After a client complained on social media, the Phuket International Airport responded to claims that its Subway keep had overcharged.

On Wednesday, a TikTok user named Naynaysully shared a&nbsp, video expressing anger over a £72 cost for three sandwiches, creating:” What in the deceiving hell is going on below? Avoid Phuket airports”.

The client, who had refused to pay, was confronted by Subway employees in the International Terminal’s departure lounge. The picture was called in by airport security and officers.

Over 4 million people viewed the blog in just two days, which gave the audience a combined response.

Some people criticized the charges as being too high, while others urged the consumer to present a ticket, to which she replied that she had not received one.

Other commenters made the point that rates are usually higher at airports and were clearly displayed at the shop.

In reaction, the carrier’s Facebook page issued a statement on Thursday clarifying the company’s prices.

The Subway shop obviously displays its prices and adheres to its agreement agreement, according to airport management.

” The particular case in question involved a customer’s order that included more customisations such as more meat and cheese, as well as cookies and drink, which increased the overall price beyond that of regular menu services”, it explained.

Some people speculated that there may have been a confusion between the team and the client because her claims did not match what was displayed in a photograph shared by the airport that showed the customer’s order totalling 3,152 baht.

The buyer claimed in another movie that was posted on TikTok that she ended up paying 1,500 bass and received a portion of her purchase before taking off for her flight.

The state’s attorneys ‘ decision to drop fraud charges against two celebrities allegedly linked to the iCon Group pyramid scheme will be reviewed by the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI).

Pol Maj Yutthana Praedam, director-general of the DSI, on Thursday commented on the lawyer’s decision to drop charges against players Yuranunt” Sam” Pamornmontri and Peechaya” Min” Wattanamontree.

He said it is too early to say whether the DSI will actually disagree with the prosecution ‘ choice because the procedure calls for a thorough examination.

A DSI board will examine the prosecution ‘ decision, which will launch 30 times after the division receives all of the paperwork, which is expected in 3–5 days, he said.

He continued, adding that this approach ensures checks and balances in the justice program.

The event will be referred to the solicitor general for a final decision, according to Pol Maj Yutthana, if the DSI disagrees with the prosecution ‘ activities.

The DSI don’t obtain additional evidence during the evaluation process because the investigation phase is deemed finish.

On Wednesday, prosecutors decided to prosecute 17 suspects, including The image Group founder and CEO Warathaphon” Boss Paul” Waratyaworrakul and another executives, for common scams, false borrowing, improperly running a direct sales business and other relevant offences.

In light of the lack of supporting evidence to support their alleged role with the other suspects, the prosecution decided not to command Yuranunt and Peechaya.

When questioned about whether the plaintiffs ‘ attorneys would use the celebrity case in their defense, Pol Maj Yutthana responded that it was their constitutional right to make such claims.

The justice approach allows plaintiffs to issue complaints, he says.

He claimed that the Office of the Consumer Protection Board’s choice to withdraw The image Group’s direct-selling firm license has no bearing on the legal situation. The revocation will aid allegations of unlawful direct-selling, but it won’t change the evidence that has already been gathered for prosecution.

According to Pol Maj Yutthana, the DSI is also looking into allegations of money laundering against those managers and a second class of suspects who are still facing charges.

However, Supranee Satitchaicharoen, representative of the Anti-Money Laundering Office, said the new seizure of property of all suspects, including the celebrities, was due to a separate legal case.

The two celebrities must provide evidence to the court that their assets are independent of the iCon Group business, she said.

Public forum to hear views on MoU

OCA however a thorn in relations with Cambodia

Maris: Committee yet to be formed
Maris: Committee yet to be formed

A public forum will be held in the late evening of this month to get feedback on the Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU) on maritime claims in the Gulf of Thailand, which, according to the government, is at the heart of a long-running maritime territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia.

Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa made the revelation during an interpellation by Piyarat Chongthep, a People’s Party ( PP ) MP for Bangkok, in a House session on Thursday.

According to Mr. Maris, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will coordinate the platform with a number of House standing committees.

Previous opposition leader Sondhi Limthongkul, who led a motion for the ensuing MoU, has been calling on the government to hold a public forum, despite the fact that Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra had previously rejected the idea.

She merely promised that the government would consider all viewpoints before making any subsequent decisions regarding the MoU.

According to Mr. Maris, the government has not yet done everything in relation to this arrangement, which requires that Thailand and Cambodia engage in discussions regarding the likelihood of them using natural resources in the Gulf of Thailand’s overlapping claims place.

The commission has yet to be formed, he said.

Mr Sondhi said the MoU had created an overlapping claims area ( OCA ) covering 26, 000 square kilometres, mainly benefiting Cambodia. It is thought that the OCA has a lot of fossil fuel sources.

The MoU, which was signed with Cambodia during the Thaksin Shinawatra leadership, authorized Cambodia to establish, based on international laws, in 1973, that its territorial waters belonged to Indian maritime authorities as defined by King Rama IX. Critics worry that there will be a reduction of autonomy.

A group of protesters led by Mr. Sondhi threatened to increase their rallies at a meeting outside Government House late last month if the government continued to ignore their request to have the MoU removed.

Mr. Piyarat was questioned during the House meeting whether the government was still holding its breath when it outlined its intention to deal with Cambodia about the advantages of developing simultaneously natural resources in the region.

He questioned how, if Thailand were to pursue this strategy, the government would maintain its sovereignty over the overlapping claims place.

According to federal official Jirayu Houngsub, more than 230, 000 travelers, both Thais and immigrants, visited Phuket between Dec 28, 2024 and Jan 1, generating at least 8 billion ringgit in profits.

This resulted in a hotel occupancy rate of over 80 %.

Activist challenges Orange Line environmental report

The commuter rail project on the Orange Line western extension was approved despite not meeting the environmental impact assessment ( EIA ) standard, according to activist Srisuwan Janya, who is asking for a court order to suspend the construction.

Mr. Srisuwan filed a complaint with the Central Administrative Court in Bangkok on Thursday in his power as the leader of the Stop Global Warming Association, which he founded 20 years ago.

Since being detained in January of last year on suspicion of trying to extort money from a civil servant in trade for dropping a problem argument, Mr. Srisuwan has maintained a low profile. Prosecutors are still deciding whether to prosecute him, but he denies the charge.

His most recent complaint names the government of Thailand’s Mass Rapid Transit Authority, the governor of Bangkok, and the council of experts who are responsible for the National Environment Board’s review of the EIA statement.

Given that they were instrumental in approving the development of the mass-transit line improvement from Taling Chan to the Thailand Cultural Centre, they are accused of dereliction of duty.

The review council gave its approval for the EIA statement on April 2, 2021, and it was approved by the atmosphere board on December 17 that same year, according to Mr. Srisuwan.

Despite the fact that the plan to destroy three helicopters in Bangkok was not included, endorsement was given. In consequence, he claimed there was no mention of a strategy to stop and correct the demolition job ‘ climate effects as required by the National Environment Act.

When well, when ideas for one stop were scrapped along with a planned area stretching 3.1 miles, the project failed to submit a revised EIA statement, said Mr Srisuwan.

According to the approved EIA report, the 365 large trees along the expansion route were evidently dying out because they weren’t removed for fostering and replanting properly, he added.
