Foreign riders in Pattaya report being regularly stopped and fined while Thai riders are allegedly ignored by police. PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya police are stepping up traffic enforcement efforts, particularly targeting motorbike riders across the city. Officially framed as a safety campaign, the crackdown has increasingly raised eyebrows among foreign residents and tourists, who say they are being disproportionately stopped and fined — while Thai riders often pass by unchallenged. “I see every day police stop only farangs. Police say Thais have no money,” said one long-term visitor. The claim, echoed by others, suggests a double standard in enforcement, where foreigners are seen as more viable sources of revenue due to their perceived ability to pay. During March, one visitor recalled, “I noticed many times motorcycles being pulled over by police or stopped by police, and they were always foreigners. I was there in March, and I happened to notice it all the time.” The sentiment is echoed across online forums and local expat communities, where frustrations are growing. While some say they’ve never personally had issues — “I’ve never seen that in my 21 years here. But I use helmet and have my papers in order and always been told ok and get on my way,” said a longtime expat — others feel the pattern is hard to ignore. Long-term visitors claim traffic crackdowns focus on foreigners — “Police say Thai have no money,” one observed. Despite the growing discontent, authorities maintain that the enforcement is part of an ongoing effort to reduce accidents and ensure rider safety. However, critics argue that if safety were truly the priority, enforcement would be more evenly applied to all riders — regardless of nationality. Adding to the frustration is the steep cost of fines. The penalty for not wearing a helmet can be as high as 2,000 baht — a significant sum for local standards. Yet some Thai riders, particularly school-aged youth, are reportedly let off with nothing more than a wai and a smile, while foreigners receive full penalties on the spot. “As usual in Pattaya,” another commenter said dryly, “it’s just business as usual.” The broader question remains: Is Pattaya’s motorbike crackdown really about public safety, or is it becoming just another revenue tool targeting easy prey? For now, foreign riders are advised to keep their documents in order — and their expectations in check. Expats in Pattaya say they’re singled out for motorbike checks, raising concerns about fairness in enforcement.

Farmers near the Thai-Cambodian border granted limited access under heightened security. SA KAEO, Thailand – Panic gripped Thai nationals on Saturday as large numbers rushed to return from Cambodia following persistent rumors that Cambodian authorities may temporarily shut down border checkpoints due to escalating tensions in the region. At the Khlong Luek permanent border crossing in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaeo province, the scene was one of urgency and confusion as Thai citizens—many of whom had been working, visiting casinos, or vacationing in Cambodia—hurried back to Thailand. Some were even seen bringing their pets, including dogs and cats, across the border. The surge began early in the morning, with long queues forming at immigration counters. Several returning travelers admitted they were alarmed by the situation across the border, citing abnormal military activity and rising uncertainty. “I heard the border might close today, so I packed everything and came back,” said one woman carrying her small dog. “If I stayed, I might not be able to return for a while. I don’t know how bad things might get.” While no official closure has been announced by Cambodian authorities, rumors of political instability and military movements have led many to fear the worst. Some Thais who had been living in Cambodia for an extended period were seen carrying heavy luggage, indicating a more permanent return. Immigration and security personnel at the Sa Kaeo border have been deployed in full force to manage the influx, helping with document checks and maintaining order. Thai security agencies are closely monitoring the situation and have prepared contingency plans in case of sudden changes. Military and immigration officials tighten controls at Sa Kaeo border crossings. Taphaya Border: Natural Crossings Shut Down, Security Tightened Meanwhile, authorities have closed all natural crossing points along the Thai-Cambodian border near Taphaya district, Sa Kaeo, as a precaution. However, the temporary border pass at Ban Bueng Takuan remains open under tight surveillance. Cambodian citizens were still seen entering Thailand for shopping, though in smaller numbers. Along the Sre Pen Road—just two kilometers from the border—warning signs mark hazardous areas still containing unexploded ordnance. Authorities have fenced off dangerous zones and allow passage only at designated points. On the Thai side, local farmers are still permitted to access their fields along the border, but only during restricted hours between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. As the situation continues to unfold, both Thai and Cambodian officials are under pressure to ensure safety while preventing panic. For now, the border remains open—but the atmosphere is anything but calm. Long queues form as worried travelers return from Cambodia with belongings and pets in tow. Thai nationals rush back across the Aranyaprathet border amid fears of a Cambodian shutdown. Concerned Thai citizens haul pets and belongings home as border closure rumors spread.

Gold jewelry sales plunge over 50% in Thailand – ‘Unprecedented Drop,’ says Gold Traders Association President. Small gold shops—relying mainly on handcrafted jewelry sales—are being hit the hardest. Their income primarily comes from jewelry-making labor fees, which are falling along with reduced demand for new jewelry. Moreover, the persistently high price of gold is prompting consumers to sell their gold for profit instead of buying new pieces. This adds pressure to shop revenues that depend on labor fees. If gold prices remain volatile, consumers may delay purchases and opt for investments in gold bars or derivatives, leading to continued sales declines for traditional gold shops. Another source of pressure is the drop in revenue from gold pawning services, due to reduced interest rates offered by government and private pawnshops. These institutions now offer more attractive rates than gold shops, diverting customers away from traditional pawn services at gold stores. Additionally, tighter regulations—such as anti-money laundering (AML) laws and gold transaction reporting requirements—are increasing compliance costs, especially for smaller businesses with limited resources. Despite these challenges, the Gold Traders Association raised the standard labor fee from 500 to 800 baht per baht-weight as of March 1, 2025. Although this offers some revenue support, the rising volatility in gold prices continues to discourage jewelry purchases. Thailand’s small gold shops are closing as consumers stop buying. Soaring prices and weak spending hit hard. Beyond the pricing issues and weak purchasing power, the crisis is severely impacting goldsmiths. Mr. Boonlert Siriphattharawanit, Senior Advisor to the Thai Goldsmiths Association, noted that goldsmiths are seeing significantly reduced workloads. Currently, there are an estimated 50,000–60,000 goldsmiths in Thailand, both shop-based and freelance. With jewelry sales down by more than 50%, 20,000–30,000 of them are now effectively unemployed. Still, he believes goldsmiths could pivot to related fields such as jewelry and accessory design. However, he admits that once they leave the trade, returning could be difficult. “Becoming a skilled goldsmith takes years—some people train for over a decade. Shop owners are trying to retain their skilled craftsmen, fearing a future shortage when demand returns,” Mr. Boonlert said. According to the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand, goldsmith wages vary from below 100 baht to over 300 baht per piece, depending on the complexity, weight, and design of the jewelry. The golden trade turns grim as artisans face mass unemployment amid Thailand’s worst gold jewelry slump.

Thai troops enforce new border hours at Khlong Luek crossing in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaeo. SA KAEO, Thailand – The Royal Thai Armed Forces’ Burapha Task Force (Eastern Border Command) has issued an urgent directive to tighten border control measures at five permanent and temporary checkpoints along the Thai-Cambodian border in Sa Kaeo province. The new rules aim to safeguard national sovereignty and public security following repeated Cambodian incursions and provocative actions near the border. Under the new measures, the operating hours at the following checkpoints have been reduced, and stricter entry-exit policies enforced: Ban Khlong Luek Permanent Checkpoint (Aranyaprathet District) New hours: 08:00–16:00 (previously 06:00–22:00) Thai nationals are prohibited from crossing for gambling or tourism. Cambodian traders may still cross using a valid passport or Border Pass, but the allowable stay is reduced from 14 days to 7 days. Humanitarian medical cases must receive approval from the Thai-Cambodian Border Coordination Office (Army Region 1). Thai workers and vendors in Cambodia can cross with approval. Truck traffic restriction: Trucks with more than 5 wheels are banned from this checkpoint and must use the Thailand-Cambodia Friendship Bridge. Border trade and travel restricted under new military order amid Cambodia tensions. Thai-Cambodian Friendship Bridge Checkpoint (Nong Ian – Stung Bot) New hours: 08:00–06:00 (overnight operations) This checkpoint is now the only entry/exit point for large freight trucks (5 wheels or more). Ban Khao Din Permanent Checkpoint (Khlong Hat District) New hours: 08:00–16:00 (previously 06:00–18:00) Same restrictions apply as at Ban Khlong Luek: Thai gamblers/tourists banned, Cambodian traders allowed with 7-day stay limit. Large trucks must use the Friendship Bridge. Ban Ta Phraya Temporary Trade Checkpoint (Ta Phraya District) New hours: 08:00–12:00 Entry/exit based on screening and discretion of military officials. Large freight trucks banned. Checkpoint hours cut and Thai gamblers barred from crossing into Cambodia. Ban Nong Prue Temporary Trade Checkpoint (Aranyaprathet District) New hours: 08:00–12:00 Movement also subject to military discretion. Large freight trucks not allowed. The new regulations take effect immediately from June 7, 2025, and will remain in place until further notice. Authorities emphasized that these actions are necessary to protect Thailand’s territorial integrity and the lives and property of its citizens, while balancing the economic needs of local communities engaged in cross-border trade. Military tightens control along Sa Kaeo border as security concerns mount.

Ban Laem and Ban Phak Kad checkpoints closed to tourists, with only Cambodian workers and trade traffic allowed through. CHANTHABURI, Thailand – The Chanthaburi Marine Task Force has issued an urgent order to temporarily suspend the movement of Thai and Cambodian tourists through the permanent Ban Laem and Ban Phak Kad border crossings. The restriction does not apply to Cambodian laborers entering Thailand for work purposes. Captain Nopparoj Siripariyaphong, Commander of the Chanthaburi Marine Task Force, signed the official letter addressed to the Chanthaburi Immigration Police Chief. The directive cites the imposition of martial law in specific areas of Chanthaburi province, including Khlung, Pong Nam Ron, and Soi Dao districts, under Section 5 of the Martial Law Act B.E. 2547 (2004). This provision grants military officials authority over civilian counterparts in matters related to security operations, suppression efforts, and the maintenance of public order. The measure comes in response to escalating threats from Cambodia, which pose potential risks to the safety of both Thai and Cambodian citizens. Under Section 5 of the Martial Law Act, all civil servants across ministries, departments, and agencies are instructed to continue performing their duties as usual but must comply with the orders of military authorities. Effective from June 7, 2025, the Chanthaburi Immigration Checkpoint is instructed to suspend all tourist traffic—both Thais exiting to Cambodia and Cambodians entering Thailand—via the Ban Laem border crossing in Thep Nimit Subdistrict, Pong Nam Ron District, and the Ban Phak Kad border crossing in Khlong Yai Subdistrict, Khlong Yai District, Chanthaburi province. Cross-border trade and the movement of Cambodian laborers will continue as normal. The suspension will remain in effect until further notice.

Thailand legalizes small-scale spirit production, empowering farmers and grassroots entrepreneurs. PATTAYA, Thailand – A landmark law allowing small-scale producers, including farmers and community enterprises, to legally produce and sell liquor in Thailand came into effect on June 6, 2025. The law is seen as a major step forward in boosting grassroots economic development and promoting Thai soft power through traditional spirits. Deputy Government Spokeswoman Sasikarn Wattanachant announced that the Excise Tax Act (No. 2) B.E. 2568 (2025) was officially published in the Royal Gazette on June 5 and is now in force. The law amends Section 153 of the previous act, streamlining the licensing process and reducing barriers for new entrants into the liquor industry. Under the revised law, anyone wishing to produce liquor or possess a distillation device must apply for a license from the Excise Department and comply with regulations set forth by ministerial announcements. Importantly, upcoming ministerial regulations must actively promote access for local farmers, cooperatives, community enterprises, and small-scale entrepreneurs to legally produce liquor using locally sourced agricultural products. The law prohibits discriminatory licensing rules or regulations that may create unfair monopolies or impose excessive burdens—except in cases involving foreign ownership or state enterprises specifically designed to support small producers. Licenses will be valid for three years. Sasikarn says the amended law streamlines licensing and boosts opportunities for small producers nationwide. “This legal reform removes longstanding obstacles that hindered new players from entering the market. It fosters fair competition and opens up economic opportunities, especially for local spirits, which are part of Thailand’s unique soft power with great potential for tourism and exports,” said the Deputy Spokeswoman. According to the Excise Department, there are currently over 2,119 registered producers in the excise system. In fiscal year 2024, community liquor production generated over 1.2 billion baht in tax revenue, reflecting its growing economic value. This policy shift is part of the government’s broader agenda: “Strong Foundations, Empowered SMEs, Stronger Thailand.” The initiative aims to give smaller producers a fair and transparent place in the national economy. The new law is more than a regulatory change — it’s a door to real opportunity for Thailand’s grassroots entrepreneurs.
