military led process will ever lead to genuine reform.

Editorial cartoonist Stephff nails it again, with PM Anutin as a knock-off from One Piece, with the Isan farmer hat and buffalo skull. Classic! And true, just look at the lines forming at petrol stations all over #Thailand.

Samut Prakan Phil 🇬🇧 🇹🇭
Another topic that divides Thai Twitter down the middle - visa agents. For me, they can provide a good service but they're a last resort - to be considered if I am physically unable to go to immigration (and even then I'd probably send a family member) I just hate letting my passport out of my sight. I've always been this way. MT @FPetet My friend has used an agent several times to extend his retirement visa without problems. In December he used the same agent again, but still hasn't received his passport back. He is close to 90 days overstay if they haven't already done the extension. He calls every day, but is met with excuses. "Staff gone home". " hasn't arrived yet.", but no promise on when it will arrive. He is now at his wits end because he is powerless to do anything.

Such a nonsense take, even by this columnist’s standards! Where was this take when @PheuThaiParty desperately fielded Chaikasem against Anutin last year? Or when @Thanathorn_FWP went up against @prayutofficial in 2019? Unlike their Speaker’s bid last Sunday, it’s perfectly @PPLEThai legitimate for them to field @teng_pple despite the forgone conclusion.
