Charter Court asked to probe Pheu Thai party’s ฿10k campaign giveaway policy
A political activist, Sonthiya Sawasdee, lodged a complaint asking the Constitutional Court to investigate the Pheu Thai party's campaign promise to distribute 10,000 baht in digital money to 55 million Thais.
The complaint argues this 560 billion baht policy may violate the Constitution, potentially leading to party dissolution, and expresses concern it could result in massive state losses akin to the past rice pledging scheme.

How safe are Thailand's senior motorists?
Recent incidents and rising fatalities underscore a critical safety concern with Thailand's senior motorists, as accidents involving elderly drivers are increasing.
Thailand currently lacks an upper age limit for drivers, and millions of pre-2003 lifetime licenses mean many seniors avoid regular fitness evaluations, contrasting with stricter regulations in other countries.
Experts urge elderly drivers to recognize physical warning signs like disorientation or impaired reflexes, advising self-awareness and family support to ensure road safety and prevent accidents.
