The Future Forward Party clarified its controversial hashtag “Khon You Mai Pen” (People who don’t know how to live) at a gathering in Bangkok, countering criticisms that the phrase implied hatred for their homeland.
MP Pitha Limcharoenrat defined “Khon You Mai Pen” as individuals who think critically, challenge injustice, and actively seek societal progress, emphasizing they are patriots dedicated to improving the country.
Pitha articulated a vision for Thailand where the nation supports all citizens equally, rewarding diligence and fostering a shared dream for a better future, rather than serving only a select few.
The political event, which drew around 2,000 attendees, also featured speeches by party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and secretary-general Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, alongside an exhibition.

Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama

Yesterday 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
