Meat Restaurant Staff Struggle With Months of Unpaid Wages

Staff at a popular meat restaurant haven't been paid in months, receiving only 6% of owed wages as the company claims financial hardship, leaving workers struggling to pay rent and bills.

Meat Restaurant Staff Struggle With Months of Unpaid Wages
4h ago Khaosod

Employees at a renowned meat restaurant are facing severe hardship after the company, citing financial difficulties, failed to pay salaries for several months and subsequently paid only 6% of what was owed. The situation became public when a Facebook page brought attention to multiple workers' pleas for fair treatment, claiming the company lacks sufficient cash flow and has delayed their wages. After employees pressed the company for payment, the firm recently dispersed only 6% of May's salary, while June's payment remains without a scheduled date. Many workers are struggling to cover vehicle installments, rent, and daily expenses. Some staff members said they had already filed complaints with authorities but saw no progress. A Facebook commenter later sarcastically noted specific cases, including one kitchen staff member earning 12,000 baht who received only 720 baht (6% of June salary), and another earning 15,000 baht who received just 900 baht.

All six workers were detained and transferred to Samsen Police Station for prosecution under the charge of "foreign national working without a work permit," which violates Sections 8 and 101 of the Foreign Workers Management Act B.E. 2560 and its amendments (No. 2) B.E. 2561.

Thailand's First Hospital Water Security System Launched

Thailand launched its first hospital water security system at Bang Pla Ma Hospital in Suphan Buri, using solar-powered groundwater wells to ensure continuous clean water supply for medical facilities during emergencies and droughts.

Thailand's First Hospital Water Security System Launched
5h ago Khaosod

The Department of Groundwater Resources has launched Thailand's first pilot "hospital water" project at Bang Pla Ma Hospital in Suphan Buri province, recognizing that hospitals require continuous access to clean water to save lives. The project aims to enhance water security for medical facilities while ensuring public services continue during all emergencies, including droughts, water supply disruptions, and natural disasters.

This initiative represents a major step in integrating water resource management with Thailand's public health system. Bang Pla Ma Hospital is one of two pilot hospitals nationwide, alongside Mae Thaeng Hospital in Chiang Mai, serving as a model for expansion to other hospitals across the country.

Tanongsakdi Lochusuk, director of the Groundwater Resources Regional Office 2 (Suphan Buri), emphasized that the department prioritizes water security for hospitals as essential infrastructure for public health. When hospitals have stable water sources, they can efficiently respond to emergencies and disasters. The hospital water project goes beyond infrastructure construction—it builds resilience into the national health system.

Rabphra Phromma, planning director of the Groundwater Resources Regional Office 2, explained that the system produces clean water continuously through four groundwater wells with 3-horsepower pumps powered by solar panels, feeding into a 100-cubic-meter storage tank 23 meters high. It supplies the hospital's daily requirement of 50-100 cubic meters. The system includes an iron filtration unit and a drinking water plant producing 2,000 liters per hour, enabling complete cycle production of clean groundwater for consumption and medical use while reducing energy costs through solar power—aligning with sustainable development and emissions reduction goals.

Dr. Surasak Luang-siritanya, deputy director of Bang Pla Ma Hospital, noted the 60-bed community hospital has operated since 1982, traditionally relying on groundwater. The aging system developed quality issues including scale and rust buildup. The modernization project supports efficient and comprehensive healthcare services. The hospital currently serves 500-800 outpatients daily, approximately 60 inpatients, and over 300 staff members. Plans for a new dialysis unit requiring high volumes of RO (Reverse Osmosis) water make this project critical for ensuring adequate clean water supply long-term.

"Clean water is the heart of a hospital, essential to every step of treatment—from patient meals to sterilizing medical instruments and dialysis," he stated. "Without quality water, medical care cannot function."

Girl Student Falls Into Temple Pond In Nakhon Ratchasima

A Grade 10 student fell into a temple pond in Nakhon Ratchasima while talking on her phone and likely slipped on wet grass; she was rescued by residents and hospitalized but is no longer in critical condition.

Girl Student Falls Into Temple Pond In Nakhon Ratchasima
5h ago Khaosod

On the evening of July 9, rescue personnel from Sawang Metthatham Foundation received a report of a girl student who had fallen into a pond inside a temple in Muang District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Responders found the student unconscious and soaking wet at the pond's edge with weak vital signs. They immediately performed CPR and rushed her to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital.

The victim was identified as a Grade 10 student from a local school. The exact cause of how she fell into the pond remains unclear. Initial investigation suggests that while the student was standing and talking on the phone near the pond's edge, she may have slipped on wet grass and fallen into the water. Given that she was either unable to swim or a weak swimmer, she could not help herself out of the pond.

A witness named Nattapong (surname withheld) reported seeing the girl standing alone talking on her phone near the pond for some time before suddenly spotting her in the water calling for help. He and other residents quickly pulled her out, finding her already weakened. He said he initially thought she was just playing in the water but immediately responded when he heard her cries for help.

Kittinant, 52, another resident who assisted, heard neighbors shouting for help and saw the girl floating and appearing to be drowning in the middle of the pond. He and other villagers rushed to pull her to safety and contacted rescue personnel to transport her to the hospital urgently.

The school principal stated that he monitored the student's condition at the hospital since that evening. Doctors have moved her out of the emergency room as she is no longer in critical condition. Initial conversations with her parents and class teacher revealed no apparent family problems, academic stress, or peer relationship issues. The student reportedly has normal behavior, good conduct, a warm family with caring parents, and no family conflict.

The true cause of the incident remains unknown at this time. The school will wait for the student's condition to improve before discussing the incident and providing appropriate psychological care. Police are continuing to investigate the facts and circumstances of the case, while medical staff closely monitor the student's physical and mental recovery.

Delivery Rider Slammed For Attacking Buddhist Monk

A delivery rider faced backlash after publicly criticizing a Chiang Mai temple monk who requested food consecration before accepting a meal, a practice required by Buddhist monastic discipline that the rider dismissed as unreasonable.

Delivery Rider Slammed For Attacking Buddhist Monk
5h ago Khaosod

An online controversy erupted when a delivery rider posted harsh criticism in a Mae Rim district Facebook group, using crude language to attack a prominent temple and its monks in Chiang Mai. After arriving to deliver food to the temple, the monk requested that the delivery rider perform food consecration (prakan) before handing over the meal, following strict Buddhist monastic discipline. Dissatisfied, the rider posted an attack questioning why he should perform the ritual, sarcastically claiming he was a delivery driver, not making merit, and criticizing the monk for not practicing almsgiving, eating at dawn, and living in a luxurious dwelling like a resort.

After the post circulated, many uninformed people commented attacking the monk and temple, damaging the temple's reputation. However, many others expressed concern that the claims were distorted and defamatory to both the monk and the temple. Upon investigation of Buddhist discipline, authorities confirmed that requesting food consecration before acceptance is strict adherence to monastic rules, as monks cannot receive or touch unconsecrated food. The request is not unreasonable but a practice of maintaining monastic discipline.

Buddhist discipline permits monks to eat until just before noon, so eating at dawn is within monastic rules, even if forest temple monks typically eat only once daily. Regarding the observation that the monk ordered food through an app, this could stem from various reasons, such as invited duties or temple obligations preventing normal almsgiving, or family members ordering through the app to offer to the monk, which doesn't necessarily mean the monk ordered it himself.

After the controversy, the temple offered for the rider to visit for discussion and reconciliation, but the rider never appeared and later deleted the original post. This incident highlights the importance of fact-checking before sharing information on social media, as inaccurate communication can damage individuals' and religious institutions' reputations, even after the truth emerges.

Recently, the Mae Rim Cultural Council issued a statement defending the temple on July 9, 2569, urging an end to distorted posts and crude language, fearing damage to both the monk and temple.

Customs officials at Phuket International Airport, led by Nucha Jiradisit, airport customs director, alongside control division director Thanomjit Bureeruk and investigation chief Charoenpon Jaengwansuek, coordinated with Saku police under the command of Colonel Silan Sankisatnakul and Deputy Commander Rattanawutti Nuhkaew to arrest two suspects attempting to smuggle cannabis flowers out of Thailand without customs procedures at the international departure hall on July 10, 2026.

The first suspect, 18-year-old Filipino national Levannah Chelsea Guzman, was found with 14 vacuum-sealed packages of cannabis flower weighing 14.5 kilograms hidden inside a black Pierre Cardin rolling suitcase. She admitted ownership of the luggage and its contents. Authorities charged her under the Customs Act B.E. 2560, the Narcotics Suppression Act, the Thai Traditional Medicine Promotion and Protection Act B.E. 2542, and a 2568 Public Health Ministry announcement classifying cannabis as a controlled herb.

The second suspect, Thai national Penypicha Putthasoeng, had her green Swish Navy rolling luggage searched and found to contain 16 vacuum-sealed packages of cannabis flower weighing 17.6 kilograms. She also confessed to ownership and received identical charges. Both suspects and their seized materials were transferred to Saku police for further legal proceedings.

This arrest is part of intensified efforts to prevent cannabis smuggling through airports, with authorities conducting continuous rigorous inspections of passenger baggage to prevent illegal activity and strictly enforce the law.

Government Approves Energy Transition Projects With 400 Billion Baht Loan

The government has approved a 400 billion baht energy transition loan, with agencies now required to submit projects offering direct public benefits like EV purchase subsidies and solar installation support.

Government Approves Energy Transition Projects With 400 Billion Baht Loan
5h ago Khaosod

Deputy Prime Minister Phadej Parisyananda clarified on July 10 that following the Constitutional Court's approval of the royal decree authorizing the Finance Ministry to borrow 400 billion baht for addressing energy crisis impacts and advancing the nation's energy transition, government agencies must now submit long-term energy transition projects. Initial projects must directly benefit the public through measures like interest subsidies or down payment assistance. The Transport Ministry has proposed down payment support for taxi, van, and public transport drivers switching to electric vehicles, while other agencies will offer similar assistance for rooftop solar installations. Phadej explained that each agency will submit projects for review by a screening committee comprising the Finance Ministry Permanent Secretary, the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council, and the Comptroller General's Department. When asked about potential overlap with projects in the 2570 fiscal year budget currently under parliamentary review, Phadej assured there would be no duplication by cross-referencing existing budget allocations. He noted that of the 400 billion baht loan, 170 billion baht has been spent on economic recovery, and the government need not use the full amount by the end of 2570. Further stimulus or economic relief measures depend on the Finance Ministry's reassessment of economic conditions.

Lawmaker Pushes Special Committee to Overhaul Civil Service

A Thai lawmaker proposed a special parliamentary committee to restructure the civil service amid concerns that 1.435 trillion baht in annual personnel costs leaves almost no budget for development programs.

Lawmaker Pushes Special Committee to Overhaul Civil Service
5h ago Khaosod

On July 9, during a parliamentary session reviewing civil service development reports for 2567 and 2568, Pol. Col. Thawee Sodsong proposed forming a special parliamentary committee to examine restructuring, merging, decentralizing authority, and applying AI technology across state agencies. He noted that while the Public Sector Development Committee's mandate includes advising the cabinet on structure and budgets, its work should be more ambitious.

Thawee unveiled alarming budget figures, revealing that current personnel expenditure totals 1.435 trillion baht, encompassing 3 million active civil servants and 2.4 million retirees. Combined with multi-year budget commitments expected in 2570, this could reach 1.7 trillion baht—leaving almost nothing for development after tax revenues are absorbed by payroll.

He also criticized "integrated budgeting," a system used for over a decade that exemplifies flawed centralized governance. Programs targeting inequality and household debt have worsened because they ignore community-centered approaches. Thawee further warned that budget allocation increasingly favors bureaucrats and capital groups, with only 3-4 major firms controlling multi-year contracts worth roughly 400 billion baht each.

Thawee stressed that civil servant integrity is paramount, expressing alarm at corruption cases in local administration and alleged vote-buying in provincial elections. He vowed to use these issues as grounds for establishing the special committee.
